inI drove 2 hours to the H-Mart in Plano instead of my local grocery and I don't think I can go back
Honestly I do the same thing with a Mexican market about 45 minutes away instead of the Kroger down the street. The meat counter alone makes it worth it, and the produce lasts way longer than what I get locally. Tbh once you taste the difference it's hard to talk yourself out of it just to save some gas. What helped me was going every other week and making a whole day of it so it doesn't feel like a chore. Weekend trips like that turn into something you actually look forward to.

inAm I the only one who didn't know you can just ask your bank to drop the monthly fee?
Googled my own bank's hidden fees after reading this and found out I've been paying $8 a month for "account maintenance" on a checking account I opened in college. Called them up and the guy acted like he was doing me a huge favor by removing a charge that should not have been there in the first place. Guess I'll be spending my weekend calling every company I've ever given my card info to.

inAppreciation post: my $19 rice cooker died on the stove at 6pm on a Tuesday and I dug out the old pot
Did you notice a difference in how the rice cooks, like maybe the heat spreads more even in the old pot? I always figured the cheap nonstick stuff was fine and the fancy ones were just marketing, but my mom's old Revere pot that she got as a wedding gift in the seventies has been sitting in my garage for years. Last month my $40 cooker quit on me and I dug that thing out just to get dinner on the table. The rice came out fluffy in a way I never got from the new stuff, and now I feel kind of silly for spending money on replacements all this time.
