I wonder if they’d take an empty cat litter pail.

@burgerwars said in Hot Dogs, Eggs, and Personal Finance:

$7.56 is possible, if you enjoy dog and cat food, with Ramen noodles as a treat. As far as eating out, forget that. One Big Mac meal will set you back more than $7.56.

I pay a lot less than that per day to feed 3 (large) cats. They get homemade which is made from chicken (thighs, heart & liver) and egg yolks.
Burgers are expensive and Impossible Burgers are $$$.
I spend $300-$400/yr on groceries but I don’t eat out.

OP if you want to save money on groceries you need to coupon or at the very least start using iBotta.

Check your iBotta offers for $3 back wyb 2 Hallmark Holiday cards.
I bought 2 cards @ 47¢ ea. Paid 94¢ and received $3 rebate.

I checked UPC before purchasing. The offer is for Holiday cards. Thanksgiving cards didn’t work.
Good luck!

Am i correct that the magic hour starts at 12:01AM late on Sunday/early on Monday of this weekend?

Based on time zone, for east coast folks, the magic hour is 1AM ET to 3AM ET early Mon AM (late Sun nite) so get your Keurig to make you some midnight oil coffee.

I think of Mrs.Cheap when I see the little single cup machine.

I bought ink last night using a 50% back in Rewards on Ink q. Coupons for printing services, shipping and something else equally useless.

I have very thick nails on my foot. Do they make a pipecutter, to cut off the nails on my foot! LOL

Dremel. Seriously. The cone shaped grinding stone works great.

@dionaea A friend told me she couldn’t cook rice. I asked her if she was washing it until the water was clear. “Washing it?” ummm yes. Are you washing your rice before you cook it?

@dionaea yes it applies to brown rice as well but there’s not as much flour (rice flour) on brown rice since it still has its husk. Cheap rice cookers (like the one in OP) don’t cook brown rice well. For that you need a $$ digital cooker. i follow the package instructions for brown rice on the stove but for white rice:

1. Put the rice in your pot.
2. Pour a bunch of water in the pot on the rice. Lots more water than rice.
3. Swish. The water will turn white. Pour off the water.
4. Repeat until the water is clear after you swish. It can take a lot of water and 10-15 min to wash until the water is clear.
5. Once the water is clear drain off as much as possible. You don’t need to use a strainer, just tip the pot carefully.
6. Put your index finger on top of the rice and pour water into the pot until it reaches the first bend/line in your finger. For real. This is how people across Asia measure the amount of water to add to the rice.
7. Bring to a boil. Put the cover on the pot. Lower the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes or however long the package says.***

My friend who couldn’t cook rice before says that her rice is now perfect. She just didn’t know she had to wash it.

***I don’t actually know how long this takes because I use a rice pot or an instant pot. I can’t remember the last time I cooked white rice on the stove. BUT even if you use a rice pot or an IP you have to wash the rice!

I don’t know when this one started but today is the last day.
Previously it was $15 off wyb $200 or $10 wyb 2 @ $50 vgc.
This is the first time I’ve seen $100+ which means the variable load card might work, IDK.
Someone would have to check DoC or try it.
In the old days I would have used this to consolidate a bunch of smaller value prepaids into a $500 prepaid but the register won’t let you do that any more.
SO this is only a deal for a few such as Mr.V and his 6% back on groceries Amex and for me.
I have a new Chase Sapphire with $800 sign up bonus for $4K spend in 90 days.
$5.95 activation fee so $4.05 in free groceries per $100 gc.
We have more than one J4U acct so will get a few at $100 rather than 1 @ $500.

New supermarket freebies:

Muscle Milk protein drink 12 oz. $2.99. Found it next to Gatorade and Bolt24.

Evolve Plant based Protein Shake $3.69.

Gatorade Recover Protein Bars, any variety. $1.59.

@dionaea said in Lowe's Smart Garden 4.5-cu ft Poly Yard Cart, Clearance $10.96 (from $40.98) YMMV:

Hope some get it - it’s still $40.98 at my local store.

Is it in stock? It might be showing full price because its oos. If its not available for immediate pick up its oos.

@mistercheap grumble grumble. In my state they are measuring snowfall in a city that doesn’t get as much snow as other places in the state because its warmer. We got 4-5" on Jan. 2 but of course they started measuring on Jan. 4.

@angryeyebrows That gave me 4 DD varieties. Try this one for 25 varieties.

One bowl is only $3.27 at Wal-Mart. Odd that you pay more to order a set vs. 4 x 1.

@mistercheap Thanks Mr.C! I got a bag of salmon & brown rice for the cats. Their current dry food is Pro Plan Salmon & Rice so hopefully they won’t mind a little Canidae mixed in. I felt the size of the kibble through the bag and it felt cat sized. RR $21.99. It was on an end cap with larger bags that were marked as clearance. Maybe they’re doing the same as RA, giving away stuff they’re discontinuing.

@dangeruss I would think that most regulars would be willing to make a few clicks once a month instead of having ads everyday.

$29.99 with $30 rebate.
It doesn’t look like I can pay online.
If I go through RMN and pay in store will I still get 15% back?

@mrsguin the golfer got there first
