tastes great but I don't know how they came up with Total Cost: $3.22 and Serving Cost: $0.40. An 8oz bag of cheddar cheese normally costs $2.50 and up; rarely on sale for $2.00.

My family and I already make something like this except to save additional money my children make homemade tortillas with a press. It's actually not very hard or time consuming and they think it's fun. It's actually now my 11 y/o's job when we have anything with tortillas.
