Oh we can file our taxes online, we're just required to pay massive amounts of money to a corporate middleman to do it.

Why is it only available in such a limited number of states?

Underwood Farms sells sauces on their website that are really good. I loved their Carolina gold sauce. As for Sriracha, Huy Fong brand was good but its peppers and garlic so it can be easily replicated. Other brands use different ratios, maybe add an ingredient here and there so some will be better than others.

Haley should run as an independent. I don't want her to win or anything but I do want her to take some of Trump's votes and cause him stress and anxiety and whatnot.

Is this for real? Time to fuckin retire, Nikki.

Edit: that's a serious question though because I've never heard of menzmag or whatever website this is from, but she needs to retire either way.

Not even a slap on the wrist.

Oh ok. I have to guess they're cooking too long then but I've never used a stovetop one so IDK how much you should adjust it.

At my previous place of employment I would report Phish on any and all spam and get lectures about reporting Phish on all my spam. Like, how am I supposed to know if you initiated the fuckin email or if a bad actor outside did? Can you give me some pointers on how to tell if it's your spam or someone else's? My current employer just adds it to the block list without acting like a douche lol

Part of it probably depends on what beans. I eat a lot of chickpeas and I think they're a harder bean and less likely to get mushy. The other one is black beans and definitely they would be easier to overcook. Did you do the quick release? If not, next time quick release then immediately drain them and give them a quick rinse in cold water. I'm just using the bean setting on my instant pot so if that's what you're doing and it's still mushy with the quick release, figure out how long that cooks for and drop it by a minute or two.

This recipe is so good. I'm a vegetarian, not vegan, but I'm always looking for really good no meat options and this is just delicious, basically it's beef stew flavored.

Also you can replace the meat in tacos and gyros with lentils using the same seasoning, also delicious. Just use whatever recipe you normally like for those.

You should look into chickpeas. Personally I find that lentils work great where you might use red meat and chickpeas work great where you might use white meat/chicken so you don't even need specific recipes because you can just omit the meat and add the legumes instead.

Right, this is the worst part. The people who most desperately need to get cheaper groceries can't afford to save money on groceries by buying in bulk. It's shitty and sad.

It is a convection oven but most people don't have a fancy oven with a convection oven. Yeah you can make it in the oven but it comes out better in the air fryer and mine heats in literally one minute, I can use it in summer because it doesn't add nearly as much heat to my house, etc. It's way more convenient than using the massive oven for a plate of fries or something and I can even cook an entire pizza in the air fryer I got using the bake setting, which again is just much easier and more convenient for me.

I'm a vegetarian and my instant pot is great for beans. I didn't bring that up since canned beans are cheap but they're high sodium and are probably more contaminated with plastic than dried beans. I would never bother with dried beans without the instant pot but they're super easy with it. So I guess depending on your diet either an instant pot, slow cooker or air fryer can really have a huge impact on your grocery bill.

Have you looked into the one time expense of buying an air fryer? You can make your own chips/fries/etc which are both cheaper and healthier. Obviously you have to buy the appliance but it pays off in terms of health and groceries eventually. Like, crackers are usually loaded with crap ingredients. You could air fry some potatoes in a little spray of healthy oil for a dollar or two and do your wallet and your heart a solid AND you're still getting your daily allotment of potatoes lol

I am lucky that my income to expenses is a good ratio so I can buy what I want without undue hardship but I cringe because I used to feed myself for about half the money.

I do buy items in bulk when the bulk unit price is significantly lower if it will keep and I will use it eventually. I will also try to get these items while they are on sale. This is a one time high expenditure that pays off in the long run and unfortunately the people who need to do this most are the ones who can't afford the extra expense at one time of buying bulk. I do this with things like rice, beans (I'm vegetarian so I'm not eating beans because I can't afford anything else, it's a big part of my diet). Also things like flour, salt, pepper, anything that doesn't easily spoil and will get used eventually.

I also allow the store to track the fuck out of me on their app by clipping store coupons. Unfortunately this is a necessary evil because it usually saves me $10 to $15 per week.

With fruits and vegetables, buying what's in season during the growing months saves a lot and buying frozen vegetables instead of fresh has the same or better nutritional profile but can be much cheaper.

Commercial leases are not always a 1 year lease though, like an apartment. They could be in a 10 year lease so I think it's still valid a lot of times. Obviously there are also additional factors but some companies are still stuck paying for a building they can't use.

Nevermind the catch 22 that it's just way easier to be active when you aren't already depressed. Yeah yeah yeah you're depressed, you need to exercise, it'll help. Ok. But how? Lol.

Ick. Thanks for the info.

Honestly the only thing that surprises me is that they're paying for information instead of somehow just taking it.

Like red states aren't already motivated against him? That's at least 90% of the reason Abbott is even doing this. Give old Joe a no win situation to deal with and take the focus off their abhorrent abortion and other human rights stances. Like, I know this involves drowning children with razor wire but he gets to control the narrative and move the focus off that.
