    That's a pain in the ass. After buying the seeds, fertilizer, and paying for the water you have to give them, your time caring for the plants, etc.. You would spend less buying them at a farmers market or frozen in grocery store. Also if you grow your own you have to wash them, peel them, and cut them yourself. Id rather save all the money and headaches and buy frozen steamer bags in a grocery store. They are often 3 bags for 5 bucks, and you get 12 ounces or more per bag

    Instead of trying Soft Soap, Suave, or Dial, try using some body washes that actually cost more than 1 dollar per bottle. There are a lot of good ones that shouldn't mess with your skin, like Neutrogena, Aveeno (The one I use since I have horribly dry skin), Molton Brown, or if you're a female, Bath and Body works

    Probably a cheap Chinese knockoff brand on Amazon. That's the biggest problem with Millennials. You're perfectly OK with mediocrity and don't think about future costs. You could've bought genuine OEM door handles for a little more, but you chose to buy the el cheapo chincy ones which likely look cheap too. They will break much sooner and you will buy 4 more in a year or so. Over time Youll likely buy 10 or 20 sets of door handles which will cost way more than 1 good set to begin with

    Oh it's -18C again, and that's the warmest it's been for a couple weeks.

    /checks pots on deck.

    Oh, they're covered in snow. The green onions usually come back in the spring...

    /thinks

    Huh, I wonder if I could grow and freeze veg at the same time? No, no belfpala, you're being dumb again.

    ...but really, for someone like me who has very little growing season and very little space in which to grow, those steamer packs are quite nice. I do keep a few planters of a couple tomato varieties, green onion as mentioned, and I grow some herbs. That's all I have space for. The tomatoes and onion I use right away. The herbs I either use or dry.

    Let's all ride the Gish gallop.

    Na, not from China at all, just a different US Vendor. Also literally the same exact handle, from the same model car, just priced differently. It's not a bad thing to shop around.

    SoftSoap isn't $1 per bottle. They're all drug store brands (even the ones you quoted Aveeno etc). They're more $4 ish per bottle... It's not Zest xd

    But yeh literally going to get better body wash, just like my hair care products (I use Waterman's - about $15 for 8oz each). Can't stand sulfates, parabens, dyes etc in my hair, it weighs it down and makes it brittle.
