I was going through my Wal-Mart+ subscription plan that I got for free and I saw their offers. One of which was EMeals, that was a 60-day trial. I thought that this was like Blue Apron or other meal delivery services so I thought I’d take a crack at it and hope that it would get me on a path to eat better.

Turns out, it’s just a meal planner. And it’s absurd to me why and how would anyone pay for something when there are countless and countless recipes and meal planners readily available for free. Who’d the fuck would want to pay for a planner? That’s like paying for a calendar app.

    I like owning my own stuff.
    By that proxy you could also just rent your home instead of owning a living space.

      Books, though? If I had to buy every book I’ve read, I would be destitute and need a hundred storage units. Even with a converted effort not to buy books I have a whole shelf of them.

      That’s a crazy comparison. If I could rent a home for free from the library I would feel like I’d won the lottery. I absolutely would do that. Is renting from the library not free where you are?

        Depends. My local library is but the major library in the neighbouring city has a fee associated with being a member lending something. Entry is free though.
