I think Best Buy has actually done a really nice job of staying fresh; I've been totally satisfied by all my recent experiences there. I'm someone who has more money than time, though, and so it's nice to be able to go there in a hurry for a project and get everything taken care of same day.

Costco has been a really elegant solution to "where should I get this thing I think I need?" because whatever they source is usually GOOD ENOUGH quality and I don't have time to be suckin' the Wirecutter's dick and ordering something that mysteriously has gotten a 30% price increase from Amazon every other day after it gets recommended AND if it turns out I don't actually need it the return policy is really, really good.

Krispy Wafer posted:I just left Costco. I needed dog food (great value and quality - meat is the first two ingredients) and left with so much stuff that I have not one, but two different kinds of extra virgin olive oil. Costco ranks in the top 2 for EVOO quality BTW. Their single-origin Tuscan region extra virgin olive oil is cold pressed immediately after the olives of a single region are harvested. Because the olives are all from the same region, there's a unity of taste that isn't present from other blended oils (some of which use olives of various ages from hundreds of miles apart!) I assure you that the aforementioned oil is good enough to eat on its own, let alone cook with. At around sixteen dollars for a liter, it's the finest oil I've ever purchased, be sure to try some soon!

Dieticians and outdated food science from the 80's go together like whole milk and frosted flakes. Oh no! Dietary fat!

Krispy Wafer posted:Yep. I think the RJR Nabisco hostile takeover used that method. Now companies have safeguards and poison pills to prevent it from happening, but it changed how companies handled their balance sheets. I'm not entirely clear on the details, just that American companies are more likely to plow their excess cash into mergers or investments (stock buybacks). I read somewhere that the entirety of the airline industry in America taken in for the length the industry has existed has yielded an overall negative return.
