Did you get your free $10 credit from VitaCost? If not, check into how this works here. Here’s one idea for using your $10 credit to receive a good deal for a little bit of “holiday-time convenience”.

You know that I always make a homemade recipe for healthy Creamy Mac and Cheese. It’s easy, inexpensive, and tastes great. It doesn’t take any longer to make than boxed mac and cheese – and it’s healthier.

However, during the next few weeks, life is going to be busy. No matter how I organize my days, December is just full. I decided to use some of my VitaCost credit last week to purchase some Annie’s boxed mac and cheese. Why did I do this, when making homemade Creamy Mac and Cheese takes the same amount of time? I did this because I can hand the boxes of Annie’s Mac and Cheese to my older boys and let them cook it for lunch on a day I’m too busy to stop and fix lunch.

Ah-hah! Yes, these are the times I resort to the occasional boxed convenience food. At least it’s Annie’s. ;)

If you haven’t used your $10 VitaCost Credit – you can put six boxes of Annie’s Mac and Cheese worth $1.75 each, into your cart. This will amount to $10.50. Then, enter the $10 coupon code VitaCost sent you when you signed up, which will take your total down to $0.50. With the $4.99 shipping, you’ll be paying only $0.92 per box of Annie’s. This may not be a good price where you live, but for me, it definitely is a good deal.
