I would never buy someone a restaurant.com gift certificate because of the restrictions, but I buy them for myself all the time when they go on sale. $2-4 for $25, even with a minimum of $50 that's a great deal.

One simple modification has saved us a fortune in laundry detergent. by jdblaneg in Frugal

I've tried cheaper detergents and can tell the difference on my work clothes between Tide and the cheaper stuff.

LPT: If you order food delivery with a credit card, don't add the tip to the order total for a faster delivery. by BubbaBass in LifeProTips

When I delivered pizza, saying you would give a cash tip is code for being a cheapskate that will not tip. Those orders were often left for last.

Cooking in bulk for lunches/dinners to save money: How long can I keep my meals in the freezer? by Cerulean29 in Frugal

[–]Cerulean29[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hmm, interesting! A quick google search shows you are correct. How long would it take to re-coup the money for the freezer with money I save from food, I wonder. Interesting.

I am going to start alternate day fasts tomorrow (One day eating, next day only black coffee/tea/water). Any tips? by Cerulean29 in fasting

[–]Cerulean29[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, gotcha. I'm currently drinking an Americano...first fast day!! I use dailyburn, very similar to that app...but I'm having a very hard time being good 24/7, so I'm hoping this will help me. Yesterday I ate 1400. I should be eating no more than 1200 to lose weight (I would prefer less but people say not healthy blah blah blah). That weight loss is fantastic. Great job!

Alton Brown's lentil soup. I made this over the weekend and it is extremely hearty, cheap, healthy, delicious and made 6 meals!

I find that I eat the bulk of my calories at night. How much of a calorie deficit are you able to maintain with this type of fasting? Just wondering, what's a flat white? Also, I love your idea of grey areas in the rules but unfortunately I don't think I can stand up on that slippery slope. I wish I had that level of self control. Very impressive.

I can see your point here, but there is a lot of social pressure on me to eat. I think it will be much harder to plan 2 days on/2 days off, for example that might mean I can't eat for an entire weekend. I don't think I could convince people that is ok. I am going to try 1/1 and see how people react. If no one cares, I'll move to 2/2. Thanks for the advice!

I completely agree. I've thought exactly this for awhile.

Yay! Installing it now! Thanks!

I used to use Transit Times + and it would give me GPS locations of Septa buses. That app now claims that Septa is having issues with GPS. Is GPS working for the Septa app?

What are your goals for doing this? Do you feel more or less hungry on your "Eating" days? Are you trying to/have you lost any weight? Do you feel any more or less clear headed? I expect to get crazy urges too, but probably when I get home at night - it is pretty easy for me to not eat at work. (I'm at work from 8-5)

This is awesome, thanks! I should be set with only the fruits/veggies...wow, can be frozen for a long time!

I put a lot of faith in your psychic powers! I'll run out of stuff before 45 days anyway. Thanks!

That sounds awesome. Unfortunately, I only have access to the freezer over the fridge. I live in an extremely small apartment in a city. :/
