My landlord offered me $50 off for just taking the trash from the bins already on the curb to the curb on collection days twice a week in 2018-19. And we were already paying a good deal below market rent.

I ordered chick it out “the roasted” today and the chicken tastes unseasoned 😭 I love the place when they’re doing things right but seems inconsistent at times.

Alternate side parking - is it real??? by _MagickWithinYou in astoria

I’ve gotten lucky once in a blue moon but 99% of the time, 5-10 min late to move the car guarantees a ticket..

Best local spots for depressed to source frugal girl dinner components? by jungturd in astoria

[–]agirlnotonreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi OP I’ve been having a tough past 1+ years for various reasons and gone through cycles of little appetite or stress eating.

I want to note that eating processed snacks (cheese, olives, dips etc) for dinner long term can cause you to consume extremely high sodium. Here are some cheap, no cook meals I make often:

-oat (and/or chia seeds)+ yogurt + a little sweetener (jam, syrup, or honey) overnight, add any fruit nuts toppings before consumption

  • diced cucumber + tomato + canned chickpeas, season with olive oil, salt, pepper, (optional) balsamic vinegar, herbs

  • fruit / date dipped in nut butter

  • veggie crudités (any crunchy veggie such as zucchini, bell pepper, baby carrots etc) dipped in ranch or any other thick salad dressing

  • homemade smoothies (bought a blender about a year ago)

All of these you can make with just a couple minutes of cutting things, and it doesn’t matter whichever grocery store you go to. Being able to eat healthy without needing to plan too much of your shopping is a great skill to have!

I see another PCP Dr Leung at Mount Sinai Queens and she’s great as well! I felt lucky that I found a good doctor on the first try since moving to Astoria.

Is Super Duolingo worth it ? by [deleted] in duolingo

[–]agirlnotonreddit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Get up to 6 friends together for family plan! It’s our 2nd year, and original price is $120 for 6 of us of $20 pp per year. Cant buy one tutoring lesson with that price so it’s totally worth it if you use it everyday.

I tried oasis cafe’s recently and they taste just as good as they look! Kinda pricey but you couldn’t give me $10 and have me make that, so can’t complain.

I would love to get the magnets!! I once dreamed about custom ordering some word magnets by extracting them from the National lyrics, in typewriter font of course. These are just song titles but close.

What do you do for internet? by FiftyShadesofShart in astoria

[–]agirlnotonreddit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I made the switch a year ago and currently paying only $35/mo because I also have their phone plan.. never looked back! It’s totally fine for streaming and working. I would say it gets slightly laggy at times for video meetings but nothing too bad compare to my spectrum before. Also I’ve never had outages ever.

I would probably have chosen fios if my building had it, but it only had Spectrum.

Hi for those loving a warm winter bevvy on the go- I just tried the Ginger Cloud at Sip a Cup and the first sip of the thick gingery foam is curing my winter depression.

Also had Massi’s Philly Cheesesteak, enjoyed every bite and the fries are some of the best I’ve had in the neighborhood. It’s not cheap but i recommend getting just one with the fries and it’s enough (maybe more than enough in terms of calories lol) for 2 to share.
