Not Amazon, ad popped up on FB today. Grabbed one. Hella price. Shipping $10. Cant beat it. I’m pumped. I have a guy cuts my grass for $25. Bought this as a backup in case he quits. Honda self propelled, rear bag, usually $450. $60. Will keep in house next to the Suzuki.

$450 to $60? You may have just been scammed :) If he quits, find another guy or better yet, a teenager in the hood.

Hope you weren't scammed, Lowes doesn't sell Honda anything.

Dam, ok, you don't have to yell.

Search "honda lawn mower" at lowes.com instead of a general google search and you will only find craftsmen lawn mowers. Either that or my browser doesn't like Honda. But nothing Honda comes up except ancillary stuff, like a leaf vac and their generator etc.

EDIT:

Ain’t getting into it. Classic case of every one on internet takes the negative approach. Dont care, not first time. If it don’t show by the 28th, i will call Chase Fraud and kabosh the charge. If your CC company wont do same, maybe you should get a Chase Visa.

I'm the same way. I can't count how many times we order from Amazon every month. And each time I order from them means one less trip to the store. I'd guesstimate that we order 25 times per month, and I return about 1 time for every 15 orders.

Oh, and did I say what Amazon is building not ONE, but TWO distribution centers about 5 miles from here. Each one will have 1,000,000 sq ft on the ground floor and one of them will have an additional 250,000 sq ft on an elevated 2nd floor. Can y'all say "next day delivery?"

About 20% of the time I get things "same day delivery". Crazy.

Amazon is smart. If I bundle everything up to one day a week they offer me a discount on Digital purchases. $1, $2, $3, which comes in handy when purchasing books and the like. It's probably little to no cost for them, a digit file sitting on a server in AWS, smart.

They have told me to keep something versus returning it as well (usually small stuff) so they know the costs of returns, and factor that in when doing a return.
 
No Amazon sucks…… I bought one thing 10 years ago and it shipped broken….. had a hell of a time returning it. Boycotted them ever since.
I have heard horror stories what they do to manufacturers to sell product on their site….. Amazon demands a percentage number and a sell price leaving the manufacturer very little margin…. I’m just fine without Amazon

Kind of like every big box retailer since the beginning of retail.
 
Honestly. Some site been advertising old school stilletos for $25 on FB, beautiful knives. I ordered one, what the heck, every one said its a scam, well it showed up and was as perfect as advertised. So i ordered one for my son and it also showed up. He loves it. I just ordered a 3rd. It look sketchy but its really real. These things are solid, quality, amazing, old school Italian stilletto knoves. Not everything is is scam.

I always thought that a switch blade was folding and a stilletto had a blade that came out the front when the button was pressed. I thought I had a stilletto in my 20's but Mr. Google has now told me that we are both wrong and that a stilletto has a fixed blade.

We used to have a knife guy around here. Anybody remember his name?

Not a formal knife guy, but I remember as you do. Stiletto is spring loaded with blade going straight out the front and the switch blade flipped out. The old movie West Side Story also remembers it that way. But it seems a stiletto is only a long slender blade, mostly known as a dagger.

From the wiki: Over time, the term stiletto has been used as a general descriptive term for a variety of knife blades exhibiting a narrow blade with minimal cutting surfaces and a needle-like point, such as the U.S. V-42 stiletto. In American English usage, the name stiletto can also refer to a switchblade knife with a stiletto- or bayonet-type blade design. The term may also describe any exaggeratedly thin and pointed feature, such as a stiletto heel.

Remind me to tell you how I lost my stilletto. Too much typing for me/here and don't want to derail the thread any further. Not to worry, it didn't get wet.
 
IMG_3978.jpeg 2023 Indy 500. We were on worldwide TV during the National Anthem. I am proud to say we have been on worldwide TV 11 times at the Indy 500 and a few times at the Michigan 500.

I order a lot of stuff on Amazon. Probably average one a week. I do check prices locally before I look at Amazon.

But another way I save money is because of Kroger fuel points.

You say what?

Kroger has digital coupons where if you buy a gift card you get four times fuel points. So for example I bought an 12’ x 18’ American flag for $500. I bought an Amazon gift card for $500. And received 2000 fuel points.

For every thousand points you get a dollar off per gallon up to 35 gallons.

So a $500 gift card gets me to $70 off in gas.

Sometimes we will take two or three cars. Or I have a bunch of 5 gallon gas cans. Kroger is only a mile away.
