Last night, while watching TV in the basement, I wanted a little midnight snack. I ventured up into the kitchen to grab some cereal - chose Reese's Puffs and brought the box, a bowl and spoon, and milk downstairs. Perhaps this was a premonition: at the bottom of the stairs I stopped and realized I would've prefered Frosted Flakes. I decided against another trip upstairs and ended up stuck with the Puffs, which were stale (hence I believe it was a premonition).
"Sunk costs are sunk" - is this idiom practiced or only preached? Was my case the opportunity cost of walking up the stairs too great (seeing as I already had a substitute) or was I making my decision based on sunk costs?
