It's expensive to be poor. A product sold at these discounters, when measured by cost/weight or cost/volume, is always more expensive than the same brand at a major retailer. These stores are essentially the corporate equivalent of breaking up a pack of cigarettes to sell loosies.

There are a lot of silly things you can add to your car to personalize it. There doesn't have to be a reason for their existence. Some of them will earn you a ticket, however. This is one of them.

The biggest culprit in any old apartment is a draft, often via old windows and non-insulated exterior walls. Here are two inexpensive solutions that you can install yourself and can potentially save you a bundle. I use these in my apartment and they work.

Drive a few blocks into your bordering Providence neighborhood on trash day and leave your recycling in a random green can at some house. Providence residents are terrible at recycling, so there will be plenty of room in there.

Goloco, no less.

If you're so broke that you're worried about a $40 charge leading to an overdraft, stay the fuck home. You have no business going out and shorting the server because of your own budgetary constraints - regardless of your situation.

Apparently he was an asshole who really knew how to run a grocery store.

General manager was an asshole. General manager was fired. Problem solved. Actually, that article is one of the most poorly written pieces of journalism I've read in a long time.

Thank you. If bicycles had windows, they might think differently.

The earlier you can leave, the shorter the ride. Maybe you can arrange a work schedule that runs earlier in the day.

There's a lot of poverty in Providence. It's no secret that people with limited cash love Walmart prices and variety, AND often have a lot more drama in their lives than more economically stable people, as a result of persistent poverty. Not gonna lie, this lends itself to great reality TV episodes there. Especially at the beginning of the month when shoppers are flush with benefit payouts.

The one thing you won't find there is fresh produce and food.

Ummm, you clearly are not familiar with the communities this path cuts through. Home to NIMBY freaks and police that harrass actual bikers after dark. There are no vagrants there.

Why would it be dangerous? It cuts through some of the safest communities in the state. Maybe he had a medical emergency? Or took his own life? Why assume something nefarious?

There are no Vax rules anymore. You do you.

Afrobeats and Amapiano at Mezzo Lounge on Charles Street. Check out their IG for more info. Disco, brass, soul? You would have to take a time machine to 1987.

Contact these people. They're good at making businesses suddenly perk up.

I don't disagree but there's something profoundly bad about teaching your kids to lie about anything. To anyone.

The future is here. Even without solar, the savings are considerable in RI. I am shopping for a heat pump now. Did you install the system yourself?

Of course you can. Lots of people do. You just have to lie and say they live there, and teach your kids to lie about where they live when asked. The real question is, what's your appetite for doing that?

Let's settle on idiot.

I'd be willing to bet that his peanut butter scheme was intended to fool customs officials in his destination country, where incoming luggage is rarely checked. Probably ignored the fact that everything gets xrayed here, too. Oops.

Here's the thing. When you sell or pawn jewelry, they give you the going rate for raw gold (by weight) minus their markup. Doesn't matter if it's a nugget you found in a river in Colorado or a piece that was hand crafted by the House of Tiffany. Weight. Disappointment.

Unbelievably, a payday loan is a better financial decision than pawning jewelry. You will be disappointed by the amount they offer you, and then you will be ripped off by the interest charged.

Attleboro station is your best choice. Take 295 to 95.
