Haha I'm a shipper (recently returned to driver since we're mega short-staffed) so I'm constantly lifting shit all day. It was better when I drove the warehouse route, but I seem to break even (also it gets really old after a while. Only so many times you can have mcd's in a week without wanting to hurl lol)

you on a delivery after stopping by mcd's.

Was talking to my GF about getting another AC unit this year and came across this at Costco. Not bad for 14K BTU and can't beat the return policy. Ends today though.

Not a bad AC but as an owner of the older version of this, it's loud as fuck (as is the case with most portable AC units). I had to buy a portable around 2010-ish as my building banned window units, so I took my Danby window unit back to Costco (which I bought in 2004, god I love Costco) and exchanged it for the Danby Premiere 14,000 BTU portable AC.

I was honestly considering getting that Forest Air portable mini split to replace mine as a mini split is way more efficient and way quieter (since the compressor is outside), but $800 is on the steep side.

In high school (98 or 99) they used to have hamburgers for $22 and cheeseburgers for $33 with no limit and not just a one day special. Go in with a twoonie and walk out with 8 hamburgers. :fuckyea:

We've had this discussion on RS a few times. It's not the same. Fountain drinks are way better than bottled or canned stuff.

It's like canned ravioli vs freshly made ones. Maybe not as dramatic, but you get the idea.


If you are a ketchup connoisseur, it's like ones made with high fructose corn syrup vs ones made from cane sugar.


BTW, I get two six packs of 700 mL pop for 5 bucks from Shoppers Drug Mart. Each bottle is is twice that of a can. Anyway.................

Oh, best deal is when I use those coupons from the survey. Buy any sandwich and get medium fries and medium drink for free. I use my PNE refillable cup, which is slightly larger than a large size McD drink. They don't even ask. What's even better is when I go up to the kiosk and pay via gift card or credit card and just go right to the fountain machine. None of this waiting BS. Is this the Frugal Asian thread? Right.

McDonald's Canada - First-ever McDonald?s® in Canada celebrates re-opening with original Golden Arches? (http://news.mcdonalds.ca/en-CA/manual-releases/First-ever-McDonald-s-in-Canada-celebrates-re-open)

67 cent hamburgers again only at one location

RICHMOND, June 21, 2017 - This year marks McDonald’s Canada’s 50th anniversary and to commemorate the milestone, the restaurant chain will be re-opening the doors to its first-ever Canadian location in Richmond, BC on Friday, June 23rd.

For the opening weekend, the restaurant is celebrating loudly and proudly with some nostalgic elements, including original uniforms, a vintage car, classic images over the past 50 years and a throwback to 1967 with a special one-day $0.67 hamburger special.

“Returning the iconic Golden Arches to their original home is a very special moment, and one that we are happy to share with the community, residents and long-time guests,” said Joe Guzzo, McDonald’s Richmond Franchisee. “I am thrilled to build on the rich history that this location has by modernizing the restaurant and the experience for all our guests. We look forward to welcoming the City of Richmond and all community members back to the restaurant to check out our new look while enjoying some fun little nuggets from our past.”

Of course, the celebration would not be complete without a special guest appearance by the chain’s very own Ronald McDonald®, who will be delighting guests on opening day. Throughout the festivities the restaurant will also be giving away a variety of prizes to restaurant and drive thru guests.

Community members and guests are invited to join in the fun by visiting the newly renovated restaurant on No.3 road. It will feature innovative elements including self-order kiosks, McCafé® Bakery and a modern look and feel – with wood and stone finishes. In addition, guests will see the original Golden Arches back in their place, as well as a commemorative plaque and a piece of brick from the original building.

“This restaurant is a tremendous source of pride for our McFamily,” said Shelly Hansen, Regional Vice President, Western Canada, McDonald’s Canada. “Fifty years ago, we were thrilled to start our McDonald’s Canada journey, right here in BC. Today, we feel very happy and fortunate to celebrate this significant milestone with the community that has supported us for so many years.”

Fun Facts
June 1, 1967 First McDonald’s restaurant in Canada opens in Richmond, BC
Currently, there are 197 McDonald’s restaurants in British Columbia
Local franchisee Joe Guzzo owns 13 McDonald’s restaurants and has been with the company for four decades, first as an employee and now as a franchisee

Can vs fountain aren't the same, but they are both good in their own ways. If I want a good refreshing coke, I would not spend 3 time as much for a fountain when a chilled can of coke is just as good.

