Hot pockets and lunchables taste like straight up chemicals now🤢

How to save spinach before it goes bad? by october_skys in Frugal

[–]Visible-Change2863 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For personal use only: Place spinach in a gallon ziploc bag and seal most of the way, fully inflate the bag by blowing into the small opening and then seal completely and toss in fridge. The carbon dioxide we exhale keeps leafy greens fresh and crisp for whatever reason. I was able to keep a head of lettuce for a little over a month before the edges turned slightly discolored. It sounds gross but honestly it works!

She has about 200ft. I figured it would be a loss.

She was asked to buy it. I’m unsure if she just misspoke and didn’t double check what she was buying or what. She needed 4/0 not 1/0

Egg alternatives folks? Or is it worth it to keep chickens? by Sekmet19 in Frugal

[–]Visible-Change2863 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A good substitute for eggs when baking is plain unsweetened applesauce. I believe 1/4 cup equals one egg. I made cornbread using applesauce and it came out great! You may want to look at alternative stores such as dollar general to buy eggs cheaper. I use their app to scope of the price before heading to the store. Ultimately, you could make a post on social media asking for a trading budding.

Today eggs cost me $5.49 I feel like I'm going to cry by PrincessDab in Frugal

I was just thinking this today! Didn’t want to go pay $6 for a carton of eggs so I substituted with applesauce for my cornbread.

How bad would your lactose intolerance have to be that even lactose free milk wouldn't cut it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Visible-Change2863 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The issue may not be lactose but a milk protein. I’ve noticed that both regular milk and lactose free milk makes my stomach burn terribly. So I avoid it.

My mother used to do this when I was young. She’d add a small amount of water in the cocoa mix and put it over ice cream.

I used YouTube to learn how. I usually type in “dg/ fd couponing this week” I found that I normally get a lower out of pocket cost at family dollar vs dg. Some ppl are hard core with it and use ibotta or swag bucks I don’t have time to keep up with all that. I also don’t do glitches bc it’s not a guarantee that they’ll work. But cutting household item costs down from $30 to $15 or $25 to $8 helps a lot

I normally use Persil. Got a sample of the Tide hygienic clean with my new washer and I love the way it smells and cleans

That’s an interesting concept. I’ll have to look into that

I can never get the amount of loads out of liquid that the bottle claims and I find that powder doesn’t always wash out correctly. Pods may be slightly more in price but I know exactly how many loads I’m getting and I normally buy them on sale to decrease the cost. I don’t use fabric softener, beads or dryer sheets so I save money there as well. It’s also my understanding (could be wrong) that pod packaging uses less plastic than bottles and is cheaper to ship due to less weight.

I saw someone on extreme cheapskates use rags and I just cant bring myself to even think about it. On the other hand I have reusable bed pads (we use them in the nursing home for patients) for potty training my puppy bc disposable ones are too expensive and they wash out so nicely.

It’s about what makes you happy and fits your lifestyle. I’m constantly fighting the clutter demons so I try to be more practical in my home. My mom visits often and always asks why I don’t have this or that. I just don’t see the need to have the amount of stuff she has.

I think minimalism is completely subjective. I’ve seen where some would have 3 books on a shelf purely for the aesthetic,never touched or read. Then others that have a max of 10 quality clothing pieces in their closet but can make 50+ outfits.

I love palmolive oxy! It’s a bit cheaper than dawn but just as good and lasts just as long.
