Thanks for the Saturday afternoon entertainment. You’ve pretty much nailed “Whole Paycheck”. There’s one in Boulder, CO and the only difference between yours and this one is the very large percentage of University of Colorado students and professors that make up their clientele.

I can only assume the students must have very wealthy parents if they can afford to shop at Whole Paycheck. (When I went to undergraduate school in Blacksburg, VA, we survived on Kroger Mac ‘N Cheese at 19 cents a box and bone-in chuck at 69 cents a pound, and other assorted staples we cooked from scratch into our own delicious meals.)

We must have been in school at about the same time. I made the 19 cents a box mac and cheese. If things were really tight, I would use only water.

My typical student fare was those "noodles-in-a-cup". Just add hot water and instant meal! We'd buy them by the case and we learned to like it!
