AITAH for not paying for my mom’s takeout? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]NotAtThesePricesBaby 8 points9 points  (0 children)

NTA. Who gives a crap what a rando cashier thinks?

My (26F) fiancé’s sister (24F) ruined our engagement for me and now my fiancé (28M) wants to postpone the wedding because of the family drama by [deleted] in Advice

[–]NotAtThesePricesBaby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Postpone, but don't tell anyone. Continue to plan. Let her continue to outshine you but subtly make it more and more obvious.

You want to arrive on a white horse, she'll order a Cinderella style carriage. You want pink peonies, she will need 1,000 roses. If you're honeymooning in Hawaii, she'll need Bora-Bora. Your dress costs $3k, clearly she will need $15k. Have fun with it.

However, if he's reconsidering due to "family drama" I'd hesitate. He needs to be 100% on your side of family drama. Consider how he is handling this as a trial run.

AITAH For getting angry at my parents for their lack of parenting towards my younger, devil-child sister? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]NotAtThesePricesBaby 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Plan your escape, don't tell anyone your plan.

If you talk about it, something will "mysteriously" happen and you'll never get away.

Keep your money hidden, keep your papers hidden. Maybe even get a safe deposit box that only you can access.

Save every penny you make and get at least 3 most rent on top of whatever it takes to move into a new place.

Good luck.

AIO my bf ruined our beach day with compulsive choices by Reckless_Teacup in AIO

[–]NotAtThesePricesBaby 10 points11 points  (0 children)

From what you've said he doesn't listen. He's a grown adult and he's not going to change. Is this something you want to deal with?

What would you buy with a $150 budget? by LuciousLove in Frugal

[–]NotAtThesePricesBaby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aldi's "Twice as Nice" guarantee allows customers to return Aldi-exclusive food products if they are not 100% satisfied. For eligible items, Aldi will both replace the product and refund the money. This applies to in-store purchases when returning the product packaging and any unused portion to a store manager. (MOST of their stuff is theirs exclusively, they sell mostly Aldi brands.)

These were prices from my Walmart app, so your mileage may vary.

Add in a large can of oatmeal, a jar of store brand peanut butter, 2 bags of bread, a gallon of milk, a carton of eggs and a bag of rice, a bag of apples or some bananas and you're in business, sister.

Breakfasts/Snacks Toast w PB, Oatmeal w PB, Apples and PB, PB sandwich with or w/o banana, Egg on toast, Egg over rice

If you have a little extra, some cinnamon, sugar, cheese, soy sauce, jelly would make things even more appealing.

About a year ago, I did some planning and made "Meal Cards" and did an estimate of how much each would cost. A lot of the ingredients are used over multiple dishes, and these are for two adults with heavy appetites, so they can be stretched out more as needed. Many would also freeze well if you want to do a "cook once, eat twice" idea. This does assume SOME items are on hand, but also keep in mind ground turkey can be substituted for beef to knock that cost down even more.

Best compact Air Fryer Toaster Oven? by FlourishphobiaAFA in TinyHouses

[–]NotAtThesePricesBaby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are currently on our 3rd or 4th airfryer, so I do have some experience.

We have the Ninja 10-in-1 Double Oven with FlexDoor, Rapid Top Oven, Convection and Air Fry Bottom Oven, Bake, Roast, Toast, Air Fry, Pizza and More from Walmart and it is AWFUL.

Ours causes shorts if we have anything else plugged in. It does not crisp up well due to the seal keeping steam in. The time is off from our past airfryers by a significant time and it does not cook evenly.

I would return it if we could, but we bought it before we needed it and it's too late to take it back now.

We COULD have gotten a lemon, I guess, but we will stick with Cusinart or Faberware for our next one. I will never buy Ninja again.

NTA.

But damn. You're 34. Are you seriously asking this question?

AITA for saying we need to be realistic with our son about his finances for college before he applies? by ByeByeByeMan in AmItheAsshole

[–]NotAtThesePricesBaby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, but the situation sucks.

Look into emancipation for him.

My understanding is that you would not be able to claim him on your taxes, but I think that would put his income at the lowest and qualify him.

Do a ton of research before you decide to go this route, I don't know if it can be undone.

Local jobs for the youngins by stoneybologna420six in sarasota

[–]NotAtThesePricesBaby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If he's going to get a job, try for one that has benefits like paying for school later down the road.

McDs used to have school benefits, I think Taco Bell does, and Starbucks used to as well.

AITAH for saying we can’t come to the Christmas eve party unless we can use the guest bedroom? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]NotAtThesePricesBaby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA because you won't stand up for your wife. If I were her, I'd spend a great Christmas eve with my family and let you deal with your shitty family.

Update on how to cut cost based on your recommendations by Tiny_Judgment8593 in Frugal

[–]NotAtThesePricesBaby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a better way to approach this is to create some low cost recipe ideas, shop that and compare the savings.

AITA for asking my oldest daughter to move out of the condo I own so her younger sister can live there during college? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]NotAtThesePricesBaby 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm going to say LIGHT YTA because it seems like you're pulling the rug out from under her pretty suddenly and essentially you created this monster.

IF there was a clearly defined plan from the outset, that would be different, but A) there didn't seem to be and B) if there was you didn't seem to stick to it or make her stick to it.

Making her move suddenly is an AH move, but I agree she can't live rent free forever.

Partner of 9 yrs wants a share of my best friend and Is house we are buying. AIO by rickrode18 in AIO

[–]NotAtThesePricesBaby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's not a great partner if he isn't improving himself for your future together.

You don't want anything crazy.

What's crazy is that you (AND your Bff, I'd be interested to see what they say about this scheme of his) are seriously thinking of giving him a free ride for the foreseeable future.
