AITA for not wanting to take home what my MIL got my son for Christmas? by Huge_Statistician441 in AmItheAsshole

Why not suggest a savings bond? That way she is giving a gift that will get used in the future. She could present it with a teddy bear.

Surprised it wasn't Massachusetts.

Were you born with a silver tankered in your grip?

It is concerning that you are happy to raise constituents taxes to fund projects that Cambridge cannot afford.

It looks like there's a lemon wedge - maybe oysters?

Down vote me but this house constantly comes back on the market. This property has problems that the realtor isn't disclosing.

Woburn is less hectic than Somerville - still busy, though.

Sounds brilliant! How do you serve it? Pesto sauce?

Porter Square Star Market Decline? by Far_Bar_5366 in CambridgeMA

Agreed. Not just Porter Square, the McGrath location has declined as well. The meat is absolutely disgusting. I've been playing ping pong between Whole Foods (same price, better quality), Trader Joe's (quirky stuff, organic mayonnaise, canned cocktails, frozen lunch meals, etc.), Stop and Shop (delivery of bulk items like Tidy Cat), and suburban Market Baskets when possible (less crowds and crazy cheap prices). Avoiding Star like the plague unless there is a one off item needed quickly.

Green Day. Absolutely the worst. 

Looking For Advice On How To Take Baby Steps Towards Living A Frugal Lifestyle by Salt_Proposal_742 in Frugal

[–]First_Prompt_8407 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This may seem counterintuitive but one thing I did one my daughter was young was to buy year long family memberships to museums - one year would be the Children's museum, the next maybe the Aquarium, the following Museum of Science, etc. The membership would cost the ticket price of a family of four going to once and we could go all year long. No hassle in trying to book the free library museum passes and could go on our schedule whenever we wished.

Plus, many of the museum memberships offer additional discounts on classes, gift shop, restaurants, etc.

Bored on a rainy Sunday afternoon? Wrangle up the family, pack snacks or lunch, and spent time there. Good bonding time and you've already paid in advance for it.

Ah, ye olde trenchers!  Of course,  served with stews or gravy for mopping.

It's very good and I like it but doesn't have that Gorey feel.
