29. We All Need Steak
This gastronomic sleight of hand is a masterclass in culinary economics, turning a humble salad into a feast fit for a king, all while keeping a student’s wallet as plump as a Thanksgiving turkey, which is saying something for the chronically broke college kids.

It’s the alchemy of value perception, transforming a mundane meal into a gourmet indulgence with the mere placement of a hidden gem. So, next time you find yourself in the hallowed halls of the college food court, remember: sometimes, the best deals are hidden beneath a pile of greens.
