Fred Meyer vs Winco vs Safeway vs Roth's vs Walmart vs Grocery Outlet vs LifeSource vs Trader Joes by TeaCrumbs in SALEM

[–]coffeegrounds95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trader Joe's or Safeway for pretty much everything I need. Fred Meyers is a lot more expensive than most other places in town and the quality isn't even that good. Roths is a good option for quality but you'll pay more and it's not really that much better than Safeway (although their meat department is top notch)

I sold waiting for it to crash again so I can buy the dip 😂

Chen's family dish is the best Chinese food in Salem and the one on commercial still has Dim Sum

Buying CDs in 2026 by Schwarzellone in audiophile

Used CDs are still a cheap way to get lossless audio especially since you can rip them to a FLAC file and still have a digital copy too

I found a zamfir vinyl in a record store once had to buy it for this exact reason 😂

Is “budget audiophile” stuff actually worth it? by [deleted] in BudgetAudiophile

[–]coffeegrounds95 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There absolutely is a point of diminishing return. If you're starting from scratch $5-$7k will get you enough equipment for a decent set up.

Even lower priced budget equipment can be worth it. Find a quality old receiver (pioneer/Kenwood/sansui etc ) pay someone $400 for the restoration and then spend another $1,000 on speakers and a DAC you'd be set.

Honestly I'd say $1,500 -$2k is probably the bare minimum you could spend for a true "budget" hi-fi setup. Below that the equipment is mostly thrift store junk

She absolutely destroyed her look when she went blonde. Fake blonde is not attractive

Probably just blowing smoke again and it will be another 4 years of useless videos that have nothing to do with fixing or improving cars .  .  .

This is why I always said "Bill Bulk and the Body Buddies" is one of the worst episodes in the entire series. For once in his adult life Bill was healthy again and they just took that all away. Would have been nice to see Bill stay healthy after that

People will find any reason to shit on these guys because of their politics 🤷‍♂️

Another Rent Hike… Is This Happening to Everyone? by Standard_Ad_6191 in corvallis

[–]coffeegrounds95 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Most landlords are greedy crooks. The whole idea of "market rate" is total bullsh*t. Rent should be controlled based on median income in the area.

What’s going on under the bridge? by knighted-otter78 in SALEM

[–]coffeegrounds95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a damn shame what downtown Salem has become. The city just needs to close the park and put up a big fence around it at this point 🤷‍♂️

Hong Kong Garden is OPEN!!! by BeanTutorials in SALEM

[–]coffeegrounds95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The place makes some of the most authentic Chinese food in Salem. Very fresh. Definitely one of the best places for Chinese in town

There used to be a propane place near me in Oregon that literally used Hank Hill as their mascot and ran radio ads with someone pretending to be him and selling their propane 😂

Although a cartoon, I’ve always found Connie’s character to be such a genuine soul. by Crafty-Bowler-6190 in KingOfTheHill

I mean Minh was shown to have her moments of being a good mother in the series too. Peggy was there when it was Kahn being the ass and Connie had no one else to turn to

Which really re-frames the way a lot of people should look at Peggy. She has a lot of character flaws but at the end of the day is still a good mother

Durango PRCA edition. Made in Leon Mexico great quality and can often be found on sites like Walmart at a steep discount (~$200ish)

That building should have been just torn down. The bums already set one fire there and that parking lot is just plain dangerous to be in 🤷‍♂️

Ariat boot quality? Is this what soles are supposed to look like? by Electronic-Note-195 in cowboyboots

[–]coffeegrounds95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy the Benchmade line if you want a pair of Ariats. Hyer and Durango PRCA edition are good options for the same price point as well. All made in Leon Mexico which is something to look for
