Quicken Loans called to refinance me down from 5.5% to 3.75%. I was stoked. I sent in all of the paperwork and they cut my loan by about $50 a month. I was more stoked. With my goal of paying of my mortgage at the time in 42 months, I sat down and did the math and the refinancing costs had me paying about $800 extra to pay the loan off in 42 months at 3.75% while "saving $50" a month after refinancing. So explained this to agent and he denied it and we did the amortization math together on his amortization calculator instead of the Internet one I was using. He finally admitted I was right. I should have hung up the phone then but instead I spent 20 minute arguing with him that the stability of saving $50 a month if I got unemployed wasn't worth $800 out of my plans over the next 3 /12 year.Vorret wrote:lolWPD wrote:It is funny when an insurance company calls you to tell you their auto quote and it is higher than your current rate and they're like "Well.

I get that alot and they'Re all "really? Are you sure that's your rate?"

I'd ask if they were from Michigan but no self respecting Michigander shops at WalMarts. We all shop at Meijers and Krogers, and a few shop at Targets, and new the yuppies go to CostCos.Cortilian wrote:My in-laws shop at Wal-Mart'S,

CostCos is specifically marketed to (college graduate) yuppies whom perceive themselves as value oriented and whon refuse to shop at WalMarts.Remus West wrote:Screw you. I am not a yuppie.
I buy paper products there mostly. Those and detergents. My fols give me my membership for Christmas every year so I shop twice a year or so to buy the biggest possible laundry and dish detergent they sell so that I only have to shop once or twice a year...LordMortis wrote:CostCos is specifically marketed to (college graduate) yuppies whom perceive themselves as value oriented and whon refuse to shop at WalMarts.Remus West wrote:Screw you.

BTW, the 60 mini egg rolls for $6.99 this month is a killer deal.

I do buy gas there when I'm in the area.LordMortis wrote:Work is sponsoring mine, so I check their sale ad every month.
Also the A2 CostCos has the cheapest gas on the west side, so any time you're headed west, it would behoove you to fill up there.
I am cheap about everything but HaBA and Detergents. They don't carry any of my toiletries or cleansers, so I don't get that stuff. But I'm all about the 50 packs of instant oat meals Nature Valleys and such when they go on special. With my free membership, CostCos is good for about $40-$50 a month out of my wallet. The savings might be $5 at a time, so it still wouldn't be worth me buying my own membership.
I may eventually get some electronics stuff there. We'll see if and when that time ever comes.
And I absolutely despise that they've change their layout every damned time I walk in the store. I don't care if it works on other people. I don't want to rediscover the damned store every time I walk in.
No, it's not. I shop at Sam's and pick up toilet paper and cleaning supplies in bulk, get my sodas by the case at a regular cheap rate rather than having to sale hunt, and even some foodstuffs that go in the freezer.bb2112 wrote:A membership is kind of a waste for a household of one.
I recently ordered 2x2 terabyte external WD drives from Best Buy during their Cyber Monday sale. I had to return both of them, since later in the week I walked into Costco and found the same drive regularly priced $20 less than the door crasher price at Best Buy (which was a good price).LordMortis wrote:I may eventually get some electronics stuff there.

Emmerich movie. Releases June 28th actually. Big summer blockbuster/dud with Tatum and Foxx.

Indeed, it's worth bearing in mind Costco has a policy of refusing to mark up the price of any product they sell by more than 15%. So while they may not offer the greatest selection, you can be pretty sure that whatever you buy there will almost always be priced competitively.GreenGoo wrote:I recently ordered 2x2 terabyte external WD drives from Best Buy during their Cyber Monday sale.

There isn't a huge selection at Costco, but if they have what you want, or you're not fussy about a specific product, Costco is great for electronics.
Not shopping at WaMart's, I can safely say that if I am not sale shopping and want stuff to buy in bulk then CostCos has the best prices around on standard big name brand food. Aldi is better priced for generic food. As an obsessive sale shopper (and coupon cutter) I both places prices with Meijer prices consistently but when I shop at Meijers, my receipt usually informs me that I am "saving" between 40-70% off their normal pricing. While it's all psychological price games, there is a still a sense of accomplishment when you 80% off or more. Where if you were insane you'd pay $200 for the same groceries I walked out of store paying less than $40 for.Anonymous Bosch wrote:Indeed, it's worth bearing in mind Costco has a policy of refusing to mark up the price of any product they sell by more than 15%.
