Not so much a product per se, but what's the best site to get some deals on running shoes? Some on clearance for an actual good price? I can't justify $60+ for shoes anymore.

I came across https://shoekicker.com and it seems to be alright

Can anybody recommend a winter comforter? Ideally I just want to use a single layer on top of me. If it matters, I have a Leesa mattress (Avena foam on top). I have no idea how to tell good products/companies from bad products/companies.

Go with what colonists swore by to keep warm in Canadian winters.

200 tops? I know that isn't alot for a good chair. I just looked at Steelcase and holy hell thats alot of money for a chair.

Look for them at an office liquidator. You should be able to get a steelcase leap for ~300 in perfectly serviceable condition.

I'm probably in the minority with this advice, but... ditch the undershirt? It doesn't look good with unbuttoned dress shirts and it looks even worse under polos. You can remedy that with a deep enough V-neck but, looks aside, I always find them counterproductive in the summer months. I live in central TX and the thought of actually adding layers -- even one made of a technical fabric -- as the weather warms up... Yeesh.

On the other hand, maybe I'm just weird and don't sweat enough to need/appreciate undershirts.

Letting that hair fly is the right answer. I'm right with you man

I need some new nonstick frying pans and saucepans. Nothing Michelin-rated, but I don't want department store crap, either.

Also, kitchen knives. Same deal as above--I'm not Anthony Bourdain, just a guy who wants something nicer than what's at the store.

I believe the Tojiro DP Gyutou is the current goon choice for an entry level knife. Or the Victorinox 8" Chef's.

Hm... I think I'd rather try my luck with a foil shaver, but thanks for the tip.

Does anyone have any links to reputable product reviews for electric shavers that I can look at? Again, the last time I did research on these things was in like 2009, so some more recent reviews would probably help me out a lot.

This is more of a service than a product, but does anybody have any experience with buying dental insurance individually? My insurance through my employer only covers crowns every five years and I'm looking for a supplement before I go broke. Looks like afac may have an okay plan.

This may be an option for you. When I didn’t have a job I got what was essentially one of those diners club cards. You pay maybe $100 or so and when you go into the dentist you get a discount on work done. I believe mine was around 50% off fillings and minor operations. Google dental discount cards as a start.

I suppose if you can tolerate/enjoy something made by Buzzfeed you can watch that video about them having custom candy made in Japan. Really it's only an issue when they're trying to be funny.

This is the video that made me think of Raley since I was gonna plug them in the comments.

Looking for a custom tailored suit < 500. How is Indochino? Vs say, Men's Wearhouse. I don't know much about suits and I realistically would not be wearing it often.

I’d go with Suit Supply for a quality suit that’s not Men’s Wearhouse

The issue is I need something made to fit because my body is weirdly shaped. Which drives up the price. I have a 48 inch chest, 34 inch waist, and huge butt/quads. Makes any kind of conventional sized clothing fit terribly.

The Suit Supply stuff is <500. The Blue Line especially. If you happen to live in a city that has a store to check them out.

Much like any piece of clothing you just need to make sure the shoulders and chest are ok and tailoring can fix the rest.

Men’s Wearhouse will get you by but their cuts are more boxy and less flattering since they are going for a near off the rack approach.
