I bought a thing of peppermint bark to bring to a party this past weekend but ended up not going, so now I have a big container of it. I tried it this morning and it's really good, I have no self control with peppermint things though so I'll probably just binge on it all week til it's gone.

Also I got these little French crepe things that are super tasty. Blessed sugar overload.

Don't you have to pay cash/debit at Arco? I'd rather put it on my card and get sweet, sweet points.

I think it's Arco card price which is advertised, then cash/debit which is like $0.15 more. Always gets my parents when they visit.

No, Arco is cash/debit only, they don’t take credit at all.

Lots of other stations do the “discount for cash” prices though

Fridge delivery update: delivery dudes called about 30 min before arriving, showed up within the previously scheduled 2 hour window, and were super nice on the install and takeaway.

One of the guys pointed out a small dent and noted I could get a whole new fridge delivered or a discount. The phone manager people offered $300 off the price (dent was maybe quarter sized and on the side of the door so barely noticeable), so now we have a new fridge with even better savings PBUC.

They had this popcorn out for samples today. It was kinda bland. :|

Bland is literally the last word I would use to describe Popcornopolis Zebra popcorn but you may have gotten a bad spread of kernels.

You want to get a kernel with just caramel, then a kernel or two with white/dark/milk chocolate. But still - I'm just amazed that someone said this popcorn is bland because it loving blows up my taste buds.

And not to be that guy but I'm a well traveled and experienced cook so it's not like I'm Karen from Ohio trying to explain how food works

I always park as far back as I need to to get a space on the column that has a path in the middle to walk on. The baby boomers that frequent my church do not seem to care about the sanctity of human life and are too busy trying to beat each other to the stoplight one block from the parking lot to notice if there is a pedestrian in front of them. I could evade them just fine if it was only me, but I usually have a 4 year old and an 8 year old with me.

I think the difference is the Kirks come in a longbox?

They were nice and soft when I had a terrible sinus infection last year. Went through like 2 boxes of them at home. Got back to work and the poo poo they had was like the poo poo that Van Damme dipped his hands into during Bloodsport.

I don't think the Kirkland tissues come with the impregnated lotion like Puffs and Kleenex offer. Lotion tissues are life so if I am wrong please let me know.

They are different

They are smoother and not as puffy

When you get down to the last ones in the box they go from white to more and more beige

I think they are a lot nicer than Kleenex or Puffs

They didn't have the lotion version of the Kleenex so I went with the Kirkland's.

There were short and long boxes of both. We've got a bunch of family coming to stay with us so I went with short boxes for everyone.
