So sad nothing is really here anymore…read more I only go for dicks and now there are some places in the food court I want to try out. Hopefully the Asian stuff will be done soon and it will liven up again. It's a great start with Chingu and kyo matcha. We will still bring our kids to Chuck E. Cheese so let's hope that sticks around for a while.

A friend and I often walked in this mall in cold weather. When we still had Macys and Eddie Bauer…read morethat was something. Now those are gone and I'm seeing a change in mall visitors. My service dog accompanies me most everywhere. Last winter as I changed her out of her service dog vest and back into her winter coat to leave, a male passerby snarled, "Can't you leave your dog at home!" Today we came upon a trail of dog poop near an area where a dog in training had been sitting with a couple. We found mall security and reported it. On our next lap around the mall, that same mall security person stopped us and informed us that we had to leave and not return. Three people allegedly reported that we were the ones who left the dog poop. He said they described someone carrying a small black dog. I asked to speak with management. The responding individual quickly ascertained that it wasn't us as my service dog walked between us and weighs just shy of 24 pounds, too heavy for either of us to carry around the mall. Needless to say, my service dog wouldn't make such a mess unless she was sick and I certainly wouldn't leave it. He was polite and welcomed us to stay. However, I found the incident disturbing. We left and I have no desire to visit again. They really need to redevelop this mall into senior housing or something as it is barely hanging on and some visitors seem increasingly rude and abrasive. Not my cup of tea.

The Twin Cities premium outlets is a great option if you're looking for affordable clothes/gifts…read more We typically come here around the holidays to do Christmas shopping. However; I also love coming randomly throughout the year to get updated clothing items. I typically like to check out under Armour and Nike, the Columbia store also has a separate outlet location as well. Recently, I feel like prices haven't been nearly as good as they used to, but in this economy, who can blame them. I would love to see a little bit more variation in the food court, it's mostly Asian cuisines and Cinnabon. All delicious but would love to see some more options. There's a ton of parking, but if you come on a busy weekend, you may not notice and still have to park far away. Bummed to see some recent retailers, leaving, they've been replaced with stores that my opinion were is great. Overall, a decent shopping trip, it's also in a great location. There's plenty of other stores/eating nearby. I recommend checking out the Twin Cities premium outlets if you haven't been there before.

If you're down to scrounge, this place might be for you (I'd just urge you to wash your hands after). That said, I specifically went here today because I needed a stapler. Mine went missing when I moved (probably in some box I've yet to unpack in my storage unit), and there's zero need to purchase a brand new stapler when I know I can get an old reliable Swingline from a thrift place like this (plus, I remembered on my first amble through here that they had a whole basket of staplers). Sure enough, I was able to acquire a stapler. But you can bet your ass that I brought along some staples to test out said staplers... the first one I picked up had a busted spring, but the second was fully functional. Both had been priced at $3. I mention this simply as a word of warning to consider testing before you buy.) I also picked up a bobbin thread case and a quart sized bag of crayons (both priced at $3) while I was there. This place is good for finding the kind of craft stuff your granny would keep around at a low price. And honestly, you're doing the environment a BIG favor to snag this kind of thing off a thrift store shelf rather than "convenience buy" it off Amazon or whatever. You can save money and feel good about yourself. The rest of the store has stuff like glassware, clothing, kids stuff, and holiday decor. It's not all amazing stuff. I reckon a lot of folks donate stuff they don't care to sort through when an elderly parent finally kicks it. The employee behind the checkout counter was a little slow to bother acknowledging me, but once we were interacting, they were friendly enough and wished me a good day; seemed like they were happy I actually bought something instead of just browsing.

Lots of new items can be found here for steal. My favorite day is Thursday where items on their sales tables are only $2. I've found many great deals on those tables from phone charging cables, toys, luggage bags, home goods, tools, and decor. Items here are mostly store overstock and returns so item quality and variety can be a mixed bag. Most items are in fairly good, almost new condition though. I don't come here to find the staples, instead I stop about once a week to see what deals I might find. You never know what you might find which always makes it an adventure and surprise! It's like a mystery reveal toy for adults :)

I was surprised to find Kitsch Hair stuff here. Although I get much better deals directly from Kitsch online. I browsed and really didn't find anything. Then I saw Final Clearance at the front of the store. There was a $79 DKNY sweater for $13! I tried it on over my tshirt and it was comfy. In the plastic wheeled basket you go. I also looked around and found 100 dog cleaning wipes for $6. This month is my birthday month but I forgot to sign up online. Birthday month customers get $10 off. This store is so ridiculously overpriced also. The cashier was nice. Mainly clothes, shoes, purses and skin and hair care items. I almost bought a handheld luggage scale for $14.97. Maybe I'll sign up birthday rewards and return next July. No returns on final clearance. The cashier was nice. 4/5 for ridiculously overpriced and missing prices.

A bit embarrassing but I'll own it. I've gotten so many people to join Costco because I talk about it so much. I love everything there. You can buy groceries, household items and even clothing. I like the regular items I go back for every week but also love that they continually change it up. I always take advantage of the sales. I only get gas at Costco, it feels safer than a regular gas station. Usually not too bad of a wait when I go. Great customer service. Great return policy. Wish there were more costcos around! They get so busy.

"How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?" (Pink Floyd)…read more Guess what, Pink Floyd? I skipped the meat entirely and went straight for the tiramisu pudding cake! Let me be clear: I spent zero dollars on this cake. A coworker brought it in, I was hungry, and my blood sugar was issuing ultimatums. So I did what any reasonable adult would do when faced with a huge mascarpone-laden cake sitting in the break room -- I grabbed a slice. Maybe two. I'm not here to answer questions. Now I would say that the Kirkland Signature tiramisu round cake is technically a "scoop pudding cake." This is a polite way of saying Costco fully expects you to abandon all dignity and eat this thing directly from the container with a serving spoon at 2am on a Tuesday. Is this an authentic Italian tiramisu? No. This is the 48-roll, bulk paper towel interpretation of tiramisu. It's not going to be the best you've had by a long shot. And yet... there are rumors of people eating it in the Costco parking lot to destroy the evidence before going home. I choose to believe these heroes walk among us. Some reviewers complain about the lack of rum or whiskey. To them I say: be the change you wish to see. Drizzle some on your plate, let it soak in, and suddenly you're much better equipped to deal with Bill Lumbergh and his TPS reports. You're welcome. Overall, this cake is a little light on flavor and about as authentic as a gondola ride in a shopping mall. But as a mid-workday snacky snack, it gets the job done. It's light, it's easy, and--crucially--it doesn't make you feel like you need to lie down under your desk immediately afterward. Bottom line: We don't need no education. We DO need more tiramisu. I paid nothing, ate twice, and I'd do it again.
