Hi folks, I'm looking for a second credit card since my current one offers more or less no benefits. Baby's first credit card is looking pretty sad these days.

• Current cards: Petal 1, $900, August 2022
• FICO Score: 815 (Experian)
• Oldest account age: 4 years, one month
• Chase 5/24 status: 0/24
• Income: ~$13000/y
• Average monthly spend and categories:
  • dining: $40
  • groceries: $300
  • gas: $0 (I don't drive)
  • travel: $30
  • rent: $575 (but my landlord only takes check so it doesn't super apply)
  • other: $218
• Open to Business Cards: Yes
• What's the purpose of your next card? Cashback, but I'm also interested in working up to a much larger credit limit (something in the 10k range, preferably) in case of emergencies.
• Do you have any cards you've been looking at? AAA Daily Advantage, but I do some of my grocery shopping at Walmart so the nerf doesn't work for me.
• Are you OK with category spending or do you want a general spending card? I'm open to either one but I'd prefer to get cashback on groceries if at all possible since that's my biggest spend.

A couple other bits of useful information: I shop most often at Walmart, Hannaford, TJ Maxx/Marshalls, drugstores, and local restaurants. I'm open to getting two new cards if that'll benefit me the most. Also, I'm disabled (on SSI) so I primarily shop online and have things delivered.

Thoughts? I bow to those wiser than me in the ways of credit c:

Weird request, but years ago I had been getting into wine and had plans to head to a local brewery with a friend of mine and sample a bunch of beers when something happened and I had to go on very strictly no-alcohol medication. I'd just accepted that I was never going to be able to drink and recently found out that actually there's tons of great nonalcoholic options on the market now. Where should I start?

In general, I very much have a sweet tooth, but I'm a fan of acquired tastes and expect this will be no different. The only beers I'm familiar with are when I had a sip of someone else's pre-medication and when I drank wine I went for something like a rose with a splash of sprite. My favorite flavors for anything are usually fruity, chocolatey, and sour/tangy like sauerkraut or greek yogurt.

What would you good folks recommend?

Hi folks, I recently got a very generous amount of groceries from the local food pantry, including a lot of fresh veggies that I wouldn't normally buy for myself - I get frozen every time to make sure I don't waste anything/let it go bad but honestly my diet is mostly carbs since it's cheap. I have carrots, baby potatoes, cucumbers, a really shocking amount of onions, and some bell peppers. What's the best way to stretch them as far as possible knowing I may not have access to more fresh veggies for a while (at least until I'm allowed to go back to the food pantry)?

My ideas so far -

• Carrot cake, slice and freeze
• Treat myself to a nice dinner with roast carrots, potatoes, and onions?
• Cucumber sandwiches
• Vegetable soup

As you can see I'm not really sure what to do with a fresh vegetable.

Any ideas or should I just try to cook and eat it all as quickly as possible so it doesn't go to waste?
