Costco sent out notice to members that after November 15, 2023, the online Costco.com will no longer accept Discover cards

Discover often had 5% cash back on purchases from wholesale clubs, so that's a bit of a bummer.

If I have a complaint about Costco, it's that they put their season-related items 4 months before the season.

And more specifically, it's all sold out before the season even starts

Planning ahead is not my strong suit. By the time I decide what backyard poo poo I need for the season, it's gone

My Costco shares a parking lot with a strip mall, and I saw someone walking around spirit Halloween eating a pepperoni slice. 🫡

I like them. I usually eat two though. Still healthier than an entire normal frozen pizza. Usually I’m craving another one when I’m done.

If you eat some accompanying vegetables I think you’ll be good

They're a good snack. I will have them as part of a lunch. I air fry them.

It's still 90 degrees in socal, I won't need flannel until February.


Also it's hard to gauge in July how much my kid is going to outgrow his Halloween costume by October.

Went to church this weekend and they were out of kitty litter. No biggie, I thought, I'll just pick some up from another store on the way home.

EVERYONE is out of kitty litter, especially whatever brand Costco carries. :iiam:

I used to be against Costco putting seasonal poo poo out super early - but we were told the snow shovels are hot ticket items come winter time here so when we spotted them hot and ready out in the aisles this past week we gobbled them up. now I don't have to worry about shovels at all.

thanks costco.

All they can really do is lose money. You're paying a cut to Costco and another cut if you ever want to cash it in for the spot price, and basically another cut if you're not scrapping it directly to a New York refinery. To paraphrase Buffett, gold just sits there and does nothing, it doesn't actively generate value like the businesses behind stocks. It's just speculation, and on average will never beat diversified investments.

I know of one person who made money with gold bars by drilling out parts of the insides, filling them with lead, and selling them to "we buy gold" places who didn't have rigorous enough tests to catch it.
