So exciting! if you wouldn’t remind telling us your thoughts on them.
Sure. Will do.

No this is a certain cup I’m sipping. Meeting MSR now, but on an account approved already. So not directly about a brand new account with new restrictions but still a Chase account.I’m more talking about Chase and their recent assault on sole props haha. You do what you need to do with Amex. I think we are just having two different conversations at this point![]()
I tried to tell DH to do this today. He looked and said the prices were hugely inflated so donned his mask and went out to make a liquor run. It might be partly because he has only been out of the house once in the past 5 weeks.I don’t know who needs this information, but with all the mentions of wine being delivered. Check out Drizly (they have a website and app). It’s like door dash for liquor stores. I was able to get my alcohol delivered to my doorstep in under 30 minutes a week ago. They seem to be in lots of cities, and from what I could tell, don’t appear to mark up the prices a lot as they seemed comparable to in store prices.

Not available here, which is a bummer. I shopped at our local liquor store 5 weeks ago, at Costco 3 (?) weeks ago, and got some canned beer to-go last weekend with a dinner order from the local brewpub. I'll need more beer next weekend, though if the weather gets warmer I will shift to gin & tonicsI don’t know who needs this information, but with all the mentions of wine being delivered.

From your mouth to the pandemic's ears!Our passports expire in Aug so we dropped them off this morning to get them renewed. Maybe that we will bring us good luck that Australia will happen.
That’s strange. The prices for the stores offered to me here in Newport, RI are the exact same or within a dollar of the prices in the store. They do run more expensive than if I went to the class six on the Naval Station (but all regular liquor stores do as well). But that would require me putting on real pants, and I’m not willing to make that kind of commitment.I tried to tell DH to do this today.

I am about willing to try anything at this point.From your mouth to the pandemic's ears!

Well to DH a dollar is a big deal. I gave him a budget to spend, he wants to make it go as far as he can lol.That’s strange.

We are headed to Boston for the July 31st concert! Right now, it is the only trip this summer we aren't planning to cancel. Where are you staying? We have reservations at the Home2Suites that is a mile away. Just worried about walking back at night since I figure the ubers and traffic will be terrible.
Hope you are able to take all your trips!
Wow am I the only one the slept last night?
I have nothing worthwhile to say but I may have been eating skippy straight out of the jar today and I may or may not have bought a clearance bag of candy at Target that is basically bunny shaped circus peanuts, just to have two or three and toss the rest.
The only Easter I looked at was what candy they had left. It was a whopping 30 % offThis is super shallow but did you happen to notice if was Target having their Easter clearance? For years, my sister, cousin, and I have done Target clearances - we leave kids and husbands at home and shop together. We haven’t this year because my cousin is a pediatrician and is staying away from people outside of work as much as possible plus I feel bad going to a Target without a known goal in mind. I miss my girl time.
I picked up a bunch of half price Easter candy at walmart this week. I was at walmart with a legitimate list. That said, I spent way too much time lingering in the Easter candy section. My deadly sin is gluttony!This is super shallow but did you happen to notice if was Target having their Easter clearance?

I completely understand. I am generally a very frugal person, and generally don’t like to pay for convenience. But these days, the pull of staying in my pajama pants (aka: lazy is the new socially responsible!) wins out over frugality. I think this means I’ve been in pajama pants too long.Well to DH a dollar is a big deal. I gave him a budget to spend, he wants to make it go as far as he can lol.
Starbucks is closed anyway :-(I'd imagine they might've been able to cancel some of the shipments they'd get closer to easter due to lower sales. Plus Target hasn't been buying as much so there's less left for clearance after the holidays, at least here. But all I want to do is wander Taget with my starbucks hot chocolate looking for clearance deals because then things will be back to normal. But I'm pretty sure that's way far off cause I don't know how I'd drink through a mask![]()
Well I’m perfectly capable of grocery shopping, it’s less risky than going to work every day. I opted for paying extra for Instacart today so I could be lazy. I think DH really wanted to get out.I completely understand. I am generally a very frugal person, and generally don’t like to pay for convenience.