I find the survey deal is actually the best deal out of all the deals McD has to offer, even the coupons. Mainly because you can get a 10 piece meal for $6. This beats any meal deal or bogo.

Shell is doing their $0.05/litre off Air Miles promo again. Last time they did it (May?), they bumped it up to $0.06/litre off. They advertised it as up to 100 litres, but either it didn't work properly or they meant 100 litres/fill because we got the 6 cents off on every fill throughout the promotion on both vehicles (well in excess of 100 litres).

Ladysmith's Shell happened to have their own $0.03/litre off Air Miles promo which stacked for $0.09/litre off.

Here’s how to choose your offer:

1. Text the word SHELL to the phone number 111222 before July 5, 2017. Standard message rates apply.
2. You will then be asked to provide your AIR MILES Card Number. Enter it and send that as a follow-up text message.
3. Choose which offer you would like to get:

Text A if you would like to get 5¢ off per litre on up to 100 L of fuel when you pay in-store.

Text B if you would like to get 5 AIR MILES Bonus Miles for every $10 you spend, up to a maximum of 50 Bonus Miles.
4. Your offer will be loaded onto your AIR MILES Card and ready to use between July 14 and July 27, 2017. We will confirm by text on July 14.

Here's a hack for MG1. Looks like total cost is nothing, but your free time:

You won't believe what this passenger did ... (http://www.news.com.au/travel/travel-updates/china-eastern-airlines-passenger-uses-first-class-ticket-for-free-meals/news-story/ee3e55e8eaec6a5ca5e563d167728800)

A PASSENGER has been busted using his airline ticket in a rather surprising way.
The man used his first-class ticket to score free meals and drinks at a VIP airport lounge nearly every day for a year, the Kwong Wah Yit Poh reported.

He changed his flight itinerary more than 300 times within the year so he could enjoy the facilities at the Xi'an Airport in Shaanxi, China.

What's more, he cancelled his ticket for a refund when its validity was about to expire.
Staff members were less than impressed to discover what the man was up to, but a spokesman said there was no way to stop this "rare" act.

Buy bulk (Costco), if possible. It can be impractical if you're not buying for a family, though. Plan your week's meal in advance based on things that are on sale.

For me and wife, the regular plan is a combination of Save-On-Foods and the farm market (ie Kin's). We'll hit Costco for buying meat in bulk. We prep the meat before we freeze it. Buy (and stock up) the stuff on sale at Save-On's, and get the veggies we need for the week from Kin's. Getting the produce at farm market will save you, at least, 50% vs buying from the grocery store.

Basically this. I'm a firm believer of buying your produce when you need it. I find that if you buy produce in advance there's a higher chance of wasting it either by forgetting about it, or not going through with an earlier plan (i.e. you need to take out, you decide to make something else, etc etc).

I was gifted a vacuum sealer. At the time I never would have purchased one myself. But now that I have it I use it a lot after Costco runs to portion protein. Sometimes I'll pre-season some protein so my wife can throw it into the sous vide/defrost and put in the oven. Most of the time though it's sealed as is and I just defrost it and prep it on the day.

That said, I live in a condo with a million places to buy food/produce from. If you have to do groceries once a week, obviously the comment about buying produce when you need it is tougher to abide by.

Sous-vide has changed our lives. Meat goes from freezer direct to the bath. It's a stupid-easy procedure since we add marinade to the meat before we freeze it. My wife tosses whatever protein into the bath, and all I have to do is give it a quick sear when I get home from the office.

EDIT: Another tip is to know the highs and lows for things you will buy. I don't care that something is on sale if the discount isn't significant. I have "Buy-it-Now" thresholds where something will hit a low enough price that I will stock up, if I need it, because the price isn't going to get any lower.

I agree on getting bulk from Costco but might be tough for an apartment. I bought those giant toilet paper and tissue packs. My god it took like 1/3 of my closet space...... I am thinking of getting veggies from Farm market when I can(there is one that's 5mins away from work so I can just go there after work). Meat I am not sure yet..... I always though Superstore was the cheapest.

Not sure I should get a vacuum sealer. Due the apartments limited space and I think my mom always use Ziploc bags for meats. Just prep the meat put it in the Ziploc bag and just freeze it. She also re-use the bags(not sure if you should but I guess is cheaper this way). I am thinking of maybe Ziploc bag is good enough for me for now.

