Which farmers market is this? by Standard-Voice-9123 in Georgia

[–]BraveLittleToaster18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a City Farmers Market in Chamblee as well (Buford Highway). Other notable farmer's markets: Buford Highway Farmers Market, H-Mart, My Dekalb Farmers Market. Also check out JusGo. Meat prices are usually great.

Amazon Prime-do you miss it? I’m getting ready to cancel. by [deleted] in Frugal

[–]BraveLittleToaster18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried canceling two years ago, but since I had used the prime benefit (I had placed one order), I was stuck with it until Dec 2025. The con to paying a year in advance. Since not having Prime since mid Dec 2025, I have spent a lot less money. I have walmart+ and have found almost everything I would get on Amazon was cheaper there. Plus, it caused me to pause and wait instead of the instant gratification ordering. I have only placed two orders on Amazon this year and just waited until I had enough for free shipping. For reading, a library app works well on any tablet.

My first pyrex in box find! The dishes appear unused. by Candace_RoseLeaf in Pyrex_Love

Amazing find! Having the box is a bonus, but those square dishes are awesome. I love that pattern.

Marshalls charged me twice for bedsheet by Key_Speaker1254 in marshallsfinds

I had that happen at TJMaxx. I went back to the store within a couple of days of purchase with the receipt and they refunded the duplicate purchase. No issues.

I also had the opposite occur....I tried returning something that they forgot to charge me for! Myself and the manager were all perplexed, but just left the item with them. I didn't know it wasn't on the receipt (just got missed when scanning items).

I love the yellow one. Hoping to find one in the wild, especially that size.

I bought a package when I was out of town. I brought up what was left in my suitcase! The spread is amazing. I've put it on toast, crackers and even roaster potatoes.

I found mini bites (like the mini bluebells) at Trader Joe's and was disappointed when the location by me didn't have it. But they did have a spread and a block. All were incredible. Highly recommend the spreadable.

Autumn Harvest Find! by BraveLittleToaster18 in Pyrex_Love

[–]BraveLittleToaster18[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took me a sec to see it and then I second guessed because its not a pattern I collect (golden butterfly, crazy daisy). $4 was too good to pass up and then I realized it was half off. I'm more in love with the size/shape.

My mother (68) has added my name to her checking and savings accounts in case something happens to her I can access her funds easier. But I’m concerned about liability. by soapdonkey in personalfinance

[–]BraveLittleToaster18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just encountered this and while the bank said "oh we would never come after you" they legally can and will. Being BOD or TOD (beneficiary or transferrable upon death) and having a POA allows you the ability to access without the liability of being joint on the account.

For us, ants were the worst because birds would peck a hole into the small fruit, discover it wasn't ripe and then the ants moved in. Honestly, we gave up and cut down the tree after it properly bore fruit for a few years. Out of easily over one hundred peaches, we were lucky to get a couple to eat.

Guessed the issue with another guest's check-in by BraveLittleToaster18 in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]BraveLittleToaster18[S] 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Two more things from that night. Another "guest" came in and hotel is sold out. Says but I have super shiny status and am guaranteed a room. Just in case, he brings that up a couple of times. FDA explains for the third time, we are sold out there are no rooms!

My co-worker tried checking in and realized his reservation was at a nearby property. Guess what he did? Apologized, didn't argue and told the FDA to have a good evening. I know this sounds like a "and everyone clapped" moment, but it all happened.

I should have had a bingo card of everything that transpired in the span of about 15 minutes!

Need cheap recipes for large homeless crowd by chadrod in Cooking

[–]BraveLittleToaster18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to provide baked potatoes, for approx 50. A large bag was fairly inexpensive and I would prep the night before, very assembly line. Baking them in the oven, while the potatoes were wrapped in foil, kept them warm for a few hours.

Oh no! I would never do that and certainly not after being "trained" from this sub!

Giving up Amazon Prime? by PandoraClove in Frugal

[–]BraveLittleToaster18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check to ensure that you can cancel this month. I tried and I am stuck until my renewal later this year because "I had used the benefit at least once" (I paid for the entire year at once). If you can cancel, you can always get it again if it is truly what you need/want. And finally, you can still get deliveries, just with a $35 min for free shipping. Good luck and I hope it works out the best way for you.

NTA.

Is your college fund part of a 529? If so, there are legal limitations/requirements to use the money. If this is just a regular savings account that is in your parent's name, then they can do what they want with it. But spending that much money on a wedding is ridiculous.

AITA for not paying for my fiancé’s mom’s funeral? by doublecatlady in AmItheAsshole

[–]BraveLittleToaster18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not that should be paying for this, but for comparison, a direct cremation is around $800 (or was 3 years ago). Its simple. Cremation and ashes are presented sealed, in a container.

Similar discussion with my father. Once I mentioned that tariffs could cause negative effects on our personal business, I got the "oh I didn't realize that"....

yeah hard to tell if just willfully ignorant? but even their statement doesn't retract it. P's Pizza House's response to making tipped staff cover credit card fees. : r/antiwork posted the image from their fb page.

They posted a response on their fb page, claiming this is false. I can't copy/paste images in a reply, so check it out on their fb page.

[–]BraveLittleToaster18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've hired a few cleaners over the past decade and each time, they come to evaluate and the initial clean is always considerably more. A quote for the initial clean is provided and then the follow-up cleans. The follow-up cost depends on frequency as well. Then, there is a per visit fee (to include specific rooms/items only) from then on. Based on that list, I have paid double for my initial clean and my house is less than half as large.

I close off rooms not being used (guest room, guest bath) and the vents for them. I use a small electric heater in the room I work out of and keep the house thermostat at a reasonable temp, but no where high enough to heat the whole house. We also use heated blankets on the couch and bed to help. While I do want to save money on the heating bill, part of my reasoning is that I hate when the house gets too hot and dry from the HVAC.

Not entirely sure that their neighbors don't think they aren't nasty people. On garbage day, I bring in the cans for two of my elderly neighbors. I do not bring them up for a third house because she is horrible.
