Things Not to Buy at Costco

Found an article on Yahoo! Finance,  4 Things Not to Buy at Costco.  It is talking about US Costco, but I think some of them are relevant to us down under as well.

Things Not to Buy:

  1. Designer's Clothes
  2. Imported Shrimps
  3. Sheets and Towels
  4. 4-kg of Oranges


Things You Should Buy:


  1. Chocolate Truffle
  2. Eyeglasses
  3. Laptops
  4. Extra Virgin Olive Oil

In my opinion, 

Not to Buy:
  1. Designer's Clothes - we may get some designer's clothes that we cannot get anywhere.
  2. Imported Shrimps - Australian product is better.
  3. Sheets and Towels - Target may have cheaper product, but I feel quality of Costco product is better.
  4. 4-kg of Oranges - I hardly get any fruit in Costco.  Bulk size is not for me.  Watermelon is great at Costco though.
Do Buy:
  1. Chocolate Truffle - This is great product with great price.
  2. Eyeglasses - Not sure yet.
  3. Laptops - I think you can get better value from other shops.
  4. Extra Virgin Olive Oil - I will try this out myself.

The Bose Soundbar 700 Won't Connect to App

Bose has one of the best speaker sound. I learnt about Bose more than 25 years ago and still a fan.  I bought Soundbar 700 in 2018.  It took me a while to set it up but it has been giving me troubles once a while.  Recently, I was not able to connect Soundbar 700 with my phone.  Done the factory reset on the soundbar, it didn't work. I spent hours reseting everything multiple times and finally I found this article,  https://www.bose.com.au/en_au/support/articles/HC1380/productCodes/bose_soundbar_700/article.html .  Tweaking them all and finally got it to work again. I think the most important setting is to TURN WPS OFF on the router!  Hope it helps.

Restricted enrolment schools (Melbourne Eastern Region)

Due to facility limitations, Eastern Metropolitan Region has a number of schools with enrolments restricted in various ways. These schools are not required to enrol students outside their neighbourhood area unless they have spare places. They are referred to as having an enrolment ceiling and/or a designated neighbourhood area (formerly known as zones).  Any additional students must be enrolled strictly according to Department of Education and Early Childhood Development priority criteria. SCHOOLS WITH AN APPROVED ENROLMENT UNDERSTANDING Designated Neighbourhood Area In some instances the Regional Director may need to restrict new enrolments at a particular school and will therefore specifically designate the neighbourhood area (formerly referred to as a zone).  Children who live outside the Designated Neighbourhood Area cannot be guaranteed a place at that school even if it is their closest neighbourhood school.  The the following schools have an apporved ...
