What creative dupes have yall found for overpriced products?

The sprouting company sells a sprouts growing jar for $100. at base level it’s a fancy mason jar on its side. that’s it. that’s the product… and you can get the equivalent off Amazon for like $25 or make your own for less.

This kind of thing is EVERYWHERE - and I feel like this is the right community to find the logical and actually useful dupes.

The $80 candle that’s wax and a couple drops of oil… “wellness” or prep gear that’s just a normal household item with a label slapped on or some 3D printed cover. Idk how to stop the ads! I know realistically I can’t but I keep seeing things that make me cringe.

what dupes have you found or made? Luxury/prep/kitchen/beauty/anything… I’ve got some spare time after I finish up making this vanilla bean paste 🤣

ok hi, been gone a while.

The quick backstory: I’m ADHD. started tirz, food noise went quiet, ADHD brain noise also went quiet, was honestly doing great for a while.

Then work got insane and stayed that way for months. my brain went looking for the dopamine hit it usually pulled from food, hyperfixating… and my solution was wasn’t great - Merp.

What’s crazy interesting about this medication is what it can help, and what’s also crazy interesting is how it interacts with other “situations”… I turned to alcohol. Which was weird because I hadn’t even wanted to drink for so long since I started Tirz… and now that the stress is down/managed, I’m now onto a super reasonable “not much of any” booze situation.

All of this to say… if you’ve experienced some WEIRD swings due to stress hijacking and effing with you… you’re not alone. Drinking -> eating more… and poorly -> back up ~20 lbs.

So here we go again, no one is perfect and I’m learning more about how I need to not ONLY manage my food intake and habits, but REALLY manage my stress. Because DAYUM does it impact everything.

Happy to be back and happy to be trucking along again with all you beautiful people :)

(I wanted to be stupid/funny and go xoxo Pom, but thought better of it 😅🤣)
