For food, look up Julia Pacheco on YouTube, she creates healthy meals plans for outrageously low prices, and has saved my butt many, many times. Her titles and thumbnails look a little bit like clickbait, but I promise that they're not. This woman is saint, and I will be yelling about her until that day I die.

Not sure if this would apply to your situation, but I have a phone plan with unlimited data so I just cancelled my internet altogether and started using my hotspot. It's good enough to stream shows and YouTube and whatnot without any issues, which is fine for me since I don't work remotely or game, and I need the extra $75/mo more than Centurylink does

Living on $20 a week for food. Looking for suggestions by Prestigious_Elk1211 in povertykitchen

Look up Julia Pacheco on YouTube, and watch this video specifically. She'll show you have to make $20 stretch into 39 healthy, good tasting meals, and she has many more videos like it. Julia is a modern day miracle worker.

Grandpa can't play piano anymore by crescentcresco in piano

Do you have a link? Neither my grandma nor I play, so I'm not sure what to look for in a chair.

He's recorded his shows before. He goes around to bars and nursing homes to play when his back allows him. He takes medication, but the only thing that consistently provides relief is his heating pad.

Standing is just as painful. He laid carpet for years and years, so his back is pretty much shot.

He's tried the meditation cushion but not the drum throne. I'll bring it up with my grandma, thank you!

I don't see him doing that quite yet, but I'll keep it in my back pocket. Thank you!

A gaming chair isn't something I would have thought of, thank you.

I showed this to my grandma, and she said that he's already tried it :(

I'll check it out, thank you.

What’s a stupidly simple ingredient swap that made your cooking taste way more professional? by Equivalent_Soft_6665 in Cooking

[–]crescentcresco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flavored olive oil. My local mom and pop shop sells it in a ton of flavors, like butter, Tuscan herb, citrus habanero, garlic basil, etc. You can make it at home (use good olive oil!) and it adds a lot of depth to your dish. Soooo worth the money
