Cheers, thanks! Spent another $150 on top, couldn't resist the Sherpa blanket.

There's music playing at the christmas decoration aisle. It may be something emitted by the displayed decorations themselves.

Had to make a quick trip today, and instead left with a $440 total. Moet was on sale for $32 instead of the $45 it normally is, and the inlaws coming over for Thanksgiving love it. So somehow my partner decided a case was the right amount to buy.

Went in for grapeseed oil and brussel sprouts, left with that and a cheap garbage disposal that was somehow more powerful than the ones we had saw at Home Depot. Got it installed in an hour and it's far quieter than the one it replaced. PBUC. :patriot:

Ugh yall got me hosed up. I now have a sherpa blanket on my couch and my cat loves it.

Also on many occasions I've wanted to go shopping but I knew they were closing so I wouldn't go. Today I went at 5 and they close at 6. But the stream of people wasn't stopping even when I left so... I guess I'm over that.

It's very soft microfiber with a nice thick faux-fleece side that's just as soft. It's also very light for the warmth it provides, and it's a very warm blanket.

And cats love them, though mine only like the fleece side. I bought one and my husband coveted it so much that I bought him his own (though we both know they really belong to the cats).

Edit: case in point, we just got home and found them like this. And they never curl up together, so this is the magic of the sherpas.

Personally, I prefer the Kirkland Select plush blankets to the Sherpas. They don’t have the double layer fleece lining, but they’re insanely soft and warm. And I just bought a king sized one, which is roughly large enough to tent my house.

Next time this happens to you ask them to check the inventory. Better than driving around to find the other stores are out or worse that they have them at the first one but you didn't see them. I went to buy a jack and they found the closest store that still had a couple in stock.

My cats have stolen ALL my sherpa blankets :( So I had to go get more.

And now I have to hide to use them cos they are under the impression that I bought them MOAR sherpas :( Then my husband found the one remaining cat free sherpa and claimed as his own, so I am again, sherpaless, and need to go BACK to get another one. I kid you not, we have at least 10 of the sherpas and I get to use none....

I'm never going to be able to use it in peace with 4 of the buggers trying to claim them...sigh. I really need to find a sherpa hoodie...they don't carry them that I have ever seen at my Costco here.

Only five years? You know you change the brush heads every few months and the handle should last. I think I’m at 11 years on the handle.

There are few things in life I find funnier than looking at 3 premium vodkas that are all lined up for display that are all

A: made from the exact same ethanol
B: from the exact same ethanol plant
C: bottled in the exact same bottling plant
D: that are A-C identical to the bottom of the shelf vodka

Top Wine, in my state, has 3 "house brands" of "premium" vodka they promote. Every single one of them is packaged at USDP in princeton mn using ethanol sourced from the Chippewa Valley Ethanol Company in benson mn. They literally buy it by the train load. Those same "premium" vodkas, made of the exact same ethanol and packaged at the exact same place, compete against multiple "cheap" brands that are also bottled in the same place using the same source of ethanol. You can spend $10 on a 1.75l jug, or $25 on a 750ml bottle, and get essentially the same product. The ethanol plant itself used to market an ultra-premium vodka, but it leaves that to other companies these days.

There is a difference, in sources, if the distributor pays extra for organic crops. Other than that the only difference is "how much does the bottle cost." Sometimes they put it in a glass bottle. That costs you a whole helluva lot extra. For a while the local Costco sold the same vodka as Total Wine and charged something like 40% extra because it was in a glass bottle instead of plastic.

You, quite literally, see two bottles of the same thing displayed next to each other here with like a $2 premium for one brand over the other. Same exact bottle, different label, same product. The more expensive label has stickers saying #1 minnesota favorite. The cheaper version actually has bottles missing from display.

I do stand by these base arguments:

1) Old IPA is bad, please direct yourself to fresh IPA for comparison, no need to believe me. Grab some fresh hop IPA if you get a chance, but again, make sure that it was brewed recently (for fresh hop, no later than 2 weeks after brew, for traditional IPA, within the month of brewing is fine but sooner is better if you have the option). Many breweries put a date stamp on the box or the bottle itself so you can check beforehand, though they've been removing the dates because as more people get wise to the freshness angle, a lot of people have stopped buying the older boxes, which is terrible for business. Now you see a lot of "fresh by" dates which are just a dodge by the brewer to avoid labeling the real manufacture date.
2) Champagne is a scam industry predicated on selling overpriced wine to impress people.
3) Premium vodka is also a total scam. There's info on this online if you wish. Almost all vodka is created using the same method, it's a neutral spirit, so buying the expensive varieties bears no benefits.

These things are not wrong, however my attitude certainly is and it doesn't help anyone. I sincerely apologize and will stop posting here. God bless the church, may you find redemption in a $1.49 polish, WITH refill.
