I understand that the cost per item is the same, but I simply don’t need that many bottles (or whatever it is).  So if I get the bundle, I’m spending more money to have more junk in my household. 

So basically, I’m paying more for the three items that I do need and end up with a bunch of leftover crap. This is not hypothetical. I still have a bunch of leftover stuff that I’m not using in my drawers from scenarios like these.

For example, let’s say I needed a clear container tube for something like lotion. And I only need one, or two. But definitely no more than 5.

Amazon will only sell something like 12 pieces for over $10, whereas on aliexpress, I’ll be able to purchase 1 or 2 for $0.33.

That’s exactly what I do because amazon basically sells the same stuff as aliexpress, only amazon insists on selling stuff in higher quantities to jack up prices.

Yea, why does this happen?

I think cutting the soda goes a very long way. Soda is nothing but empty calories and I feel like I’d it’s so easy to just cut it from your diet.

Wow, I’m surprised I’ve never heard this before.

Figures. I don’t think that the Ukrainians who were pissed about his suggested “peace deal” knew about this. Either that, or they didn’t mention it. And I remember his article was widely discussed in the Ukrainian media. Maybe if his background was more widely known, his opinion would have been more easily dismissed.

Can someone please explain what he did to be labeled a war criminal?

Genuine question, because I only know this guy as an asshole who suggested Ukraine should give up it’s occupied territories.

Well, as they say: “I’m going my part”.

I try to make it a point to post questions on communities that have not kicked off yet, knowing that I most likely will not receive a response for a while.

That’s cause they don’t sell them this way

I honestly haven’t paid attention where it starts going up. But I always thought that doing the two “?”s in Spanish was pretty clever for that reason.
