Dinner on the cheap

Yesterday, I was at Lowes Foods picking up a couple things when I passed by the new Velveeta Helper display. $1.50. Add 1 lb of ground beef.  "Hmm. I have ground beef. Thawed. But Jake and I aren't big on boxed dinners."
Then I saw the attached coupon.  $0.55 off. "Ok. For $0.95, I will try this."
At the self checkout, I got flagged and the shopper assistant had to come over. "They're scared of coupon fraud." He said apologizing.
I checked my receipt afterwards. They doubled it, that's why it got flagged!  This box dinner was only $0.40!
Was it amazing? No. But was it cheap and easy and pretty darn good? Indeed.
