Unpopular opinion: instant ramen hacks are overrated for saving money

I spent a solid 2 hours trying to fancy up a pack of ramen with eggs and veggies last night, only to end up with a slimy mess that cost more than just making pasta from scratch. On one hand, you can stretch a 25 cent pack into a meal, but on the other, the time and extras add up quick. Which side do you guys lean on for budget eating - doctoring cheap stuff or just cooking simple from whole ingredients?

Read a food blog that proved whole ingredients actually save more than ramen hacks.

No kidding, that's honestly eye-opening to hear.
