Ikea seems to be the cheapest consumer-oriented retailer I've found for CR2032's. Batteries on Amazon are risky, with a couple exceptions. It appears to be one of the worst categories for "Fulfilled by Amazon" abuse by unscrupulous third party sellers, and Amazon appears to have done little to comb...

I bought mine on Amazon.com and the batteries were made by Panasonic.

Are they any good? Fakespot only gave them a C

I was going to buy them on Amazon, but fakespot gave several vendors a D and even one an F. There's Engergizer branded 2032 batteries but the packaging doesn't look right. I ended up buying them on Sams Club.

Is this even enough to worry about? I'd pass on it and think of easier ways to save some $$...How about calling up your cable provider and asking for a better rate.

How much water/money will it save you in the long run? Assuming a half-hour shower, you’d save 15 gallons of water (0.5 gpm x 30 minutes). 15 gallons/shower x 365 days = 5,475 gallons saved over the course of a year if you take a 1/2 hour shower every single day. However, most utilities bill per hu...

The best of both worlds is a track day car where you can utilize all of the performance. Or rent a supercar at a track day and use up someone else's depreciation. You can drive 2-3 supercars in the same day for $500.

I'm going to do that that a friend of mine in his birthday. Sounds like fun.

I rented a car a while ago, they gave me a Camaro, I could barely fit in the damn thing and the view was terrible, I exchanged it for a sedan.

It’s well known that you don’t save money at Costco. It’s just convenience for high end items. I buy meat, berries, milk,eggs, toilet paper, paper towel regularly. I stay away from clothes.

I have ready about need for draining the water heater yearly and we have not done it since we moved in. Really? I have never drained mine. I guess if your worried about the sentiment that could build up, a simple flushing couldn't hurt, but annually? Doubt it. I never do it either not worth it.

Here's are things you really need to know. If you can comfortably put down 20%, you're in good shape. And look at the house at least three times on different days.

Last, real estate agents are useless.

the other issue is people usually flat out lie when discussing their buy/sell points for losses if they admit it at all. i contribute it to being difficult owning up to it, to admit losses and making the wrong decision.

buying the dip works until it doesn't. the other problem is that is usually when the markets have already turned into bear markets and then you realize you've been investing in bear market counter trend rallies. then what do you do??? it's difficult and upsetting when you can't predict the future.
