Buy some pants at Costco. They got the majority of all sizes from 42 mens to like 29 mens (American) I think.

And the flannels go up to like 3x!

And you are 100% correct.

Not all of them. They still make a lot of 505's in 100% cotton. Maybe Costco only carries the stretch colors? :shrug:

Mug root beer is caffeine free. It’s a Pepsi product, so there’s a chance they’ve got it.


Barq's is the only mass market rootbeer with caffeine. There are some smaller bottlers, like BAWLS, that put caffeine in their rootbeer but it's not terribly common.

It varies from dealer and vehicle used. General consensus is that you miss out on RADSICK DEALZ but save yourself some headache.

In my case, we had a specific vehicle in mind. The CostCo service matched us to a dealer and we were given a contact person to speak with. You're kind of stuck with that one dealer for that one vehicle/brand, so you can't like use the service to shop around your 5 local Honda dealers or whatever. Part of this is because they give you a CostCo Approved pricing sheet that you can take home and look at.
But anyway, in our case we looked at their inventory, emailed back and forth and did a test drive. The CostCo Deal was $800 off advertised price, flat across all cars. They ended up offering us $1,000 more for our trade in that CarMax did, but they wouldn't budge on the sticker pricing of the car we wanted, so it wasn't a case where we could get $500 taken off the price + the $800 'CoDeal. We also qualified for a 0% loan (not costco related), which made it a little easier to swallow.

Finance Guy was grinding but not terrible or abusive. Post-purchase we received a costco survey and, like, $50 off of one accessory purchase (pretty much useless, IMHO).
The survey makes sure the dealer is honest and makes the members feel like they got a fair shake, so it's designed to make sure the partnership actually is somewhat useful.

If you have a vehicle you've narrowed it down to, you can use the service to see if the price the matched dealer offers is competitive with what you see in other places. There are also semi-seasonal deals with the program, but IIRC they mainly wind up being poo poo like "$500 costco card on purchase of NEW 2020 CHEVY EXPLORAGASM 7000"

Yeah, it was a midrange EV BMW i3 so it was already hard enough to get the drat dealers to budge on pricing.

Used i3s are super cheap, tho

Like 20k cheap

This was my confusion when I looked at them the first time. I didn't know there were 505 stretch, and a quick google search for 505 Regular just showed me 100% cotton. I looked at the tag the second time around and the costco 505's have the 1% elastane. They're not wildly stretchy though, just a bit.

Yeah, 1% isn't a whole lot of stretch.

It's even dumber than those listing let on. One of these colors is the normal "stretch" blend: 99% Cotton, 1% Elastane. The other is 88% Cotton, 11% Polyester, 1% Elastane.

Do the flannel shirts run smaller, larger, athletic or normal fit, etc? Like, my button up shirts from Old Navy are large size & regular fit, would a large flannel shirt fit my pre-corpse the same ?

Yeah it should.

I think they have tall sizes too but I’m not sure if it’s that brand or not.

As far as I can tell a large is a regular large no weirdness.

Good sizes and fits for the flannels. I'm an XL tall and its a great fit. I was a 2xl before I lost a few pounds and even then the 2xl fit was great.


Also, the hot dogs are a good fit too.

If they have them try on the voyager brand ones. It’s more like a light coat but it’s super nice too.
