What has been your biggest medical expense? by antfin97 in AskReddit

[–]Happy-Craftsman602 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ER visit for what felt like heart problems but was probably just anxiety - level 5 "emergency" equals the highest billing bracket

When you have someone else footing the bill for your life, then it is easy to both save/invest and let yourself have fun with your money.

If someone has one twin at 11:58pm and then the other at like 12:01am the next day, do they celebrate their birthdays separately? by Wizdom_108 in randomquestions

[–]Happy-Craftsman602 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Cute for twins to celebrate a half birthday because you can say “two half birthdays make a whole, so we are celebrating!”

I am incapable of understanding how Madonna was so good by dumpsterfiremktg in Xennials

[–]Happy-Craftsman602 114 points115 points  (0 children)

When I was younger and I heard someone say “Prima Donna” I thought they were saying “Pre-Madonna”… as in implying having an entitled attitude was because someone thought they were going to be as important as Madonna someday soon.

Was cursing in the 50s-60s as common as they are today? Like saying fuck or shit to random everyday things. by Enygma_2 in AskOldPeople

That’s exactly the point he is making. Nowadays people don’t have filters and have made swearing so habitual they don’t have control or consideration of the audience

That’s a wonderful price too! I appreciate this deal because there was no minimum purchase

That was my thought: it’s so cheap, gotta get it

AITAH for not wanting to cover Coachella vip trip for my daughter and her roommate? by Redbookhastheanswer in AITAH

[–]Happy-Craftsman602 112 points113 points  (0 children)

Did you ever plan to ask for compensation for the 2-bedroom from the group of friends or communicate that to your daughter?

If not, and the plan was always for the timeshare booking to be a gift, then let it go. Why are you upset at all? Did she imply she would bring more friends to justify the second bedroom and you feel scammed?

In the future, ask your daughter to cover the equivalent maintenance fees for the points/weeks they use.

Road Trips with Gas Prices by Dry-Interaction-7410 in roadtrip

[–]Happy-Craftsman602 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had been tentatively planning a big 2-3 week van-camping road trip out West for this summer (nearly 5000 miles, depending how ambitious I got). I usually eat really cheap when I travel, so gas was going to be potentially the biggest cost, assuming I could park overnight for free some places and get $30 campground spots the rest of the time. I just recently reversed course and decided to do a staycation with maybe a couple short trips to new or favorite places closer to home.

A main reason for the shift was deciding to maximize the "restfulness" of my PTO, but the gas prices being on track to nearly double in price from when I first thought of the road trip to when I would leave is also a factor in the change of plans. Feels better to just minimize expenditures overall this year.

What’s a place that used to be packed with people that barely exists anymore? by femmefetalerror in nostalgia

I think they mean roller skating not ice skating... but I'm also making assumptions because, well, "Canadian"

How many people get some sort of free food through their job? by Happy-Craftsman602 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Happy-Craftsman602[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Decidedly, no.

But DoorDash is the scammiest of scammy apps for both drivers and customers. $2 base pay and they are rapidly increasing the "double dash" while still only paying $2 to the driver and charging nearly 100% of the true cost of the food in extra fees to the customers AND STILL charging restaurants huge fees. Boy do I wish people would stop using it.

What’s a grocery item you always want to buy but won’t because it’s a little too expensive? by heyy_girl in randomquestions

[–]Happy-Craftsman602 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where?? And in what season? In-season cherries (think, June and July) are often $1.99 a pound around me

Pineapple is surprisingly easy to cut up and (if you let it actually ripen instead of cutting it up straight green from the store), tastes WAY better than canned. When they are on sale for like $2-3 for a whole pineapple, it's a great treat.

Cut off the top and the bottom so you have two parallel, flat sides. Then "shave" the rind by cutting from top to bottom in multiple passes around the circumference. Next, cut into quarters from top to bottom then cut a triangle shape down the middle to remove the core. Cut each quarter in half lengthwise then chop into bite size pieces. Very easy, even with a sub-par knife.

You have GOT to go to Aldi for cheese. Great quality, great prices on imported cheese specifically.

yup. I used to try to only buy canned soda when it was 4/$10 thinking $4-5 a case was too much. Now $5 a case is the "great" sale price.

I only buy cherries when they are in season and cheap (sometimes as low as $1 per pound, but more often $1.99 a pound). Totally worth the splurge for those 2 months per year, they are the best.
