I lost $200 on a mileage tracking app before realizing Excel works fine

Back in September I signed up for that popular mileage tracker app everyone raves about. Cost me $200 for the yearly plan. It kept glitching and missing trips, plus it drained my phone battery by noon. After two months of frustration I just started logging my miles in a simple Excel spreadsheet. Has anyone else found that the fancy apps just are not worth the money compared to basic tracking?

Isn't that always the way, paying more for less?

Just paid $9 for a coffee and a bagel at that place downtown. The bagel was smaller than my palm and the coffee tasted like they forgot to clean the pot. You're right, we're definitely getting the short end of the stick these days. Maybe I'll start brewing my own and save the $7 I could've spent on actual food.

Has anyone stopped to think that maybe the bagel shrank because they're using cheaper ingredients now, not just making smaller portions? I mean, if the dough rises less or they cut corners on flour quality, you're basically paying for air that's not even there anymore. Idk, just feels like they're banking on us not noticing the difference in taste and texture.
