Oh, that's a classic one. I once bought a "revolutionary" carpet cleaner that turned out to be glorified dish soap. I feel like we've all paid that stupid tax at least once. For drains, I just use a plunger now, the old fashioned kind. Those bottles seem to work on luck more than anything else.

That ScanPro unit works fine on my old Silverado.

That lentil soup plan is so smart! My buddy Mark did something similar with a giant pot of chili. He'd buy a cheap cut of beef, a ton of beans and tomatoes, and make enough to freeze in single portions. He said it saved his budget and his sanity on busy nights, because he'd just grab a container instead of ordering takeout. He even started adding different toppings each time, like a little cheese or green onion, so it didn't feel like the same meal over and over. It really changed how he shopped for the whole week.

Actually, the new grease was just bad.

Was it that new place on Main?
