Reminds me of a guy who tracked coffee waste savings... got a new chair out of it.

Man, that makes me wonder how many of these pieces only work in bad weather, like when it's raining or foggy.

Yeah, I mean you can spot check the high risk stuff. Like with jute, just throw a moisture meter on it when it comes off the truck. Takes two seconds and saves you from the big mess.

Wait, but is it really that simple though? I mean sometimes trainers just get lucky with their advice and we act like it's some big deal. No offense to @drew_reed62, but I've seen people follow a tip that works once and then it totally fails the next time. Maybe it's just me, but I'm always a little suspicious of those "aha" moments that seem too easy.

Mood tax" sounds like something a finance guy made up to feel better about buying overpriced stuff. It's just spending money because you're bummed out. Sometimes it works, sometimes you just end up forty bucks lighter with butter on your shirt. Calling it a smart move feels like a stretch. It's just a thing you do.
