  • eBay is usually the cheapest IMO

    The same vintage “rare” McDonald’s T-shirt I wanted was $50+ on Etsy, Mercari, Poshmark, even some eBay sellers. But I got it for $2 from a dude on eBay 🤷‍♀️

    Etsy is way worse at what OP is talking about, but I’m using it for vintage stuff not really electronics. For electronic stuff I use Swappa mostly









  • Pet food. I have done a lot of research into the pet industry in general and there are a lot of things being sold for pets that are literally unsafe for them. Like cages that are too small, treats that aren’t safe for them, chew toys full of toxic shit they shouldn’t invest, food that is the equivalent of McDonald’s every day, etc

    Don’t get me wrong, there’s good quality pet food you can get fairly cheap and bad quality pet food you can get that is very expensive. It comes down to research. But if you’re just grabbing whatever is cheapest is most likely setting you up for potential health issues down the line.

    This is speaking as someone who has experienced this with both cats and rabbits. The cheapest food for rabbits is usually full of alfalfa and whatever else weird ass colorful shit they threw in there that is not healthy for adult rabbits. And cat food is usually too high in carbs, too high in salt, or both. Diabetes and kidney failure in cats fucking sucks, it’s not worth it.




  • Spam your resume on whatever job searching sites you can, if you haven’t already. The best way to get work is via networking or recruiters hitting you up. You’re gonna have to shift through a lot of shitty recruiters with shitty positions but good stuff does show up every once in a while.

    Could you hire someone to clean so then you get some of your free time back?

    I used to be in a similar situation with a 1.5-2 hour commute each way and I totally understand where you are coming from. It’s not worth moving to have a short commute if you will hate where you live. You just need to be annoying and tell everyone and their mom you’re looking for remote work.
