February 28, 2018

This post may contain affiliate links that help keep the blog running. Check out my disclosure to learn more.

  A few weeks ago I was shopping at a new grocery store when I saw an odd spectacle. No, it wasn’t Zach carrying around a cucumber like a jousting rod (although that did happen later). Instead, we saw at least a dozen employees in bright blue uniforms whisking items off shelves and onto carts…

Hacking the Cost of LASIK Eye Surgery

  You would never know I have vision problems thanks to my contacts. In fact, I hate wearing glasses almost more than I hate not being able to see things and running into walls (which, to be honest, I do a fair amount of anyway). This is why I want to get LASIK. What if…

Why I’m Not A Member Of The Clean Plate Club And You Shouldn’t Be Either

January 10, 2018

This post may contain affiliate links that help keep the blog running. Check out my disclosure to learn more.

  When I was a kid, my parents, like many others, implored me to finish my food. “Come on, you’ll be a member of the Clean Plate Club!” they promised. Personally, this sounded like the lamest club ever. There were no badges, no field trips, no cookies, and definitely no stickers. But now that I’m…

  I love shopping online. Mostly because I can stay at home in my pajamas, drink beer, and avoid people, but there are some other benefits too. For example, I can research the best item for whatever job I need, at the best price. Rather than wading past 10,000 other useless pieces of crap I…

  Hello and welcome to another installment of Lindsay Tries A Weird Thing To Save Money! This month I’m on a yogurt-making kick. I love me some high-quality Greek yogurt, especially since I’ve started lifting weights again. But holy cow is that stuff expensive—$1.89 for my favorite cup of premium Icelandic Skyr (none of that…

The Instant Pot Is A Magical Cauldron And You Should Have One

September 6, 2017

This post may contain affiliate links that help keep the blog running. Check out my disclosure to learn more.

  Pressure cooking used to be about as hip as fondue pots, fruitcake, and those old-school rotisserie apple peelers that everyone’s Nana has. But, pressure cooking’s back on the scene with all the piss and vinegar of the Koolaid man. And it’s not just any ol’ pressure cooker—I’m talking about the Instant Pot. Last July,…

  Once upon a time I lived in a castle in France. It was OK. Sure, the turrets were pretty high, but sometimes pigeons would roost on them and poop on your head. Luckily I had enough servants around to clean up the mess and feed me avocado toast and cherries one-by-one. I never had…

There are twin evil monsters that live in my apartment complex. Their dull metallic outer frames are only matched in ugliness and vile by their cavernous, gaping, rotating inner mouths.
