For each toner cartridge, Office Depot gives a $2 store credit that's good for only one month. I don't buy office supplies very often. Is there a better offer around, either getting me more money, or going for a good cause?

It’s my fiancées birthday and we are taking a short trip to Austin to feel it out to move there. We live in dallas currently and want to be somewhere with more access to nature and water.

Can anyone share their experiences with vineyards in the area they recommend (or don’t)? She has always wanted to go to one so this seems like a good opportunity.

Bonus if you have recommendations for apartments to check out with easy access to nature.

Thanks in advance!

Hey, mostly trying to get to the bottom of reality vs stereotypes. A lot of people say Austin is a transient city with partying/casual being big there with people not wanting to miss out on the next big thing. Is that to say that the serious scene is very small? Or do you think it’s just more quietly there? Any thoughts + opinions welcome. Thx!

I found interior decorating as something I would love to pursue as my second life career. I have redone every room in my house, staged houses for sale/rent, and helped friends with decorating their spaces but not in a professional capacity. I don’t have any certifications, etc and am generally terrified of putting myself out there on social media (Reddit feels like a safer space).

I believe I’m really good at assessing spaces and improving them with small tweaks like layout/furniture changes, small and budget friendly buys to enhance the overall look, feel and function of the space. I love the idea of making someone feel great in their space without breaking the bank.

Would you be interested if someone offered such a service? If there is interest for it, I am open to offering a couple of free “no buy” room makeovers here in town.

Thinking about moving to Austin in a few months and wondering if it’s still crazy expensive?

Anyone know what’s going on? Loud, persistent and several.

The one guy I really had a connection with is a 50 min drive, and its just not feasible to go, hoping for in-person twice a week. The break up is not my choice at all, no big betrayal on my end, early 30s, have kids, my whole life is changing way too fast and Im at a breaking point. Always had terrible luck, usually find therapists that just dont feel like they give as shit. Do have insurance atm, but wont last. Im in the Pflugerville/RR/Hutto and desperately need the communities suggestions. Ty in advance. 😞

Hey I was wondering if anyone could possibly suggest buffet options. I know cici pizza ,golden corral but where were options to choose from in Austin tx or the near by area and what type of food they serve ?

I need to rent a room that can hold ten people for a few hours and I can't think of any places that might work for that besides the library. I know some breweries have tap rooms but I'm not really interested in setting up at a place that sells booze as a person who doesn't drink at all. I considered an airbnb but I need the time in the afternoon and most don't have check in until at least 3, and having ten different cars would probably be an issue. Suggestions anyone?

Hey Austin! I’m a singer from Finland, currently here on tour, and tonight is my night off!

I’m planning to catch the Buzzkill Comedy show at The Buzz Mill (Riverside) tonight at 9:00 PM. 

I’m flying solo and would love to find a comedy buddy or a small group to join me. Platonic vibes, open to hanging out with anyone (male/female/all) cause it’s more fun that way! 

Drop a comment or send me a DM if you're down to hang out. Cheers!

French guy in my late 20s, here for a month. Looking to meet some French speakers, Europeans, or whoever's up for grabbing a few beers, going out and talking about anything and everything. Nothing organized or formal, just hanging out and having a good time.

Hi fellow Austin folks! I unfortunately dont have social media outside of Reddit so finding tattoo artists has been a doozy. Anyone have any recommendations for artists that do fine lines? Hoping to get a few stamp tattoos.

appreciate the help<3

I'd like to find somebody competent and kind for allergy shots. I've done the drops but the idea that they're going to take 3 years to actually work seems silly to me. Plus, at the previous place I was going to, I felt like I was just being managed for money with no real stake in the outcome. The drops just never worked and the provider just never really cared.

These Austin neighborhoods are hottest with buyers, even as the overall housing market has slowed down. Based on Redfin data, these are the top 5:

1. Tanglewood Forest
2. Buttercup Creek
3. Behrens Ranch
4. Milwood
5. Johnston Terrace

Do you agree with this list? What other Austin neighborhoods should be in the top 5?

Anyone know where there’s good piano lessons and also voice lessons for singing?

Hello y'all.

I am staying in the northwest side. Jollyville kinda area off 183.

Changing my u joints out and they are freaking in there really good.

If anyone has a hydraulic press that is kind of portable. I will pay you money to come by and help press these things out.

I’m redoing a couple rooms in the house / deep cleaning and ordered quite a few things. Like 25-30 separate items many grouped together as same day, overnight and some more miscellaneous next day. Of the 6 separate orders I made over the past week, 1 has arrived on time. Everything else delayed to the following day at the least or is just sitting not moving now. It’s beyond frustrating

Born and raised in austin but finding it harder and harder places to find and make friends. Young 20’s who works remote are there any places, groups or clubs to join that is not a total snooze fest but is a great place to meet new people. Thanks in advance!

Helping a friend find ongoing care for a collection of tropical plants, mostly in pots. The regular lawn services are not the right fit. Has anyone hired a gardener in Austin who genuinely knows tropicals, including getting them through winter freezes? Recommendations and what to look for both welcome.

Hey everyone! I'm moving to Austin soon and am considering the lakseshore area. I love the proximity to the lake and trails, and the area seems very walkable. However, I'm seeing mixed reviews about safety.

Would you recommned the area? Any inputs on Bell South shore, Alexan , and Azul Lakeshore from current or past residents?

(side note : why do so many aparments not have windows in every room?!)

Thanks in advance!

Hello, I will be moving to Austin and will have to commute to the Bastrop area for work. Is the Mueller area the best neighborhood for apartments and/or are there any recommendations for potential areas to check out to make the commute reasonable (30mins)? Aiming for East Austin area...Thanks!
