Oh yeah I remember somebody mentioning watching out for sales on those, I'll have to keep an eye out. Thanks!

Edited this in for easy finding later, thanks! How much flavour does the turmeric add though? Don't think I've seen that in a smoothie before

You might be able to taste it a little bit, it�s not dominant. I like the combination of chocolate and turmeric, though.

Interesting, thanks! I don't think I've ever tried turmeric and chocolate, sounds kinda good

fun fact: tumeric is a strong enough dye that it fucks with biochemical assays, which is why it gets touted as a health food so often: you need serious biochem chops to work with it and the lovely journals will publish anything so lotsa peeps publish stuff w bad methods

Did you have a hard time returning it? I would have spent a day doing the "Why don't I keep it? Maybe they won't notice!" even though I also don't have room in my apartment for an 83" television, just because of ~The Value~. Oh, sure, I don't want or need it, and am risking having some kind of expensive run in with a large company because of it, but ~The Value~ is... so... Valuey.

I believe under the UCC you are legally allowed to just keep the wrong TV they gave you without an upcharge, barring some contract to the contrary.

quote:

� 2-601. Buyer's Rights on Improper Delivery.

Subject to the provisions of this Article on breach in installment contracts (Section 2-612) and unless otherwise agreed under the sections on contractual limitations of remedy (Sections 2-718 and 2-719), if the goods or the tender of delivery fail in any respect to conform to the contract, the buyer may

(a) reject the whole; or

(b) accept the whole; or

(c) accept any commercial unit or units and reject the rest.

The extra value is the enjoyment you get, imagining the next guy rolling back up to returns with a Nutribullet box of potatoes, saying "It was like this when I opened it" and getting just the biggest side-eye you can imagine

Wasn't hard, they apparently had 2 TV's to deliver in my area and had somehow swapped labels, so I called them and they were already on their way back after the other guy raised poo poo over getting the wrong TV

Amazon wouldn't price match me on a set of 2 new twin dell monitors where the price dropped like $100 like 7 days after I ordered them. I talked to a rep and she started arguing with me about the cost of price matching which is something Amazon used to do, and even when I demonstrated mathematically that no, Amazon would not go out of business if they kept price matching, she just kept arguing.

I was pissed off, so I "returned" the monitors while ordering a new pair at the cheaper price, then just sent back 2 old monitors I had instead of the new dells.

A powerful blow struck against the fortunes of Jeff Bezos and Amazon, they are definitely trembling in their market caps.

I mean, our power went out in a severe thunderstorm last night and didn't come back on until an hour ago or so. At any rate, Costco was there for us in our time of need, PBUC.

I don�t know if they�re that bad. We have like 10 of them and we�ve had 1 lid break and we were abusing it pretty well via an overstuffed box with something sitting on top of it. We would have returned it but it was probably past a year and had been outside getting brittle in the sun.

I will say this: if you have a business center nearby they have some that are exactly the same but half the length and those are awesome. You can even stack them on top of the big ones perfectly. A++, would store stuff again

Nah just the plain ones, but they are a MUCH higher quality nut than the ones sold by other supermarkets in Australia.

Is calling church to check stock level on a TV a thing?

Yup, and they can check the stock at other stores in your area too. It's a good idea to ask in case they're low on stock and could sell out before you arrive. There were only like 3 in stock when I bought a TV from my local Costco, but I knew another nearby store would had more, as a backup. Electronics can sell out in a heartbeat.

Freeze them in ziplocs, they will last forever and they taste even better frozen so you'll eat more. Thanks for the reminder that I have them, going to go eat some now.

I bought the little giant ladder on sale for $150 online a few weeks ago and it took forever to ship. Customer service cited demand for it was really high and they didn�t have enough stock. But then I was at my local Costco last week and saw it selling for $180 so who knows.

Agreed, I have like a dozen of them between te big and small sizes and mine are all in good shape. The one that sees the most abuse has my tailgating gear in it and it's fine.

I have a little giant ladder and I hate it. It�s heavy as poo poo and a pain in the rear end to move around.

Mine is several years old so maybe they�ve gotten better but I�d rather just have two ladders, one big telescoping and one small a-frame

Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.

I booked an Alaska Cruise through Costco Travel and the reward card is due 14 days after we get back. Now excuse me it is time for round 5 at the desert buffet.
