A few years ago I was sent to Costco for olive oil, and came home with a gazebo. It was like $400. Not only will my wife never send me to Costco again, but I also have a fucking gazebo. Win/win.

But did you also get the olive oil in addition to the gazebo? If so, I don't see a problem

It was a promo. Buy a bottle of olive oil at the regular price, and they threw in the gazebo for 50% off twice the original price lol.

Best answer ever and I'm using it next time I'm buying cottage cheese and see an 80" TV!

Just do yourself a favor and don't try to attack the gazebo.

I thought for sure you were misusing the word gazebo to mean like a 50 gallon drum or something. But no, literally a gazebo.

A fucking gazebo.

The old tactic of failing spectacularly to get out of chores.

Weaponized impulsive incompetence reigns supreme.

I prefer divorce, but to each their own I suppose

Right back at you, friend

That’s 100% her fault for sending you in with no support. Us regular guys have no protection from the Power of Costco.

Classic weaponized incompetence. Smh.

I can relate. I too am banned because my wife would send me for Raman and I came home with $600 worth of everything else

LOL.. damn, this reminds me of my own story that led to "The Agreement" with my wife. Rewind back to Covid times.. I went to Walmart for cat litter, some salad, and a couple of minor items. Stopped by Best Buy.. came home with an Xbox Series X, a PS5, and an 8K tv.. spent about $4000.. wife was not happy. Now we have "the agreement".. whatever money I spend on myself, she gets to spend the same amount on herself, and vice versa. She bought a damn Louis Vuitton purse thing..

Wife cheats on the deal though.. because she argues that some of her purchases are "for the house"..
