Notice any real speed drop going from 25 to 38?

Beans and rice carried me through my broke years, no question. People sleep on dry beans because they think it's some sad struggle meal, but a bag costs a buck and feeds you for days. Give it some cumin and hot sauce and you won't miss the meat at all.

Price stuff is so weird because my barber did the exact opposite last year and dropped his cut from 30 to 25 and now he's booked solid every single day. Sometimes going cheaper pulls in way more people and you end up ahead anyway. Losing that one hurts but you might get two new ones who don't blink at 50.
