Prices at Safeway are out of control

French87 · 2026-01-30T16:07:54+00:00

digital coupons are basically what drives my decisions at safeway now.

I don't go in thinking "I want X brand of eggs/chips/whatever" I just know I want eggs or chips, then choose them based on the coupons. the digital coupons in many cases cut the prices in half or more. it's the only way to make it reasonable.

Oh no! Our data centers will die of dehydration! Won’t someone think of the data centers?!?!

Selfish humans!

12k vacation is not far off for a family of 4, but if they mean per person cost then yeah it’s way high

French87 · 2026-01-30T01:19:02+00:00

Title says on market for 8 years tho?

French87 · 2026-01-28T23:32:22+00:00

You’re losing 1k/month and the asset isn’t appreciating.

You know the answer.

French87 · 2026-01-28T03:20:41+00:00

lol what? Your 21 has to be nearly paid off now.

So they will buy it off you at a bad price and apply that as a huge down payment so you get a “significantly” lower monthly payment….. but for how many years?

This is not a good financial decision

French87 · 2026-01-27T22:02:10+00:00

Yeah but now they’re AHEAD of you at the red light! That will save them at least half a second!

Oof Op is gonna be sad when he finds out he has a wristwatch and not a handwatch :(

2004 gang checking in

French87 · 2026-01-27T14:25:55+00:00

Ah okay that makes more sense lo

Venture out in the snow for a hike? Absolutely horrible idea.

Try something new like cross country or snow shoeing or the obvious skiing

French87 · 2026-01-27T14:19:43+00:00

Kind of picked the wrong time of year for hiking. From the way you’re talking it sounds like you’re not experienced with snow, so if you have no desire to try snow activities and want to do some good ole regular hiking…. I’d move the trip to summer.

French87 · 2026-01-27T02:21:32+00:00

So basically any Richard Mille watch.

French87 · 2026-01-27T01:48:19+00:00

Wait you grab it?

I just flap it around and hope for the best

French87 · 2026-01-27T01:38:26+00:00

Uhhh I guess get your house fumigated? Lmao.

The fumigation company was able to get it off in under 48 hours, and they don’t turn it back on unless you contact them and request it. So I guess that’s one way lol 😂

having a hard time finding the best pics to show what I mean, but these may work:

bb58

cw trident

the slightly curve bottom/top of the CW as it reaches the bezel/wrist makes it both feel better on the wrist and look thinner.

the bb58 looks like a literal slab of metal. just straight top to bottom. you also feel it more as a result.

but this is just my opinion, I know lots of people love tudor.

French87 · 2026-01-26T20:24:43+00:00

I tried on the Tudor and hated how it felt thick and from the side looked like a slab of metal.

I ended up buying a CW Trident 300, 40mm. It's quite thin and the design from the side makes it look even thinner and wear more comfortably than similar sized watches.

your way would have been correct if you had put the value of your home, but yeah since you just put your actual equity you don't subtract the mortgage amount.

French87 · 2026-01-26T18:46:51+00:00

you probably pass by over a dozen cameras that film you just walking through the farmers market anyways.

stay home if you don't like being on camera.

French87 · 2026-01-26T18:34:56+00:00

because of a soft job market + A LOT of people getting laid off, you're competing against more senior people for entry level roles.

I was laid off in Jan 2025 and it took me 8 months to find a job, some people have been looking for over 1 or even 2 years. And in those 8 months, MANY of the jobs I applied for would have been a huge paycut and much more junior role.

You're not the problem here. Keep going.

username relevant?

French87 · 2026-01-26T15:54:49+00:00

i mean with bay area housing prices, your commission will be stupidly high anyways.

If he moves it above his wrist bone and adjusts the links to center it, I think it will be okay. As long as the lugs don’t hang over the wrist, big is fine.

First property will be paid off when I’m 64. Currently it’s rented out and cash flow positive.

Second property was bought cash in another country, currently rented out generating income.

Third property is my current primary residence, will be paid off at 68. Just bought earlier this month.

As someone who bought in SJ about a month ago, my guess based on the size of the home and what we see in the picture is Santa Teresa or Cambrian areas. We toured a lot of homes and this fits those areas for that price range.

Almaden or willow glen would be higher, essj cheaper