I won't be doing groceries once a week. Most like 2 to 3 times? Maybe more if I need to buy bigger items. Since I skytrain to and from work I think I will most likely pick up the stuff on my way home. Saves time.

I have "Buy-it-Now" thresholds where something will hit a low enough price that I will stock up, if I need it, because the price isn't going to get any lower.

Just look at a few videos on Sous-vide cooking. So it seems like you prepare the meat (steak, chikcen wings, pork etc etc) and then add the Sous-vide to a tab or a pot of water to cook it? Since the Sous-vide have a set temperature it will cook it I guess...... Do you have to use a vacuum sealer with it or no?

I guess when I purchase things before(mostly fruits and snacks) I just look at the on sale sign vs the regular price sign. If the sale is good I will just get it. My mom always shop at Superstore or Crystal mall since is close and price are OK. For bulk stuff is always Costco.

You don't need a vacuum sealer as a ziploc will do (using water displacement technique). I find a vacuum sealer does do better at keeping proteins in the freezer, but that's personal preference.

The thing to remember about sous vide is that you're keeping a food item at a specific temperature for a specific amount of time. Depending on the combination, you can kill bacteria (essentially via pasteurization) while your meat looks raw. I wouldn't suggest going for the raw look, but for things that are tough to cook like Costco chicken breasts or a nice tenderloin you can ensure that it's cooked while keeping your desired "doneness" in the middle.

Sous Vide Safety: Salmonella and Bacteria - Amazing Food Made Easy (http://www.amazingfoodmadeeasy.com/info/sous-vide-safety/more/sous-vide-safety-salmonella-and-bacteria)


Of course, this is assuming you have the hour++ to prep your proteins (longer from the freezer). If you're looking for a quick ribeye sear in 6 minutes then sous vide is not for you. It's biggest asset is that it takes the guesswork out of ensuring your food is cooked correctly. I used to be a snob and avoid using my Anova for steak, but I've come around and think that sous-vide+quick sear on the grill has a better texture to me. Plus you can convince your friends that are scared of bacteria in raw meat with some science. Also, I use it to poach eggs and I will never ever go back to doing them one by one in a pot.

It starts on the 7th of August and goes till the 29th. One alert per week between those dates. In other words, you can only redeem once a week. The app keeps track.

As for the free chocolate bar, go early tomorrow, as in before noon. I wAnder if the 7-Eleven gas station on Lougheed at Bainbridge has the chocolate bars.

Living on a tight budget these days. Eating on deals almost everyday.

1) Mcdonald's survey, make it a meal free.
2) Go to Mcdonald's and buy a large drink. Go to Wendy's and buy a premium sandwich, get a single dave's or chicken sandwich free from survey.
3) KFC fill ups, $5, with free popcorn chicken or cheesecake if you do the survey.
4) Triple O's $2 off survey.

An oldie my friend taught me. Request your drink and ice separately. The amount of ice they put in a rum and coke literally takes up 1/2+ of the glass.

Fresh Slice Pizza in Surrey (7218 King George Blvd.) is having a block party. Free XL pizza for first 10 customers (can't wait to see who lines up for this, gulolol). And, XL pizza for $7.99 all day. I got this email at 10:46 this morning. Like WTF?

Choose from Pepperoni, Hawaiian, Vegetarian, Teaser, or 8 Classic slices from the warmer. One coupon per customer and can't be combined with other specials. This deal must redeem in person at 7218 King George Blvd, Surrey on Saturday, September 16, 2017.

It's Fresh Slice pizza, so not a huge deal. If the block party had other things involved and the location was within 5 minutes and price was $3.99, then it might be worth going. So, in other words, no.

I was at the Coquitlam Superstore. The one near Ikea and they had more than plenty of chocolates left. Upon closer inspection, it was because the prices were not that great. I recall something like this happening in the past. They're either banking on the fact consumers are idiots, or they're waiting for head office to give the go ahead. In my frugal Asian heart, I feel tomorrow, Saturday, is when they are going to pull the trigger. Perhaps in the morning, but more likely noon. Be ready for it, RS cheapskates.............. I have too many left over from Halloween to even bother. And no, I'm not going to give previous year's chocolates to kids. There is a limit to cheapness. Funny thing is, Asians give better candies. I remember living in Walnut Grove (white suburbia, at the time) and most of the candies were like Rockets......... ugh. Just Saiyan, gulolol.

