    Aldi is pretty good for certain things. I don’t care for their meat, and sometimes their produce is a little haggard, but things like oats, cooking oil, laundry detergent, etc are all pretty decent at Aldi. Plus they have jaffa cakes so I don’t need to get them on Amazon anymore! It saves me a good amount of money.

    I’m not nuts about Amazon as a company, but I can’t deny how useful the Subscribe & Save feature is. I subscribe to a lot of things that I would otherwise have to run separate errands for - e.g., protein powder, skincare products, tea.

    A pest control subscription has been great for me recently. Last year I moved out to a somewhat rural area, and the previous owners of this house had been ignoring some pest issues like mice in the basement and paper wasps outside. So we got a monthly subscription to a pest control service, and now anytime we have an issue, they come out and take care of it with no bill. It’s unlimited service, and has really been worth it!

    Pedicures! They’re pretty inexpensive for a 45-minute escape from life to pamper yourself, and they can last weeks (well my toenails grow pretty fast, but I can usually get 2 weeks out of a pedi).

    Travel-sized fragrances! Rather than buying a whole expensive bottle, you can get a variety of smaller bottles. They still last a long time, and now you have a bunch of scents to choose from. And perfume can really boost my mood :)
