Reducing food consumption/spending - skipping meals
My biggest expensive is food. I noticed that it is the main culprit to my monthly budget. I currently save about 45-55% of my income a month but I want to take it further.
What I currently do for my dinners is divide a meal into two. So i eat half of a meal for dinner. Breakfast I eat normally like I have two eggs and some bread. Turkey as well if it wasn't cheap for the week. Lunch I get a salad or something from my grocery canteen. I do the same when I eat out on weekend, I just eat half then do a take away.
I was thinking I can save even more. I am sorta needing money fast right now. I was thinking of either skipping lunch or I could just eat two pieces of fruit. Or better, an egg and fruit. This would help me save in the long run.
Or I could save money by just skipping dinner altogether
Would like to hear thoughts on this. What do you all do regarding food budgets? Anyone here skip meals as well?

My last post blew up, so here are a few cheap, high-protein meal ideas + a dessert all under $3 each.
My last post got way more attention than I expected, and a bunch of people DM’d me for ideas. So here are a few more combinations I’ve been leaning on lately. They're pretty simple, filling, and about $2.50 or less per serving based on Walmart/Costco pricing.
I'm not good with recipes and usually cook by taste/as I go, but I can prob write something down next time.
PSA - I also buy ingredients and bulk and just calculate based on serving size. If you buy individual eggs, this is probably not gonna help you lol
High-Protein Breakfast Burrito (~35g protein, ~$1.90)
* Eggs
* Low-fat Greek yogurt
* Spinach
* Salsa
* Tortilla
Chicken Thigh Rice Bowl (~40–45g protein, ~$2.30)
* Boneless chicken thigh
* White rice
* Frozen corn + peas
* Garlic + soy sauce
* Optional chili oil
For flavori and protein on a budget, thighs are much better than breast imo. I usually go skin-on, then just make sure the skin gets a crispy sear.
Cottage Cheese Pasta Bowl (~30–35g protein, ~$1.60)
* Cottage cheese
* Pasta
* Garlic powder
* Black pepper
* Optional Parmesan
Cottage cheese is super protein-dense for the price and works surprisingly well with pasta. This ends up tasting richer than you’d expect for how cheap it is.
Black Bean Wrap (~30–32g protein, ~$1.50)
* Black beans
* Tortilla
* Lettuce
* Taco seasoning
* Hot sauce
Beans are one of the cheapest protein sources around. This one feels like a budget burrito and is easy to scale up or down depending on calories. If you have any left over breast or thighs, you can shred it up and throw it in here also.
High-Protein Dessert (~28–35g protein, ~$1.70)
* Low-fat Greek yogurt (Costco brand)
* Frozen berries (Costco brand again)
* Whey protein (I can cheap out here but end up going for ON)
* drizzle of honey
Hope this helps y'all!

EU users - What will be your strategy to minimize the impact of fixed fee per parcel?
At /r/Aliexpress
I normally order small cheap items from Ali. Until now, I used to place an order as soon as I could group 10$ worth of choice items with maximum coins and diamonds and coupons discounts. This resulted in several small 3-4 real euros orders but allowed me to take the most of my coins and coupons.However things are going to change completely with the introduction of the EU wide 3 euro fee per parcel next summer, and in some countries already next week with the provisional 2 euro fee per parcel. It won't be worth getting many small orders anymore, and I am thinking what will be the best strategy moving forward. This is what I have so far, please comment or share yours if you already thought about it.I will gather the items that I am interested in and place only large choice orders only during the big sales when discounts and coupons are best (march anniversary, summer, 11.11 and black Friday. Am I missing any?).Coins: makes no sense to accumulate too many coins anymore, as most of them got used in small orders with large discounts. The "95% off with coins order now" orders don't make sense anymore as those items are normally not worth the 3 euros fee and the hassle to go to pay. I have currently 11k coins that I don't think I will be able to use before they expire. I will only check in daily to have enough coins for the big sales, no more games for coins.Blue diamonds: no changes, these are still worth it. The difficulty of exchanging them is now not so relevant as I will be doing it like 4 times a year. I am assuming diamonds don't expire, but I don't know if they do.Coupons outside big sales: not worth anymore. Doesn't make sense to get a 1 euro coupon that forces you to make an order that is going to cost you 3 euros fee.Games:Only the ones that give good amount of diamonds, like gogomatch. Mergeboss, that I used mainly for coins will be abandoned.Priceland: maybe worth only if there is an interesting "hard" prize. All of the easy and medium prizes are not worth the 3 euro fee.Of course, all this doesn't apply if you order valuable items, that's a completely different story, but I never or very seldom do that from Ali.

What to do in this situation?
At /r/Aliexpress
Received a product that is completely different than the listing in the photos and videos. I feel I've been completely scammed.I Started a dispute, but I made the wrong decision by selecting "return and refund". Now facing the classic situation:, I have to pay the shipping charges and send the product back directly to the seller, even if the product was advertised as free return. I've had so many useless conversaron with Ali's support, supposedly they escalated the case but I always get the same response and no solution at all. Now someone from support is offering a 40% refund without return. The product is 120usd. The other option is to file a chargeback as the purchase was made with Visa. I'm not in the US but I understand Visa's rules are all the same anywhere in the world.Third option: some people say you can close the dispute and open another one with "refund without return", but it seems that you can open a second dispute only some times.

Reclaimed Crab Shell Broth Use Ideas?
Had crab tonight and saved all the shells. Boiled them and now I have some condensed broth. I’ll pick out the tiny bits of meat tomorrow. Same basic concept as saving chicken bones for soup.
So, anyone have ideas or recipes to share to get a second go off of this? Off hand, I’m thinking chowder, gumbo - what options besides soup? A casserole? A cold noodle salad of some sort?

Watch carrier recommendations for young kids
I have a grandfathered loyalty account with Verizon that apparently isn’t compatible with smart watches. In order to add a line for my son to have an Apple Watch, we have to switch to a new plan that cost $80 more a month.
Can anyone recommend a carrier that will allow a standalone account solely for a watch?
Or should I bite the bullet with changing our plans for the extra $80 because there’s some downside to not having it connect to my phone carrier?
He’s only 7 so I don’t want him to have a phone yet but want to be able to see his location & contact him when he’s playing with friends.

I made a mistake and gave a 1 star review by accident
At /r/Aliexpress
I want to delete/edit my review but cant figure out how to even talked to support and one said they'd make a ticket the other said it was impossible. Anyone else have an idea how to fix this? I thought I was scammed because the order auto completed way earlier than expected and said it was delivered 2 days after ordering (Impossible) but it actually arrived... I feel terrible about it.Edit: I reported my own review for being fake and provided proof of it arriving and they just auto closed it two minutes later...

FMF: Deals, Discussions, and Reviews
Chrome extension that shows the real total price before checkout
I just launched my first Chrome extension, True Total, and I’m mainly looking for testers and honest feedback.
It shows the real total price on shopping sites directly on the product page, before checkout (fees, shipping, etc.). I built it because I was tired of clicking through checkout just to see what I’d actually pay. Right now, it only works on Shopify-based websites.
This is very much a learning project, so I’d love feedback on
* UX
* Stores where it breaks or misreads prices
* Cases I should account for
* Whether this solves a real problem at all
If you’re open to testing it, here's the link
Appreciate any feedback using this form: blunt responses welcome!
