The larger the purchase the larger the discount...

That is my favorite one!  That was why I started keeping them all inside, didn’t want that to bleach in the sun!  (It’s a BGE Tel-Tru with custom color-way.)

Definitely don’t need it but hard to pass up for the price.

For anyone whose primary Egg is not sheltered from precipitation, a small kamado can be your friend under a covered area of your home. I keep a spare MM on the covered front porch just so that I don’t have to change plans if there’s rain or snow.

I swear my local Lowes is the most expensive Lowes in the nation. I see the normal price for yours is $399. My local Lowes store is $599. Every item in the store is a minimum of $1 to $2 more than Home Depot and Menards for starting price points. Just the other day I needed a quart of Bondo and I did some price comparison shopping and to see who carried it. Lowe's wanted $27 a quart! Absolutely insane! I went to Menards and picked it up for almost half the price. 

I'm glad to see there are deals to be found at other Lowes! Congrats on the find @shtgunal3

I already have a large, small, and mini. Not sure yet what I’ll do with the Joe Jr. This was at a Lowe’s “Outlet”.

I’d use for it exclusively for veggies.

I used to tell the cashiers I was a black market doc for the mafia.  I use them to stuff in bullet holes and stab wounds.  Back when I was a young funny guy

Costco run earlier today, always check the booze aisle even if well stocked.  Two of these fell into the cart . . .

Nice!  I like Sazerac bourbons.  Will keep my eye out for this.

The icing on the cake is that they were probably dirt cheap. 

I am joking, but I’ve had some incredibly economical booze purchases from Costco. We’re still working on a $15 1.5L bottle of Kirkland Vodka we bought in Mexico in December.

1L bottles at $33.07 CAD.  Previously have had the single barrel and small batch versions, both those were very nice.

Just bought two tix to a Soccer ⚽️ Friendly in flyover country  (Louisville) late October, USWNT vs Argentina.  US Soccer is running the show and with a capacity of only 15K, they are proud of the seats.  But likely the only time to see the team (which plays for Olympic Gold against Brazil Saturday 11 AM (EDT).

They playing at the pro stadium adjacent to the interstate coming out of downtown?

That is the venue but it is a soccer only site however, designed and built with the structural integrity to add a third level with minimal impact should the club (LCFC) move to MLS as right now it plays in the USL.
Last time we saw the USWNT here was 2004.  (Edit: that was the fourth visit in 5 years( 1999-2004) played in a 50K football stadium).  So the classic"window of opportunity."

I said the french dip thread was going to make me buy a slicer. Well today’s the day.

Don’t know much about slicers, but definitely recognize the name.  That red line is gorgeous!

I did not recognize the name, but damn what a website/collection!
 
@DoubleEgger, if you really cared about the environment you would've bought one of their manual/flywheel slicers, only $8,800:

Reads like the meat slicer Ferrari (and in red...).  Now for the French Dip christening.

My favorite pizza place in Alpharetta GA has one like that. It’s indeed a work of art.

That’s cool; the website has several videos of them in action, so smooth (and that self-sharpening feature is clever as hell).

Ridge wallet:



I had had a “Costanza” wallet (IYKYK) for years there on the left.  It had gotten to the point where I really wasn’t able to carry it in my back pocket comfortably any more.  And so I started stashing it in places that weren’t my pocket and occasionally misplacing it.

I know, for an ostensibly smart person I can be pretty friggin dumb sometimes.  Anyway, I’m hoping the Ridge will work out well for me.  This particular one was half off on Amazon.  Still seems kind of pricey for what it is, but I will say that it seems to be built well.
