inSerious question, did the $40 sheet pan rack from the restaurant supply store on 3rd actually save my Tuesday prep?
Man, I gotta disagree with the idea that the rack is what saved your Tuesday. Fifteen minutes of setup time sounds great but a bent wire rack does not add 45 minutes to your prep, something else was going on there. You said yourself you were still breaking down chickens at 10:45, that is a scheduling or par level problem, not a rack problem. A sheet pan rack just holds pans, it does not chop, season, or cook anything faster. I would figure out why your prep list is running that late before dropping another $40 on a second rack for the walk in. The cheap ones do bend and rust at the welds after a year of daily use, so if you buy another, get one with welded corners instead of rivets. But fix the real issue first.

inAppreciation post: the $3 plastic footstool from a Decatur garage sale that fixed 6 years of desk misery
Same thing happened to me. Spent months thinking my chair was garbage and my back hurt because of it. Turns out my desk was just too tall for my short legs. Dropped it down a couple inches and stuck a old wooden crate under my feet, done. The crate was free and the pain was gone in a week. Weird how one dumb little fix beats a $300 chair every time. Chair people never tell you the desk is the problem.

inStopped printing coupons from the Sunday paper, now I just use the Hannaford app
Seems like everything is going this way now, not just coupons. My insurance guy used to mail me a renewal packet, now I just pull up the app and it's done in two minutes. Same with my bank, the pharmacy, even ordering pizza. The paper version still works but it's slower and you miss stuff. What gets me is the apps know what you actually buy, so the deals are for things you want instead of stuff you'd never touch. That's the real reason you saved $38, it's not that the app has better coupons, it's that it stops wasting your time on ones you'll never use. Your sister probably clips a bunch she never redeems and counts those as savings in her head. Tracking it for a month like you did is the only way to know for sure, and the numbers don't lie.
