Thanksburec I have reusable Ziploc bags! They're a game-changer. Thicker plastic, so way more durable

So I just got my annual escrow review for 2020 and it says I’m getting a check back of about $1300 Now I know why that is, as I switched my house insurance midway through the yr and saved about that much.
