Costco Birkenstock

I bought these Birkenstock sandals on sale here in Canada for $69.  Initially I was excited because they were half the price that they usually retail for.  I bought them in a smaller size from what I usually wear (size 10, I wear 11 in sneakers).  I was excited about my sandals but once I started doing a little research on them, I found out that Costco isn’t an authorized dealer of Birkenstock.

This had me worried because I assumed that they were fakes.  It also had me questioning Costco because I’ve been a loyal member for years and have never seen them sell fake products.  But after inspecting my sandals for a while, and wearing them I came to the conclusion that they were authentic Birkenstocks.  As for them being a non-authorized dealer I figure that it’s because Costco has such a great return policy that Birkenstock (the company) wasn’t ready to honor any return policy, so Costco decided to sell them without their authorization.  Boss Move!

IKEA Chili Dog

I was shocked when I found out that IKEA in Canada sold chili dogs.  I don’t know what was more shocking, that IKEA sold chili dogs or that it only cost $1.50 Canadian (about a $1 US)!  Either way, I had to try them out and to my surprise they’re not that bad.  The wiener and bun are basic (almost like what you get at school) but the chili is good and comes with plenty of meat and beans.  For the price and quality this is one delicious chili dog that I recommend anyone try if they visit IKEA in Toronto.
