Nurse you lying hussy. I just checked costco car rentals vs hotwire. Hotwire $15 cheaper



I just checked both sites as well

Pick up: Baton Rouge Airport
From Sept 1 until Sept 6(that's the dates I'm coming to BR next month)


Cheapest rate on hotwire....economy $383


Cheapest rate on Costco....economy $289



And those rates actually went up...I booked my reservation for $240(total)for an intermediate sized car a month or two ago.

I disagree. Branded gas seems to be slightly worse on mpg. The refiner adds a dye/additive to distinguish as a "branded" product. Otherwise it's essentially the same thing, except branded is more expensive.


show me what credible study supports your conclusion in branded gas getting worse mpg

And you think they toss those additives in there for shits and giggles? Those additives clean your intake valves. That's proven.

The Kirkland thick cut bacon is great IMO.

Two 16 oz packs for $10. You can't beat that. That saves me like $10/week alone
$5/lb is rather high. Just catch a sale at Rouses on thick cut applewood when you can get two 16oz packs for $7.99. Buy in bulk and freeze

Yes, I usually buy the uncut portions and carve it up myself. That was the smaller end of a larger portion that was left over. Larger up front cost, but much cheaper per pound.

The grain looks much more like tenderloin than ribeye, looks good regardless

Sam's serves a better rotisserie bird. But that's all about all.

Costco is cleaner, better organized and hires employees that actually provide customer service. Sam's is a dressed up Walmart, which is equivalent to Popeye's in terms of hiring practices.

And Costco sells Ribeye Caps, one of the best and most tender and flavorable pieces of meat you can find. Prime cut too.

Their Large bottle of Kirkland's Baileys is insanely good. $15 for a large bottle, a large Baileys is what, like $40

I second this.

ETA: their ready made margaritas are amazeballs

Not here.. only 4 cents cheaper here in Mobile than stations up the road. And my truck runs like shi* when I used to use their fuel... I stick with Chevron myself.
