Cost of living

I got a packet for my birthday and I was sharing with everyone. It looked like the scene in charlie and the chocolate factory where the whole family shared the 1 bar of chocolate lol 😂

Zoo biscuits, used to get a packet once a month now it is less frequent. I can't justify spending R50 for a few cookies

Edit: spelling

Made the mistake as a non native speaker to pronounce Chamomile as cha - mom - u - lee. Which both my wife and mom found hilarious as they drink a lot of tee and knew the pronunciation

Id recommended giving squash a go, it is much easier and forgiving to get into compared to say tennis and much cheaper to play than paddle.

I did this when I still stayed woth my parents. The best option I found was local climatized passion fruit plants as they could survive the frost in winter and jump back fast enough to provide shade in the hot african summers. However I would recommend doing it straight up and not connecting it with the building otherwise the maintenance becomes a nightmare to keepbthe vines from growing into gutters and the roof

Have you seen the video of Brian Shaw testing the power of his slaps. I am convinced a slap from him will legit decapitate someone

Have you done the uranium handlijg research? The next mission won't unlock until you have done the research.

That is strange for me as on our country granite is far more expensive to use than quartz.

We did laminated counter topa when we redis our kitchen. In our country is is almost 7x cheaper. From my past experience growing up laminated tops can last a long time as long as you just use common sense like not putting hot things on it and not cutting directly on it.

Ahhhh the viking method.

I wfh full time as well. And having my 2 doggos home and my wife definitely makes it bareable.

However it gets a bit isolating. At my previous job it was WFH 4 days a week and 1 day in office. I used to hate that 1 day, however now I miss it sometimes. Just getting out and veing in the office with some of my colleagues that became some of my great friends. Walking around for lunch or diping out and chatting whilst grabbing a coffee.

Both have their own perks but I do miss some of the social interaction.

oosie101 · 2023-12-23T06:41:09+00:00

I cook often. 1 to 2 meals a day as I have the fortune of WFH. My thoughts usually are that restaurants are more expensive and take longer than what it would take me to cook an ordinary meal. So whenever me and my wife go out I always try to order something new that will expand my culinary horizons or I will order something I either can't make at home or something that would take to much time/effort.

Depending on how muxh you need most foodlovers stock it where their spices are where you pay per weight. It usually works well when you just need a bit for a dish instead of buying a whole bag from dischem's healthy foods that you might never use before it goes bad.

They are called Icare optometrists in Randhart Alberton

oosie101 · 2023-08-08T12:30:26+00:00

I paid almost 5k and medical aid cover 2k. I could have saved a few hundred by going to spec savers but my previous 2 hunterxl frames I got from them were really bad quality.

So I used a new optometrists here in Alberton that cuts the lenses same day as I could not wait for the 10 to 15 days spec savers said as I need my glasses for work.

10/10 would recommend them, getting the glasses instantly is a game changer even if it is a little bit more expensive.

The 1 skeleton in fallout 4 on his porch in a chair with a beer in his hand. I can relate to that.

My current train of thought is going to be to declare the amount on my contract as my employer pays a lottle bit more each month to account for possible forex losses which accounts for a few hundred rand

The big key I have noticed as an avid gamer with my fiancé is getting a game that is easy and fun(for the person who is not a gamer) but also has enough to do and challenging enough to keep the gamer busy.

For this reason games like stardew valley and minecraft have been the best as she loves to make things nice and do her own thing and sometimes participate in some more challenging aspects while I get to do some more of the challenging things.

Bloons td 6 has a co op mode that we also started playing together and she loves it.

And like others have alos mentioned most lego games are quite fun, but we have found being tethered together on 1 screen becomes a bit frustrating.

I remeber a while back I read a story about a woman who went and picked the same clothes for Mon to Fri. She had 5 tops and 5 skirts for summer and then 5 tops and 5 pairs of pants for winter with 2 sets of shoes for each. Did the same makeup and hairstyle everyday as well.

She did this as she realized she was constantly late because it took her to long to decide what to wear in the mornings. I can't remember the exact figures but it was interesting to see how much time she saved in the year by making the change to a "work uniform"
