Two misfires I purchased from my last trip. The first is Miss Vickie's Spicy Dill Pickle potato chips. They definitely have dill pick flavor and plenty of sour, and are pleasantly spicy, but just do not have enough salt. It's all sour/heat. Not terribly pleasant. The second was an enormous bag of organic seasoned croutons. I can't remember the brand off-hand, but they have an unpleasantly gritty texture and again, are not well-seasoned enough. It's like chewing on bland little sand cubes. To make up for it I defrosted one of the cinnamon butter loaves I had in the freezer and have been eating that all week with a touch of whipped cream. It's real good.

When I got my first apartment I went to one of those discount stores and bought a $10 tool set just to make sure I had a screwdriver and a hammer. Next to it was a $12 set for women. It was pink and smaller. I wish I still had the picture.

Until I tried them I didn't know croutons that were anything but delicious even existed.

If you're thinijng Costo levels of price and quality this is the goon recomended chair: https://www.amazon.com/Alera-ALEEL42ME10B-Elusion-Mid-Back-Multifunction/dp/B003G4OJK4/ref=dp_fod_1?pd_rd_i=B003G4OJK4&psc=1 Dont get version 2! It removes all the adjustments, theres a high back version of this chair too. https://www.amazon.com/Huracan-Repl...50555400&sr=8-7 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M8F9IYC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Total is like 200 bucks and its miles better than anything you find at Costco/Office Depot/ etc... Anything more? Spend the money on Herman Miller or Steelcase.

Go get a fresh baguette loaf, (actually a slightly stale one works better) leave it on your fridge for about 2 days, cut it up into cubes, grab a wok, throw a bit of olive oil in there, mix it around, put in your cubes, add a dash of salt and pepper, toss them around, add a bit more olive oil. Fresh croutons are on a whole other level.

I wish they weren't individually wrapped, but c'est la vie. Plus you can have six of them and it's only like 140 calories or something. Thanks, dark chocolate!

You still might want to travel down their to their warehouse to sit in and try them out though. There's 3 size models of the Aeron, A B and C, and B tops out at comfortable at ~ 6 feet and 220 lbs. I've had some people I know at that size still say the Aeron B isn't really that good for them. But if you're like 5'7'' and 140 lbs it's like being wrapped in cotton.

Had a rough day but I decided to squeeze out a quick Costco trip because I need coffee. Saw some guy struggling by himself with 2 flatbeds with 4 boxes containing that polarizing luvsac couch so I put my (empty) cart to the side and helped him load it into his truck. Finished up, turned around and someone took my cart  Then I got a hot dog and man it's just not the same without deli mustard and onions.

Only thing with the roni pizza is that you need to grab extra napkins and dab up all that grease like you're back in high school.

That happened to me a while back. I got a new car and was cleaning out the old one and found an executive rebate worth like $80, cashed it out no problem.

I thought it was somehow both bland and salty. I eat very little sodium in my diet and therefore anything that has a bit seems really salty to me so ymmv.
