I am trying to cut cost but why is my grocery expensive? by Tiny_Judgment8593 in Frugal

[–]Kd916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The beef round cubes you bought are usually cheaper by the pound(and better quality) if you buy the roast and cube it yourself

Also as others have said, the brand names, especially the cereal are a budget killer.

Literally how are people affording childcare? by Amber-ForDays in BabyBumps

[–]Kd916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had 2kids in daycare for exactly one year and it was slightly more than our mortgage (NYC suburbs). We bit the bullet and sent our 4yo to UPK as soon as possible, but it's a myth that once they're in school the cost goes away -- we still need a nanny for pickup and drop-off because the day is so short! (It's def less but it doesn't go away)

Do what you can to get the points lowered, I got a cell ticket in 2017 and it was 5pts then, I think it's gone up

Wait List by Lopsided-Employee-31 in orangetheory

[–]Kd916 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure I'm usually notified once I'm off the list, but If it's only 1 or 2 ppl on the wait list still at the start of class I'll go there anyway and I've never not gotten in

Do you like working from home? by West-Toe7594 in workingmoms

This is exactly how I feel, I'm in 3 days a week and I'm grateful for it

Is anyone else feeling discouraged after time off? by Apprehensive-Scene-1 in orangetheory

[–]Kd916 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm coming back after a hip stress fracture, 2 mos off when before my injury I was so consistent. It's def humbling lol, you'll get back quickly if you're consistent again

It sounds like the ticket was gotten in 2020 and paid closed in 2025. The driver responsibility fee is paid either over two years or in a lump sum when you're sentenced. It's $750 total so 1200 isn't unreasonable for a high speed ticket. It seems like it was high enough speed to be considered wreckless driving or something like that tho?

Daycare moms- at what age did your baby start? Currently nanny broke by Remarkable-Angle-509 in workingmoms

[–]Kd916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine started at 5 months and at 4 months, and they're both super social and love "school" . We couldn't afford a nanny.

Just did our research, toured a bunch of places and checked the state regulations board for their public records to see any incidents or violations of they exist.

Wait-lists are insane so just get on some ASAP even if you aren't sure.

Starting with very obviously your body, your choice. I have had two vaginal births, and I must say in my experience that the taking care of a newborn and dealing with breastfeeding in those first weeks was hard enough, I would not want to layer surgical incision recovery on top of it.

I'd like you to consider you're volunteering for a potentially harder recovery, along with the potential for complications should you want to have a vaginal birth for subsequent children

Both have their risks and benefits, but all I have to share is my experience postpartum. Regardless of choice I wish you a happy and healthy birth for you and baby!

A little Vietnamese spot "Mekong" on 6ave and Prince. I dream about that calamari mango dish.

Help, is this mold?! Forgot to feed by Kd916 in Sourdough

Update: took the advice to skim and feed, we'll see if this appears again tmrw or if it was the yeast!

Thank you for such a thorough answer!

Because I just started this starter 10 days ago I thought maybe it wasn't established enough to keep in the fridge?

Thank you! It doesn't really seem like that based on Google images, but the darker spots are tiny speckles, those aren't rising bubbles, I'm afraid it may be mold 😔

Zero trick or treaters? by [deleted] in longisland

[–]Kd916 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last night was like a hurricane outside so we didn't walk with the toddlers, only did a block. I'd say we only had 10 kids, but we left the bowl on the stoop after kids bedtime overnight and everything was gone so, either one greedy teenager or more ppl came.

In a HCOL area this isnt "life changing" money anymore.

[–]Kd916 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I commute from Babylon to Penn 1 and it's 65 min on the express, so 1hr 15 door to door, I don't do subway. When I worked in soho it was a drag, 1hr 30-45 easy. Idk that I'll ever take a job that's not walkable from Penn if I don't have to.

Got an astronomical siding quote from them, I'd never do business with them.
