Still a ridiculous amount of packaging though. I kept one of the little bottles from when I used to buy it at Meijer and just unbox/punch out the pills and stick them in it.

I don't wanna be alarmist or anything, but some of that packaging is actually because the FDA has guidelines for the packaging of drugs that may be sensitive to light, sensitive to exposure to air and what not. If you rebottle your medicine, maybe check with your doctor to see if the medicine doesn't mind being repackaged? Just to be sure.

gaba rice is tasty, and the fancy zojirushis make it easier, but you don’t need anything more than a bucket and some water to make rice sprout

I use Primis which offers free checking with 5% interest. They refund your ATM fees too. Pretty good unless you need in person banking.

Most places will carry like 82% I think… for the strong stuff, you should go to an electronics store or Amazon (where I get it). They have 99.99%

The TLA for isopropyl is IPA.

Oh lol I thought it was a typo.

yeah I buy isopropyl off Amazon they have their own brand of 99% and it's cheap enough to buy a case of it

Edit: woah the price went way up.. when I last bought it, it was 22 dollars shipped for twelve 16 oz bottles now the price is 43 dollars.

The Kirkland IPA is the worst IPA I've ever tasted, so I assume it is made of at least 50% isopropyl.

I do resin 3D printing, so I buy 99% IPA off Amazon.

Last time I ordered I got 4 gallons for like $70

Same but I'm in Canada and Costco is still the cheapest place for me to grab 99% stuff.

Apparently buying it from a farm supply store is cheaper, but I'm a thin wristed city slicker so idk

Any Chicagolanders spot the Kirkland XO rum at their place? I’d make a trip to pick some up.

Kirkland XO Cognac is maybe the smartest booze move out there if you’re into cognac or kick rear end cocktails. I’m hoping for a repeat performance.

The 30 day price adjustment rule is so goofy. Bought the Winix air filter 33 days ago and it went down by $30. Wouldn’t do it. Guess I will just return it and buy a new one

Thank u for saving me the post.

Also yeah that's weird when a price match window is shorter than a return window. They're just begging you to cost them more money.

Just returned from a mid-afternoon Church visit.

Grabbed a bag of dark chocolate coconut almonds. They are holy gently caress dangerous. Also grabbed a giant thing of laundry detergent, a box of strawberries, a bag of that sweet heat trail mix, and 4lbs of raisin bran. Brought that out to the car and then headed back for 3 bottles of Kirkland vodka. Only the finest liquor for this guy.

2nding the kirksig cognac.
My go to drink is the French Connection. That’s cognac and amaretto. If you’re not used to cognac, try it 1:1, then on subsequent occasions work your way towards 2:1. Pour over a few ice cubes.
