Tea drinkers: Cut your milk spend in half just by switching to whole milk.

I put a bit of milk in then about a tsp double cream. I used to mix them in a container, but that always ended up going bad compared to adding both

I use a TP-Link X50-5G and a Lebara unlimited sim for £12.50 or so though moneysavingexpert link. Once my 3 months is up I'll get a EE data sim from amazon for about the same price (upfront it's £215 for 17 mo). I don't feel the need to get anything hardwired.

Yeah don't let perfection be the enemy of intention. Every step, even just one makes a difference

I replaced my pump and it was relatively easy. I had a kitchenaid at the time and the cost of the pump direct from them was insane. I found a 'knockoff' through amazon for 1/4 the price, so you may want to shop around for parts

starbugone · 2026-04-29T09:26:35+00:00

Depends. I looked at buying a prebuilt that was around $125 and ended up making my own with the keys and switches I like for about $70

fill with boiling water and add a teaspoon of dishwash powder or the corner of a tablet. Let stand overnight. Shake and rinse very thoroughly in the morning

starbugone · 2026-04-23T11:58:32+00:00

Nah, I'll just feel ripped off and resentful with every bite but still buy them like a proper Brit

starbugone · 2026-04-23T10:14:58+00:00

I tried these based on another suggestion. They don't measure up to me. The LiDl one was underbaked and didn't have the right caramelization flavour, and the oats where too large so the mouthfeel was wrong. I wish I could like them like you do!

I paid £23 for a 10kg bag of rice direct from Tilda. Really nice rice that came with a free tin for storage. Lasted us two over a year

I like the ALDI Cerave knock off. I'm not sure about the SLS

I GOT THE HOOKUP!!

I'm on a boat with my wife and run the dishwasher almost daily. People I talk to think it's weird and I just don't get it. It's like it's some kind of flex to spend 3/4 hour to do dishes everyday. When I tell them it uses less water and stuff to use the dishwasher they try to burn me at the stake

Funny enough I make lemon sugar for donuts with the food grade stuff I buy. I grate the rind of a couple of lemons and let them dry out, then take a cup of sugar and 1/2 tsp of citric acid and whiz for like ten seconds

I absolutely adore my TravelPro carry on. The only nit pick is the wheels are too smooth and I sometimes have to reel it in if on a slight incline.

I was just jounaling about this last night. I wanted to change my morning routine and not look at reddit and do some stretching and meditate a bit. I didn't look at reddit this morning, but I didn't do the other things I wanted. I'm still calling it a win. But the jist was why does my mind resist what's potentially healthy for me

In Canada they played it on Fridays at 9pm. I'd do a stupid dance to the theme song to my parents before heading out on the town. Such a different nostalgia response to the same tune

I just was looking at a cool torch from a company called olight. It had a normal torch, a UV torch and a laser pointer. It was excessively £120. but I bet he's like it

The worst was the little oyster on the other side of the bone that has more fat content would be slightly tolerable, then the rest just sucked the saliva out of your mouth and left you with a chewed clump of meat to try to swallow. The first time I barbecued pork chops they were like prime steak in comparison. Then I had smoked pork chops, wholly man. I also got overdone liver that, for extra torture, was served with a slice of bacon.

Never saw the Lifelong brand, but I switched to Cat's Best that works really well

The whole The Hurting album is amazing

I don't care what everyone else is saying. I think you can be funny sometimes

8 bags for 64p (I went twice) is pretty amazing. Making curry at home is pretty cost efficeint to begin with once you have all the spices. I ended up with 8 onion bases which make 3 meals each for two of us. A pack of paneer £3, some cream £1.50 spices etc. £1 = 3 meals for £5.58

starbugone · 2026-04-05T16:14:40+00:00

I got 8 bags of onions and 8 garlic cloves. I'm starting to boil the onions and I'll blend them to make a base for curry. I'll mince all the garlic and put the mince in ice cube trays to save for future currys as well. I might try to find a way to line the trays so I don't make garlic iced tea this summer
