This actually raises an interesting question. If all of a sudden (or even not so suddenly) you had a continuing supply of lots and lots of money, would it change your eating habits? Would you opt for Wagyu whenever you felt like it? Would you indulge in Caspian caviar? Would you choose wild king salmon instead of farmed sockeye? Jeni's instead of Breyers ice cream? Brunello instead of Chianti? Or would you just buy thicker bologna and call it good?

The Barenaked Ladies had this one covered, decades ago. 

"If I had a million dollars,
We wouldn't have to eat Kraft Dinner.
(But we would eat Kraft Dinner. Of course we would, we'd just eat more.
And buy really expensive ketchup with it.
That's right, all the fanciest... Dijon Ketchup. Mmmmmm.)"

 

ETA: "Kraft Dinner" is what the blue-box mac & cheese is called, here in Canada, often just shortened to "KD."
