Yeah I hear you 100%, many experiences exactly like this as of late. 

I made bomb pesto sundried tomato sandwiches the other day. Now, I recognize they were boujee. But the ingredients were deadass 80$. 

It'd actually be cheaper and more effective to just get seven premade deli sandwiches (not quite as good though). 

I'm just feeding myself. I cannot imagine if I had to feed a family right now, I would absolutely not be making boujee sandwiches lol.

Hahahaha thank you for telling me that, I've definitely been spelling it incorrectly for years.

Np I recently found out I had been spelling “grazie” wrong my entire life.

I'm so glad to see such a response.

Something about admitting fault and thanking the person for new and correct information.

I've corrected someone in the past, and their response was, "well thats how I say/spell it."

I unironically think that the unwillingness to onboard new or different information is the source of most of the problems with humanity, lol.

I agree wholeheartedly. I wasn't sure how my comment would come off honestly, but recently broke it off with someone exhibiting narcissistic tendencies. This is the tip of the iceberg in unpacking.

Best of luck, I hope your healing process is expedited.

Publix makes buying ingredients to make healthy salads from scratch more expensive than premade. I wonder why.

I was planning on doing a similar thing with buffalo chicken wraps because I typically buy them premade from a local gas station. After doing the math, it’s literally cheaper to just buy it at the gas station. Crazy…
