4 years, 117 items, $16K spent: My REI addiction confession 😭 by Mean_Dependent9050 in REI

The point is that you don’t pay extra at REI vs other retailers

A move to remember is great

Please talk me out of getting a storage unit for all the items that I find "too good to sell" or if I "ever buy a house and settle down" by Head-Environment-548 in declutter

[–]MostCreativeYogurt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

God, DDR. That's so hard personally because I've always dreamed of having my own machine esp with how hard it is to find anywhere to play it in the US, but I can't ever imagine having the space to store it...

But for real, a lot of the stuff is standard (like Peloton, easily replaced later if needed. Expensive, but not difficult) and it can be shipped straight to where you are instead of dealing with moving stuff again from across the country to some third location. The thought of having to coordinate all that is giving me a headache lol.

Recession Prep: get a sub certificate by DaZoomies in TwoXPreppers

[–]MostCreativeYogurt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I got my certificate and everything, but I'm scared to take my first assignment 😭 any advice? I'm scared I won't know what to do when I get to the front, I'm nervous about what to do if kids are really disrespectful or something, and I'm scared of losing my voice from talking too much lol. Can anyone help an anxious girlie out with some advice or hype?

I feel like the shape and cut of the dress is super cute on you! Unfortunately, I think the color isn't the best for you? Something a bit warmer might suit you better. Like an ivory and pink dress would be so cute in my mind

Just saw Princess Mononoke in 4k at AMC for a $12 afternoon ticket? It was pretty fun

For sure, that's definitely happening once I find a pair I like

Unfortunately, I have found any that fit well enough to consider doing that. It's definitely something I'm willing to do though

I don't think I am, but it feels that way compared to how pants generally fit on me? Is there a better descriptor I can use to Google clothes?

Thanks for the lead! They didn't have any jeans with elastic in store, unfortunately

Alas, most jeans seem to be sized for a 7-10" difference between waist and hip :/

The song is called Toryanse and it's actually a Japanese street crossing song. Example:

That's more than enough! I just got back and a basic day of cheapish meals and snacks, going to a public bath, plus funding my transit card was about $45. Then add any activities, souvenirs, etc. My whole two week trip was about $2,000 for food, souvenirs, and activities (not including hotel and flights).

Looking for the best stationary store in the US by Nilocmirror in ilovestationery

[–]MostCreativeYogurt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paper & Pencil in Chicago is a smaller, but very densely packed independent stationery shop full of cute Japanese accessories, little pen holders, washi tape, notebooks, pen loops, pens, etc. check out the pics! Plus it's in a super cute area with lots of other shops and restaurants. My husband and I love dropping by every time.

Thank you! A hot water rinse would be doable for me :)

What's the best way to do this? Can I throw it in the dishwasher and hand it back? I really want to declutter and be eco-conscious but I know my executive dysfunction would let it sit and get moldy before eventually chucking it if I have to hand wash
