I’ve been using a free plastic grocery bag forever, but lately I’ve had a few mishaps where my food spills or leaks out of its tupperware container and also seeps out of the bag.

I have some tupperware containers I use that are short and wide, and others that are tall, so I liked how the plastic grocery bag could fit any shape. But now I’m thinking I should get a more solid, sturdy, flat-bottomed bag so things don’t spill. And maybe a zipper to close it in case it does spill, to keep the liquid inside and not make a mess.

I'm not a coffee connoisseur, but I do drink a few cups every day, and even making it at home with grounds is expensive. I'd like to find a solid, inexpensive brand of ground coffee that I can make for myself and for guests that will be satisfying.

But hunting around for a good budget brand means a lot of trying out options, many of which are disappointing in various ways (too bitter, too weak, causes headaches or acid reflux). I'm looking for some reviews/recommendations based on the following options.

Walmart - Great Value Brand

Walmart - New England Coffee

Amazon Fresh

Aldi - Barrissimo

Trader Joe's

I finally bit the bullet and bought a $20 double edged safety razor to try out a few months ago. It's SO MUCH better than any cartridge type I've ever used! I'm getting much closer shaves and not tearing up my skin like I used to. They require a little more finesse to use properly, but I was able to pick it up pretty quickly.

Even changing blades every 4 shaves before any signs of dulling, blades will cost me under $15 per year not counting the handle. I went with Feather for the brand, but there are others.

Pretty much the title. Blackstrap molasses is pretty amazing stuff, a Tablespoon has way more minerals and electrolytes than any of the mixes on the market.

I did write a blog post on the idea, but rules say I can't post - so figured I'd just give you the basics and you can look up the nutrition numbers yourself. Just add a pinch of salt.