The McCafé festive lineup, which is available in participating McDonald's restaurants across the country starting today, will feature four uniquely-designed decorated cups, complete with bright red lids – marking the first time the brand has changed the colour of its signature lid.

The campaign will also include a national promotion and limited menu items at participating McDonald's restaurants that celebrate the season, including:

From November 13th to December 10th, get Any Size Premium Roast coffee, including a new XL size, for $1 plus tax

New sweet treats including Gingerbread Blondies and Peppermint Brownies (made without gluten). Participating Quebec restaurants will be offering a Chocolate Hazelnut Croissant in place of the Peppermint Brownie

The Peppermint Mocha and Peppermint Hot Chocolate for the young at heart, and the new Crème Brûlée Latte for a more sophisticated treat

New festive flavoured Crème Brûlée and Peppermint Mocha Iced Frappés will be introduced. For the first time, Iced Frappés are offered year-round to build on the momentum created by the popular Oreo Iced Frappés this summer

if you guys are looking for cheap down jackets for the winter, i recommend aliexpress. i bought a vest on there for like $20 and it is about the same quality as my uniqlo vest that was $50 or $60. some guys in the hiking/backpacking community really like them as well. a hooded down jacket for $30 instead of $100 that uniqlo charges (or $300-450 that patagonia and arcteryx charge). now i'm all about having nice outdoor gear, i have and still continue to buy arcteryx and patagonia down, but if you're just looking for something that doesn't have to be technical and high performing, yet still ticks 90% of the boxes, then you can't really go wrong. The only trick is getting your sizing right, since it's asian sizes.

Good news, I think............

PC Mastercard Points is joining with Shoppers Optimum.

Starting February 1, 2018.

Not sure if it's good news 'cause no details yet. Points are 1 to 1. If that's the case, I'm glad I held back and not spend all my Shoppers points. Having said that, Shoppers Optimum points, right now, do not work the same as PC Points. The more Optimum points you have, the more buying power you have. Plus, those 20X points and Spend Your Points events at Shoppers will probably be canceled. Perhaps I should start taking advantage of the 20X points events. There's usually a big Spend Your Points event just before Xmas time. Things I don't need, like X Box, Playstation, Mid size TV's, etc. I need to launder some of my points, gulolol.

Nice! Thanks for the heads up.

With how much you spend, you should try to align them up with Credit Card promotional offers.

Such as AMEX Starwood card, a 120 fee, but get something like 20,000 starwood points after spending 1500 within 90 days.

Those 20,000 points could be equivalent to like 600-1500 in value at a hotel, depending on season/country.

Canadian Tire this coming Saturday has their 20X points event. 30X if you have their Options Mastercard. I might actually get one, because of their no interest, no fee, program for purchases over 200 bucks. Need winter tires? Spread it over time with no interest. Sounds good to me. I'm not sure if it's 12 months or more........... anyway. I pay my cards off all the time. I feel for those who can't and have to pay like 19.99% in interest.

Thank god CT Money is now electronic. Although, they still have the paper variety.

It's a pretty handy card, got quite the few free Eliminator batteries with it over the years.

For paper CT money, just stuff into the donation box beside the door if you get it, I find it takes up too much space and doesn't add up to much.

Can any of u recommend a good pair of steel toe boots from marks? Thinking of getting the gift card to spend on a pair. The comfier the better.

What kind of work do you do? Personally the only steel toes i'd buy from Marks ever again are the Dunlop rubber boots, some of, if not the best boots i've ever worn, but a lot of people dont need the full time rubber boots.

I find almost everything else Marks sells is garb, some of their Timberland stuff is OK but they dont carry a lot of the nicer/better models.

For me now it's Red wings or nothing, my current red wing steel toes which are kind of a blundstone style slip on slip off were like $270, but worth every penny imo.

They are more comfortable as a steel toe and fit better off the shelf than my $600 custom made Dayton boots.

I don't have the slip on slip off, but Red Wings 2412/2414 are definitely great for the money. Plus resoling for vibrams is 100 or authethic soles for 145 at a cobbler.

I've heard great things about Blundstones too.

Do not buy 99cents Christmas gift wrap from Walmart
I pick up couple thinking why buy from dollar stores at $1.25..
WRONG!
this is worst than dollar store, wrap is thinner than newspaper, it's almost like tissue.
It kept tearing when I was wrapping so half the roll end up in recycle bin.
worst part is, because it's so thin, you can almost see through and know what the gift is without even unwrapping it.

p.s. do not buy from dollar stores neither, their roll is so short it's only good for one med-large gift.

