It’s interesting to me how financial experts, mothers-in-law, and total strangers on a Facebook page all have distinct opinions on how much you should spend on groceries. The thing is, while food costs certainly shouldn’t be complex, they can vary from person to person and household to household — even region to region.

The appliances look like they’re straight out of Don Draper’s house. And if you have big plans to actually, you know, use them, that can be kind of a deal-breaker.
The good news is that just because those appliances are currently there, it doesn’t mean they have to stay there! Whether you’re just about to move in or you’ve been in the apartment for years, you have some sway to get your landlord to splurge on something a bit more current.

If you’ve been on the fence about getting a new vacuum cleaner, it’s time to throw caution to the wind and grab this incredible lightning deal on Amazon.
For today only, you can get a refurbished Dyson vacuum cleaner for 50 percent off. Usually it retails for $400, but right now it’s $200. That’s a big deal.

Going out for coffee saves neither time nor money. It is, by most measures, a thing that is not worth it. And not by a little bit! It is both faster and cheaper to make coffee in the comfort of my apartment or, faster and cheaper yet, to drink the coffee at my office.
