An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I'm to that age where I take great joy in comparative shopping. I'm sure I could have saved a few more bucks if I had shopped around a bit more, but this wasn't bad.
Total was $66.64.
Some highlights I think are great value
$1.99/lb chicken breast $0.33 per avocado $2.99 per Red Baron pizza $0.79 per can of tuna
TBH, olive oil is my food lube of choice, but there are quite a few applications where Imperial can get me 80% of the way to butter and it's only a minor ingredient. No doubt butter is better and I stock that too, but for $1.24 for 4 sticks, you can't go wrong IMO.
Personally I stir fry a lot so olive oil has too low of a smoke point for me. I have to stick to avocado, peanut, sunflower oil or vegetable oil. I think some olive oils can have higher smoke points but it's annoying to do trial and error instead of sticking with what works.
