Meal in a box vs prepared by me~

I know I am lucky that I can work at home and have time to make meals but things some prepared food like those a Banquet Homestyle meals in a box sort of just puzzle me. There is a box called Chicken, Corn bread and baked beans for $4.99 on sale for $3.99. Says serves 5 and fills 4.5 x 6 pan. Cost per serving $1.00 I could probably make double the meal for a little more 1/2 half the price. 2 box of jiffy corn bread 66 cents 1 can 28 oz of baked beans 99 1 lb of boneless chicken breast 1.99 Of course you made need to add an egg or some milk but the cost are pennies each. That would easily fill a 6 x 9 pan and serve about 8 people. Serving cost less than 50 cents a person. An easy to make meal! Honestly how much longer would it take you to make vs using the box. I will have to try it and let you know if gets a "Do Over" in our house. Enjoy your savings! Theresa
