At the end of this month, my car insurance discount from taking a defensive driving course is going to expire.
I just signed up for another one. It's all online and only costs $12.50 for the Geico one. The discount isn't huge but it's good for 3 years so it definitely pays for itself. Not all states allow it for insurance discounts. Some states allow it if court-ordered or to reduce points from past tickets issued.
IIRC, there is a page on the website that shows what each state allows.

Well, we survived most of the storm. Ended up with about 9" of snow. Didn't lose power. Everything seemed to be going well...

Until tonight when I walked into the laundry room and heard water. It is an add on and all the plumbing runs in the walls. Asked kids if they flushed a toilet lately and it was draining from that. Nope. Went down to the garage (it's under the house) and peeked up into the crawlspace under the laundry add on and sure enough, water coming from a pipe. Called the hubs at work and he came home and got the hot water switched off so it stopped. Guess we'll be fixing that in the morning.

I was proud of my lack of online shopping during the whole thing, I'm bad to fall prey to some Amazon "needs" or just random browsing. But I've held off! I almost placed an order with Comfrt, I think mainly because it's so cold outside and their hoodies and blankets do look so cozy. Has anyone ever had any of their products, and thoughts?

We did pay $110 on Monday to have our driveway cleared with a Skid Steer - it was that or not get out for days or weeks; the ice had packed our driveway down so much and then we live off of a main highway and the snow plows had stacked the heavy stuff up at the end of our driveway. There was no way DH and I could shovel it. DH was actually able to get his truck out but not easily; there was no way for my car to get over it.

Otherwise that was our spending. I do feel like a trip to the grocery is in order; after staying home so many days consecutively, we are either out of most of our go to foods, or just tired of what is left

I've not used any of their products, but my nephew was gifted a sweat set by them and it looked super comfy. My BIL said it feels super comfy also and that my nephew loved it.

I'm not familiar with that brand but I bought a pair of these off Amazon on Black Friday and they are AWSOME. amazing light weight feeling but nice and warm-the Sherpa lining is SO soft. I snagged a gray pair on Black Friday and found myself wearing them out on errands so frequently I just ordered the pink the other day.

I recently bought some faux fur lined leggings. They are heaven - so cosy.
