Macaron taste test

We are considering macarons for our dessert table. My issue with them is that they are incredibly expensive for something so small. While I was perusing the frozen section at Kroger, I came across frozen macarons. I purchased those, for around $4/dozen. Then Iwent to a bakery and bought some there at $2.50 to 3.00 EACH and did a taste test. I put both in the fridge, one to defrost, one to chill, so they would be all the same temp. Results? I found no discernable difference between them! No difference in texture and fredhnessr. Some of the Kroger macaroons had better flavor the bakery macarons and visa versa. So I'm going with the ones from Kroger for a huge savings!!!!
