For those who are saying it's cheaper to use fresh ingredients...in some areas, yes, in others no. For example, I live in an area where there's at least 3 meat markets within driving distance, however, if I were to only shop at Walmart, a single steak there is about $10/$15 for a single sirloin. Whereas a bag of fajita meat is about $6-$7. If I'm looking for a quick and easy meal to serve my family, I'm definitely buying that bag vs enough sirloin to cut up and feed my family.
