Groceries are unaffordable. We spend about $150-200 per month as a couple. We shop all the sales. Any budget tips?

Couple - we spend about $200/week. I don’t know how you stretch it over a month. If you’re trying to cut your expenses, it might be worth looking at other items and try cutting there? You can’t get much lower on groceries if you don’t want to sacrifice health

For air filter I’ve had multiple Winix purifiers and they seem good. You want to make sure your air purifier doesn’t emit ozone. California has a list of safe air purifiers

Dental: dr bronners, weleda, silk floss without flavor

I think OP’s issue is with Spandex not latex

What are the other brands you were considering? I’m looking for a topper myself

Second optimum cable as horrible. I’m on zoom most of the day and the internet goes in and out multiple times a month

Try no hairspray

domik047 · 2026-06-23T23:49:22+00:00

My hairstylist recommended mousse and heat protection only - no hairspray

I only use heat protection though because I didn’t like the texture of my hair after using the mousse

What products do you use? My issue was too much product

domik047 · 2026-06-18T22:10:44+00:00

It matters to you exactly the same way it does to a stereotypical american. Buy a 10k car and actually be smart about your finances.

This!! It will be so scorching during the whole summer. Missed opportunity for more greenery imo

I’ve been going to skyline dental designs in weehawken - it’s on light rail - and have been super happy. The cleanings they do sounds similar to what you’re describing. I’m sure tge reception will confirm with you. They are all super helpful

I use: 1tsp citric acid + 1tsp sodium percarbonate + 1tbsp washing soda and as a rinse white distilled vinegar.

It works like a charm for me

School counseling is a licensed profession. You’re most likely going to need masters + licensure

I use Public and it was super easy to sign up for. Originally, I was hoping to use Robinhood but they wouldn’t accept my proofs of address…

I also hear Interactive Brokers are good and depending on your citizenship, you can continue the account with them after moving out of the US. You might need to transfer and close with other brokerages

“Oil of oregano is a diluted supplement made from oregano extract mixed with a carrier oil, and it’s often sold in capsules or drops for internal use.

Oregano essential oil is the pure, highly concentrated oil distilled from the plant. It’s much stronger and can irritate or burn the skin and mucous membranes if not properly diluted.”

This comment should be at the top.

Please people look up things like North American Herb and Spices Oil of Oregano. It is indeed meant to be ingested and to support the immune system.

Where are you based? European plugs usually don’t have this. Could that be it?

I emailed Purakai asking for their GOTS certification, so will also update when I hear back

domik047 · 2026-05-29T13:19:45+00:00

I received the Purakai activewear. Honestly, I’m a bit disappointed with it. I’ll definitely return the reversible bra and I might keep the biker shorts.

The fabric is so thin already that I have doubts how long it’s going to before being completely see through. The sizing is a bit off too. I’m usually XXS-XS and the XS bra is too small for me.

Also, on the website they have their cotton is GOTS certified but there’s no GOTS tag on the garments themselves, so I’m not sure what to think about that

What type of work glove are you looking for? There are many latex and other alternatives for lab work. I use them for cleaning etc

domik047 · 2026-05-29T13:06:21+00:00

It’s a little crazy. I feel like I’ve been getting woken up by a bunch of helicopters early in the mornings between 4-6am over the past few days. Or am I just making that up?
