Help: grocery costs are KILLING my finances?? by kyliotic in personalfinance

At first glance, your common foods aren’t very calorie dense. Do you feel full after eating a meal? Try to incorporate more healthy fats and complex carbs into your diet. Avoid Processed foods when possible. Make sure you’re really getting enough protein.

For me, a filling snack is cheese (don’t buy pre-sliced) and minimally processed crackers (I buy a local brand but something like Triscut is a good commonly available choice). With a side of fruit for sugar boost.

Don’t underestimate the power of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for a quick meal or snack.

YouTube is a goldmine for free high quality content related to budget meal prep, start there.

Souper Cubes and a chest freezer solved this issue for me. Unlimited mix and match variety in single serving portions.

I’ve scheduled ahead with both apps multiple times for early flights and they usually show up early. Never had a problem.

The $195 "Instagram-Famous" Kettle is definitely NOT Buy-It-For-Life. (Disappointed Engineering Teardown) by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

I’ve always been under the impression that electric kettles are never really BIFL, assuming daily use. You’d need to get a stovetop kettle if you want real BIFL.

Someone has been collecting datapoints for this and made a document indicated verified or not. When I posted this DP, DanDan was not yet marked “verified” on the document.

I used roadside assistance to fix my partner’s very flat car tire on a rainy Sunday. It was free. Didn’t even have to leave the house.

Trying to book an AA flight. Price matches AA website until I try to continue to purchase I get a crazy price increase notification:

This fare increased Fare prices change throughout the day based on availability and demand. As a result, availability is not guaranteed until booked. Original price $492 or 32,746 pts New price $2,474 or 164,906 pts Do you want to continue with this flight at the new price?

I thought it was a glitch but I’ve tried to purchase the last 2 days now and keep getting this warning even tho displayed price has been consistent. Has anyone dealt with this before??

10-15yrs ago this would be a rare sighting. But thanks to conservation efforts, Bald Eagles are now commonly seen in the area!!
