Impulse bought those mini stroopwaffels that come in the individual serving size packs since they were on sale. Big mistake, they are pretty terrible. I'll ditch them in the breakroom at work.

We have 3/4 of them left in the pantry after about 4 months. They are ok but not great.

Thanks for the info guys, AC+ it is :)

Would you say the $250 off the 16” m1 is worth getting now? I sincerely doubt I’d be gaining anything over what may be on the horizon

My personal laptop right now is a 2017 base model 13” my last work let me keep and it’s slow as gently caress. Current work laptop is a 2019 16” and it owns and I can’t imagine any laptop I get having a need to be faster for Photoshop and stuff haha

Even an MBA m1 would probably clown both your personal even your current work mac in a lot of tasks (my personal m1 air is a lot snappier in multitasking than my work 2019 16" with an i9,) so a base model m1 pro 16" is a great deal at $250 off. Yes, they might announce an m2 pro 16" by the end of year, but you're getting a huge leg up with anything in the m-series.

Well we know the M2 is coming eventually and most people are thinking early 2023.

The M1 is fantastic and yeah the M2 is better but the M1 is really really good

Excellent-- thank you for the extra info and insight! The work laptop is a 16" i7 (versus your i9) so I can't even imagine how fast the M1 will be. Just placed an order, should be here next week :)

Super stoked :D

They were probably talking about the WInix that goes on sale regularly.

https://www.costco.com/winix-true-hepa-4-stage-air-purifier-with-wi-fi-and-additional-filter.product.100662892.html

I have that one and a slightly larger one. They seem to work great. Nice and quiet. Vacuum the pre filter every couple of weeks if the room is really dusty, then swap or wash the charcoal filter every 3 months (or 6. or...when you remember to). Fart next to it to watch the color change and the fans angrily spin up (they also complain about cooking with alcohol. Uncivilized machines)

Thanks for the heads up on this. I've been wanting to grab one of these when they went on sale.

Today I was one of those lucky shoppers that spotted an erronously marked meat department item. Not a huge one, but chicken thighs were $1.29/lb instead of $3.99/lb. Couldn't buy more than a pack without being suspicious, because even at the checkout the cashier was like "hmmmm, and had to manually override". I hope one day i'm one of those lucky few that find lobster tails for $0.99/lb because someone marked them as mussels instead.

picked up the lemon mini cakes a week or two ago (they're only mini by costco size so still probably 2 servings per cake) and they're pretty good. It's a six pack and they freeze well if you're worried about that, close to the frosting/cake ratio I prefer, good lemon flavor.

I won't judge if you eat a whole cake in one go though. I was tempted more than once.

Finally went to the 'co after maybe 6+ months. I picked up my $340 visa return. Spent $270 though. At the last second I remembered to put it on my card for the rewards and not use the cash they gave me.

I left with a 4 pack of pepper spray. I'm not sure why but it was there and WI has the strictest laws in the country regarding pepper spray so I grabbed it. :shrug:

So last week I bought this fan at Costco: https://costcofan.com/costco-woozoo-fan/

It's great and I decided I wanted another one, but when I went a couple days ago they didn't have any. Then I went onto the website and it's not there either. The page still comes up on search engines https://www.costco.com/woozoo-globe-multi-directional-5-speed-oscillating-fan-w-remote.product.100499225.html but the page isn't there.

Is this a thing that happens often? Items just vanishing? Do they ever come back?

MarcusSA posted:

Someone at work mentioned that Costco has pet insurance. Has anyone had any experience with it?

It's a discount from a pet insurance company called Figo. I got a quote for my 5 year old cat and it was more expensive than the Healthy Paws coverage I've had since I got him. That was the extent of my experience.

My experience with Healthy Paws has been great. Earlier this year my cat ate a string and had to get surgery. The total cost was $7000-$8000 and the insurance covered 90% of it.

Yes and its terrible and stupid. They pull the URL for out of stock items rather than keeping them active and "out of stock". When they get more stock it will show up again.

Nice, I see it. https://www.samsclub.com/p/woozoo-by-iris-usa-remote-controlled-oscillating-circulating-desktop-fan-black/P03004134?xid=plp_product_1. Looks like a slightly different model from what the button layout looks like but probably just as good.

I picked up a woozoo last year on impulse. It sits at the end of my desk quietly doing its little figure-eight. My incredibly petty complaint is the beep when you turn it off is too long and too loud.

It’s such a stupid-clever name that somehow forces itself into conversation weekly. People in my house just wanna say “woozoo.”

The one I saw was set up and blowing. It was a white version and I saw you could make it pan horizontally or vertically. It was powerful for being so tiny. It was $30 here.
