Has anyone done the costco auto program lately? It seems like it's just for inventory cars, but there aren't many of those these days. If I want a specific configuration, can I order it through the costco program?

Just before COVID hit, I went through using a Costco auto discount with a friend and they pretty much knocked a flat $3,000 off a new car that met the spec we were looking for.

The atisanal bread rolls are fantastic, btw. They're small, square, and like a half-ciabatta/half-sourdough taste. Amazing for sandwiches and paninnis.

I love these things and they are super great when fresh and warm. It's an easy combo with the rotisserie chicken, too.

They do need to be frozen because they'll only last on the counter ~3 days otherwise.

There are multipacks of Waterloo seasonal flavors at the local parish, and I usually don't like that stuff but the apple cinnamon flavor is like fizzy apple tea.

Spindrift is awful, their grapefruit seltzer tastes like bile.

Spindrift actually tastes like what it says on the can -- that's why people like it. You picked the lovely fruit, it tasted like lovely fruit, instead of some artist's impression of what flavor might be if they didn't catch COVID and lose all their senses.

Has anyone bought a car through Costco? I really need to get a car and have little time and not a lot of money, and at a glance it looks like they could be a helpful resource. Anyone have experience using them?

I've seen it a couple times. First time they were running a good promo, and it was $3,000 off a car on the lot. Second time, it was only $500 off but for a car that hadn't even shipped from the factory.

It was treated as a reduction in the purchase price of the car instead of cash (some incentives do that instead). This can have small ramifications.

Both times it was also subject to further negotiation if you want to stack other discounts etc.

That could be on the brands them selves. Hasn’t there been issues with some brands not wanting to be carried at Costco?

Sometimes it's an issue where the company insists their products must be sold for $100 or something, and then Costco turns around to sell it for $25 which breaks the illusion.

To clarify a bit, as I learned this the hard way, you can freeze mason jars with straight sides but not ones with the curved "shoulders" at the top.

I freeze any leftover soups in pyrex, which works just fine

I got a Roomba 694 as my holiday party white elephant gift this last year and while I love it, the thing is dumb as gently caress. I feel like I’m constantly rescuing it from “cliffs” or even just because it over corrects when it bumps something and never finds the path down the center. J series worth the investment?

The J7+ empties itself and will send you photos of random things it found and avoided so you can sanity-check its obstacle avoidance. You can have it go vacuum before you wake up every day since it's got a light although it'll do better at recognizing things when it's bright.

It'll literally avoid poo poo if you've got a dog and are concerned about that, too, and avoids eating wires etc

The J7 does a great job, and it’ll clean a lot faster because of the cameras and mapping, too. I don’t know why Roomba can’t make charging contacts that don’t need to be cleaned so damned often, though.

It's a little better than the i-series but still annoying. The little spinny brush actively smears floor debris across the contact which can then get on the dock.

If they gold plated the things and didn't have the brush touch it you'd be fine, but all the docks are backwards/forwards compatible so maybe they don't want to change design spacing.

Brought a Costco apple pie to work for thanksgiving. Someone else had a similar idea with a sams club apple pie. Consensus for those that tried both was that the Costco pie was superior. Delicious tart apples with extra sugar baked in the upper crust to balance it. Excellent purchase.

I chop the pie up and freeze slices to keep them ready to go anytime I want some pie. They're real good.

At my local parish the water sign up people just give you cups of cold water with no pressure. Most of the vendors are playing on their phone. It's pretty good. The solar people are always the worst but still ignorable.
