Really cute. It’s amusing because Hamburger Helper brings back memories of some very lean financial times. To think someone would pay $1,000 for this jar now just rocks my mind! ;)

I’m going to guess that it is pretty valuable. Seems funny to put cookies in a hamburger hand!

Great shot! I guess $150. Can’t wait to get the answer.

Hamburger Helper!! This item makes me go down memory lane. I was newly married and I was having my father-in-law over for dinner for the first time. By new brother-in-law (age 9) was also invited. I wanted to make my mother’s beef stroganoff but I couldn’t really afford the sirloin so I went cheap and picked up ground beef as a substitute. My egg noodles were homemade as was the wine mushroom sauce. I was nervous but confident about my menu — until the nine year old boy said in a disappointing voice, “Hmmmm, Hamburger Helper” That really got my temper boiling.

I thought this was a great commercial character, but I don’t think I’d give over $50 for him. He’s probably worth much more…I’m just cheap.
Have a great WW.

I hate to sound a negative note — but I just can’t conceive of a cookie jar with the HH symbol. Just doesn’t seem right together. If there were cookies in there, I’d expect them to taste like meat, I guess.

I guess you can tell this isn’t going to be in my collection. ;-)

Well, I dunno…I saw mention the other day of cookies made with bacon grease, so why not hamburger helper cookies? :D

I’ll go with $150. :)
