Shipping suggestions (NH to DMV, USA)
Hi everyone! I will be moving from NH to the DMV area and was wondering if I could get some suggestions for cheap shipping. I am not too comfortable with highway/long-distance driving yet and so will be flying (I also do not have a car currently and would have to rent it or something like that).
I would also prefer a service that would pick up the boxes since it would be a little hasslesome for me to drop it off. I've heard that USPS offers free pick-ups and that it's door-to-door and the price is relatively lower.
Also, just an additional note, I will be shipping a suitcase or two along with the boxes.
Any suggestions and advise are welcome!
Thank you so much for your time!

Cheapest non perishable food item for donation drives
Hello,
I’m looking to buy and donate non-perishable food for a donation drive where the donations are counted by quantity. The more items donated, the more that will be matched.
I’m trying to maximize the impact by finding the absolute cheapest per-item options. Ramen noodles definitely seem to be one of the cheapest choices, but I’m wondering if there are other similarly affordable items I should consider.
Looking for items under .50 cents per item. If there's a back of 10, counts as 10 items.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Product Request ✋ Favorite cheap coffee maker
We know it’s not the best but we frequently use coffee makers. What is a good one for under $50? We do have a Moka pot and French press we use but a coffee maker is just a bit more convenient for us. We don’t like keurigs

Discussion 💬 How can I find out where specific clothing stores sell their unsold merchandise?
I’m looking for details about where specific brands or stores send their out-of-season, unsold, or clearance merchandise. For example, in my area, clothes from Express, J.Crew, and Victoria’s Secret often end up at Designer Fashion Warehouse (DFW), where they’re sold for $5–$15 per item. Higher-end brands like Madewell, Vince Camuto, and Steve Madden are typically sent to Nordstrom Rack or T.J. Maxx.
Do you know where particular brands or stores send their excess inventory?

Affordable shopping?
I like to shop from time to time but I only use apps like Temu and SHEIN because they aren’t too expensive and some of their things are of good quality. I want to stop using it because I know they probably partake in child labor and I don’t want to support it, but it’s hard finding sites that are affordable. any recommendations? 👀

Discussion 💬 Dd discount Ross Decorating Set Deal
This is a frugal shopping find group so look what I found. All three are 1.49 I only needed one so I don't walk out with nothing or being judged. I can't find any clearance pants under 5$ budget 8 metal piping icing tips stacked on each other so the package makes it look like there's only one. Compare to Joan fabrics USA store or Dollar tree USA store, be like 1.25$ or more per piece icing bottles and piping tips. So 1.49 for all 14 piece is a steal! 6.52 ringgit Malay, 1.16 pound sterling UK, 2.27 Australian dollars,229.68 Japanese yen. 10.70 Chinese yuan. Is it cheaper in your region? Brand doesn't matter.

Product Request ✋ Looking for decent inexpensive washer and dryer
Hi all. I'm looking for a washer and dryer as I recently (well, last December) bought a house. It came with no appliances whatsoever, so I ended up buying an oven and refrigerator from Best Buy on a Best Buy credit card, which is now a bit less than half paid off with a 24-month no-interest financing plan. I've been doing laundry at a friend's house, but that tends to eat most of my Sunday every week between me and my partner's laundry, plus her washer kind of sucks. In the interest of getting my Sundays back and putting less strain on my friend's appliances and water bills, I'm looking to buy a washer and dryer myself.
Since I have the Best Buy card I'm most likely going to be looking at Best Buy; it has $1650 available credit to use before I hit the limit. I also have some money in savings, and we are going to be having a third person move in in a few months who has offered to help pay as well. Still, I'd rather spend as little as possible for a decent product, which is why I'm here.
I'm looking for something that will last at least ten years, as I plan to sell the house and move out west at that point. I'd prefer for it to be from Best Buy, and I don't mind if it's open-box or scratch and dent or whatever. I'm looking more for functionality than aesthetics. I've heard that their store brand Insignia is sketchy so I'd prefer to stay away from that one. If anyone has any recommendations I'd greatly appreciate it.
If it matters at all, I'm in the Pittsburgh PA region. Some of their stuff is only available in local stores (or it seems NOT available in my local stores), so that might be a factor as well.

Best low-cost unlimited data phone plans?
My current cell phone plan is with T-Mobile, which includes data for my iPad and Apple Watch, and protection plans, totals out to $190 a month. That's an insane amount to be paying each month and I'm looking to cut down on costs.
Here is what I would like to have with my service:
- Unlimited high speed data
- Hotspot
- Ability to stream Netflix, YouTube, etc. in 1080p. At the very least, I can deal with 720p.
- Protection for devices
Optional:
- Data plans for iPad and Apple Watch preferred, but I've decided I can do without these.
- International plans preferred, or at least cheap roaming charges, but not entirely necessary since I can just use an eSIM for this. At the very least I would still like to be able to talk/text internationally.
That said, what are my options? I'm trying to gather as much data as possible on this and would like some suggestions. Thanks!

Where to buy new "men blazer suit for less than 70$" . I live in Chicago if that helps.
Was considering online stores like Shein but not sure about quality and fit, looks like more hassle rather than walking into store and trying.
Some of places might be Burlington, Marshalls, Ross.
Thank you !!

Can I trust the extremely low-priced items on Temu? Will they harm my skin?For example, a $1.67 cover-up shirt, a $0.83 T-shirt, a $2.28 hoodie... When I wanted to investigate why I keep seeing Temu's ads, I found out on BigSpy that over the past 30 days, Temu has placed over 60,000 ads on Facebook
