Fair enough.

If savings is the aim, best to make your own almond milk or have a conversation with your housemates.

SPT makes excellent mini-appliances for refrigeration, however your budget is so very low it's almost untenable. Excluding second hand I really couldn't tell you what to do.

You're looking for "cheap" and that's not really how BIFL works.

I have fibromyalgia and diabetes so I have to take extra good care of my feet. I wear only Darn Tough socks or Farm to Feet socks. I have found them to be durable, warm, non-irritating and very good quality. Darn Tough says you can wear their socks several days in row. Yep. You can. They don't stink, get soggy or get looser. I wore one pair two weeks just to see how long I could go on one pair of socks and have them be comfortable. I buy one pair of Darn Tough socks, on average, per month. I love having lots and lots and lots of pairs of Darn Tough socks.

Zip Top is a lot better

Wok, cleaver & board .

Hell yeah and he’s still gonna be when he’s 60

Yup

I've cooked with cast iron for 20ish years, and you are right. It's way easier cooking with all clad or non stick! There are certainly roles cast iron plays way better like oven cooking and searing meats, but really, people in this sub are getting stuck too easily into a scenario that doesn't exist. WE DON'T LIVE IN THE 1800's! They removed PFOAS from modern cookware and it's tremendously easier to cook in non stick and steel pans in many scenarios.

Cast iron and BIFL shouldn't be your identity as a person. There certainly is a reason these modern inventions exist. So try them out !

World Market.

No

If you're trying to avoid plastic containers, working glasses with lids like these from Crate and Barrel or Luminarc are great for food prep storage or small portion leftovers. I have these jars in the 14 and 21oz. They can also double as wider drinking glasses. The lids will probably fail over time, but the replacements are cheap, and the sizing specs seem to have stayed the same for decades. For even smaller storage to hold things like sauces/dressings I use 4oz Ball canning jars.

Can we fix it?

Yes we can!

Yeat would be proud

Holy shit lol, I've got like 75 and I thought that was a lot. I mostly collect American muscle cars and a few JDM or other cars that I like. What do you like to collect mostly?

I'm 29 and I also collect Hot Wheels. I have well over 1500 at this point lmao

I loved that game! Fond memories making the most absurd ski slopes possible lol

While I absolutely love my zojirushi I highly doubt they will last anywhere close to "life"

I have a metal one that I just give to my kid from when I was a boy!

Again, the Kitchenaid mixer. A friend of mine gave me hers (after maybe a decade) and I’ve had it almost five years. May as well be new. I expect it will run well pay my death.

Agreed on the thin tops. Lunch in my Pyrex bowls over the last 5 years have cracked the thin tops. Replacement lids are same price as new set.

Wooooo! Man, thank you so much!

Post again when you do! Great find. That dump truck is like 70 alone I think.

I keep getting these silicone bags as gifts from a family member who works at a store that sells them, and I have to say I'm really not a fan. The silicone material is very thick, bulky, and heavy. As a result, the amount of usable storage volume inside each bag is infuriatingly small compared to the total space that each bag takes up. The seals are difficult to close and even more difficult to open. Worst of all, the bags are near impossible to clean, particularly the inside seams. I once used one to cook some chicken in the oven and the inside was permanently stained. I put it in the dishwasher upside down with the seal spread open over the tines, but the hot soapy water still couldn't reach the inside corners of the bag. I had to scrub out the inside seam with a toothbrush. Way more effort than it's worth.

In my opinion, you're better off with mason jars.

Got it. Cast jron pans
