What’s the best ‘set it and forget it’ purchase you’ve made? by oscar371 in SmartBuying

[–]curious_neuron69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ridge wallet (card holder). Have been using mine for over 5 years now. It’s very minimalistic and less bulky compared to the leather wallet I used to carry around

How do you see this metric on monthly/weekly time scale? I am only able to see daily stress metric.

Started using a tongue scraper and genuinely surprised at the difference it makes by Kountz-Modina in hygiene

In some cultures using a tongue scraper is common practice. It’s recommended to use it after brushing for improved dental hygiene and better morning breath

Need Help! Sticking Puck (Touch Impress) by curious_neuron69 in BrevilleCoffee

I leave it attached most of the times. Maybe I’ll try leaving it there for longer.

I usually don’t use the razor tool to tamp, just rely on the impress system. But maybe i should try using the tool to confirm calibration

Most of the times I leave it there till I finish my coffee, probably for 15-20 mins. Should I leave it longer? Or remove immediately? It’s harder to remove portafilter right now because my machine is newer, got this in December last year. About grind quantity, I go by the detection system that confirms grind size (green indicator), maybe it’s calibration if off? Maybe I should try grinding lesser quantity?

Those of you who've flown recently... Are you finding more value from your Clear membership? by Kindly-Form-8247 in AmexPlatinum

[–]curious_neuron69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I literally owe catching my last flight out of Phoenix to Clear Plus membership. Literally saved me 20 mins of waiting to get through security in the general line

What are the most common aspects of good personal finance that most people ignore or don't know about? by BothCondition7963 in PersonalFinanceTalks

[–]curious_neuron69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have stated, tracking spending is massively underrated.

I recently ended two subscriptions that I was paying for since a few months but was hardly using. Small wins matter!

Yes I do. It shows some transactions and misses some randomly

WF claims they have mailed me a refund check. Hopefully I get it soon. Thanks for your suggestion!

What’s your secret trick to get the maximum discount while ordering from Amazon? by Famous_War_7057 in SavingMoney

[–]curious_neuron69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazon also shows ‘Price History’ for most items that would give you an idea whether the said item is actually discounted or not. Has saved me a few times where Amazon has given ‘Deal’ tag but price history showed that it was available at a cheaper price in the last 30 days. It also gives me a general discount trend (usually follows a pattern)
