If I ever come across them i’m the weirdo that will randomly message you bc I’ve remembered. The ikea ones sound promising - if you aren’t near a store join ikea family (it’s free) for shipping discounts.

I am really hard on t-shirts and all my Hanes Beefy-T shirts have stood up well to work and everyday use over the years.

Those actually are about the same size wise. But they are heavier yes.

Reply to comment by DirtRoad357 in LoveSac couch (need additional characters in title seems stupid) by crightwing
Yea we went to a store and tried it out in person and wasn't really impressed with the feel of the standard and deep seats. Especially when we compared to a Macy Radley sectional price wise. We're happy with ours (so far) and very glad I didn't spend 6k on a couch. Yes the lovesac is probably better built quality but we figured we can buy like 2-3 couches and have more flexibility choice wise over time.

Depending on how cold, Steger Mukluks are a good option. They are great for winter where it’s not slushy snow, but mostly dry snow. They aren’t waterproof but will keep your feet warm and they are light and comfortable.
My mother has a pair that she has had for 25 years, and I saw her a few days ago I thought thought she bought a new pair. She recently resoled them, but otherwise the leather is still prime. And they are made in Ely, Mn!

Mine are identical except they didn't come with the round ones. I can confirm that the square/rectangular ones all fit into each other. I think the lids have lifetime warranties too. Here's closer to my set, but I did buy it at Costco: https://www.snapware.com/product/10-piece-food-storage-container-set-made-pyrex-glass

Makes sense. I guess our life has become so boring we only need one in the car while we are always back home for the night!

Reply to Recommendation for Mens Long Sleeve Oxford by [deleted]
If you plan on wearing it untucked, I’d go with Untuckit. Others will have longer tails and fronts which can look dumb. I have several and love them.

I’m a male turtleneck lover - and own too many. Hands down my favorite brand for comfort, fit, easy laundering and longevity is Lands’ End.

I should try that stuff. I use inntertube patches for a bike tire on mine and they also work great.

The nonstick loaf pans are awful as well. You'd never know by the price.

I was so disappointed because I absolutely love my current one. I think I’m going to have to look on eBay for one.
