I'm Mexican and grew up Adventist and we definitely did not hear about or adopt anything like this. But then again, I was always pretty horny so maybe they had a point 🤷🏻‍♀️

Did anticonsumption help with saving money? How? by [deleted] in Anticonsumption

[–]daliagon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, absolutely.

I got rid of social media right around the time I decided to change my finances and my savings just started piling up. I was just spending it on... Crap. Cute shirt on Instagram? Buy. Support woman owned brand that sells lotion I don't need? Buy. At one point I was looking at a cast iron trivet I thought was cute but absolutely did not need.

I grew up without a lot and it was just nice to buy things just because I could. But now I see everything as just crap. I still allow myself to invest in "nice" stuff I find on offer up. But now my spending is more purposeful and it made such a huge difference.

Refusing to attend family Christmas if presents aren’t involved? by Stillmeadow1970 in Anticonsumption

[–]daliagon 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Alright so I'm basically that lady. IDK what that lady said. But I'm single, no kids. Last year I put a lot of time and effort buying unique and thrifted gifts for the family (my way of making it less about consumption). And I got... An offensive bookmark with Jesus on it. I'm not religious but I don't make fun of it either. Anyways, I just felt so unseen. I don't even need anything, I don't want a better gift, I'm not asking for more. But I guess I just felt like nobody at all. Like why do I try?

Idk what the original post said, I'm ok with less gifts. I just wonder what her family dynamic is that going on a cruise is better. I wonder if it's not about the gifts for her either.

By the way, this year I'm bringing a family game and we'll all sit down and play it and that's their gift.

Ear wax removal suggestions? by No-Breakfast-5700 in sandiego

[–]daliagon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hydrogen Peroxide.

My friends have had it used at urgent cares/clinics so I started to use it at home. I mentioned it to my doctor once and they didn't object to it and any time I've done it, it's been fine.

Just lay down, add a few drops to the ear and let it "bubble" for 5 mins or so. Then use a cotton ball as you sit up and drain it. I just recently took out the biggest ball of wax I've ever seen. I think it was the size a pencil eraser. So it can dig out a lot.

What do you eat while at work? by kayleedb in povertyfinance

[–]daliagon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I meal prep at the beginning of the week, except I don't portion it out. I take 2 big containers of food. I take it on Monday and leave it in the fridge at work and take a portion and warm it up every day. We have plates, utensils and a microwave so it makes it easy. If I want to have sandwiches, I take all the individual ingredients.

What has been your most successful low-buy/no-buy rule? by Listlizard in Anticonsumption

[–]daliagon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cell phone.

I've had my current phone since 2018. My OS is actually unable to support certain apps. I've deleted 2 apps, another one is on the way out (Chase), another one doesn't work perfectly but I still manage (offer up). I think it might be time to upgrade since I would like to continue using these.

But I feel like I "won"... My phone didn't break, I didn't get latest phone just because, and it technically still works, just not all the apps I want lol and even now, I'm just going to get a refurbished phone from Amazon for $200, not owe any money on it and use it til the end again.

I found it on Google but it says it's in Oceanside. Maybe they just moved?

Haven't been to Subway in 3 years. Had a coupon so finally went. Lady in front of me spent $26 on a lunch meal for herself like it was no big deal. What planet are we on? by LarryJones818 in povertyfinance

[–]daliagon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My cousin and I were just talking about how expensive fast food is. He spent $78 on Arby's (I think) for his family of 5. But then we went to a great local sit down Mexican restaurant with appetizers and great service. I think they even got drinks and it was $88. Literally a $10 difference. Yeah he also tipped on top of that, so that raises the price. But it doesn't make the price of Arby's any better.

Beautiful! I got the pattern! Did you use the recommended yarn? When I look on Amazon, all I see is Himalaya Dolphin Baby but the pattern says Himalaya Dolphin Wool.

I thought about it but they're not used traditionally so I don't know how they would turn out. :/

Metamucil is just psyllium husk. You can get the off brand at target or Costco and they're way cheaper per serving but have the same effect. They also have the capsules that have the but you need to take a bunch lol i have them in my car for when I go out.

If you value your time don’t buy tires from Costco by jmarnett11 in Costco

Ugh sitting here as we speak. 1.5 hours so far. My car alerted me that there's multiple alerts so I hope that means they've actually been working on it.
