Grocery store brand mac and cheese vs the fancy stuff, my wallet won
Tuesday night I stood in the pasta aisle holding a 98 cent box of generic shells and a $4.50 artisan white cheddar kit. I grabbed the cheap one because my truck needed an oil change and I wasn't about to drop 40 bucks at the mechanic and eat fancy noodles. Cooked it up with butter and milk, threw in a handful of shredded cheddar from the back of the fridge, and honestly it tasted like a solid 7 out of 10. The real win was having 3 bucks left for a bag of frozen broccoli to stretch it into two meals. Anyone else find that a little sprinkle of something on the cheap stuff closes the gap?

Man, you're forgetting the oil change itself costs more than the fancy mac, so the real win was skipping the mechanic's line.
