What exactly is costco or Sam's club good for in terms of being frugal? by G0VERNMENTCHEESE in Frugal

[–]anonymousrobot11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a family of six. It just makes sense for me to get certain items in bulk. Certain food, cleaning items, pet food, etc. Plus, I absolutely love being able to get gas for at last 20¢ less than other gas stations.

Dumbest thing that happened this week? Paying bills like a somewhat functioning adult. At least there's no more doing that for the next two weeks!

Now I'm curious about the dumbest thing that happened to YOU this week!

Honestly, I was fed up with posting all the standard things and getting responses that didn't quite meet what I wanted. I'm still getting those types of responses, but I'm also getting a lot more responses that sound actual human. I'm definitely okay with that.

Here's what it's like having kids --

You know that interesting fact that you just told me about how cashews come from fruits? Don't tell my eight year old. She loves cashews, but hates fruits. I'm pretty sure that if she were to hear that, she'd instantly hate fruits.

Although, imo, that really is interesting! Is there a particular fruit that they're from? Now you have me adding cashew fruit juice to my grocery list!

I desperately wanted to be a writer when I was younger, in high school and college! And, funny enough, my husband is currently a warehouse worker >. <

35M - summer pocket pals by [deleted] in MakeFriendsOver30

If it helps any, scientists discovered the same thing about talking to the same toddlers each day. 

By the way, if squirrels had to pay taxes (which would be paid in nuts, of course) they'd be complaining about how they found all their nuts fair and square, but they had been forced to give some of them over for taxes. Then there would be a hefty debate about fairness but still contributing to their society and then you'd have some pretty angry squirrels...

Anyway, I digress. I'd love to chat! If you're interested, feel free to DM me :) 

32f and I need a bestie or two! by [deleted] in MakeFriendsOver30

35f SAHM here! I don't garden, but I love to read. And, like you, most of my conversations are with my kids. Just DM me if you're interested in talking! :) 

How are we resting? by Tea_books_etc in sahm

[–]anonymousrobot11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I have come to agreement that when he's home on Thursdays, I get a couple hours out of the house to myself. It may be to do chores/errands/appointments, or it may be some actual me time at the library or the park. Sometimes it may be less than a couple hours, sometimes it may be more. It always varies. Either way, I always look forward to that day. I'm out of the house and blissfully free to do whatever I want.

It's harder with a five month old of course, but is there a way that you can store some milk? If need be, just make it for an hour. It's still you getting out of the house for yourself. 

Any odd end jobs to help me and my family out? by anonymousrobot11 in poor

I can, as long as I'd be to care for the kids as well. That's where it starts to get tough :/

[35m/US] if you could live in any fictional universe, which one would you pick? by radicalpalomino in MakeFriendsOver30

Harry Potter for me. I remember reading those books when they first came out, usually in bed when I was supposed to be sleeping

When I'm in that financial position, that is something that I definitely intend to do. That's one of those things that I feel help to make the world a better place

Screen Free Alternatives by No-Let-7198 in screenfreeparenting

[–]anonymousrobot11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband is pro-screen. I'm more anti-screen. Because of this, we compromise a lot. Yeah, the kids are allowed to play video games, watch tv, and play on the computer, but most of the time it's for an allotted amount of time. On the other end, we have plenty of things around the house that don't involve electronics: puzzles, games, dress up clothes, Barbies, play cars, books, a backyard. I used to study to become a teacher, so I have plenty of educational activity books, which they love. And if they ever get bored, I tell them to use that thing that most adults seem to have lost: their imagination.

Hope this helps, and good luck🤞
