如果多是猪牛羊肉,换算到wholefoods,一年就是两三万了。
所以满意不满意全看自己对自己定位是什么,walmart,后父子,或者中间某个。

三个星期以前list的,location不错,10/10/10的学校。

有些门,墙的格局也需要改,heating炉子要换。估计怎么也要个30-40K才能收拾得差
不多。
开价570K,offer了个515K过去,560K counter回来。一看差距太大,懒得谈了。
过了一个礼拜,under contract了。
又过了一个礼拜,发现buyer walked away,又active。list agent说和inspection无
关,buyer改主意了。
于是我决定serious试一下,530K递上去。
list agent说价太低,他们有个比我们much higher的offer。
又过了一天,list agent说那个much higher offer也跑了:) 问我们愿不愿意加点敲下
来。
于是脑子一热加到535K,人家说最少得540K。当时一想加5K其实也就是1K的downpay,
一个60D都不到。不过现在还是觉得没加是明智的,感觉这经济形势,房市没个2-3年好
不起来,有的是时间看。
结果人家又relist了。
一天之后,under contract了。
希望这次老太太能成交,人指着那房子养老呢。一次一次被放鸽子也挺不爽的。如果进

这事不用争呀,各家人口、胃口、budget、preference都不一样。
若嫌costco性价比不好,就去更好的地方买。
食品价格最容易横向比较了,基本都以单位重量标价格的。
不像有的东西,包装一会大了小了,还要换算半天。
我只是想说,不觉得costco特别贵,
事实是,食品价格这几年就是涨的十分离谱
一磅涨一块钱看着不多,可百分比就是xx%
别说和wholefoods缺德舅这类比,哪怕cmart的炒牛肉现在都8.49一磅了,costco好像
是7.49吧。
说costco对自制力差的家庭/个人杀伤力大的,这个表示同意
两种情况
一是买多了直接烂了扔了
二是本来不需要吃那么多,结果买了大包后莫名的多吃了很多
但同时也觉得这些人是不是首先提高自己execution的能力更要紧呢
我对costco的好感主要来自水果(完全是个人preference)
比如他家夏天当令时候的西瓜,多年来都是质量控制最好的,比wholefoods wegmans的
都好,奇怪的很。
另外对新品的开发也有可圈可点的地方
今年有两个相当不错的新产品:envy apple和sable grapes。
幻想希望他家能引入sumo orange,毕竟其他店3块多一磅实在很难经常下手

