This is an extremely binary haul. Items are either very healthy or very unhealthy with nothing in between. It's kind of impressive.

Tips: Make your own Mac & Cheese and tortillas. Both are cheap, easy to make, and taste way better than premade stuff.

Time is also a factor

Yepp.

And making a simple cheese sauce takes you the time that the pasta cooks.

Heat broth or milk or both slowly in a pot. Shredd cheese (i like a mix of bluecheese and swiss) and add. Stirr until solved. Add salt, pepper, nutmeg, a dash of white wine. Either use potatoe-starch to thicken or use enough cheese to have it be thick by itself.

Takes you 10 mins tops.

Now try making tortillas in ten minutes.

Lots of stuff can be cooked in short times and the mere existence of food that is more complicated is no argument against this. Try again. :p
