After seeing this store while driving on the highway, hubby and I decided to go and check it out…read more Upon entering the store, we noticed there were two different types of shopping carts for customers to use which were orange or green as well as a dash cart option. Hubby asked employee for more details about the different shopping options and the employee told him customers could shop the "normal way they" pay via self checkout or with a cashier or do the "dash cart" option. Hubby was told that the "dash cart" option was for Amazon Prime members who had their account connected to their bank account. After hubby confirmed his Amazon Prime bank account information, he was given a special cart which allowed him to scan our I'm while shopping for a completely contact-free experience As we walked down the aisles at Amazon Fresh Murrieta, I noticed that some of my favorite items cost substantially more there than elsewhere (e.g Veganaise is $9.99 at store I usually shop but was $11.57 at Amazon Fresh.) Hubby loved scanning his items while shopping and hearing the "ding" sound to signal that the scan was a success. When arriving at the salad bar and hot bar, I was pleasantly surprised to see allergen listed above the hot and salad bar food, I was disappointed by the small amount of vegan friendly bar options which consisted of ingredients to make a salad, vegetable stir fry, an Asian inspired chopped salad, and dolmas. I will admit that there was a bit of a learning curve when using the dash cart for salad bar items but luckily, an employee was nearby to walk us through the process. During our shopping trip, we learned that whenever you plan to purchase an item from the "salad bar," you have to select "add food or code," type in "salad bar," place your box in the back of the cart to have it automatically weighed, then place the box of food in your cart. Though this technology is cool, there we're times when the cart gave an error that we didn't put the item in the cart but this was easily fixed by pressing a button confirming all items weee in the cart. The ambience in the store was pleasant with several employees stocking the shelves, clear digital signage in the aisles, and wide aisles to accommodate several shoppers. My main pet peeve at Amazon Fresh Murrieta was that the store grouped vegan frozen food mixed with non vegan food. I personally would prefer to have vegan frozen food separate but understand that this might not be possible due to freezer space constraints. As hubby prepared to pay for our groceries, he was extremely pleased when he walked through the dash lane and exit, was checked out contact free, and the cart presented him with the choice of if he wanted his store receipt emailed to him. Overall, we both liked the shopping experience because it was interactive and thorough but disliked having to confirm that items purchased were actually in the cart. Likewise, we and would like to see more clearer signage in the hot bar/salad regarding discounts since we were told by an employee that food from there areas were reduced in price during 6pm-7pm but didn't see a discount on our store receipt.

I have some extra time now that I am retired so I am working on improving my home insulation.  I am…read morestarting with the hottest room in the house.  The side of the window that opens is the hottest in the house.  Currently I have aluminum foil taped onto a sunshield which I placed between the glass and the screen.  That worked for a summer but the tape was disintegrating from being in the sun. Looking on amazon.com I found some window insulation. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DSHVSFYX?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 It was reflective like aluminum foil.  I found it to be thin and have similar insulation quality as a double layer of aluminum foil.  It is pretty flimsy and tricky to keep in place against the screen. Not awesome but I like it better than aluminum foil. On the left side of the window I have 3 1 inch sheets of foam insulation and on the right side I have a double layer of the aluminum window insulation plus a sunshield. I took some temperature measurements. wunderground.com temp for area 87F wall 79F window with 3 layers of 1 inch foam insulation 82F window with aluminum window insulation plus sunshield 84F So far using 3 inches of foam insulation is the best insulation I've found.  I'm going to keep looking for better insulation for this troublesome window.

One of the best Acai bowls I've had in San Diego!…read more The size of the bowl is super generous and they load it up. I feel like Acai bowls are getting outrageously expensive and every topping is an extra dollar, but at the place I feel the bowl is really worth it. Loveddd their most popular bowls there with the Nutella and peanut butter drizzle. There's seats inside and outside. Perfect place for a sweet snack!

This comes packed with flax seed, granola, strawberries, bananas, blueberries, honey, and coconut shavings. So tasty and decently priced! The bowls are huge (easily 1.5 meals) for $12. We snacked on our bowls by the lagoon before the commute home and it made for the most perfect Friday.

They blamed it on Amazon or shipping and denied sending me one that works. The plastic is cheap and there is no padding in the box. The product breaks as easy as glass no wonder they keep breaking. The girl at Rugged Ranch says it happens all the time. Customer service doesn't want to replace their shipped broken product or even back it up. So I guess I don't get a basin that works although I did pay for it. Boxes were not damaged. BTW.

Review for AMS Fireplace I live out of state and was…read moreexpecting a call in early December about my fireplace log set, but I never received one. When I called, they did find my order and confirmed it was in, but I had to follow up a few times due to how busy they were. That said, AMS Fireplace absolutely came through-- they installed my fireplace logs on Christmas Eve, which I really appreciated. Saul was outstanding: extremely careful bringing everything in, respectful of my home, and he arranged the logs perfectly. His attention to detail and professionalism were excellent. Would recommend, just expect that you may need to be proactive with communication during peak season.

AMS Fireplace was completely unprofessional from start to finish…read more They never came out to inspect my fireplace. Instead, I sent them photos and measurements as requested. Then, when they finally showed up on the installation day, they told me they "couldn't work on my fireplace." That should have been determined before ever scheduling an install. They also changed the install date and later claimed they had left me a voicemail and sent an email -- neither of which ever happened. To make matters worse, they kept over $1,000 of my money and ignored more than five emails requesting a refund. I was ultimately forced to file a claim with my credit card company just to get my money back. This was a complete waste of time, stressful, and extremely disappointing. If you value your money and your sanity, stay far away from AMS Fireplace.
