The Kirkland (Costco) brand booze is pretty good. The vodka is made by the same people that make Grey Goose. Most of their booze is made by respected labels. Hated the bourbon, though. It tasted cheap. The anejo tequila is solid.

this is pretty interesting (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1et_ukHzWPw) Costco's effort to deliver great wines under the Kirkland Brand

Had some painting to do at house.The wife,right away wants to go to Loews to get Behr Premium ultra paint about $35.00 gallon.I talked her into checking out Walmart first.We looked around and found paint that wasn't to shabby for allot less coin.I new the guy mixing the paint and asked him what the difference was between the paint we were buying and the Behr brand.He looked at me with a dead pain face and said ''The label".
