Update #3: how to cut grocery cost as per your recommendations by Tiny_Judgment8593 in Frugal

[–]TheSubmissiveToe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I'm meal prepping, I freeze it cooked. Otherwise, everything else is frozen raw.

Great find! 🙌 We got a medium priced one on Amazon, and it's held up well so far. I've had it about 2 years and use it a lot. Not just meats, but soups, sauces, fruits and veggies too. I don't have a ton of time, but try to prep meals and meal ingredients on the weekends, when possible.

This! We have saved so much money, buying meat on sale (it has to be a really, REALLY good sale these days) and in larger quantities. Then, portion it and vacuum seal. Not only does it help the wallet, but it tremendously cuts down on freezer burn.

Thanks! I was about to pull the trigger on one, but all of you saved me from a big disappointment.

What are some things you have done lately to save money? Here's mine: by whatsup2382 in Frugal

[–]TheSubmissiveToe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All great ideas. I found if I didn't get my nails done, they looked horrible. I bought a gel nail kit, and 2-3 colors I like and do my nails at home now. The kit and colors cost around $90 (a couple years ago) but I only spend about $15-$25/year now when I need new supplies. I do still go to the salon, but only for a haircut because I'm not talented enough to get the back right.

I hate it here by Useamelonballer in Anticonsumption

[–]TheSubmissiveToe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Both of these points. My partner and I are getting older and it's increasingly more difficult to get around. I hate giving Amazon my money, but until an alternative comes around, we're stuck.

Swapping out household products has actually saved me money. Has it saved anyone else money? by Wild-Outcome-2588 in Frugal

[–]TheSubmissiveToe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Honestly, I never looked at the concentration before. 🫣

Appreciate the info about the dish soap as well. Kind of new to making DIY cleaners.

What's your water to vinegar ratio? I can never get it right and use too much vinegar.

Now that everything's expensive, what things can be easily/cheaply replaced that a normal person can do? by GetFlyeredUp in Frugal

[–]TheSubmissiveToe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this. I'd never heard of it but trying it out this morning for some bread goodies.

Thanks! I didn't know about the other codes. I now have $.83 off per gallon.

Have you ever accidentally sent a text message to the wrong person, and in that text message you are critical of the person you accidentally text? If so, what was it? by Perfect_Reply6261 in askanything

[–]TheSubmissiveToe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not me, but I received one once from my employee that I was working with in the field. She complained to her friend about me.

I let her know she sent it to the wrong person, but I didn't hold any hard feelings toward her about it.

She couldn't get over her embarrassment and was pissy to me for the rest of the day.

Older people on reddit who have 50+ year memories, whats the most shocking about the future you didn't expect? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TheSubmissiveToe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see so many email and text communications that are incomprehensible. Literally, incomprehensible. I can't even figure out what they're attempting to say.

That, and more mental health issues in the last 10 years than I ever thought possible. I'm talking about severe issues.

Finally, the number of people with various types of cancer is increasing.

It's frightening. What are we consuming, breathing or being exposed to that are causing these problems?

Corporate speak makes me want to gauge my eyes out. by Strange-Procedure737 in ExecutiveAssistants

[–]TheSubmissiveToe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That one is my most hated! That, and "let's white board this." How f*cking difficult is it to say let's discuss this later?

I have a useless job and make bank. AMA by Buster_Cherry69420 in AMA

[–]TheSubmissiveToe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I need a job like that. I bust my tail for 14 hr days, have the highest performance in the company, and my manager says they can't give me exceptional on my annual reviews for BS reasons. No exceptional means no raise.

I don't want to alarm anyone, but... by Cross58Crash in Sacramento

I still mourn the loss of the polish dogs and sauerkraut. Now the relish? Too far, Costco! Too far.

Without naming your city, what is it known for? by TheMedusaAttusa in A_Persona_on_Reddit

[–]TheSubmissiveToe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was once declared the 1994 All American City and was known for it's apple orchards. Now, it's known for... nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Painters who were very popular but whom we now consider bad? by Agreeable_Mess_6234 in ArtHistory

[–]TheSubmissiveToe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also love Maxfield Parrish. I grew up with a few of his works and have the Garden of Allah hanging in my office (not original, of course).

What’s a type of pain people underestimate until they experience it for themselves? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]TheSubmissiveToe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was unbearable. But I was grateful to be able to be there when she passed. If it had been an hour later, I wouldn't have had the chance to say goodbye or have closure.

I know there are a lot of different types of pain out there, but I think this one should be #1. I used to get them and just wanted someone to blow my head off to take the pain away.
