I used to book flights 6 months ahead, now I wait 6 weeks

Everyone in travel groups says book early for the best deals. I did that for years and kept overpaying. Last year I tested waiting till 45 days out for a trip to Austin and saved $120 on the round trip. Now I check Google Flights and set alerts instead of booking blind. It's not perfect but I've saved around $400 total since switching. Has anyone else had better luck with last minute bookings than the early bird method?

Bought a $7 bag of lentils on a whim at the farmers market last Saturday, and now I'm ditching canned beans for good after the lady running the stall showed me how they soak up way more flavor in soups.

Has anyone else made the switch and found a favorite lentil recipe that doesn't take forever to cook?

Just realized my paint roller covers were the wrong nap for months

Yeah that's life man. Figuring out the right tool after using the wrong one forever.

Took me 8 years to realize I was torquing head bolts wet instead of dry

Man, that's brutal. I bet that was a frustrating lesson to learn.

I went with the native wildflower meadow instead of a traditional lawn for my front yard in Nashville

Took me three tries not to kill mine, but they forgave me eventually. Your neighbor come around yet?

Ran into my old high school teacher at the grocery store and she called me out for always being late to first period

Oh wait, is that how it works? I think I already noticed it before I read your post, so maybe I'm immune or something. Actually now I'm trying to remember if I saw it first and then your post made me realize I was already paying attention to it, or if your post planted the whole thing. This is getting confusing.

Looking for a dependable landscaping service?

I'll second the recommendation for Prolawn. We don't use them for big projects, but they've handled our weekly lawn care and seasonal cleanups for a few years now. Never had a single issue with them.
