I just use the giant jars of garlic bits. People complain that you need to use more garlic to get the flavor so I just use more

Jar garlic is loving gross. Also usually loaded with sugar.

if you're closing in two weeks it will not matter in the slightest what you do to your credit right now

Please do not listen to this person.

Your mortgage company will absolutely gently caress you if you do this.

They see you opening a new line of credit right before closing the mortgage as you not having enough capital to close on and furnish your house. Opening a new line of credit will at the very minimum introduce a bunch of chaos as you frantically explain to the bank why you did it.

At worst, it will kill your rate lock, push back your closing, or very worst case you will not get final approval for the mortgage.


Also be aware you’re likely going to take a 30-50 point hit on your credit the second you close. At 800+ I doubt it’ll impact your ability to open a Costco card, but still. Just wait till the day after or the day of closing.

So I went to church in tetoboro, cause it’s supposed to be nice.

And it is. But Bergen county has these weird fuckin blue laws where you can’t buy housewares or clothes on sundays.

Do they also still have the no alcohol sales before 2 pm on Sundays or something too? I worked in Teaneck at a restaurant forever ago and was so confused by the blue laws.

Nope, alcohol is sold 12-6.

quote:

Bergen County’s blue laws restrict the sale of certain goods on Sundays, forcing all department, mall and most retail stores to close for the day. Everything from clothes to furniture to appliances are off limits. The laws date back to the 1600s, originally stemming from religious beliefs, and became part of New Jersey’s “Act to Suppress Vice and Immorality.” Over the years, there have been attempts to overturn the laws, but strong opposition to traffic in certain towns thwarted those efforts, leaving Bergen County as the last county in America with such heavy Sunday restrictions.

Never seen anything like it before. Especially in the northeast 5 miles from NYC.

I've been eyeballing a 65" LG C1 for a while now and heavily contemplating it every time I visit my local store. But now I'm at a crossroads.

Online and in stores it's $1599 but says the price expires 7/4/2022. Knowing that the C1 is a discontinued product from LG and stores are trying to clear existing stock, do I get it now or see if the price goes down for some 4th of July sale?

It’s this price everywhere right now. The “deal” is you get the 5 year insurance bullshit.

I don't understand customer service some times.

I had a 65" tv delivered by Costco June 10th. It's great. I love it.

Yesterday they started offering a $150 costco card with purchase of said TV.

Since I'm 3 days PAST the 30-day price match, they won't honor it.

However, they will let me return the TV, come pick it up from my house, and deliver a new one with the costco cash card.

Sorry that sucks, but thanks for the heads up.

Going to Costco today to price match that.

Also some of that Japanese bbq sauce you guys were talking about.

The Japanese BBQ sauce is excellent. Bachanns or something.

Anyone have opinions on these beans?


If they don't have a roast date, I don't recommend them. Grocery store beans generally are bad because they're old as hell.

You generally want roasted within the last month or so for a bag that big.

Take this opinion with a coffee snob grain of salt.

Counterpoint. Costco has a small selection and the product there moves quick.

Doesn’t matter. It could sit for months before hitting shelves because of how companies purchase and move stuff around.

Coffee starts to taste stale after 8 weeks max, and is gross after a few months. Most grocery stores don’t like putting roast dates on bags for this reason.

I personally would never buy a bag without a roast date, and a bag that size never more than 1 month old.

But again, snob.
