if you are buying a half million dollar diamond, doesn't getting the 20% off costco discount version kind of defeat the purpose? you are supposed to be showing off your wealth, spending less just makes you look like a chump

I wish.

Every cup has a qr code on it, and you have to scan your cup to get a soda. It dispenses exactly one cup worth of liquid, and if you try to go back a second time it doesn't do anything. In addition, the sign says hotdog and soda, nothing about a refill.

So many people were having problems getting it to work right, and I have no idea why they thought it was a good idea. The cost of that system must have been several years worth of savings from not allowing normal self serve drinks.

that is a highly dumb system. i used to work in fast food, and a saw what the cost of soda syrup was. an individual drink refill has a cost of like $0.02. why would you piss off people to save $0.02 :psyduck:

I absolutely agree with what you were saying, was just rushed to type up what I said and made a general statement. Its a lovely cycle to break out of.

I also will say that Costco's non bulk stuff is absolutely marketed towards upper middle class, which is cool cause they've gotta make extra cash somehow but if you were to shop on Costco to a budget you have to pretend those areas of the store don't exist.

costco also doesn't have "cheap" generic brands. they have Kirkland, but thats usually high end stuff in large quantities. to make the most of your grocery buying dollar you need to do half your shopping at Costco and half at No Frills.

The expensive Gillette razors are $10 off right now, that's literally the cheapest I've seen them in years.

Also, I picked up a nice insulated cooler bag for 10 bucks... I find that my milk lasts longer when I use a cooler to get it home.

fancy razors are the biggest scam. just get a pack of 10 disposables from the dollar store, they work the same

Shaving is different for everyone; I've been doing it for 30 years now, so don't tell me what works for me. Why not just get an electric, and stop buying razors all together? Because electrics don't work for me.

My beard is very thick, and cheap razors get duller with every stroke. The expensive razors last much, much longer. Also, I shave my head, so I have a lot more surface area to cover then most men.
Protip: don't change your razor out just because the lube strip is shot, change them out when you can feel them getting dull.

Lol if you think gillette razors are some how sharper than the ones from the dollar store. its all in your head. There is a reason fancy razors has to be marketed constantly and agressivly, they do not sell themselves on their own merits.

My dog has Addisons Disease and the best treatment for him is a drug called Percorten. If he doesn't get this drug once a month, he will die. There has been a factory issue and Percorten is incredibly hard to find, and is out of stock nearly everywhere.
But when I asked Costco Pharmacy, they found some and had it filled 20% cheaper within a single day. Which is really good because my dog needs a new dose in 2 weeks.
