I get that food and grocery costs have been out of control, but it's actually absurd at Fry's now. Fry's is close to where I live, so it's always been my "default" grocery store. I haven't run reports on whether this is isolated to Fry's or not, but goodness, it's getting dethroned easily by other places (Aldi's, WinCo, Costco etc.) for us.

Again, I get that prices have gone up, but I suspect Fry's increase is more than others that I've checked. If Fry's is this absurd, I don't even want to know what's going at with Safeway lol. Honestly, maybe the gap between Safeway and Fry's is closed now, I'll have to check.

My dad's collection so far from this year, he doesn't even play golf, just likes to collect them as he walks by.

Phad Thai is my go to but I want to branch out a bit, try some great restaurants and I need some tips on things to order and why? Thanks in advance 🙏🏽

We're a mess, but we beat a division rival in their stadium using only field goals.

Have a good week everyone.

Took some pictures of the Phoenix FD training exercise at the Coronado Hotel this morning, it's getting torn down tomorrow.

Sounds like they're either parked or they aren't going far- have been hearing it in the distance for like half an hour.

Beautiful vidid rainbow right as a storm was coming in.

I had a teacher in the 90's who I really adored and 30 years later I'm still thinking about her. She was my teacher at either Encanto or Clarendon Elementary (both Osborne schools). She had hair down the length of her back and always wore a headband. I'm pretty certain of the schools because I'm sure we were living at Park Lee at that time and sometimes we would run into her in the neighborhood. I understand the possibility that she may have passed by now, but it's also possible that she's in her 70's or 80's and still living. I'm really hoping I can find her and either tell her or her family how much she meant to me. I am planning to call the district office tomorrow to see if they maintain these old records. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Looking for something to do on Halloween. I normally go to a friend's party but it sounds like they're unable to host one this year, and my apartment is too small for me to host. I'm 23, I don't drink or smoke, but I'm fine being around it as long as it's not the entire point of the event (like a bar crawl or something). My costume is a little... Mature, though. I know there's a few different farms doing things but I don't think I want to wear something suggestive and revealing around a family friendly environment.

Preferably in the east valley since that's where I live and preferably something I can access via public transport, not too comfortable driving around Phoenix on a big drinking night.

I daily drive camelback and always smiled when passing the house with the golf cart on top of the palm. Looked forward to the Halloween decorations but sadly seems the cart is gone? A very niche relic I always enjoyed on my drive

I started a new job at a recreational facility, and it seemed like everything was going well, I just was doing desk and janitor duties. Anyways, one week I didn’t get hours, and asked my manager for some. He said he’s been so busy he didn’t see that I wasn’t on the schedule. well next week comes and I’m not on the schedule. I message again asking to be put on the schedule, to no response. I message again, nothing. I go in person, my manager says he got a new phone and his messages aren’t coming in, but asks me to send my preferred schedule via email. I do so, and he replies he got it. Next week I am not on the schedule. I message asking for more hours. Next week, not on the schedule, and I look at the work group chat and I’ve been removed from it by my manager.

i messaged him asking what I did, but to no surprise, no response. can people fire you by ghosting? Surely they have to send a written notice in AZ?

edit: I looked on Facebook and found 2 posts from my manager this month in local groups, saying that they are looking for someone to hire for a Front Desk position (the job I had). So that’s cool.

My cousin and I are looking for a spot to watch el clásico, Real Madrid vs Barcelona next Sunday. He’s a Real Madrid fan and I’m a Barcelona fan. Does anyone have any suggestions on where we can go watch it?

Doing yard work before the rain, looked up to a full rainbow.

Does any one know of great LTAC facilities in the valley? Please provide any feedback or pointers

It has been over a month and parents still have not been given any information about the gun on campus 9-11-26 with a student that had a hit list. The admins never even called the police, never called a lockdown and didn't notify parents until two days later-even hosting a football game that night when the campus hadn't been cleared by police. The administrators that failed our kids have had no disciplinary consequences and the student withdrew to avoid consequences. This district is in ruins. When does the state takeover to protect the students?

Years ago with Cox, I qualified for the connect2compete program, So internet has been $10 a month for me for at least a decade, and was lucky enough that they never asked for any follow-up documentation to prove that I still qualify, so I've been staying off of Cox's radar as best I can

Now that spectrum has taken over, the first bill under spectrum went through last week, and I have never experienced my Internet being so slow... I thought there was something wrong with my computer. Ran all the updates, even got with my work's IT department, and it is definitely internet speed

Anyway, looking to switch ISP's. Going to lose my smoking deal, but this is affecting my productivity at work. Any recommendations? Might just do starlink so that way I can be portable

Hi guys, I’m wondering what are great areas for an adult to spend Halloween with friends this year? Historically, we’d like to go bar-hopping along Mill Ave, but sadly it really seems like Mill has fallen off in recent history as a fun space for adult shenanigans (correct me if I’m wrong, I wanna be wrong!)

So I’d like to know if there are any other Mill analogues that would give us the same experience we had in DT Tempe for years? Grand Ave and Roosevelt come to mind, but I’ve never actually been out there on Halloween. Thanks 🙏

Edit: My friends and I are all 28, if that narrows down the vibe we’re looking for.

I live a bit outside of Phoenix, but I’ve been trying to build up a bit more of a gay community. I would like to find a regular basketball group, but I’m having trouble finding some sort of gay league. Does anyone by any chance know of one or have any advice?

It seems like Cleank freak’s scanners don’t like EVs.
I’ve had my barcode sticker replaced 3 times and it didn’t get recognized once. They eventually gave me the sticker taped to a gift card that I now wave outside my window so it gets recognized.

According to one of their attendance, this is a common issue with EVs. Apparently the car electronics interfere with their RFID signal.

Anyone else had this issue with their Ev?

Has anyone seen these tortilla chips at any Food City (or similar ones at another store) in the valley lately? Obsessed with them but it seems like in the last year or so I can only find the thicker, darker ones. Have been to 3 different locations (El Mirage, north phx, and McDowell/24th St) in the last few months with no luck. Used to get them from the McDowell location all the time… hoping they are out there somewhere!

New business I’m assuming, but does anyone know which one?

I have a 2023 id4 and the stock sound system is garbage compared to my Tesla.

Is there a shop that can upgrade the speakers and add a subwoofer?

Thanks
