Something is not right with banggood and shipping times..

There could possibly be brief moments in time where I would qualify to be that

Tell me about it… :smiley:
I always try to pay my fair share if doing something with a group of my friends or people.

BUT …… the “brief momemts” for me being miserly or stingy are few & far between lately. :person_facepalming:

I have had to downgrade from canned Black Beans to Ramen Noodles…. :open_mouth: . :person_facepalming:
.
:wink:

quite the downgrade from beans to noodles but I can understand it! A can of black beans up here cost $0.97 whereas Ramen Noodles about $0.20 a pop, so I see the logic in it all

Yep… “quite the downgrade” for sure. :person_facepalming: Black Beans here are 54 cents a can, IIRC. Ramen Noodles are 15 cents…. how far I have fallen. :person_facepalming:
.
:wink:

See, that’s where you can the knowledge you’ve acquired on BLF.

1. Try buying canned beans during specials. The lowest price I’ve found in Canada is 0,79$CA.

2. Do not buy canned beans. Buy a bag of canned beans instead, and prep it in water. The price/kg of dry beans is much lower than canned beans, so that is another thing that can be done.

3. Combine beans with tofu, and some mackerel/sardines, and veggies. If you have good cooking skills, you can prepare something worthy of a vegetarian god for a low price.

We should all gang up on BLF for pretending to be a "budget" light forum whilst emptying our wallets

Beans and veggies are my revenge against inflation. Food prices could skyrocket and my diet would still cost next to nothing weekly.

At least until everyone else is eating them too. Then your cheap beans are going to skyrocket as well. Unless you grow your own, at which time you will die in the winter. :slight_smile:

/\…… Or…. grow enough & can them to get through the winter. :wink:
.

That’s the spirit…

Guys, DO NOT anything you eat from sold from Value Brand. Most if not all sourced from China imported products. You guys will encounter problems.

Good suggestions BSM… I may not starve after all if I get real creative. :+1:
.
:wink:

Yeah, a 16oz can labelled “100lbs”…

Yes, but without the waiting… :wink:

“Value Brand”… is that the ‘brand name’ or the name of a Supermarket chain?? I’m not famaliar with it.
But thanks for the tip…… :+1:

I will eat anything. At this point in my life I need a little excitement. If it kills me, then so be it. I will cook my Chinese Value Brand with my Chinese flashlight and then type on my Chinese keyboard that I got a case of the runs. Then I will make an appointment with my Chinese doctor who will prescribe for me a diet high in MSG and questionable meat products. Repeat. :smiley:

Back on-topic. Still waiting for the replacement emitter for the L6 I ordered from banggood to ship. It’s bad enough to receive a defective item and worse to jump through hoops to get them to agree to remedy, but to wait even longer while ‘customer service’ responds with empty promises… I’m done being ‘reasonable’. I’ll be filing a paypal complaint in the morning.

Meanwhile - orders got split out (oddly) while things were out of stock. Latest split was Convoy S2+ Nichia UV, and Astrolux A01. Sometime in there, the Convoy was in stock, but A01 still waiting.

A01 got cancelled this morning so I’ve sent an email asking when refund will be processed, but in the meantime, the S2+ is out of stock again! So hopefully they put one aside while it was in stock (I’ll believe it when I see it), or that’ll get cancelled on me too.

Note to self, don’t order more than one item at a time.

If mayhem breaks out I'll go to plan B... potatoes. Easy to grow, just toss a potato in the ground and it never stops giving

...back to the topic, I ordered from BG as well and they still haven't shipped my order. Seems they need more financing to get going lately.

Nooooooooo… i wanted one of those!

You say that but i did exactly that a couple of months ago and my carpet’s now mouldy.
