Oh hell yes, that is exactly what I want. Thank you! I hope I can make it happen. What was the food court like there?

They had a really good bbq chicken pizza.
Don't miss the fried egg chips (bag smells like farts when you open it but they're amazing)

They also have armed guards at the jewelry counter and the cash register, which is kinda weird.

I bought a $25 bidet on Amazon and it's been fine. My house water has really high pressure so I have to use a soft touch on the dial else I get paint-stripping pressure wash on the balloon knot.

Also I don't mind the cold water because I live in the desert and also I'm a tough guy. Tough guy with a clean brown eye

My kids collected about 2 gallons of candy each at my office (going cube to cube is even faster than door to door) and then doubled their take on Halloween. At 2 pieces of candy a day that will take months to work through.

There's a street in my neighborhood that blocks off traffic entirely and all the homeowners there go nuts decorating, blaring music, and having potlocks. It's awesome.

Xaris posted:

was about the same as last year. kids go fuckign crazy for zots and warheads, it was really cute. really want to do more off the beaten path candy next year. everyone is probably already loaded with snickers and m&ms and skittles

90% of the candy my kids got is from the costco candy bags.
I should order something weird to make it interesting for the kids that trick or treat at my house

Costco has 3 packs of Pokemon card collector tins for $22 on clearance.
Each has 4 boosters in them, so a total of 12 packs in each. My kids are really into Pokemon now and that's a crazy price when boosters usually go for $4-5/each.

They are so good. I got a 10 year old used one for $200 on craigslist and it owns bones.

Nthing the Roomba recs. They're not good for a good, deep cleaning of your home. If you have a quality vacuum, it'll work better every single time. They are, however, great for zero effort surface level spot cleaning throughout the week, especially if you have pets or children.

As long as my kids keep leaving legos on the floor, automated vacuuming will never replace a regular vacuum with a skilled operator (me) in my home.

Furniture is really seasonal. They generally stock it in July and January around here.

Did anyone ever shop at the Costco furniture store(s)? They had one in Kirkland (!), WA, but it closed about a decade ago. It was really neat to have a year round furniture store with big selection and Costco-ish pricing, but the selection seemed really targeted towards the McMansion crowd.

The McMansion crowd is exactly Costco's demographic. Not me, I'm a sophisticated connoisseur of all beef hot dogs and almond based spreads.

One of my coworkers got her AC replaced with a costco deal, and it included a $1600 costco cash back.

This was in the form of a check that could only be redeemed at Costco, for a drug dealer wad of cash. The customer service agent told her that after this month, they'll no longer be doing the cash-outs, and will instead put that on a gift card or something.

Bogus!

The chicken salad they make with the rotisserie chicken pairs nicely with a huge box of croissants from the bakery. It's a great way to feed a lot of people fast, cheap, and well.
