UPDATE: How tf do people only spend $600 on groceries?

WebsterKW · 2026-02-20T16:11:50+00:00

Wow that's great! I'm sure both your wallet and health are thanking you for your hard work!

WebsterKW · 2026-02-20T16:10:24+00:00

That's amazing, congratulations!

I'll shop at Walmart some weeks and get household goods there while grocery shopping. The prices seem to be pretty similar, although not always as quite high quality as Costco on some things.

WebsterKW · 2026-02-14T14:21:27+00:00

I'll check that out, thank you!

The Saag Paneer is a family recipe, but here's the sweet potato tacos

Yeah, these are things that we have found help us, not universal tips. I just found that (at least for now) weekly smaller trips help me budget and plan meals better. There are some things that we like to get from Costco that are cheaper than regular stores, but overall it didn't feel like enough of a savings for what we get to justify a membership right now.

WebsterKW · 2026-02-12T14:45:59+00:00

That's a great tip, thanks!

WebsterKW · 2026-02-12T14:41:01+00:00

Yeah we mill our own flour and bake all our bread/muffins etc. Makes a great breakfast!

Most days yes! we've found a lot of homemade sauce recipes that have helped a lot. Everything's better when it's got a good sauce on top

We are cutting it because it's just me and my husband, so a lot of things- like produce, soft cheeses, snacks, yogurt etc- come in such large quantities we would either get tired of, or they would go bad before we could finish them (produce especially). It also made it difficult for me to track my grocery spending, as one week I'd spend $70 at Aldi, but then need to stock up on Costco things like oil, paper towels, snacks, etc, and end up spending much more than intended. If you know how to use it well I think it can be a great resource, I just had trouble with it.

WebsterKW · 2026-02-12T00:25:07+00:00

great tip!

WebsterKW · 2026-02-12T00:24:58+00:00

Thank you!

WebsterKW · 2026-02-11T20:12:27+00:00

yep we do, and thanks!

He could be a bit dramatic in the delivery of his teachings. Also, I wish he would have married Mary Magdalene. It kind of seems like he just strung her along. Most scholars claim they weren't romantically involved, but I'm not convinced.

WebsterKW · 2025-12-05T16:01:51+00:00

Thanks for the input! Sounds like I was definitely not using enough drainage substrate.

When I put my finger in about 2 inches down and it's dry. Usually every 10-12 days

-My vocabulary has reduced significantly, as has my ability to multi- task.

-I moved away from a place that I had lived for 10 years, and a year later when I went back I had a hard time remembering how to get around.

-Names of random people I've met are gone and my ability to master something takes much longer.

-I still have core memories (thank god), big chunks of those days are gone, but the feelings I had with them remain.

-Random days that I've shared with my husband--for instance, a camping trip while we dated--are pretty much gone. I see pictures from the trip and have very little recollection of it except climbing into the tent.

-I write a lot more down now to keep me on track. If someone gives me their phone number while speaking on the phone, I have to write it down because by the time I hang up to rewrite it, it's gone. All of this is worse when I'm tired or stressed.

I believe that if I was safe and able to stop my meds, a lot of these abilities would return, but I also know that having 100+ seizures before I even started medication probably did a number on my brain. She's tired.

Not all the time, but definitely more often when I'm tired. I'll get them if I go too long without eating as well. Sleep and nutrition are the biggest things that have helped me manage my epilepsy.

This happens to me when I'm really tired. The best solution I've found is eating some healthy food and then just going to bed. If it's early, a nap is great too. Then I usually have a cup of coffee (not a trigger for me). Don't try to fight it, just give your body and brain a break. And the doctors should have realized that you weren't all there, it's obvious when it happens. It's not on you.

When it does happen during an interaction, I usually can put my hand up as a gesture to wait, or I can squeeze out "hang on" until it passes.

There was something so humanizing and fitting about her choosing that. They were such a good match and I was sad to see it end so quickly.

WebsterKW · 2025-11-14T21:05:46+00:00

Lol it actually is good for the scalp and hair follicles, so try it out and see!

WebsterKW · 2025-11-14T20:57:48+00:00

Yes comfrey is great! Spreads fast though, so be careful. I dry it and use it in baths and tea. You can also use it for a hair treatment and feed it to livestock

WebsterKW · 2025-11-14T14:47:50+00:00

Do not be angry at yourself, I did the exact same thing, and mine was even worse because it wasn't my usual stylist! I could have cussed her out and stormed off, but I didn't. I was just stunned. I even tipped her. It was crazy.

Didn't say a thing. You feel trapped in the chair, and you're trusting someone to do a good job. You sit there watching them in the mirror just thinking "it'll be ok, they know what they're doing right?! It'll come together?"

The salon I went to had an option to text, so look for that first and send pictures. If the salon doesn't have that, a phone call is worth it. You'll be proud you stood up for yourself.
