Tiny pixels, tiny tires

Costco trip count for January: 2

The Vizio 47" 1080p LCD tv is finally in stock at the Tempe store, priced at $1899. It was set up right next to a Sony 46" 1080p LCD...and as uncalibrated as they may have been, the Sony did look better IMO. At $2899, I'm not sure if the amount it looks better is worth the extra $1000. Regardless, it's good to have a low cost option now.

I also noticed on my way out the door that their rack of tires for advertising has at least two sets worth of 13" tires in it. I doubt they sell two sets of 13" tires all year! But then, I suppose that might be why they're advertising pieces and not in the tire center.

Walking down the automotive aisle, I noticed some new Turtle Wax products that I haven't seen before, as well as a 3-pack of microfiber wash mitts with a mf drying towel for just under $11.

Finally, after advertising outside the store for so long, there's a little kiosk set up with information on their granite countertops. Too bad I don't know anything about countertops; I have no idea how good a deal these might be.
