Tried the same kind of thing last year and got a "recipe" that mixed canned tuna with vanilla yogurt, so yeah, the meal ideas are a mess. But the shopping list part was weirdly good for me too, it actually stuck to my budget and stopped me from buying stuff I forget in the fridge. It cracks me up that these things are named after meals when the list is the only part that works. Guess a fancy name doesn't mean much when it tells you to eat peanut butter noodles.

Man, is 15 euros really worth the drama? You already got him to drop it back to 30, that's the win right there. Pay the 30 on your card, get your receipt, and sleep fine tonight.

People act like every hostel desk guy is running some big scam, but half the time it's just laziness or bad notes in their system. Take the paper trail, it's 15 bucks, not your life savings.
