Balancing budgets and my sanity

I recently found myself at a meeting where we spent 20 minutes debating if we could save a few dollars on office supplies by switching brands. It’s funny how the smallest expenses can consume so much time while larger financial risks often fly under the radar. Anyone else found themselves caught in such absurd discussions while trying to keep the balance sheet in check?
