Let me tell you how Costco gave me $90, yesterday:

A couple months ago, bought a laser printer for $389. Then yesterday, I saw they had it on sale for $299. Damn.

Paid for my stuff, on the way out there was no line at customer service, so I stopped. I asked if Costco had price adjustment... Honestly didn't know. He looked up my purchase... But then apologized, it has to be within 30 days. But then he taught me the work around... I asked him if that was a little dishonest? He said no, corporate doesn't care, and he himself did it with patio furniture, recently. So I did what he said...

I went back into the store, and bought another printer at $299. Paid, walked it directly to customer service, and the same guy did the return for the $389 price I paid 2 months ago.

$90 for 10 minutes of effort.

If your wife is always cold, go to Costco and get a few Sherpa Throws. Best blanket that has ever been, or ever will be.

I have 3 individual ones, two queen sizes, and one king. They're all over the house.

You haven't seen the size of the king sized blanket. It's big, even for a king sized bed. You could house about 6 full grown male Honduran migrants under it.

Thanks for the X-Mas idea.

Went to a restaurant tonight and all salads were iceberg due to the lack of romaine.

Tried costco Compari tomatoes tonight, out of despair of not having a good grocery store tomato, even from Costco.

Damn, these are 85% as good as a garden tomato. They're small, but worth it.

What irritated me the other day is that they do everything big... so they don't sell Twin bed sheets. Plenty of Queen and King, but now Twin. That's just crazy. It isn't like they're selling sheets in bulk.

Clarification: they had one set of twin sheets, but with a cartoony pattern for a 6 year old. My 13 yo wouldn't have liked that.

Oh well. He can live with Walmart sheets.

Continuing the bed/costco motif....

I woke up today in a bed that wasn't mine. Figured I'd knock out the Costco list on my way home, first thing. I got there five minutes before Google said they were open. Parking lot was packed, and people were already coming out with full carts.

I forgot today was the day before Thanksgiving. And I did the Costco-Shop-of-Shame.

Cracking down on sharing memberships.

Not sharing like two families doing it correctly, but people lending out their cards.

I'm 100% on Costco's side here. The membership is pretty cheap and pays for itself rapidly. By trying to get out of paying for it, your cheap fuck ass is hurting other Costco members and yourself. The more paying members they have, the better wholesale prices they can get, and that means lower prices for us all.

I would bet a dollar their next move will be to add some financial penalty to people whose cards are used by non-members with revocation being a last straw.

I recently got a membership, cuz it was $20. Still not sure what to do with it.

Our local one is SO OVERCROWDED that it's ridiculous. So just been looking for online deals, none yet.
It's not me, it's someone else.
