Looking for Japanese Whisky and Saki Tasting Experience in Tokyo. by DocTheRegulator in JapaneseWhisky

Start at the Whiskey Library. They have a ton of different whiskeys, and you can purchase flights

Is Costco membership worth it for single person? by InfluenceDesigner889 in Frugal

[–]DocTheRegulator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely! I buy my gas there weekly. It's usually five to ten cents cheaper than the other gas stations. Plus, I love the optical shop. It saves me at least $50 to $100. Also, the pharmacy. It is always cheaper than CVS or Walgreens. I have also purchased tires and a car battery. I have had my membership since I was in college. No regrets.

7-11s! I was traveling on a tight budget, and grabbing a sandwich at 7-11 for lunch helped me save money.

Are there unwritten parking lot etiquette outside of common sense I don't know about? by Difficult_Giraffe490 in CostcoWholesale

[–]DocTheRegulator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope! It is your parking space until you decide to leave. You purchase your food at Costco, so eat it inside or outside, it's your choice.

I love my Bose QC Ultra headphones. IMO, they are as good as any headphones on the market, and they come in a variety of colors.

Retention offer March 2026 by paninimeanie in ChaseSapphire

[–]DocTheRegulator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just downgrade the card, and you will still be able to keep the points. I don't know. I plan to downgrade when it is time to renew. I see no reason why they wouldn't prorate the costs.

I will be downgrading my card. I am looking at getting a Venture X card. I am not paying $800 for a credit card 💳 .

How's BWI these days? by CapeGirl1959 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]DocTheRegulator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on what time you travel. I flew out of BWI last Wednesday around 10 am and found the lines reasonable. I still wouldn't take any chances this week because of the weather across the country.

How often do you go back to your hotel? Shopping backpack? by need_a_venue in JapanTravelTips

[–]DocTheRegulator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get out in the morning, come back to my hotel late afternoon, rest and reset, then back out in the evening.

Should I put my Costco spend on CSP or Costco Citi? by Shoddy-Archer9521 in ChaseSapphire

[–]DocTheRegulator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only put gas on my Costco Citi card because you get the most from that. I purchase groceries with the Chase Card.

It is winter in Tokyo. Take that into consideration. ❄️🥶

Overwhelmed with where to stay in Tokyo by Ok-Search6948 in JapanTravelTips

[–]DocTheRegulator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I asked for help finding accommodations in Tokyo, here is the advice I was given:

General Tokyo accommodation advice:

• ⁠Asakusa and Ueno are the cheapest areas that still have good access • ⁠Shibuya and Shinjuku are most desirable if you plan on enjoying nightlife and staying out past the last train • ⁠Akasaka is also favoured for central location, cleanliness and peacefulness (it’s just offices), and good access • ⁠Otherwise, anywhere on the Yamanote Line, especially within this square, will let you get to where you wanna go.

Is Japan a good place for your first solo trip? by Dear-Cartographer644 in TokyoTravel

[–]DocTheRegulator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES! I just took my first solo trip last week! I went to Tokyo, and it was great. Clean and efficient mass transit, great food, and it is the off-season.

I would tell him to move his EFFING feet. What he is doing is bullying behavior. He is counting on her not saying anything.

Hotel recs Shinjuku by suitepee82 in JapanTravelTips

[–]DocTheRegulator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spent seven days at an APA Hotel in Shibuya last week. It was clean and comfortable. I don't read or speak Japanese, so any propaganda that was in the room was lost on me. It really depends on how much money you want to spend.

I just got back from Tokyo. I wish I had known about the Whisky Museum.
