Yeah that was the first thing I thought when I read this. “Washing, the dishes? Make it a treat!” No, you live here. Do the dishes.

This is much better than my solution of: stack of paper bags next to the microwave, pile of reusable bags hanging haphazardly in the coat closet, wad of plastic bags stuffed in the mop bucket or collecting dust in the back of the closet.

I don’t know how I ended up on this 2 year old article, but comment redacted because I feel silly.

I don’t have kids, but I can’t see underpaying someone you’re trusting to care for your kids. They’re presumably important to you.

Yep, Ally gives a full 1%! I love my Ally accounts. Some may argue for brick and mortar bank locations, but I’ve never needed one. I can open a new account online, they mail me free checks when I need them, I can deposit checks with my phone, and they refund ATM fees. I’m good.

I really enjoy Takenoko with 2 people. It feels a little different with 2 people than it does with 4, which is to be expected, but it works just as well. It can be quite strategic, which means my boyfriend likes it a lot, but it’s also easy to learn and it’s cute, which helped for roping in his sister :)

We’re planning on getting a joint account specifically for joint expenses when we buy a house later this year. The plan at this moment is to figure out how much money we need to cover the basics, mortage, electricity, water, trash, etc. Then we’ll split it and set up an automatic deposit from our paychecks, with a

Ever since I hit roughly high school age and got sick of Kraft singles, I’ve made my grilled cheese with muenster slices. Love. It’s easy to find, it’s generally my sandwich cheese of choice, and the sliced cheese that has a regular home in my fridge. And it sure is tasty melted between buttery pieces of bread. Yum.

I seriously wish men’s pants fit my hips better. I love men’s cargo pants for casual wear. But they usually don’t have any stretch to them, and my butt-to-waist ratio is entirely too high.

You can buy the same razors for even cheaper (same exact, it’s their source) from dorcousa.com . That’s what I do. I spend about 25 bucks and get a pile of cartridges, a new handle if I want one, and then forget about buying razors for at least a year, usually longer.

Builds credit, plus cash back points. I use a credit card for everything (that takes my Discover, I carry a debit card for places that don’t) and pay it off in full at the end of the month. I treat it as a debit card, except I have to pay it off instead of it coming directly out of my bank account. Using a credit card

Yeah, that is a good thing to point out. Older eggs are better for some applications than fresh ones, even, like hard boiling (they’re easier to peel). But I suppose in general I’m a fan of knowing about your application so you know what’s important.

Yeah, we use cheese until it starts turning colors, yogurt’s good for weeks after its date, as far as I can tell eggs are good for basically forever in the fridge (outside the US, which washes its eggs in a way that compromises their outer barriers, people keep their eggs on the counter), as long as they don’t have a

How did you find a class like that? I’m in Kansas City, so the specific class wouldn’t be helpful, but knowing how you came across it might be.

Thank you. I honestly had no idea this was even a thing. I was looking at a local credit union, but I will look at mortgage brokers, too.

I’m looking to buy a house later this year and I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE TO START OR WHO CAN ANSWER MY QUESTIONS. A friend gave me the email of her realtor, do I ask her questions? I thought we’d ask banks about mortgages, but they’re really not helpful and don’t want to talk to us unless we’re applying for a loan right

That’s what I was thinking. Or, I guess what I was thinking, was that if I’m at the store for a proper haul of groceries, I’m using a cart, and I’m not buying much junk. But if I’m at the store because there aren’t any snacks in the house and I’m having a craving, I probably took a basket, and I’m probably loading up

I thought they were scrapping it because he was going to be a huge part of Daredevil. I agree about Punisher being boring, but I was personally hoping they went for the rumored Moon Knight instead :P

I know how to cook quite well, and I still easy-mode spaghetti. I’ve never just done the boil noodles, heat up a jar of a sauce thing, but I do it the way my mom always did: brown some ground beef, add some garlic and onions, then add the jar of sauce. These days I add loads of spices, too, but it’s still a very low
