Is this thing working? Sadly due to COVID and all its social distancing restrictions, Black Friday shopping doesn’t feel like Black Friday shopping. Sure, online sales have already started earlier in the week and more specials are inbound, so maybe the frenetic craziness of BF shopping may actually happen.
In any case, hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving!
It’s simply amazing how fast the new Sony Playstation 5 sells out. No matter the vendor, no matter the venue, and no matter what time of day – the PS5 vanishes seconds after releasing.
Today, Walmart advertised that they would be restocking the PS5 for an early Black Friday. I refreshed the product page for the digital version and saw the message sold out. That was within 10 seconds! But really, it seems like the digital version released after the disc version and wasn’t available right at the designated time.
These COVID times are definitely crazy times!
Courtesy of Costco comes these Beats PowerBeats3 Wireless earbuds that are sweat and water resistant for workouts. I don’t know much about this product other than Costco is clearing them out for $49.97 (regular price around $99).
Seems like reviews say this wireless earbuds has a problem with it suddenly stop working, these are from Costco where I’ve seen some ridiculous returns. And at $50, the investment isn’t very steep.
I wouldn’t know, but it seems like the limited edition peach-flavored Crown Royal is ver popular and very hard to find. I guess there was a release in February 2020 and that was it for the year?
Intrigued…
I was wondering why the site was so slow this morning.
Hopefully, I can get one or two of these Chargers next week!
I must be a closet fan of singer Taylor Swift. Otherwise, I don’t know how to explain this purchase of an autographed copy of the “in the trees” CD.
I mean I didn’t even think twice. Autographed, bonus songs, different covers, and supposedly limited supply (even though there’s a limit of 4 CDs per order). I do like the Folklore album so perhaps Taylor’s music spoke to me during these COVID times. Or maybe, just maybe, I have a weak mind.
Walking around Ala Moana, I spied these Crocs that looked suspiciously like the recently released Crocs collab with the Grateful Dead, Bad Bunny, and Justin Bieber. Here are the legitimate Crocs clogs.
Here’s what I saw at Famous Footwear and Nordstrom.
Tie-dye, yellow, and a white Crocs sans jibbitz were in store, but really, the appeal is those custom charms. That’s why all these Crocs collabs sold out so fast.
If more equals better then could this be “better” than the Travis Scott meal from McDonalds in terms of Calories?
Yes, that’s a typical chocolate muffin from Costco, and it weighs in at roughly 689 Calories. Now according to the McD app, this is the Calorie count for a default Travis Scott meal.
Featuring a quarter pounder with added bacon, medium fries, and a medium sprite, the meal tops out at 1280 Calories. So no, in this case, the Costco muffin is NOT better than the Travis Scott meal.
But compared to a lone Big Mac, an entire Costco muffin is mightier.
With Hawaii’s Stay at Home, Work from Home emergency order in place, only businesses categorized as Essential Activies remain open. So when visiting Ala Moana, it’s eerily empty with only food vendors and restaurants allowed to operate. Even then, many chose to stay closed.
The escalators were also shut down, assumedly to save on operations, maintenance, and cleaning.
Hoping these closures of the small businesses are only temporary. But the real prize of this dreary visit is the patbingsu from Jejubing Dessert Cafe. Recently opened during the height of COVID breakouts on Oahu, the cafe is still open for takeout and is well worth the drive and eat in the car.
This is the green tea regular size, but I think I’ll stick with the tiramisu. Mango is good albeit a little sweet, and you can’t go wrong with the kinako bingsu.
Athough touted as a $6 combo for the McDonalds x Travis Scott meal, Hawaii residents are paying a $1 more.
Will that $7 price tag deter you from that 1150-calorie meal?
