    New Car

    Yes, forgot to mention we did go through the Costco Auto Purchase program. They didn't show us the price sheet, but got the 2017 Accord EX-L for about $4,300 off MSRP and a trunk tray 3 months ago, plus 0.9% to boot (vs cash, this is a no brainer). Some can haggle a few extra hundred off, but I...

    New Car

    Got rid of our 04 Corolla, CarMax process was pretty simple, much more than the dealer. So went back and forth on the new car the past year. We had a Model 3 reservation, cancelled it, considering Lexus or Mazda. We have some bathroom remodeling to do so decided to go Honda Civic. With the 2018...

    New Korean BBQ place

    Yes, saw it on Yelp and their hours on there are listed as 11:00 am - 12:00 am every day. Not sure if the menu is any cheaper or different for lunch.

    Ants inside house

    We tried all sorts of things last year (chinese illegal chalk, Terro, spray from Home Depot) and when they made a huge trail to the trash IN THE KITCHEN one day, we were fed up. We used a local exterminator who did interior and exterior, they say stay out of the house while it dries for the...

    New Korean BBQ place

    We've been going weekdays before 6:30 or so and finding no wait to 5-10 minutes. I think being open for lunch helps now. Line on weekday starts around 7ish. Now that this is our standard, I went to All That and was unsatisfied with the quality even though more banchan, rice paper wraps, AYCE. I...

    New Korean BBQ place

    Went to Kang Hodong Baekjeong last night so Thursday. Checked in at 6:20, quoted 1 hour, seated at 7:40. You can download the No Wait app to see your place in line. We just ended up killing some time by getting a drink at Boiling Point, walking through Mitsuwa and Daiso. Then we walked back and...

    Prime rib recipes

    I've done the 200 method, even doneness end to end. I haven't seared at the end though.

    First Time HomeBuyer Needs Advice

    Agreed on getting a lender to prequalify you. Once you start looking and want to make an offer, it will go pretty quickly and your offer wont be as strong without a prequal letter and a competitive down payment.

    Outdoor BBQ Island

    Not sure, just being a Costco lemming. Most of the stuff is good quality for the price. Although I haven't bought a big purchase there more than a Vitamix.

    Outdoor BBQ Island

    If you're still interested in the KitchenAid, maybe check it out and measure at Costco? It's got 2 leaves on the side which may work when not propped up but snug depending on your set up. Good luck!

    Where do most you non-FCBs go grocery shopping?

    Our go to is Trader's (eggs, bananas, bagged greens, mushrooms) and Sprouts (most other veggies, meat, dairy) for weekly shopping. Between those and the once a week or every other week trips to Costco and Target, I don't go to a "traditional" Stater's, Albertsons, Ralphs or etc very often, maybe...

    Junk fooding

    If you enjoy lemon desserts, the lemon squares at Trader's are convenient and tasty. They are literally 1 square inch though so if you have portion control issues, maybe not good. 80 calories per piece.

    Vegas Restaurant Recommendations?

    It's been awhile but excellent Thai (northern cuisine, not watered down Americanized) at Lotus of Siam off the strip. For other recommendations, Eater is usually spot on for me: http://vegas.eater.com/maps/best-las-vegas-restaurants-38...
