I bought a very expensive robovac (circa $3k) that mops and hoovers. It’s been an absolute game changer.

In reply to Laura Vanderkam. Mopping? What's that?

I liked this episode a lot! I’d love to hear more episodes like this with reader hacks!

Enjoyed this ep – also team no fold. I’d really like an episode of work hacks, your podcast often has sprinkles of work hacks (as well as before breakfast), but it would be great to hear you discuss these in a single episode.

I am late to the party here but just wanted to say I loved this episode. And actually the laundry hacks were really helpful, about keeping one load specific to one person. I am sick of sorting out everyone’s socks…

Re: your muffin comment about a dozen going so fast—I always make a double batch because of this. And I only have 2 kids, but most muffins also freeze well if you end up with too many. It isn’t that much more work to double or even triple. I cook like we have a family of 10 though, so maybe I’m the weird one. ha

With Subscribe and Save, you can easily update quantities and frequencies. It doesn’t have to be a monthly delivery! For instance, our dogs eat about 1.5 huge bags of dog food per month, so I have 3 bags sent every 2 months. Hope that helps some, although I’m guessing I’m being Captain Obvious here!

Another possible solution to the Subscribe & Save vs. warehouse store dilemma — INSTACART! Our local Instacart service covers Sam’s Club. That is what I usually use when I need paper towels, toilet paper, and other household materials. Delivery is always same day, sometimes within an hour or two.

I used to use Subscribe & Save but I often forgot to check and then I’d end up with way too much of something.

I’m also team fold, but I don’t mind folding clothes. I find it kind of soothing and I usually listen to a podcast or watch a show while do it, and my husband usually entertains the kids in a different area of the house while I fold clothes. I do not fold my husband’s clothes, though!

I miss having a cleaning service but my husband has decided to take on all of the cleaning in the house. I keep hoping he will get sick of it!

In reply to Jessica. @Jessica - I hope the no-setting-the-table strategy worked for you guys!
