What if they just put a deposit on them like we do with cans to promote recycling.

I'm not in favor of banning things, but depending how it is structured I could support structured discouraging.

Might also add: greedy

Damn, I feel this comment so much.

Wait a sec. You're telling me that giving money to people that don't have money helps them do things that require money?! I'm shocked.

I agree with both of you.

Frozen vegetables. They all grew out of the same earth, possibly even at the same farm. The only difference is the packaging.

One side: 80 grit The other side: high gloss

You are not wrong. I've been pretty fortunate in my adult life and I've adjusted the threshold as I go. Really the point is to slow down your decision making and reduce impulsive purchases.

...also, thank you for calling me out. I grew up pretty poor, and didn't ever make much more than minimum wage until I was over 30. I think I internalized the frugal lifestyle as part of my identity during that time, and I often forget that is not my situation anymore. I appreciate the occasional reminder to be more grateful of my current privilege.

I never knew this was a thing until I read this comment. I love this idea sooo much.

I'm picturing a man on one knee in a nice restaurant. The woman looks flustered. While maintaining eye contact, and in a serious tone, the man asks..."Will you please shave your snatch?"

Commenting just to draw more attention to this. It's a little long but well worth the watch.

My first thoughts were the smell of a used bookstore, the smell of a coffee shop that roasts their own beans, or the smell of a house heated by a wood stove.

Learn to fix things yourself. Mend your clothes, fix your bike or car, patch drywall, whatever. Learning to do things gives you the option of to save money doing it yourself. If you don't learn, your only option is to pay someone else to do it.

To add a light structure to this approach I always liked the "wait $100 a day" approach. Want to buy something that costs $300. Wait three days after you have decided you want it. Want to buy something over $1000, think about it for a couple weeks. A $50 impulsive purchase, maybe think about it over lunch.

A bit harsh, but it did make me laugh.

I usually set it on the edge of the sink, and pick it back up after I wash my hands.

What an odd question.

I started putting mustard in things.

...mostly on food to be specific.

What is something that is brown and sticky?

I've given up on food delivery. With the all the fees and tips and shit to wait who the hell knows how long for food to show up colder than a penguin fart.

It's just not worth it to me anymore. Why would I want to pay for that experience? I can make less disappointing food quicker for less money.

As a started reading I thought "Hmm, some of these remind me of [coworker x]". As I continued I realized all of these remind me of [coworker x].

I might have to turn some of these into bingo cards.
