Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Love my Costco membership. Family of three. Get a few seasonal items, allergy meds, soap, trash bags, toilet paper, laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent...
For food, I really do like to buy ingredients here, too. I will buy the big thing of ground beef and meal prep and freeze. I'll get the bell peppers and cut and freeze them. I used to do the onions when they had huge 10 pound bags. I also get my chicken, butter, and certain cheeses. I like to get shelf stable condiments here, since they aren't in the huge tubs. I used to get canned goods here, but nowadays I pretty much just stick to the chicken.
For food that is ready to eat, I like to get them as occasional treats. My local store has a two pack of quiche that is so good. I used to get their lasagna, but those were so thin that it doesn't feed all three of us.
Kirkland Signature brand stuff is almost always amazing. They have a really good return policy that I have only used twice. Once was for a jar of olives none of us liked. The other was for a container of Kirkland Signature laundry soap. There was no way to smell it before I bought it, and omg it smelled SO BAD.
I like it for the gas, but I work remote so this isn't as big of a deal as it used to be.
If you're the type of person that would be tempted by the delicious treats at Costco and would eat all the savings, pass. But otherwise, I would consider.
Y’all are getting me excited about this!
