re: Is Sams Club worth it?

Posted by Cold Cous Cous on 5/25/26 at 10:04 am to
I went to Sam's yesterday for the first time in ~1 year (wife goes monthly) and frankly it sucked. Lots of MM items were more expensive than the equivalent GV/equate on walmart+ app.

For example plain greek yogurt, which I buy a ton of, was 1c/oz more expensive at Sams (in bulk) than Wal Mart's basic. Yea it's one cent, but the whole point of bulk buying is that it's supposed to be cheaper. Their 85% ground meat was more expensive then Wal Mart's 93%. Their top sirloin was more expensive than the Canseco's top sirloin (weekly special). And it was an absolute fricking zoo, even with scan & go. If I had had to stand in those lines, I would've straight up walked out.
So our clocks will just always be wrong? At no point, in the entire year, will "noon" be at noon. This is genuinely retarded.
I'm not "mad" at anyone but if this is what college sports is now, why should I care?
That's the part they're taking for granted.

I think I say this sometimes too but technically you're asking permission.
What if they say no
Nor would I, until the day I brought a blonde freshman to DeAngelos and she said "I'll do your pepperoni calzone."
I usually say "I'll have the..." Or maybe "I'd like the..." Depending on the vibe sometimes it's just a blunt noun: "brat, onions, and a warsteiner dunkel" at the deutches Haus for example. That doesn't work everywhere obviously.

The reason for this question is that my wife invariably says "I'll do your..." As in "I'll do your eggplant risotto." "I'll do your whopper junior, no mayonnaise." I think this is completely nonsensical and have sternly and consistently maintained as such. You can't "do" a plate of food. The "your" also bothers me a little but I would let it slide if not for the "do" part. This has led to no small degree of tension over the years and decades and I would appreciate some neutral outside contributions.
St bernard is really remarkable for how *physically* close it is to NO but how *mentally* far. In most cities that would be an inner ring suburb completely indistinguishable from any of the other areas "just outside of town." But somewhere like violet may as well be a different planet from Metairie
Every year johnson maximizes hitting and lets fielding fall where it may. Which is a strategy that's worked.
Well this year the hitting didn't pan out and this is what were left with.

Not a wealth tax per se, however tax benefits for 401ks and ira's will be "means tested" - we're talking about people with a million dollars in retirement accounts! these programs were never meant to help millionaire fat cats like that.

This tax will, of course, be scheduled to go into effect 24 hours after the last baby boomer dies.

Of late? "Late" meaning 1996-present or what
Great to see the OT accepting this bit of good news in its usual optimistic spirit

This is how my first appointment of the morning went.

Me: So what brings you in today?

Patient: I do not know. I think she made the appointment because of my back.

Me: Ok. How long has your back been hurting you?

Patient: I do not know.

Patient's wife: He has been complaining about for 6 weeks now.

You can imagine how the rest of the appointment went.


In an alternate world, this appointment would have gone like this:

Is that an improvement?
I've done it twice with *used* cars. Both from Florida which has 10x the selection Louisiana does, apparently.
The first time doesn't really count because I had my brother (no pics) who lives out of state go check it out and test drive it for me first. That transaction went well. I bought it from some guy who had a small lot on the equivalent of Airline Highway and he was super upfront & responsive.
The second time we rolled the dice and bought my wife a specific model she wanted from a dealership in Miami, sight unseen. We felt a little more confident because it was new enough to still have warranty. That was a clusterfrick. These idiots didn't send us the title, and she was back and forth with them for like three weeks getting transferred around and ignored. I had to call the company's *general counsel* in Washington just to get the fricking title. Once she found out she was dealing with a graduate of the Paul M Hebert Law Center she knew not to frick around and they overnighted it to us asap. :pimp: Car was in good shape though.
