Hot take: spending $8 on a spice blend saved my budget chili

I burned $35 on random whole spices that sat in my cabinet for months, then bought one $8 packet of chili seasoning at the grocery store. It made my cheapest batch of beans and ground turkey actually taste good. Has anyone else found a single cheap shortcut that beats buying everything separate?

Stick with the $8 packet, man. Pre mixed blends are where it's at for quick meals.

Oh man, I've totally been there too!

Wait, was your thing also totally out of left field when it happened? Because I swear the universe has this way of hitting people with the weirdest curveballs right when you least expect it. Like, I remember one time I was trying to fix a leaky pipe for a customer and somehow ended up spending two hours just talking about her neighbor's weird cat that kept sneaking into her garage. It had nothing to do with the work I was doing, @evahenderson, but it's funny how random stuff sticks with you like that.
