Hey Ladies and Gents, over the past year what are some items you have noticed that have gotten smaller in quantity and more expensive in price? I think we should start a post to document this and actively avoid those companies and products? What are some items you've noticed? Also feel free to recommend another reddit community where this post may be more suitable or h may have a similar questions/replies?

I planned to make lasagne for dinner tonight , one ingredient was Passata. I bought a 700g jar from Aldi and weighed the 500g that I needed. I was surprised at how little was left in the jar soI weighed the residue and found 130g giving 630 g from the 700g jar. Makes a mockery of “price per kg” etc on supermarket shelves.

Currently on Google Fi, I currently am on the unlimited plan paying $50 for unlimited data for one line. Are there any other providers that y'all recommend that are cheaper than $50 for unlimited data?

I am looking for a new Credit Card that offers the best Qantas points and also the best Flybys points ?

Hello! I recently started looking for a new vendor for contact lenses since Lens has randomly added like $200+ in taxes and 'fees' since I last used them in 2019. I found Contact Lenses King and it has the lowest yearly supply price of around $275 after taxes (8 boxes, 4 for each eye).

How legitimate is this website? Has anyone noticed any catches like sooner expiration dates or poor quality of lenses? I'm not sure how they are $100 cheaper than the other options.

Those who use fancy feast, owned by purina, they have a rewards system. I was also told that if you message them, they send out coupons as well! Just a FYI

I live in KY and need some help! Are there any apps that you recommend to help cash back and or can get coupons by emailing them and or free stuff I could get into? Or a rewards program? I also am a fast typer and would like to get certified in that as well as CPR. Thanks

I bought custom night guards before but the company did not send any replacement for the night guards they sent that do not.

TLDR: I bought a $55 set of soft new towels for $17!!

I went to Kohl’s yesterday and they had standard/queen pillows “on sale” for $5.

I used to work at a similar store so I know a deal when I see it. I bought six.

Then in the towel department I was looking for a full set: two washcloths, two hand towels and two bath towels. Maybe white in color. The six pack was on sale for $55. (There’s always a sale at these stores.) I grabbed two towels only, to keep my costs down. $30.

I went to look for utensils, but they were too pricey: $45 and up for a boxed set.

Just behind the utensils was the department clearance section. There I found an ivory full set of those six pieces of towel bundle for $16.99 + tax and I had a 30% coupon. I put back my two $15.00 towels and grabbed the clearance ones (online return.)

So very ecstatic over my towel and pillow purchase!!! 💫💫💕

Does anyone have a recommendation for a rust proof soap dispenser replacement pump, preferably chrome or brushed nickel? I looked on Amazon but even the reviews for the stainless steel pumps said that they rust.

So,

our car started malfunctioning. And when we took it to the licensed repair shop they've told us that the repair would cost 8400 Euro due to the automatic transmission being faulty and they need to replace the whole deal not just a single part but, hey.
We got offered to sell our car for about 4000 euro and buy Dacia Sandero 2021. ,manual transmission, gasoline and gas hybrid. Dacia Sandero costs around 13 500Euro.

As we don't know a lot about cars, is the Dacia Sandero in question a good car to opt for?

One of the less known facts about online shopping is that there are huge price differences for the exact same product. Prices change up to 4–5 times a day for some merchants like Amazon. Moreover, these changes are significant. I sometimes stumble over fluctuations of up to 40% day-over-day. Additionally, the differences between different vendors are sometimes unbelievable. The maximum I saved was 74% for the exact same product.

I always do the following steps (that also force myself to not do any impulsive purchases).

1. Track the prices of the product that I want to buy over several days. That allows me to get a feeling for how much the prices are changing for a specific vendor.
2. Check for promo codes on different vendors and different sources. These can be found at influencers or specific price tools.
3. Compare the prices between different vendors. The biggest saving potential is by checking prices between vendors. The vendors you see first are usually the ones that can afford the expensive ads on Google and similar platforms. Therefore, looking for other vendors can guarantee you huge savings (+70% if you know where to look for). There are some excellent tools for that. But be aware that most tools are ads driven as well and only show products offered by their partner shops. A tool I particularly like is https://josepha.io/en. It is particularly nice that you don’t need to do the comparisons yourself. Just one click and you get the best price for the exact same product.

I’m looking to buy black poster frames with plexiglass for three 16x24in posters. I’ve checked on Michaels, Target, and Amazon but the prices are pretty high with the reviews being very mixed. I’m trying to spend $15 or less per frame. Even the reviews for $25 frames are mixed, some saying it’s a cheap piece of garbage while others are satisfied. Any recommendations?

Hey everyone, my laptop is a dinosaur and I almost never use it. I use my phone for almost all of my computer needs. But the one place that my phone is lacking is that I can't run Office with it. So I want to buy a laptop purely for Office. Any recommendations?

Essentially, I want lifetime access, not some renewable subscription. Also, I'm sure there is a mobile version of office, but I'd want the desktop version. Maybe bonus points if I could license the app on my phone? Is that a thing?

I often send birthday gifts to my young adult nieces who live on the other side of the country. Besides Amazon, or gift cards, do you know of anywhere that ships with relatively low shipping costs? I tend to send food items as gifts. TIA.

Where is the best place to find a refurbished PC for work at home purposes? I’ve only really heard of Tiger Direct but never purchased from them. Ideally something capable of running Windows 10 or higher, Intel 7/AMD Zen 1 or higher processor, large RAM memory and multiple HDMI ports for dual monitors.

I’m just looking for any suggestions on a good rain jacket for a solid price. wear 2 XL men’s jackets.

I have had my sonicare since like.... 2012 or so. actually it still works. I just need to get replacements for my teens. Not sure how well the pressure sensing works so if it doesn't work well I could just get a cheaper version. ALSO though, I would want to use the like walmart replacement heads because 10 per replacement is too much.

I recently realized I missed the return-by date for some online purchases by a couple of days.

I'm wondering if anyone has experience with shipping a return package after the specified return period. Will the retailer still accept it?

Appreciate any advice or insights you can share!

Thanks in advance! 📦🤔

Is there a generic charger that will work for the DXR-8 baby monitor for the handheld monitor (not camera). My charger broke and won’t charge, thx!

Can anyone recommend a cheaper version of this? I like this because it has that convenient plug. What I have seen are stovetop versions which I don't like.

Hello I recently broke my magnetic dolphin bottle opener that was from Catalina Island and I was wondering if there was someplace online I could buy it from. I tried on ebay but could not find anything. Please help, I have attached a photo of how it looks like.

I am shopping for a washer. At the store, the person showing was telling me that washer and dryer must be bought together for optimal performance. Now it might make sense but sounds like I am paying for something I don't need. How much truth there is to this claim? Is this a good idea?

Its pretty much the start of the holiday shopping season, so DON'T FORGET ABOUT CASH BACK SITES.

The business model on these is a little bit old, but it works. What you do is open an account with a cash back site (Rakuten, swagbucks, etc.). Then you shop through the site and buy something from a retailer. The retailer sends the site a commission and the site splits the commission with you.

The model works well, especially if you do the following:

1. Use cashback sites consistently
2. Pair them with a cash back credit card
3. Use coupons and discount codes.

Here are a couple of lesser known, but good ones.

• [www.dollardig.com] (https://www.dollardig.com)
• [www.rebatefanatic.com] (https://www.rebatefanatic.com)
• [www.befrugal.com] (https://www.befrugal.com)

I've used all three and recommend them.

Whatever you do, don't leave cash on the table. Plus, you can always invest any savings you realize in the S & P or use it to pay down debt.

Costco misses the basics. Other stores only sell in small bags
