Smaller Person Clothes at Costco is definitely a pain in the rear end. There have been more than a few times I bought a medium, thinking it'd be okay, but it's like Walmart sizing medium and I could fit a whole nother bagmonkey inside the dang thing if I wanted.

How has everyone's experience been returning cans and bottles? I was behind Guy Who Doesn't Return Cans Ever, and behind me was Boomer Lady Who Really Wants To Chat. Everyone was annoyed to be there, even though the wait was like five minutes tops

you sometimes have to rummage around in the boxes under the pallets of clothes to find smaller sizes. i've had mixed success looking. look at the label and see if it's something that's even carried (M-XXXL; S-XXL; etc).

but yeah good smaller size clothes go very quick but really depends on the area. if you're in like denver or boulder or san francisco bay area or seattle or la, you'll have a hell of a time trying to find any because they don't stock much and go very fast. if you're shopping at say... Branson Missouri and Bumblefuck Arkansas, you shouldn't have a hard time finding any.

i do think its hilarious that they can't tailor their clothe shipments by area. hmm yes consistently having stock 10000x XL-XXXXLs drowning the store in them that aren't selling meanwhile having 0 S-Ms which are clearly in demand, is a good idea instead of ordering a bunch of the sizes that sell.

Sarasota Costco just simply doesn't stock anything smaller that medium. Sometimes there will be smalls and there well be a ton left because nobody buys them besides me. It's how I got 50 or so of those synthetic "cool" shirts for pennies on the dollar, because they had smalls and no buyers.

It's our regional area, a ton of fat boomers.

They did have a special technique they used for the blade grind, pulsing on and off for 1 second so the beans don't just hover along the top, and then shaking to redistribute in between pulses. I thought it was interesting.

Last lobster item I bought was the lobster bisque which was pretty not good. I remember I ended up using it as a sort of pasta sauce to get through it.

I don't have any specific reccomenedations but companies like casper use low quality materials and then pay for cheap advertising like podcasts, they also buy up old review blogs and push their own products to gently caress up any reviews you see online. Your gonna spend a third of your life on that matress and you should expect it to last for a decade at least. Don't cheap out pay for quality.

What bed do you use? All you're doing is saying I've made a bad choice and not really giving any alternatives. Are you talking about a tempur-pedic mattress? If you look into it more, the entire mattress industry is corrupt as all hell.

I'm looking forward to many nights of blissful sleep on this thing. There's nothing wrong with being picky if you have a hard time falling asleep or have back pain or whatever, though.

I love that I was able to get a discount just for being a Costco member.

I am not OP judging your mattress purchases. But I bought a Brooklyn Bedding one when I moved out and I've thoroughly enjoyed it. It's very comfy.

Stropwaffles are loving amazing and I haven't even tried the heating it over a coffee cup method yet.

Saw this when buying the salted egg yolk cookies, they are somewhat spicy, enough to feel a burn after a few seconds that lingers. They're much better then the egg yolk ones.



Also bought the lotus paste moon cakes. Two bites and I was ready to throw the whole thing away rather then eat more. It's serving size says 1/9 for each cake.

I picked up a bag of jerky and somehow it didn't make it to the pantry, it was my secret garage jerky for the last few days. Work a little, grab a little meat snack.

I had to move it inside because it was going quick.

Honestly I love the beds they use at Hilton hotels but the next best bed I have ever slept on was a warn but stiff springy-rear end mattress from like the 60s or 70s with a 3 inch piece of memory foam from Costco on top. Soft but firm.
