I booked a hostel with free breakfast and saved $60 in one week

Turns out they had eggs, toast, and coffee every morning from 7 to 10, which saved me about $8 a day on food. Did anyone else get burned by a so-called free breakfast that turned out to be a single muffin?

Saving $8 a day sounds like a win to me, I'd take eggs and toast over a sad muffin any day lol. Maybe they just wanted you to feel fancy about it.

Notice how everything has to be a "hack" or a "life upgrade" now, like a muffin becomes a "premium breakfast experience" just because they slapped a price tag on it. It's the same way grocery stores put "organic" on a bag of chips and suddenly it's $2 more, you're just paying to feel like you made a good choice. Most of the time the simple version is just as good, you just have to ignore the marketing noise.
