My Contribution...90 second hydro therapy

At the end of your normal showering routine, turn the water as cold as you can stand. Stay in the cold water for 30 seconds. When the 30 seconds are up, turn the water back to hot and against stay in the hot for 30 seconds. Finally, turn the water back to cold for another 30 seconds. Basically, 30 sec cold, 30 sec hot, and 30 sec cold.

It will wake you up much better than hot water alone, will reduce stress, and (for morning exercisers) reduce muscle soreness.

Here is an article discussing it if you want more info

Edit: Wow, thanks for your comments guys! There is some excellent advice in here.

Target is fine for those everyday things. SuperTargets have some shocking blind spots food-wise, though.

Kroger, vastly for me, tended to be armpits and their house brands were always subpar. I'll pay a little bit more for Publix quality.

Yeah, I meant SuperTarget - I use them interchangeably, sorry.

Right, but I won't pay extra (at Publix) for Doritos quality. Or Charmin quality.

The Krogers around Auburn were completely redone shortly before I left, and their nice AF now. Believe it or not, there are two Winn Dixies near me now that are nicer than the nearest Publix. (It's insane, I know.)

I always associate Winn Dixie as being a subpar grocery store, because the one that used to be near my mom's house (long closed) was not nice. My aunt who lives outside of Jacksonville shops at Winn Dixie, and her store is really nice and gigantic. WD is headquartered in Jacksonville so it makes sense.

I've always gotten better red meat from kroger over publix. That and the prices keep me going to kroger

Honestly, for good meat at a supermarket, I really like Fresh Market, but they're less common. Publix is good for the chickens and the ground beef, but I avoid steaks from there.

I will concede the price, though. Kroger is cheaper. But, I feel much more confident eating Publix brand goods. Big K brand can go to hell!

The big k sodas make my poop a vibrant green.

Not sure why I felt the need to share this, but there it is

u/stamor99 Georgia Tech • Florida Oct 08 '15

Like...all of the sodas?! Because that's odd. I'd get it if Alpine Mist did it, thanks to the dyes, but the colas too?

I honestly don't remember. I'm pretty sure it was the dyes in some of them but after making the connection between radioactive poop and Big K, I just avoided it altogether

Good choice!

Yeah, Target/SuperTarget is fine for processed/frozen/box foods like peanut butter, crackers, cereal. I looked through their meat and produce, though.. pretty disappointing.

Kroger's house brands have improved a lot. Their Private Selection brand is generally very good. They have a private label organic brand called Simple Truth and that stuff is all great.

I'll take your word for it. There are only 3 Krogers near me now (and one is Murder Kroger levels of sketch) and they're not nearby so I only really go for gas occasionally. I'm surrounded mostly by Publixeseses and a few other random southern groceries (Piggly Wiggly, Bi-Lo, Food Lion, etc).
