I was going through my Wal-Mart+ subscription plan that I got for free and I saw their offers. One of which was EMeals, that was a 60-day trial. I thought that this was like Blue Apron or other meal delivery services so I thought I’d take a crack at it and hope that it would get me on a path to eat better.

Turns out, it’s just a meal planner. And it’s absurd to me why and how would anyone pay for something when there are countless and countless recipes and meal planners readily available for free. Who’d the fuck would want to pay for a planner? That’s like paying for a calendar app.

    Not everyone has access to libraries. However anyone with internet access and a device capable of reading ebooks can read for free with libgen, zlib, and sci hub.

      If you have access to the internet you’ll be able to get access to library ebooks. There are some libraries that’ll give non residents access.

          I researched last year and there were several libraries. Unfortunately I didn’t save my results. Check out Reddit heh.

          Which country are you in? In the US, Harris County Public Library in Texas gives free access to basically anyone with an email address.

            US. I looked, only found a link for $40/12m… nothing free unless a TX citizen.

              It’s called the iKnow Digital access library card. Maybe they made it free to get during the pandemic?

              Regardless, $40 seems to be a steal considering the cost of audible and other such services. Paid library cards being offered itself seems like a great service!

        Usually only available to citizens of the same country. I don’t actually know of any libraries that allow access to people who are neither residents nor citizens of the country, but there may be some.
