I used to shave my testicles with a razor blade. But since I got Parkinson's,
I don't have the balls to do it anymore.

The Costco in Fairbanks had those shirts last winter. Never saw them in the Anchorage store.



That's the deal that pisses me off the most about Costco. Some products are stocked by manager request, others by Corporate decision makers and mostly they don't always make sense.

When my wife lived in the Fresno CA area and I lived in far E WA, I could get some organic raisins in WA but the local Fresno store didn't have them. And the raisins were boxed about a 15 minute drive from the Fresno store.

I shop online there now, as the nearest is about 3 hrs away whichever direction I go. Ordered something one time only to find out when I got the the checkout stage that it "isn't available" in my zip code area. Then, I got a few things last night and they are available now. It's 2020, almost 2021 now. Shouldn't be too difficult to sell whatever they sell in any area in this online shopping world we have today.

Them ordering in large quantities and getting their pricepoint helps and hurts the consumer. I can no longer find Altoids online or on the shelf if I get to a real store. They must have asked for too big a price cut or Altoids no longer wanted to give them the break. They're still available at a higher cost elsewhere though.

What next, a gallon of milk is going to be a pint short?

How about a "pound" of bacon?

These days you really have to check the labels, and figure the price per unit.

Not a Costco fanboy but, what a concept. Lol. If every business did what 24hrCF wanted they would be dead and gone. Costco often drops a lot of popular products but it has to be a profit or supply reason if they are in fact popular region wide.


Exactly.

Thats why Folgers is dead to me.

They said at the time that they were the only coffee company to not raise their price.

As most of America thinks that a third pounder is smaller than a quarter pounder......Folgers apparently got away with it.

Almost every diary shortened ice cream ten or more years ago.
They use the two piece containers, so it was easy to slightly reduce
circumference and base.

It looks like 1/2 gallon, but it ain't.

I always buy an extra large coffee on the way to work.
Add it to what's in my mug, and drink what's left first.

One morning I bought a large and an extra large. I figured it would
take all the large, and some of th xlarge to fill my cup.

Nope. The large filled it.

Hmmm.
So, I dumped the xtra into the large.
Only about 1 inch left.
Hmmm.

The extra is quite a bit taller,
But tapered different and skinnier.

MS finally got a Costco. Went in awhile back to check it out.

That had some heavy flannel shirts on sale for $12.
👍👍.


Sams club is the same way. If you find something you like. Better get it while you can. They may have a bunch today. Them clearance them out tomorrow. On to the next thing.
