If you tap on your own name/avatar it takes you to a screen with lots of options, this is at the bottom of a drop down menu. Profile is editable from there.

And you can post questions here, or anywhere else. I’m a mod and @anomalily is the chief in charge, either of us can be flagged and we will help if we can.
I think we used to have a forum feedback thread, but it got buried.
Edit: ACTUALLY we have a section for forum feedback and stuff. I forgot. https://forum.ohmydollar.com/c/site-feedback/3

Thanks @darlingpants, @Elle, @hipsail, and @katscratch for the replies…I’ve been using the for-oily-hair shampoo and conditioner (the other sample options were frizzy and dry which didn’t seem to fit) but will try leaving off the conditioner entirely and see if that helps. And if not, I’ll try another brand some other time

Thank you, everyone, for the pelvic floor PT advice! It’s helpful to know a bit more what to expect.

I think ethique stuff has just been okay for me! I LOVE this shampoo: https://www.etsy.com/listing/712204209/hydrating-solid-shampoo-zero-waste?ref=yr_purchases
I’ve switched back to liquid conditioner though after trying several conditioner bars and struggling with them. I switched to this zero-waste, Black-owned company for conditioner: https://asimpleplanet.com/product/clean-conditioner/ and have been really pleased. We also get their detangler for my kiddo with hugely curly hair and it’s delightful and I use it in my own hair too. They have shampoo too if you decide bars just aren’t for you.

Same here. I love the baby bar soap!
I’m sensitive to flowery scents but not oils, like lemon, eucalyptus, rosemary, sage, etc.
My only friend who visits is sensitive to eucalyptus, so I stopped making a wreath of the stuff for Christmas. Unfortunate for me, as my dad had trees in the yard, so I associate the scent with “home.” I use a little, but only on things that aren’t in public space.
Also, long ago, DH and I decided that one easy way to save $ was to stop buying “his” and “hers” products. We buy unscented, mostly, and share. We have to store fewer products, buy on sale, and don’t lean on each others’ sensitivities either. Works.

Two questions!
-
Finally putting together an emergency kit (bad girl scout! bad!). So far I have a first aid kit, a hand crank weather radio, an LED lantern with extra batteries. Using this list as a jumping off point. Anything you don’t see there that I should add? This is an emergency kit for our basement. Not interested in a bug out bag at this point…but maybe one day lol.

Does anyone have the Target credit card? Wondering if it is worth getting. We shop there about every 2-3 weeks.

You may want to put the documents into a fireproof safe.
Our bug out bag is on a shelf next to my bed and is intended in case there’s a housefire. Off the top of my head it has extra sandals, underwear, maybe some clothes if you tend to sleep naked, a bottle of water (for drinking or rinsing), a dog leash, glow sticks, cash, and the previous year’s homeowners insurance docs (nothing has changed, they send us a fresh copy every year so that’s what I do with last year’s copy).

It’s a 5% discount so depending on how much you spend and what other cards you have already it can be a nice card.

You can get a Target Debit card too. It just pulls from your checking account a day or two after you use it, but then you don’t have to worry about paying it off or having a new account on your credit score. Still 5% discount.

One of the nice things about the red card, which I believe is actually a debit card instead of a credit card at this point, is that it’s integrated into the target app so you can just scan the barcode on your phone and not have to get your wallet out at all. Plus the 5% back.

I keep saying I want a water purifier. Sugar (good for energy and topical for wounds - honey is best obviously)

Anyone have a deep freezer they like? I’ve been thinking about getting one for a while and with inflation concerns, it seems like a good idea.
Would prefer an upright over chest freezer for ease of use.

Both of mine are chest freezers. I prefer chest freezers despite their cons (defrosting every year or two and larger footprint) because freezer burn happens much, much slower in them. They’re also more energy efficient. With an upright, storage over a couple months you really want stuff to be vacuum sealed.

Agreed. I like uprights for pre cooked, I’ll eat them soon meals, otherwise (especially for meats) I prefer chest freezers.

But if it must be an upright, at least the last time I looked, Frigidaire/Whirlpool models are well-liked and reliable.

Yeah, I’ve pulled out 3+ year old roasts and hams that were just wrapped in freezer paper and they were in perfect condition.

Seconding both the chest freezer in the Frigidaire. I personally would go for a smaller chest freezer over a larger upright; you’d probably be able to store a little bit less, but not as much as you might think, and you would get to use more of what you stored.
