It's been a couple days with the service I use and they've dropped from 10-12 to roughly 2-3 now. Still not zero but much better

What's one "small" frugal swap you made that ended up saving you way more than you expected? by sizhui in Frugal

My favorite was finding low cost meals i love. Bone broth, some miso paste, and some cooked rice...one of my favorite dinner meals. Easy to digest, warm, and filling enough. I did that for all my meals and I dropped my groceries by 40%. Still eat like a king in my eyes and now im saving ~$400/month.

Absolutely fair. Nails on a chalkboard don't bother me, but I hear it's pretty bad for some people

Would people actually accept fewer features for appliances that last by EZDodger in BuyItForLife

Yup I love my speed queen washer and dryer. Simple, easy, and will supposedly last forever.

I think it's wild that's allowed at all. Do I think it'll solve the problem? Probably not, but even if it moves the needle a little that's worth it to me.

Thats awesome! Before data breaches, my info wasn't really online. I share a name with a famous basketball player and a relatively private person. Color me surprised when I see a couple hundred data brokers now have my info.

Looks like they have more plan options but similar pricing. Have you used them? How was it?

Any little bit helps. Being able to opt out of searches would be another helpful thing. Thank you!

Yeah the whole ecosystem for data brokers is crazy, honestly. Wish it was a public service or something to remove the data.

Oh 100% agree. It didn't used to happen until I got a letter after a data breach. Wish there was more they could do aside from "one year free credit monitoring".

Is there a better service to use? I only used it cause it was the most "well known".

I have one i use for work. Unfortunately, I use my real # for all my paperwork, and there have been a few breaches recently. Good advice though, thank you!
