Nothing wrong with squeezing all the value you can out of your membership

if your not going thru the workers serving samples multiple times, then you're not using your membership correctly

Samples are for non-executive members who don't already know what they want

Paul MaudDib posted:yeah it's great if you can stack it with sales too. Actually I believe the returns are pro-rated, where you receive the money back for the item minus $5 (if you bought 5/save $25), if I'm remembering right. Which is perfect for me because then I get the discount on the items I want and return the rest! Also, big same on wardrobe from Costco. Like 1/3rd of my wardrobe is from there now, as I was WFH for 2 1/2 years and now only in office twice a week and Costco have cheap, comfortable clothing that doesn't fall apart and seems to fit me pretty well for the most part. The Buffalo jeans are on sale right now and like $13? $15? if you buy in bulk, they have been pretty nice for cheap office jeans, they seem to be getting more Eddie Bauer stuff too which I love and I just picked up some Sketchers slip ons for $25 before discount off the website, which I love as house shoes so far So if you missed out in store, pop online and pick up a few and get that sweet rear end discount folks. Costco's website is mediocre as hell but there's some pretty solid deals on there

I was so happy a couple years back when Kirkland started making dress shirts, then was so sad to find out that they fit weirdly on me.

So I bought the kimchi with no g's. I kinda changed my mind on it, the Jongga is tastier but this one is fizzier and spicier and actually gets quite good after you leave it alone for a while. I grabbed the one that had the soonest expiry date.

No, it’s not a typo and looking into it that’s where the etymology of the slur actually comes from. The More You Know

I’ve been to Seoul when I was in the Navy and never knew that (awesome place for a goon because they had an Internet cafe on every block). As penance for my and my fellow servicemembers’ collective ignorance, I’ll go buy a Jongga.

Personally I am not a fan of the fizz and poke a hole in the top of my Jongga (TOWTG) but I respect your preference

but in turn western influence on the seoul accent (the prestige accent) has decreased that half aspiration quality to the point that if you listen to north korean broadcasts, which affect the old seoul accent for legitimacy reasons, they sound materially different from a modern seoul accent

Yeah, it was like there was somehow too much fabric in the collar and neck area, it was all poofy and the collar made huge loops around my ties when buttoned. It's a problem I've never had with other shirts. I guess it would fit if you were super fat with really droopy shoulders.

After I finished that one I went back a month later and the next container was super funky. Maybe somebody put it on a shelf at room temp for a while before returning it to the fridge.

The only reason I poo poo in public bathrooms is if it's an emergency. Or I'm getting paid. I'd have a morning dump most days in the bathroom attached the the parking garage at Google. Only because there was one stall down there. And if you walk in and someone else has it (because they have the same idea), come back in 15 minutes and check. Those goons had really smelly shits though. It was worth it to poop in peace.

As promised I finally tried the Jongga, bought a tub and cracked it open in the store to use on my dog in lieu of other condiments: It's solid I guess, and lots of flavor for being low carb. We'll see if it improves with age. Smugworth posted:Jongga (TOWTG) gets plenty fizzy if you screw the cap on tight and leave it to sizzle for a month or two in the fridge What y'all should have mentioned, and I found out the hard way, is if you DON'T crank the cap down super tight, it will make your entire fridge, or in my case my entire car. stink of garlic and vinegar. Just finger tight isn't enough if you can squeeze the sides a bit and still catch a whiff.
