Estimated New Cost: $1.10*
Estimated DIY Cost: $0.50*
This scenario certainly embodies the essence of the "broken college kid" mentality, a feeling many can relate to when faced with the daunting task of doing the dishes. In a moment of inspiration, a DIY enthusiast realized that a standard spoon can hold one tablespoon of food. This led to a clever solution: why not skip the measuring cup altogether and use the spoon directly?
This approach not only saves time but also reduces the number of dishes that need to be washed afterward. With an estimated new cost of $1.10 for a measuring spoon and a DIY cost of just $0.50 for a regular spoon, it’s a practical and budget-friendly alternative.

Why not measure out your Lucky Charms with a tablespoon? In moments of breakfast indulgence, it’s easy to forget about the measuring spoon altogether. When no one is watching, the bowl can seem like it holds enough cereal to satisfy, making it feel like a perfectly acceptable substitute for a measuring tablespoon.
In the quest for a semi-healthy breakfast, the rules often bend. After all, enjoying your favorite cereal shouldn't come with strict guidelines. The joy of breakfast is about balance—indulging in a little sweetness while keeping an eye on portion sizes.
