Serious question, Dollar Tree canned chili vs the 99 cent pouch kind, why is one so much better?
Last week I made two pots of chili mac, one with the $1.25 can of Dollar Tree chili and one with the 99 cent pouch mix from the same aisle. The canned stuff had actual beans and a thicker sauce, and my kids finished their bowls while the pouch version sat there getting cold. Same pot, same noodles, same cheese on top, just a $0.26 difference per serving. Has anyone else done a side by side like this, and did the pouch ever win for you?
