    Meijer Went Full On Purolator

    Big racks of them around here, especially the OF's. I was in there a couple of days ago. Most of the OF's were < $2. Unfortunately, nothing I could use. When they were blowing out the Puro's the last time, they had about 6 or 7 of them for my pickup, marked down to 40 cents each.

    Meijer Went Full On Purolator

    They just play the vendors for the best deal. Just used up my last Purolator from the clearance blowout, where they brought in all the Frams they are now blowing out, to bring in Purolators.

    Is buying Oil on Amazon safe?

    Not quite. Walmart is just recycled. You know, that "Mobile 2" stuff.

    Can this tire be patched and other tire questions?

    That is a gnarly looking tire, especially the sidewall. Replace.

    Free Cyclonic Action

    It really isn't free, given that you are utilizing electricity that you are more than likely paying for. The "Cyclonic action" is provided at no additional cost.

    Non smart TV

    I found no such animal a couple of years ago when I replaced my set. Closest thing that I could find was an exterior grade set. Cost was over 7K for a big screen.

    Amazon Basics

    There is nothing exceptional about Amazon Basics oil, or even any of the "Basics" line of products from Amazon. Unless there is a fairly stout sale associated with the product in question, I've found the name brand product to be a better value.

    New interstate batteries at Costco

    Besides, even if one is pro-Exide, one can go to their local Rural King and purchase the same battery for about 1/3rd less, with a better warranty on it than Costco.

    How do I end my welding tank lease??

    If you have a 10 year lease, you must have been provided with a contract in writing (I certainly hope so.) Read the cancellation provision in the contract. Follow that procedure to the letter. Also, since you are dealing with a bunch of yahoos, I would make copies of anything in writing and...

    2008 HHR Electrical Issues?

    If he's lucky, he just took out fuses. I saw someone do that once on a Civic. Blew out several fuses.

    Mailbox hit by drunk driver

    This, and a couple of cinderblock or such to keep it propped up to a height that makes it passable. See if some of the others are willing to join in an action to take him to small claims court to see that he gets bent as well.

    Handheld shower that works?

    Unfortunately, crappy junk with crappy pressure is going to be the norm, thanks to you know who. However, there are a few that seem to be decent. My MIL was in the same boat, and I helped him in selecting a Moen from Menards. They have been happy with it. On the other hand, I decided that it was...

    Is Discount Tire certificate worth it for my situation?

    The only problem with the GC approach is that he would be unable to access the road hazard warranty because he does not have a membership card. To make this work, everything would have to go through the friend with the membership, including any claims or even the free rotation.
