Grocery budget for 2 adults and a large dog (German Shepard mix)

I am surprised at the cost of groceries and also the huge amount my boyfriend eats lol. When I was single and didn’t cook a ton I spent about $400-500 a month on groceries for me and my dog (I boil chicken for my dog weekly as treats and get him nice lamb based dog food that costs about $80 a month for kibble and about $30 a month for chicken) since moving in with my boyfriend I do all the shopp...

Need help

Wanted to transition from console gaming to pc gaming (mainly modern games like the likes of bf6, ffxiv, marvel rivals, etc) especially for steam games and mods. Not many stores ship internationally to my location and not close to any stores like microcenter or costco. Was wondering if these are good options for what are available to me. These are on Amazon and it seems mainly the skytech PCs are ...

Remember the Whole Garlic Clove Batard? I need suggestions for a worthy substitution for that, please.

The whole garlic clove batard was sold at Trader Joe's for at least a few years before its discontinuation, IIRC starting some time between 1999 and maybe 2009? It had, as its name would suggest, lots of full cloves of roasted garlic throughout. It was the best garlic bread I have ever had in my life and I miss it greatly. If you have never seen or heard of the famous Whole Garlic Clove Batard f...

Preserving winter tires

I bought winter tires (blizzaks) from Costco and I’m getting them installed this week. I would like tips to preserve them and make sure they last. I live near Chicago, so use that as the temperature basis. How should they be stored? Specific temperatures? Can I run them in the cold on plowed roads, or will that affect the tread? Any recommendations would be appreciated.

There's way too many choices for laptops - how do I effectively narrow it down?

I've been wanting a new laptop for a while now. I've been using a \~12 year HP laptop that I finally retired and replaced with a chromebook earlier this year but finding that I don't like ChromeOS (too limiting/unfamiliar vs what i can easily do on windows) & so I'm back in the market for a new laptop. & holy crap, there are so many options, so many CPU/RAM/GPU/manufacturer/store...

Costco Christmas Garland

Has anyone seen the fresh garland at either Costco this year? It says online only but it's been in store in the past even when it says that. Just figured I'd ask before trudging up there

Shopping while black

Y'all, I am so tired of shopping while black. I feel like anymore whenever I go to the store I am either completely ignored by staff or stalked by them. There is no in-between and I find doing any shopping unpleasant anymore. At self checkout, the staff stands directly behind me or watches me the entire time I check out. I had one woman yell at me about a self checkout register being card only...

Am I the only one?

I've been doing insta cart for about 3 years now .. I am terrified of doing the Costco orders.. is that where the moneys at? I feel like I could do one Costco order and make the money I do one 3 kroger/Publix orders But the store is just so big and busy . Should I just suck it up and learn the store ?

Debating between a few $250-350 options

Hello all. Apologies that this is US based, but it's that time of year. I'm trying to decide between a few options for a couple teens whose friends have various e-scooters and e-bikes. It's not a daily work commuter, more like a 2-10 mile round trip suburbia handler to get to friends houses and nearby parks. Lots of hills (not too steep, but everywhere), so they are having issues with their petal...

Grocery store receipt integrations

I was looking into the 4 common stores I use and was wondering if anyone had some integrations setup somehow. One benefit is price tracking which I do not normally use when doing Purchase. Safeway, Costco, Grocery Outlet, Whole Foods Each store uses different methods, with Costco using JSON but custom item numbers, Safeway with nice JSON and meta data like sale prices, Whole Foods (Amazon) pre...

Is it just me or does anyone else hate the lack of aisle labels?

I like the the usual store that’s like “groceries” or “pasta and noodles” or “children’s clothes”. With costco, if I want something, I have to guess which aisle it’s in.

The Business Model Nobody Understands: Shared Economies of Scale

The late **Charlie Munger** often spoke about a handful of businesses that reject the profit-at-all-costs mindset. These firms can easily command **15**\-**20% margins** but deliberately choose not to, purely for **ethical reasons**. This isn’t a structural weakness; it’s a conscious strategy to build a **moat so formidable** that it’s almost untouchable. It’s a business model and p...

DeToxing from Globalization & Government Transfers: A Look Ahead At the 'New Economy'

**'Virgil' AI (GPT 5.1 Thinking)** Short version: you’re not imagining it. When the two big bulwarks of the last 40 years—**ever-growing government transfers** and **ever-deepening globalization**—both start to erode at once, a lot of industries that looked “normal” turn out to be propped up scaffolding. I’ll break this into: 1. **Where the government-support floor is disappearing*...
