Yes! The fees seem strange to some, but the cost helps pay for the vet fees for that pet AND feeding/care for the hundreds of others.

I asked my vet about pet insurance. He said most things that cost big $ are not covered. Better to put $ aside monthly and save up for sick pets. Senior animals can be expensive! I'm on benefits but saved up cash in my sock drawer for years that now pays for Rxs for my old boy with Kidney Disease. Worth every penny!

Plus a few hundred/year for food and medical care, and possibly insurance.

I got my two cats from the street, one as a kitten (now 11), I just love her, she is the best, and worth all the litter, food and vet money. The other was very sick adult stray I picked up 3 weeks ago. and somehow managed to spoil rotten. She is very cute but how the hell did I manage to create a little super-spoiled monster in few weeks?

Every vet bill & pet food cost!

Or just befriend someone who looks after ferals! Free puppies and kittens!

All mine just SHOWED up!!

Got my kitty for $80 at a local rescue. She's looking at me right now, wanting to play. We shall commence directly.

All the dogs I ever had and have were adopted from shelters, some old, some with heavy handicaps, some very ugly. All of them with great personalities! I'd never get one from a breeder or puppy mill.

AWW 😻😻💖💖

Rescued is my favorite breed! 🐱🐶❤

I had a beautiful huskyxmastiff mix, literally super chicken in a dog suit. Nearly 100 pounds. Rescued off the streets after New Years, i got him in a lottery. 3 others wanted him but two backed out snd the third did not respond. He was a beautiful mess. Took two very bubbly baths t get him smelling decent. He lasted about 13 years. Blew out both of his knees, I spent $8k on vet bills in three years. I was living on disability, about $700 and change a month. Took a loan to pay it off. Ate lots of Top Ramen. Never regretted a second, would do it again if I had to but since becoming crippled by arrogant orthopedic surgeons, I must wait until I can walk to ever consider getting another. BONUS - my dogs best friend, a chihuahua is still living and his owner bitches at me because my dog taught her dog some bad behavior. It makes us both smile

Pandemic adoption, they even waived the fee! Then there was the “kennel cough” that turned out to be a $1700 throat obstruction, and the $1100 dental cleaning. But hey, ‘free’ cat! 😅

I got a free cat at the humane society, (I believe they had too many.) He is the sweetest best cat ever. I got one 50% off for black Friday a few years ago. He is horrible, lol. He is essentially a pet for free cat. He doesn't let us touch him and he likes to pee randomly (nothing physically wrong)

Never go cheap on things that keep you off the ground: shoes, bedding, tires

Yes, that's tough. They say you should ditch your bra after several months but dude, do you know how difficult is to find good bra? I am not ditching that until it falls apart!

Yep yep yep. Be sure to wash and dry it right after you’re done using it—it helps keep the blade nice and sharp!

I've got my great grandmother's Griswold enameled cast iron set. It's over 100 years old, cooks the best Romanian food ever...they immigrated to Erie PA, and later to Cleveland.

Make it the permanent kind if you’re *absolutely certain* you won’t change your mind. My OB/GYN finally relented after hearing me swear I didn’t want children for the first 20 years I was her patient.

I raise with three pairs mentioned, another one for the kitchen and one for haircut.

Can save your ass.

Well said!

Matching good pair of shoes.

Good to see what you will never use again.

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes!

Bakeries don't exist around here. Unless it is a cake/cupcake bakery.

Very import for kids to know tool names and how to use them.

Very useful-also good for polishing stainless steel appliances.

I like those for in the car so my kids can charge their devices if we are on long trips. Otherwise, a short one works just as well and charging doesn't take ages, it won't hurt to not have your phone in your hand 24/7.

I love it when something is really dirty and then you run the vacuum over it and there’s a straight line of clean in the middle of the dirty

They’re ADORABLE!

One of the best advice given by my dentist - buy baby brush for your teeth. They are soft and will go easy on your teeth. Since they are tiny, they can go to every corner.

Vasectomies for those of you who are absolutely certain!

Yes, for sure. I was lucky my old Oakley frames were still good 9 years after buying regular shades, better than any of the crap they sold when I got my prescription lenses. I feel naked without them outside!

Good coffee is a blessing.

And don't count on a surge-protecting power strip to protect your devices from surges if its gotten quite old. They depend on metal oxide varistors to short spikes to ground, and the more spikes they experience the more they degrade until they don't function anymore. The strip itself will still do its primary job fine though.

my granny - age 95 - still knits socks daily. I've got at least 20 pairs. my BF tried to throw away some of his old ones with holes, but I was like: don't you dare! I'll repair them. you'll never know how long granny is able to knit. I'll cherish these socks for a long time

Just don’t ever change size yourself!

Several good pairs of jeans is even better!

Your eyes change over time—I’m much less nearsighted than I was when I was younger.

Wait till it hits a runny pile of pet poo-delightful.

For the life of me I can't figure why this isn't standard equipment on every vehicle, especially pickups.