McDonald's mailer coupons are out. So are the Subway coupons. Even Tim Horton's has mailer coupons out now.

Also, if you have the McDonald's mobile app, Big Mac, Egg McMuffin or McCafé beverage is a dollar plus tax. Only catch is, you have to use Mobile Ordering. 50% off McChicken. There's also a buy one get one deal, but it's also on the mailer.

Don't forget, the mailers work at the kiosk, so you can use the coupons over and over again. I don't think they ask for the coupon at the counter. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Oh, if you didn't get the mailer coupons, here's a link for printable coupons.

Really good promotion on right now for a limited number of people.

The promotion is that if you spend 95 Air Miles Cash Miles ($10 cash equivalent) or more, you get 20 bonus Air Miles. No minimum fuel requirements and stacks with other promotions.

https://www.shell.ca/en_ca/motorists/loyalty-and-payment/air-miles/air-miles-cash.html#vanity-aHR0cDovL3d3dy5zaGVsbC5jYS9haXJtaWxlc2Nhc2g

Now you can use AIR MILES Cash at Shell. Simply swipe your AIR MILES card instore or at the pump where available and get $10 off for every 95 AIR MILES Cash Miles redeemed on your purchases. Plus for a limited time get 20 Bonus Miles every time you redeem your AIR MILES Cash Miles.

Offer valid through January 8 to March 7 at participating Shell locations. Get 20 AIR MILES® Bonus Miles when you use your AIR MILES Cash Miles on any purchase at Shell (excluding tobacco products, Shell Gift Cards, Third Party Gift Cards, Prepaid Gift Cards, or Phone Cards). Maximum of 20 Bonus Miles per transaction for this offer. Maximum of 5 transactions per day. No coupon required. A valid AIR MILES® Card must be swiped at time of transaction. Offer may be combined with other bonus offers.

Now, to take advantage of the promotion, you pretty much have to meet the following requirements:
1) Have a substantial amount of Air Miles Cash Miles (at least 475, but the more, the better)
2) Be willing to only fill $10 of gas at a time
3) Have a Shell station located on your commute (else waste too much fuel to make it worthwhile)
4) Convert 100% of your Air Miles to Cash Miles.

I tried this out today and it worked. Spent 95 Air Miles Cash Miles on $10 worth of gas and got 20 bonus Air Miles (also stacked with a coupon to reduce the cost per litre).

Breakdown is:
- $0 real money spent
- 20 Air Miles back for every 95 Air Miles Cash Miles spent (technically 21% of Air Miles back, but if you only have 475 Cash Miles, it's basically get $60 of gas for $50 worth of Cash Miles, so an 18.3% savings)

I've had Prime now for a month, thanks to people on RS. I must admit, I have not had time to watch anything on Prime Video. Just taking advantage of free shipping and some of the deals. You'd figure that with retirement, one would have a shitload of time on their hands. Working most of my life, I finally have time to do the things I've always wanted to do. Plus, I have enough hobbies and interests to last three lifetimes.

Maybe binge watch entire collection of the Matlock series.............. 'cause that's what seniors do, gulolol.

Lee Valley Tools has their spring savings card event on right now. April 6th to 22nd. Anytime you buy something, they give you a ten dollar off a fifty dollar purchase card. The card is valid for the month of May. You can't combine them, but when their shit never goes on sale, except for special buys, it's a good deal. I purchased two $1000.00 gift cards on Cyber Monday at 15% off, so using that to pay for stuff in May and then using the 10 dollars off card, it ends up being a pretty good deal.

Can't use it towards Festool or Sawstop equipment........... not that I can afford or justify buying that stuff.

I can't remember where I saw it, but I remember seeing an ad for a banana muffin and any size mccafe drink for $1.99.

That is a much better deal, imo.

The only advantage of Big Gulp at 7-Eleven over McD’s dollar fountain drink, besides the slightly lower price, is the 7th cup is free deal, gulolol.

As a side note, is it just me, or are all 7-Eleven employees trained to rip you off whenever and wherever they can? They charge me more all the time and I have to correct them. “Oh, I thought it was a Slurpee.” No, you dumb fuck. You can’t tell a fucking slurpee from a fountain drink?” The location kitty corner from Chong Lee is pretty honest. Anyway............

