If I go anywhere outside the US, I'm making Fuck Trump t-shirts for the family and wearing those everywhere we go.

Another tried & true strategy for Americans traveling abroad.

Haha. Need to learn the accent from my Canadian friend ASAP.

 

FWIW, I've started using the word "washroom", which is more accurate description than "restroom".

I dogsit two dogs who eat the Farmers Dog dog food. All they want when they are here is the kibble the other dogs eat.

Penny wise and pound foolish, the lot of you. 

I'm taking this opportunity to sell my wife, kids, pets, the house, the cars, and any depreciable assets lying around.  I'll then be grabbing a fly rod and tackle, a change of underwear, and a bottle or two of the good stuff and riding a Triumph Bonneville down Mexico way.   No half measures.

It is also one of the worst ways to live during the complete collapse of society. The Russians figured that much out. You can tolerate a lot so long as you can stay buzzed. 

Build a still.

I just planted a coffee tree in my back yard.

I mean....I'm pretty sure that just tossing your used coffee grounds outside isn't really "planting a coffee tree," but you do you, man.

They're great for the rose bush, though.

Repaired my  breathable fishing waders myself vs spending $600 on some nice Simms.

Jerk off Manually.

Downgraded on Hotels for upcoming trips, and just hunted for cheaper options.

Renegotiated all insurances back in Jan. I recommend this every 2-4 years. And don't just do price.  Look at total costs. If you are prone to hail or flooding you want a provider that pays and doesn't require litigation.  PM if you need recs.

Tightened up our streaming subs. My Fil and I both have YTTV and he's here 3 weeks a month, we can share the 6 days a month when goes to OC or I can miss a non playoff game.

More smoothies at home vs $12 at Juiceland.

Wife and I like Lunch dates.  Found  all the good local specials and just order water.

Man we all got old.

I finally got a Costco membership, will see if that helps or hurts 

For me it was great when I got dog food and treats for two giant labs, and diaper stuff for an infant, and used to smoke a lot of meat. And did a lot of meal prep.

It was counter productive when my kid grew up, I have 100lbs of Halibut and 50 lbs of Elk and  worst of all my current wife would buy $100 worth of shit we didn't need.

 

However my in laws in Cali use the fuck out it because they don't have Heb; and enertain all the time

Also... damn we have too many streaming services.  I'm going to ask the family to pick at least one to axe.  All that crap adds up.

There is an ad-tier of Netflix that is $8 per month rather than $18.  Also, if you have Hulu and cancel, they will offer it to you for $3 per month for six months.  Cancel on the six month and they'll offer you another 6 months at $3 per month.  The Bear has one more season.  I can deal with $3.

The family was on a trip to Santa Fe over Spring Break in 2020 - when the world was just starting to spin out of control.  First stop was the grocery store since we were staying at a VRBO.  Passed a lady with a cart completely full of large bottles and boxes of wine.  Absolutely nothing else in the cart.  

During the early panic buying of COVID, I saw an old man with a grocery basket full of off-brand Ho-Hos and Ding Dongs---Little Debbie type shit.  A friend of mine saw a local District Judge with a basket full of Coke Zero and cured hams.

My kids were telling me about something called water pie that was made during the Depression. So I guess I'll check that out.

We're already more frugal than most for our income level. I'll probably finally cut back on streaming services. We hardly go out to eat as it is but will watch that. We probably waste the most on letting groceries get thrown out. Seems like there's some savings to be had or at least some better planning to do there.

I'm going to try and maintain our savings rate assuming we don't have a job loss or something else drastic. I really hope to keep retirement plans on track, but who the hell knows what's still to come.

Me and the boys also piss in the backyard instead of the bathroom to save on the flushes. 

Isn’t this a main reason to buy a house anyway.

Got rid of most subscriptions on phone (audible, nordVPN, MyFitnessPal, Blinkest, etc).

Probably going to get rid of game pass and humblebundle monthly this weekend.

Going to just stream F1 and baseball this year (already have nba league pass).

Went through all credit cards to make sure no other reoccurring surprises. Made sure to move everything to just 1 card.

If you eat the coffee berries and poop them out to see off they taste better than the civet poop coffee beans from Indonesia.

People who claim eating healthy is expensive are full of shit.

Clearly, you do not shop at Whole Foods.
