Has anyone bought those folios wraps or the egg thins? And if so are they any good?

Don't love the cheese wrap -- it is *extremely* greasy. I ended up melting most over roasted veggies just to use them up.

The egg thins are delicious -- neutral flavor, dry crepe-like texture, and excellent for making rollups. They're my go-to lunch now.

They have what they call a Sherpa hoodie now. It's pile-lined fleece but it is 20 bucks and warm as hell and i am probably not taking this off again until April.

Also got a pair of $40 snow pants and some potato salad. Blessed be.

I have it and its amazing. Been using it as a Winter coat in 10-20 degree weather and it's like a furnace.

Get a used Miele canister vacuum

Got a Miele from Nordstroms online when they were running a %50 off deal.

Hands down the best vacuum I've ever owned. The thing will outlast me and my children.

EDIT: My costco just added the self serve food kiosk lines. Not sure how it will pan out, when I was there no one was in line and the person told me to just go up to the register.

First time I used the kiosk, I stared at all the options with choice paralysis despite knowing the entire menu by stomach.

Second time I ordered my slice of pizza and paid for it by walking past without stopping. I think they’re great.

It may have been mentioned but this Dewalt tool kit is a great deal. Ordered it last night, I finally get to replace my mismatched collection of sockets from half a dozen toolkits. Compared prices at Home Depot, Lowe's and my local Ace...this beats them all for a comparable sized set.

What's nice about this kit is that the piece count is mostly sockets and wrenches. You'll see some kits that are 250+ pieces but half of them are screwdriver bits.

I'm a little late to vacuum chat, but I picked up that Shark Navigator at the beginning of the year. When I rolled up to the checkout the cashier and her assistant both started in on how much they loved it. I am firmly in their camp as well after nearly a year of use in a one bedroom apartment. I've had no issues, no complaints, just good clean suction. Probably the best vacuum buy I've made in the last few years (moved states 3 times, no way I'm taking a $100 vacuum with me each time).

Is this instore/cheaper instore? I vaguely remember seeing something similar but I don't remember if it was this specific one.

I noticed a lot of times the web store has "free shipping" but the prices are $10 higher than instore.

How is the potato salad? Every time I see it I think, ‘hey, I could go for some potato salad,’ but then my brain reminds me that 95% of the time store-bought mayo-based salads have about nine pounds of sugar in them and taste like overly sweet garbage, so I never buy it.

There is a Costco a block from my office, and since I’m moving to the area it will soon be close to home as well. Let’s see how long it takes for it to destroy any drive I have to bring lunch to work once I move.

It's my go-to product at Costco, I never leave church without it. That being said it's pretty sweet so maybe not for you. When I first started buying it it was five bucks but now it's 7.50 so it might not be something you want to roll the dice on because it's a lot. The container is excellent for holding my kids Legos or, presumably, other things though so it serves a dual purpose for me. My basement is filled with potato salad tubs full of Lego.

BTW someone asked about that air fryer. I don’t have a frame of reference but it seems nice enough and I’m enjoying using it on various frozen foods like mozzarella sticks and mini egg rolls. I was in a hurry and nuked a couple mini egg rolls in the microwave as a snack and it was gross after getting used to the air fryer.

For $50 I don’t see where you could go wrong. I got another one as a gift for my sister since they’ve been looking for one as well.

So real good suction and build quality. The ability to turn it into a handheld hose vacuum is real great for my apartment with little nooks all over.

However the floor brush has really protruding brushes and just rips into the carpet too much. Like the motor bogs down swiping at the carpet fibers. Maybe just a few uses will soften up the brushes a bit.

That said yeah pretty good and better than my old POS knockoff dyson.

Turns out, is good. It sucks good. I hucked my $30 dust devil into the loving garbage. A good vacuum is worth some money. Not Miele money, I don't think, but shark money sure.

My floors are clean. My carpets are clean loving hell there was a lot of construction debris and poo poo hiding in them. They sure looked clean. They weren't.

It’s like kramering in and saying accord/civic sucks rear end and if you want a REAL car like a real man you have to drive a Bugatti, no exceptions.

who cares it gets the job done getting from A to B well and cost effective, a $100 shark is extremely good bang for the bucK

The only thing I really liked about the cheap Hoover I had before was the cord was retractable with a pedal and drat that was nice having it win up in 3swconds. I’m guessing they must have a patent or something

I need a new vacuum. How is it?

My shark Navigator is fantastic, really well designed and functional, light and powerful. I love that i can detach the brushes to make a portable hand unit or unplug the handle for a wand and that the dust canister opens from top AND bottom. My only complaint is that the attachments are kind of inconveniently in the way on the handle and easy to knock off but I set them aside anyway so the unit is even lighter. Really easy to vacuum the stairs with it. I highly recommend them

Are these vacuums good for large floor spaces and couches with dog and cat hair? I would like to reduce or preferably eliminate using a wire hanger to unclog the lines after several uses.

Two dogs, two cats, relatively large house: it's a beast and hasn't clogged in six years. Granted mine are all relatively short haired and we have a room a going most days but it's been a champ. It's easy to move around too

Cuz life sucks, kids. Get it while you can.

We have the Shark from Costco (it’s probably 6 years old at this point) and it’s great, although the insides do get clogged every 6 months or so thanks to our golden retriever. Luckily it’s super easy to clean, takes maybe a minute to pull out the hair clumps from all the various holes.

Yeah, that’s pretty much exactly why I never got it - it’s a lot of food that I may blanket dislike, and as my entire family is used to non-sweet salads I couldn’t even fob it off on them. Sounds good if you do like that style though, and LEGO storage would be appreciated oh god where am I putting these so they don’t break in the move.

Went for a floor mat. I got that at least. But I also got some soft LED bulbs, Fiber gummies, car and bathroom air fresheners, and fish oil.

Didn't get the dog. :( I was going to but there was a sandwich place nearby that I was going to go after but then realized I had to go to the grocery store so I just picked up some spring rolls and sushi instead.

edit: oh, and a fire extinguisher for $15. I've been eyeing one for a few years but finally got it. There was one here when I bought my house 4 years ago but I have no idea how old that is and I hear they have a shelf-life.
