The Keurig knock off has a filter for regular ground coffee. I’ve just gotten lazy. I literally only have 6 months of K-cups only bc I have given so many away. That said, my favorite dumpster for coffee has recently put up no trespassing signs so I am avoiding it. The signs aren’t well attached and I’m hoping they fall down in a rainstorm and they forget to put them back up.
An annoying thing about dumpster diving is that some of the people doing it are functioning at a pretty low level and leave big messes. I understand why a store would become frustrated by that. I leave those areas cleaner than when I found it, but that’s not everyone. Plus even just a raccoon can make a serious mess.
I think Econ has the same brand as mine (WalkingPad) but a different model…I have the P1, but I think it’s discontinued. I went with the one that had the longest deck, which I definitely recommend because the decks on walking pads are all quite a bit shorter than a standard treadmill, and if they are too short it will mess with your stride.
Yeah I have the walking pad brand C2 model. I have not had any problems with the deck being too short for my stride. I’m 5ft 6.5in. I got that model because I needed the front to be short enough to fit under my desk, which only had a 5in clearance. I love it!
Did you consider any cheaper pads, like the GoPlus 2 in 1?
I’ve been texting Econ about it and it sounds like she reasonably needed one for a lot of use, but I don’t think I’d be as hard on mine. My use case would be 30ish mins here and there, not the work day. I can’t decide if the extra sturdiness is worth a few hundred dollars!
I did! I have a coworker who has one of those GoPlus ones, and it lasted about 1.5 yrs for her, walking like 20,000 steps a day, every single day. So I think your use case would be perfect for that option! I ended up deciding against it because the deck was too short (I’m 5’10" and have a super long stride) and I like the foldable option of the WalkingPad brand
I’m currently walking laps around the house at night for about a half hour - does a half hour of walking warrant the pricier walking pad? Also I have the space that I don’t need it to fold. But also - that is a pretty sweet feature.
I know there are some Hoka fans on the forums. They are clearancing out their old model Bondi for $115 right now, which is a pretty great deal considering they almost never go on sale. Just wanted to give a heads up!
Trying to decide if I should get another blanket/coverlet for the guest bed to swap it out when the cat pukes (sadly often). I’m kind of specific on appearance/texture because it’s 50% of the view in my office, and we nap on it.
Alternatively could use ratty old blanket as a thickening/protective layer under the one I have (and like). And risk either the fleece, muslin, or sheets during laundering.
Long-term alternative could be to thrift (and then wash on hot)? I want something thin enough to launder easily, not comforter or quilt. But maybe thick enough to protect sheets… And again, very particular on Looks. (Beige/earth/water/plants palette)
They are very nice! Quite light weight, which is what I wanted. The pockets have a really wide opening that I was worried about, but they are quite deep even in the women’s, so my phone hasn’t fallen out of my pocket yet.
Duvet cover: absolutely IKEA. For kids and adults. But especially kids. Get 3 sets for stomach bugs, fevers, and accidents.
Inserts, we use all sorts with our IKEA duvet covers, from TJMaxx or Target polyester comforters to fleece blankets to silk comforters (spouse got Vesta brand but there are other choices. It’s a splurge but very cozy and some are washable). I found IKEA down to be very crinkly and loud, but haven’t tried their poly fill, and overall YMMV? People have different preferences for bedding.
I have a spare insert! But the children’s bedding section at my IKEA is being renovated or something? They didn’t have any kid’s duvet covers when I was there
Oh that’s so annoying! My nibbling has the cutest comforter cover from Ikea! Order online? Alternately, it looks like Target has some cute kids options?
i’ve been considering a new duvet but my husband is a little allergic to down, and i don’t really like the down alternatives because they make me feel hot.
does anyone have experience with silk-filled or wool duvet inserts? i’m contemplating one of these:
