I recently had a very large tree collapse in my back yard. Rather than paying the arborist several hundred dollars for stump removal, I turned it into what is now a very fertile vegetable garden.2yr ⋅ RelayFX ⋅ r/Frugal
Today on why I like my bread machine, I made 6 hoagie rolls for $0.09 each instead of buying them at the bakery for $1-3 each! (Yes, I should have made them longer and less potato like, but this was the first attempt).3yr ⋅ RelayFX ⋅ r/Frugal
The stealership wanted $35 to clean excessive corrosion off my car battery and $55 to replace the corroded positive terminal. I fixed the problem for $1.99 in pads and about 30 labor from wire brushing. Didn’t even need to replace the terminal (though I had to pry it open with a screwdriver).2yr ⋅ RelayFX ⋅ r/Frugal
On today’s episode of yummy things I make with help of my bread machine, I put my skills honed by working at Domino’s for a year to the test by making a homemade 16” pizza for approximately $4.25 rather than going out to a restaurant and paying $14-20 for one! Sure beats frozen pizza too!3yr ⋅ RelayFX ⋅ r/Frugal
In my ongoing mission to use my bread machine to save money on buying bread by making it myself, I finally made a batch of hoagie rolls where (some) actually resemble hoagie rolls! Instead of paying $1 each for a real roll that doesn’t use lots of additives, I make a batch of 6 for $0.55!2yr ⋅ RelayFX ⋅ r/Frugal
I was playing with bread again today. I finally figured out how to make a decent crust that’s not totally shit, I just had a little heat distribution issue. Regardless, these beautiful hoagies (that finally have a crispy crust) only cost me $0.10 each rather than as much as $1 per roll!2yr ⋅ RelayFX ⋅ r/Frugal
This soda cost me more than these turnip greens and kale. Eating healthy isn’t (always) expensive. People just don’t like to eat their green vegetables. [Small Town Suburban NC]1yr ⋅ RelayFX ⋅ r/Frugal
Should I be concerned about this coolant residue on the reservoir cap of my 2018 Toyota Tacoma or is the dealership just messy with their complimentary fluid fills? Coolant level is near the low line after sitting overnight.3yr ⋅ RelayFX ⋅ r/MechanicAdvice
I made the poor decision to buy a Maytag Bravo 2 years ago. The control board often fails. Rather than giving Maytag $540 just to buy the part for a $560 washing machine (plus the cost of having somebody install it), I spent $140 on the part brand new from eBay and spent 30 minutes installing it.1yr ⋅ RelayFX ⋅ r/Frugal

Update: I returned to the river walk today to investigate the source of the leak more. The town’s water department is on site at the distribution “hub” adjacent to the football field. They’re visibly doing some sort of maintenance or repair work.2mo ⋅ RelayFX ⋅ r/asheville

I really should start a bakery once I get consistently good at this. Today I made what I’m loving calling my “Big Chungus” loaf. An artisan loaf about half this size would run about $5-7 in my area. This absolute whopper of a bread loaf only cost me $0.60 and about 8 minutes of effort (I timed it).2yr ⋅ RelayFX ⋅ r/Frugal

I’m about to finish my four-year degree. While I’m already self-employed and in a pretty good place, these are the sorts of jobs that are being offered to upcoming graduates in the Asheville area.

To have the average priced home’s mortgage payment equal 40% of your income in Buncombe County (with a 20% down payment), you now need to make $105,000 per year. With a 3.5% down payment on FHA, you *only* need to make $135,000 per year for a 40% DTI. $180,000 per year for 30% on FHA.1yr ⋅ RelayFX ⋅ r/asheville
