Cheapest grocer?

Has anyone recently done the recon on which grocery store is the cheapest in our area? We do a lot of produce, some dairy. Gluten free snacks, crackers, breakfast bars. Meat yes but willing to separate the trips bc those purchases are less frequent for us. We have a new-to-us chest freezer so looking to be more deliberate about sales and stocking up when it’s appropriate. Thanks so much!

Best aquatic centers and splash pads for children in the area?

Indoor aquatics center options: I'm talking Apex Center-level aquatics center. Visited Lakewood Link and it was really nice but really small.

Outdoor splash pads: I've heard oof Surfside Spray Park and will visit soon! I want to hear what else is out there.

Thanks in advance!

Frozen breakfast burritos for postpartum meal prep

Hi all! I’m no stranger to using mission tortillas or corn tortillas for meals I eat immediately (heat them up) but this is a new world for me- meal prepping breakfast burritos with gf tortillas for storage in the freezer for later consumption. Do you have any recs on brands, process, storage to avoid early breakage and to ensure easy reheat process? Figured I’d ask you all first before I go into trial and error! The dream during the postpartum phase is prepping meals I can eat one-handed! Am I dreaming too hard with this idea???

ETA- I will also be making egg bites for the one-handed meal dream but looking to make the burritos for variety.

Women’s hair cut recommendations

I’m looking for a women’s hair cut from someone who is efficient with time, nonjudgemental, who isn’t going to push additional services, reasonably priced (~$60 if wash included), doesn’t overcomplicate things. Thanks in advance!

For reference I used to go to Thuy on Federal and appreciated how efficient and kind she was, never suggesting services I didn’t come for. But I don’t love spending time along Federal anymore for personal reasons (involving a gunshot near miss so hold your comments before you start please).

Bra for weaning stage?

LOL at the flair option!

Hi! My toddler is only asking for mommy milk once a day or once every other day while we are at home and I realize I no longer need to wear a nursing bra! I do love the comfort they provide but don’t love all the lines that show through my clothing. My breasts are small, A cup, used to be perky now a little less so. Any specific recommendations for a small cup? I feel overwhelmed with all the options online and I don’t love what I was wearing before kids in my corporate youth! I’m pregnant at the moment so stretch would also be a great feature in my eyes. So I’ll be back to nursing bras in short order haha Any tips appreciated, thanks in advance!

Natera billing me for NIPT test TWO YEARS after blood draw, anyone else?

I recently received a bill in the mail from the company natera for my NIPT test. The test was taken mid 2024. Apparently there were two different lab services, “horizon” and “panorama”. I paid the horizon bill as soon as I got it in September 2024 and now they just sent me the invoice for the panorama lab service just shy of TWO YEARS after date of service. Are there any protections against this type of delayed/surprise bill in the US? Anyone else experience this? I have emailed them and got their explanation, I’ve counter emailed but… what the heck?! I’m due to take this test again soon, I’m going to be checking if there is an option to utilize another company.
