What’s the deal with the turtle tho

Good question, different materials probably have different triggers that cause them to degrade. I trust anything plastic less and less every day.

I have had that happen with some home tools but not with kitchen stuff.

I wonder if it's related to the detergent I use.

I've been finding that the black grippy plastic on oxo "good grips" degenerates into a sticky crumbling mess over time. I hate their products so much.

I've never actually had the blades go blunt, for me the handle or casing always snapped from pressure

I haven't! I'll give it a go. I just watched the video, looks great!

Costco has some pretty nice towels. You can find high quality towels at pretty much any department store - they usually have a range of qualities. Just don't buy the cheapest ones

I’m gonna recommend a small business: Red Land Cotton! American grown cotton and made entirely in the south. HIGH quality sheets and towels- you’ll never be disappointed!

We are almost done with a very extensive bath remodel in our house. Our current towels are cheap things from Costco that don’t match the new room. I got a big set of matching towels from Brooklinen and I beg to differ, I’m quite sure my wife will be really happy to get some really nice towels for the new room.

Thermos food jar, i love it

Came here to say this after just commenting on the gift thread. No brand I have tried compares to the thickness of Lands End.

LOL

The Charisma towels from Costco are pretty damn good. They don't seem that fluffy in store, but wash them once and twice and they transform into really good towels (says something on the tag about this)

Can you bleach them?

Can you bleach them?

> nobody else was allowed to use them

Bingo.

I get the ones that are on their way to the dog-drying towel pile.

Red Land Cotton towels are our favorite, no need to pay $100 for a bath towels. We got them on sale at $40 as gifts for each other before we moved in to our house. They are super awesome and are like sponges

Me.

Hilton to Home has some great quality https://www.hiltontohome.com/category.aspx?bath-and-spa

Did you try the oxo good grips zester grater?

parachute (https://www.parachutehome.com/) has been good to me

I really love the brand Silk & Snow. We bought their organic mattress almost two years ago and it’s incredible. We plan to get a new bed frame from them as well. Really good Canadian brand

Look cotton quality first. Supima, California Pima, or labeled 100% long staple cotton. If they don't list the cotton type, I would avoid it. Long staple cotton is softer, more absorbent and sheds less over time as it is made up of long fibers. Cheaper cotton is mixed with broken, smaller fiber which pill and shed. Egyptian cotton is long staple but unless it reads 100%, count on it being a marketing ploy as one only needs to contain Egyptian cotton to be labeled as such and a high percentage of small, cheaper fibers. As far as decent brands at good prices, the Supima cotton towels at Land's End and excellent quality for the price. The Company Store, and Authenticity50 are good additional online sources for Supima cotton towels.

More later.

My wife may love you but my wallet hates you lol
