inUpdate: 10 months of only canned soup for lunches, my grocery bill finally dropped
Canned chicken in half of them is smart, I do the same swap.

inChanging my tune on city bike lanes after a rainy Chicago commute
Ha, I'm on the opposite side of this one. Those concrete barriers in Wicker Park just made the parking situation worse for everyone else and they didn't even stop delivery trucks from blocking the lane. Checked the crash numbers last year and they barely moved, so it feels like a lot of money for a nicer looking bike ride.

inSpent 6 months doubting our CSV import tool, now it saves us 3 hours a week
Swear I did the same thing with our billing system last year. We had invoice templates built in that I never touched because I figured they'd mess up our branding or miss some custom field we needed. Then my bookkeeper went on leave for two weeks and I had to send out like 40 invoices solo. Took me an hour to realize the template already had everything, even the client-specific notes I thought we'd have to type by hand. That hour turned into like 10 minutes and I've never gone back. It's funny how we assume the stuff we already own is gonna be worse than the manual way we've always done it. Now I just tell people to actually test the feature before they trash it, worst case you lose a lunch break, best case you get your evenings back.