That's wise. Read this: http://www.slate.com/id/2295603/
"for an extra hour of commuting time, you would need to be compensated with
a massive 40 percent increase in salary to make it worthwhile."
This week, researchers at Umea University in Sweden released a startling
finding: Couples in which one partner commutes for longer than 45 minutes
are 40 percent likelier to divorce. The Swedes could not say why. Perhaps
long-distance commuters tend to be poorer or less educated, both conditions
that make divorce more common. Perhaps long transit times exacerbate
corrosive marital inequalities, with one partner overburdened by child care
and the other overburdened by work. But perhaps the Swedes are just telling
us something we all already know, which is that commuting is bad for you.
Awful, in fact.
Commuting is a migraine-inducing life-suck—a mundane task about as
pleasurable as assembling flat-pack furniture or getting your license
renewed, and you have to do it every day. If you are commuting, you are not
spending quality time with your loved ones. You are not exercising, doing
challenging work, having sex, petting your dog, or playing with your kids (
or your Wii). You are not doing any of the things that make human beings
happy. Instead, you are getting nauseous on a bus, jostled on a train, or
cut off in traffic.
In the past decade or so, researchers have produced a significant body of
research measuring the dreadfulness of a long commute. People with long
transit times suffer from disproportionate pain, stress, obesity, and
dissatisfaction. The joy of living in a big, exurban house, or that extra
income left over from your cheap rent? It is almost certainly not worth it.
First, the research proves the most obvious point: We dislike commuting
itself, finding it unpleasant and stressful. In 2006, Nobel laureate Daniel
Kahneman and Princeton economist Alan Krueger surveyed 900 Texan women,
asking them how much they enjoyed a number of common activities. Having sex
came in first. Socializing after work came second. Commuting came in dead
last. "Commuting in the morning appears particularly unpleasant," the
researchers noted.
That unpleasantness seems to have a spillover effect: making us less happy
in general. A survey conducted last year for the Gallup-Healthways Well-
Being Index, for instance, found that 40 percent of employees who spend more
than 90 minutes getting home from work "experienced worry for much of the
previous day." That number falls to 28 percent for those with "negligible"
commutes of 10 minutes or less. Workers with very long commutes feel less
rested and experience less "enjoyment," as well.
Long commutes also make us feel lonely. Robert Putnam, the famed Harvard
political scientist and author of Bowling Alone, names long commuting times
as one of the most robust predictors of social isolation. He posits that
every 10 minutes spent commuting results in 10 percent fewer "social
connections." Those social connections tend to make us feel happy and
fulfilled.
Those stressful hours spent listening to drive-time radio do not merely make
us less happy. They also make us less healthy. The Gallup survey, for
instance, found that one in three workers with a 90-minute daily commute has
recurrent neck or back problems. Our behaviors change as well, conspiring
to make us less fit: When we spend more time commuting, we spend less time
exercising and fixing ourselves meals at home.
According to research from Thomas James Christian of Brown University, each
minute you commute is associated with "a 0.0257 minute exercise time
reduction, a 0.0387 minute food preparation time reduction, and a 0.2205
minute sleep time reduction." It does not sound like much, but it adds up.
Long commutes also tend to increase the chance that a worker will make "non-
grocery food purchases"—buying things like fast food—and will shift into "
lower-intensity" exercise.
It is commuting, not the total length of the workday, that matters, he found
. Take a worker with a negligible commute and a 12-hour workday and a worker
with an hourlong commute and a 10-hour workday. The former will have
healthier habits than the latter, even though total time spent on the
relatively stressful, unpleasant tasks is equal.
Plus, overall, people with long commutes are fatter, and national increases
in commuting time are posited as one contributor to the obesity epidemic.
Researchers at the University of California–Los Angeles, and Cal State–
Long Beach, for instance, looked at the relationship between obesity and a
number of lifestyle factors, such as physical activity. Vehicle-miles
traveled had a stronger correlation with obesity than any other factor.
So, in summary: We hate commuting. It correlates with an increased risk of
obesity, divorce, neck pain, stress, worry, and sleeplessness. It makes us
eat worse and exercise less. Yet, we keep on doing it.
Indeed, average one-way commuting time has steadily crept up over the course
of the past five decades, and now sits at 24 minutes (although we routinely
under-report the time it really takes us to get to work). About one in six
workers commutes for more than 45 minutes, each way. And about 3.5 million
Americans commute a whopping 90 minutes each way—the so-called "extreme
commuters," whose number has doubled since 1990, according to the Census
Bureau. They collectively spend 164 billion minutes per year shuttling to
and from work.
Why do people suffer through it? The answer mostly lies in a phrase forced
on us by real-estate agents: "Drive until you qualify." Many of us work in
towns or cities where houses are expensive. The further we move from work,
the more house we can afford. Given the choice between a cramped two-bedroom
apartment 10 minutes from work and a spacious four-bedroom house 45 minutes
from it, we often elect the latter.
For decades, economists have been warning us that when we buy at a distance,
we do not tend to take the cost of our own time into account. All the way
back in 1965, for instance, the economist John Kain wrote, it is "crucial
that, in making longer journeys to work, households incur larger costs in
both time and money. Since time is a scarce commodity, workers should demand
some compensation for the time they spend in commuting." But we tend not to
, only taking the tradeoff between housing costs and transportation costs
into question.
How much would we need to be compensated to make up for the hellish
experience of a long commute? Two economists at the University of Zurich,
Bruno Frey and Alois Stutzer, actually went about quantifying it, in a now
famous 2004 paper entitled "Stress That Doesn't Pay: The Commuting Paradox."
They found that for an extra hour of commuting time, you would need to be
compensated with a massive 40 percent increase in salary to make it
worthwhile.
But wait: Isn't the big house and the time to listen to the whole Dylan
catalog worth something as well? Sure, researchers say, but not enough when
it comes to the elusive metric of happiness. Given the choice between that
cramped apartment and the big house, we focus on the tangible gains offered
by the latter. We can see that extra bedroom. We want that extra bathtub.
But we do not often use them. And we forget that additional time in the car
is a constant, persistent, daily burden—if a relatively invisible one.
Do not take it lightly. People who say, "My commute is killing me!" are not
exaggerators. They are realists.
