Schwan’s Macaroni and Cheese Review

When I first saw this particular product, I didn’t know what my wife had spent on it. And, assuming it was considerably more expensive than the frozen macaroni and cheese products we could purchase at the store, I immediately assumed she spent too much. As it turns out, I was wrong on a couple different levels.

First of all, the $3.99 price, which is reduced by a few pennies when you buy three, is actually much more reasonable than I expected it to be. Yes, it’s still a little more expensive than some of the macaroni and cheese products we could purchase at the store. But, it isn’t that much of a price difference, at least not enough to cause it to immediately be disqualified.

What really impressed me about this product, however, was the overall quality. As I’ve said before, I’m OK with spending more money on something if I’m getting better quality. And, when it came to this particular product, I can definitely say the quality was better than expected. The macaroni and cheese had a thick sauce that was actually pretty decent. It easily was better than the majority of similar products available at our local grocery stores and it was surprisingly difficult to tell this was a frozen product.

Another thing that scored points with me was how easy it was to make. I like to cook. But, there are days when I do prefer items that are convenient. And, that was something I could say about this product. All my wife had to do was put the macaroni and cheese tray in the oven with the fish. There was no mixing and no real work. When that is taken into consideration, along with the high quality and reasonable price, I really had nothing bad to say about this purchase (other than I wish there was a little more in each tray).

I honestly had my doubts when my wife purchased this product. But, after giving it a try then seeing the actual price, I do feel it was a good decision. I can definitely see us purchasing this brand of macaroni and cheese again in the future.
