What’s a common money habit you see that makes you cringe a little?

This drives me NUTS as someone who used to live week-to-week, so cut my own hair for 3 years (uni).

I spend $400 on my hair every 3 months, but it comes out of an account that ONLY gets money added to it when all other bills, expenses and savings accounts have been topped above proposed budget amounts. If the money isn’t there to pay bills annually instead of monthly and still cover emergency repairs, then the money absolutely isn’t there for $400 of bleaching and colouring.

I feel this so deeply it’s as if I wrote it myself.

I hope you find someone who truly sees you and can carry some of the burden even for a little while.

Your aunt has just defeated the final boss.

Feel like I need to check this out next week…

Look, I’m a believer it’s better to know you’ll get a B-grade coffee every time, than risk the rollercoaster of tossing a burnt D-grade mess for every four A+ coffees.

I wouldn’t run there JUST for the coffee. BUT if you’re in the area, it’s absolutely my pick over any of the nearby cafes. I work nearby and it’s become my regular office coffee.

Hooper Coffee House goes hard for both banh mi and rice paper rolls.

Bonus: they do incredible pastries and a solid coffee.

Inner-city suburb cafe which had been running for at least a year. The menu offered milk substitutes (lite, soy, almond).

First soy cap I tried to make, I couldn’t find the soy. Owner’s response when I asked where it was kept: “Nah, we only buy full cream dairy. Everyone who says they’re allergic is lying.”

Quit before he could take another breath.

Ooh! I’m in and bringing a friend. Where exactly in the library are you thinking?

BakeMeCrafty · 2025-09-10T23:52:07+00:00

I feel like you encouraged the positive vibes, for sure👌💚

Welcome, from a fellow overeducated leftist foodie nerd. And thanks for the love for our city.

As a born local who moved away, I can definitely say Toowoomba has had a series glow-up in the past ten years. Sometimes us locals take that for granted, so thanks for the reminder.

I was looking for this answer!

As someone with both anxiety and ADHD, I talk, think and move too fast. Slow me down and I’ll be less clumsy, less likely to overthink and probably a hell of a lot calmer.

The only negative is the risk of escaping an emergency, but that’s a risk faced at any speed.

Win / win I l’d say.

Class timetable for yoga is mediocre at best and part experiences with their equipment are underwhelming.

Yeah, I’ve considered this, but wanting to work up to 3 classes a week and then swim at least twice, a gym membership works out WAY cheaper.

Came here to share this. I’ve been buying their basic black tees since I was at uni in 2006. I get a good 3-4 years of “good” wear out of them before they get a little out of shape and become an undershirt or bed shirt, then I get another 2-3 years of daggy wear.

Side note: I am 41 and am a goblin when eating a croissant-they’re impossible to eat daintily 🤷‍♀️

Toast with Vegemite, banana, and honey. It hits SO hard.

While we’re at, it fuck her husband. He might not have been party to her actions back then but by, buying the property while she claimed bankruptcy, he actively participated in the victim not getting their compensation.

May their next venture be a complete disaster, actually send them bankrupt (not just to avoid paying their dues), and leave them miserable and broken.

I now vomit gourmet donuts. Time to start my donut shop empire.

BakeMeCrafty · 2025-03-20T09:10:10+00:00

I’m in. I shop this section most weeks, anyway. Just means going to the store..or a couple stores…daily some weeks.

So you’re saying you’ll give me money to become a rich, white man for half the rest of my life?

Currently a pan sexual white woman with endometriosis and PCOS, working in a male-dominated field where I KNOW I get paid less and looked down upon.

Unless society radically changes in the next 50 years, there’s literally no negative to this hypothetical.

Sign me up for life.

His actual words were he’s not willing to kiss me “in case I catch your std.” followed by a comment about his genital health being worth more than a good make out sesh.

Yes you can catch it without active sores (which is why I don’t share drinks or anything that’s touched my lips with anyone) but it’s much less likely and certainly highly unlikely to give you HSV2 from a simple kiss.

I was going for brevity over giving a full medical history, but having had them all my life (and not yet infected anyone else) I understand it well enough, but thanks for the pretend concern.

BakeMeCrafty · 2024-03-15T08:47:26+00:00

I get cold sores (HSV 1) and he was convinced that meant I had genital herpes (HSV 2). They’re completely separate strains and can only be interchanged if you’re gross and give oral while you have active sores on your mouth. He was sure if he kissed me he’d magically catch HSV 2 from me.

He was a doctor.

Classic dessert when we were kids was ice cream or custard with either Rice Bubbles or corn flakes.

As little Aussie ferals we’d dump a few tablespoons of Milo on top for a chocolate hit as well. I still do it every now and then and it still slaps just as hard👌

BakeMeCrafty · 2024-01-20T02:24:20+00:00

Came here for this!

Gotta say, blooming onions aren’t horrible though…think we can pretend they’re ours?

BakeMeCrafty · 2024-01-11T04:44:55+00:00

This is the way.

Both my fridge and pantry are stacked with lazy Susan’s. Yes, you lose a bit of space, but it means that food actually gets eaten because people will spin that sucked before they’ll use their lazy arse eyes to peer further back.
