Might be good to give an actual budget you have. This way people don’t guess and you’ll get more detailed responses. “Good Price” on things that can range from $50-15000+ can mean different things to different people.

Another vote for Bagel Gourmet. I’ve been going to them since 1997/8. Consistent quality as far as bagels go and friendly staff. They are also one of the few to do salt bagels which are a low key favorite of mine.

Yeah, pretty much it’s just venting. May need a new “tag” that relates to “rant/vent” that way it can be easily determined/skipped/filtered.

There are A LOT of new people here (first/new house, first/new apartment), which is why OPs post is useful. Just because you’ve lived in a cold state doesn’t necessarily mean you know or understand utility billing. I do understand that there are those that are just venting about the increased costs as well.

This was a really good breakdown. To add to this, layer, layer, layer. Learning to layer properly is an important part of dealing with the cold.

Reply to comment by SquattyLaHeron in The Arcade - Providence RI. Said to be the oldest shopping mall in America. Only a couple downstairs storefronts were occupied. by quinntronix
For me it was late 90’s, but still had shops on the 1st and I think it was offices on the second. It was really nice, but things like this are going away sadly.

Taconeando is good, I do miss China Gourmet though.

Not really, it’s part of the “blue laws” and related issues. If anything the state would collect more tax since most sites now require collecting local tax. It would hurt local businesses who can’t compete with the prices however.

Bagel Gourmet is my favorite, they also have good breakfast sandwiches. If you want more variety then Providence Bagel.

Learn to layer, it’s almost as important as what you’re wearing. I can usually wear just a hoodie down to 20’s depending on length of time being outside when layering properly. Also, I have multiple jackets casual and “dress”. I’d take a ride to Burlington coat factory or somewhere similar and try on as many different jackets you can to try and find what you like and “fits you.

As it’s been suggested many times before, get a realtor. They will be able to search and find things you may miss or not even aware are available.

The legal limit is 70% which is what you get from factory. The only “exceptions” are SUVs with factory tint on back windows and those with medical notes from doctors.

Just a suggestion, tell people what you like to do. “Boring” is a general term and what one person sees as boring, another may see as fun. Is there something you e done and liked around there? If so let people know, that way they may suggest similar, but different things.

You def want to check out the used/refurbished market then. Previous recommendations posted should be a good starting point.
