Yeah, and once you make it a HABIT, it becomes second nature for the whole crew.

How far does that unofficial system go, like are you guys swapping eggs or homemade stuff too? That's basically a whole neighbor-run market lol.

I used to save every single one of those weekly review inserts because I liked having them. But I had a whole drawer full and finally tossed them last year. Seeing that much paper just sitting there, already old news, really made me switch to just reading the critic's column online. It feels kinda pointless to print all that now.

Oh wow, @gavin_johnson70, your lentil brownie struggle is too real. I tried making lentil blondies once, and they felt like weird play-doh. Some swaps just aren't worth the hassle.

In my dorm room, I used a coded language plus a locked drawer.
