I love my New Balance Fresh Foam shoes, they come in wide widths and lace tightly. I think they were $150 with tax at a performance shoe store. I’ve had plantar fasciitis and heel pain issues, and they are pretty much gone now with so much comfortable support. I now can walk up to 19k steps in a day without pain afterwards! They also look nice and not too bulky, my 2nd choice was a pair of Brooks, similarly priced but kind of bulky looking.

Corelle are great, I see them often at thrift stores for cheap.
We did a 2 year RV Life adventure, and needed plastic microwave safe dishes. We found some at Target, I think they still sell them, pretty colors and they were like $0.79 each. I think Walmart has them too. Daiso (Japanese Yen store on West coast) also used to have plastic large ramen bowls and wood-look large oval low bowls that we used for salad and burrito bowls. Oil and tomato (acid) based sauces always etch and pit most plastic when heated in the microwave, best to use glass or Corelle for things like that. Silicone is also good in the microwave, we had some collapsible food containers that worked great for the RV in terms of space, bonus is that they are nonslip in the RV fridge!

Reply to Obligated Asian Rice Cooker by ArmorXIII
These simple 1 button ones last forever! My mom had 3 classic National brands, and none of them broke in my lifetime (I’m 53), mom has passed on, and now my sister and niece own them! I’ve had other ones that I eventually gave away to my kids or thrift stores because I’ve cut back on rice, or I use my Ninja Foodi pressure cooker to meal prep brown rice nowadays.
Right now I’m living in Bangkok, and just bought a similar type as picture for only $10usd! 😁

My non branded spiral hair ties have lasted for about 3 years! Amazing, they hold well, and not easily lost, either.

My husband really likes the black 100% Cotton Champion brand tees I got on Amazon (pack of three). Really thick and soft. It’s been difficult to find 100% cotton in XL tall. I’ve also had luck on Carhart online.

Not sure of name, but there’s “880” printed next to “Fresh Foam” on the tongue and rear heel design.
