Oh Costco, you’ve truly outdone yourself this time.
The wholesale store just figured out a way to make sure you will never run out of mac and cheese again: sell it in a 27-lb. tub.
You read that correctly, 27 lbs. That’s as much as about 100 baseballs, half a bale of hay or your average 3-year-old child.

The bucket is already divided into six vacuum packs of cheese sauce and six packets of macaroni... But they are currently sold out after the publicity from the People article. This is a product meant largely for people who want long term storage of food for emergency situations.
Bags of rice and beans are staples of long term storage, but $90 for some prepackaged mac and cheese in a bucket to keep rodents and insects from getting to it would be good for variety.
We lost all of our Sam's Clubs, but Walmart and Costco are still around 30 cents or more a gallon cheaper than most gas stations and at least 10 cents cheaper than Safeway or Fred Meyers even before you add in the 3% or 4% discount you get using a Costco or Sam's Club credit card. This shows how the market varies across the country.
“Would you eat this?”
Hell no. Armadillos are vectors for Leprosy.

“In most places around the world where leprosy shows up, the disease is thought to pass from person to person. But in Central America and parts of the U.S. South and Southwest, armadillos are common, showing up in backyards, under porches, and by the side of the road. And in some places, more than 20% of armadillos are infected with leprosy.”
Is reading the articles even allowed? That almost seems like cheating.
None other!