I cannot believe I missed out on the Lowes Grand Opening Sale (Grandview Hwy location). First 150 customers on Saturday got a $25.00 gift card. I just went through the flyers before they went into the recycling bin. RS, you failed me, gulolol.

Yesterday, I went to Shoppers Drug Mart where they had the spend 75 dollars and get 25, 000 points. That's 25 bucks in points.

Today, I went to Superstore in Coquitlam. When I get there, dude charging his EV was just unplugging. Score! I go in the store and bought a few grocery items. PC Rocky Road ice cream are on sale for $3.89 this week. To me, that's still expensive, but they give you 2000 points for each one you buy. The PC lactose free, fruity swirl, frozen yogurt bars were also on sale and you get 2500 points each. PC Nitro Black Cold Brew Coffee got me 9000 points for 6 cans. I'm not a coffee drinker, but damn that shit is strong. Nitrogen charged widget inside, whatever the hell that means - does something when shaken? Rib steaks were also on sale. Now I have to clean the BBQ.

Anyway.................. start posting up the deals, people. I can't do it alone. Remember, saving money means more money for auto parts, gulolol.


Addendum: I'm collecting PC Optimum Points and plan to use them on "Spend Your Points" event at Shoppers. Long time coming, but saving just got a whole lot better when Superstore, No Frills, and Shoppers Drug Mart joined forces under the Optimum flag.

Another great deal I found a few months ago was the time I purchased a Dyson hot+cold air purifier. It was on sale (I think 100 dollars off), plus 30X Canadian Tire money if you used the Options Mastercard. I think I got like $120.00 in Canadian Tire money. Canadian Tire money is now good at Mark's and Sport Check? You can use it to buy gas, too, but not 100% sure, as I drive electric car. Plus, Bellingham gas, gulolol.

Before racing on Sunday I used a Burger King coupon for $4.49 for 2 Whopper Jr and 2 small fries. For $4.70 that's enough food for me. Sure BK is and hit and miss but I got lucky and the food was hot and decent for the price.

Hard to get lunch for under $5 anymore and McDonalds $5 Mcdouble/Jr chicken combo is not enough food.


Also for anyone in Victoria or just visiting, a low cost fun family day is to ride the trains at Saanich Historical Artifacts Society site known as Heritage Acres, 7321 Lochside Drive, Saanichton. If you go on a day with no gate charge it's just by donation. Pack a lunch as there are plenty of picnic tables and lots to see. There is also a reasonably priced concession with burgers/fries etc.

Princess Auto is having their Spend 75, get 15 off promo again. Just go in and buy something this month and wait until July to get the deal. July 2nd to 29th.

I went in there to get this Muck Pail that was on sale. I'm gonna use it as a hug planter. It's 66L and really heavy duty. Better than any planter at a garden shop. And, it was under twenty bucks. While supplies last..... or until MG1 buys out the last bit tomorrow, gulolol.

I have a bunch of free tickets to Yuk Yuk's on 12th and Cambie for Tuesdays, Wednesdays, & Thursdays. The earliest expiry on them looks like Aug 31, some extend up to Sept 22. Each ticket is good for 2 adult admissions, shows are typically at 8PM, doors open at 7PM. I have the ability to acquire more if there is enough interest.

Tuesdays = Top Talent showcase (all local comics signed with YY)
Wednesdays = Amateur night (see some good ones, see some cringey ones)
Thursdays = Yuk Off Competition (comp runs all summer, you vote for your top 3 at the end, busiest weeknight we have)

I do recommend calling Yuks and reserving your seats for the date you want and mention you have a CAR FREE ADMIT 2 TICKET. Tickets not valid for special shows (any show on Yuks calendar with a red star in the corner).

I can arrange for pick ups in Burnaby if needed with my hubs. Im also working this wed june 20 & July 2-12 so i would be able to have your tix at the box office those days.

Anybody interested? No catch. Theyre free ya beautiful cheap bastards :fuckthatshit:

I am sure a lot of us do that as well maybe not intentionally but still. Found out the girls living next to my apartment is still using my Wifi. They move in last month but haven't setup their internet yet and ask if I could let them use the WiFi while they call an ISP. Anyways I didn't think too much since my data cap is like 5TB. Randomly login to my router to setup some port forwarding and notice they still connected to my WiFi. Not sure if I should just change the Wifi password/talk to them/or just let it be...
