I feel like more than a few pizza places that I've gotten take out from had fries in a greasy, increasingly-see-through bag, no?

If the only place you're getting fries in a greasy, increasingly-see-through bag is a pizza place, you're doing it wrong...

Probably. It's a "normal food" related topic...I'm out of my element...

The only time I’ve eaten bag fries is when I’m at Five Guys
I guess it’s a Pittsburgh thing?

Are we talking about fries where the serving vessel for the fries is a paper bag, or are we talking about the loose fries at often end up in the bottom of the bigger takeout bag?
In terms of serving the fries themselves in a bag, IIRC at least some of the small fries from common fast-food places come in a paper bag and not a cardboard sleeve. In particular, don't McDonald's small fries come in little white paper bags?

As a fat guy, allow me to rule on this... by definition “bag fries” are fries that have fallen out of their original serving container, be it cardboard or paper, and rest at the bottom of the takeout bag. They are best because they are unexpected fries.Are we talking about fries where the serving vessel for the fries is a paper bag, or are we talking about the loose fries at often end up in the bottom of the bigger takeout bag?

And yes, McDonalds small fries are in a white paper bag.

All McDonalds fries belong in a bag of the trash variety.

Two questions:
1. Best method for buying a couch? Furniture store? Internet? Wife won't do used, so keep that in mind.
2. How do you dispose of a couch? It's broken past the point where we could sell it.

#1 - good luck. it took us quite a few stores plus going back and forth on what type of couch we wanted before we settled.
#2 - how bad? you'd be surprised what people will take for free on craigslist

I think we found what we want at the first furniture store we went to, so that was kind of nice. Going to go and try a few other places out before we pull the trigger. I don't want to order a random couch online and then it be uncomfortable. I want my butt in it first before we buy.
It's bad. We bought it from Value City in 2013, and it was holding up well until we adopted our most recent dog. Dude was a nervous wreck for about a year and a half, and his only safe haven was the couch. He tore it up to the point where the springs are starting to show through on his favorite spot. Now that he's settled in, we're looking to replace the couch.

put it on the curb and call sanitation to come get it. that or take it to the dump yourself.Two questions:
2. How do you dispose of a couch? It's broken past the point where we could sell it.

1. has to be in person for me, I can't go blindly into something like that knowing I'll be spending several years napping and relaxing. What if it's not very comfortable?Two questions:
1. Best method for buying a couch? Furniture store? Internet? Wife won't do used, so keep that in mind.
2. How do you dispose of a couch? It's broken past the point where we could sell it.
2. Our weekly garbage collection will take furniture, we can just toss it in the front yard (and if it's in decent shape, it will probably be gone by morning by someone dumpster dogging).

I would negotiate removal of the couch as part of the price, especially if they are delivering. Also check and see if the place you're buying the couch from or another furniture store in the area does like a furniture bank for those in need. We have a local store that does that, so I'm thinking in the SC area, you would be able to find someone who would come and take it or where you could take it to. I know you said it's broken but it might be better than what others in need have.

You could also see if some college kid wants a free couch.

Ditto on both.1. has to be in person for me, I can't go blindly into something like that knowing I'll be spending several years napping and relaxing. What if it's not very comfortable?Two questions:

We tried at least 50 couches before we found the right one for us. (We ended up at Mealey's and they ended up negotiating down from their sale price because I told them that I had it narrowed down to that set vs. one at Ashley furniture.)
Our trash service also takes couches so it was no problem. Call your local public works office and ask if they have a pick up for furniture.

We have two local charities that will take furniture donations, and Habitat ReSale will actually pick it up at your house (Goodwill does drop-off only).

Thanks for the advise all... I think we have a La-Z-Boy picked out that was really comfortable. Now it's just getting it at the right price.

The vast majority of furniture in our house is hand-me-down furniture from my in-laws and their friends And I love it all. We've just never spent a bunch of money on a nice furniture set.

Our sofa and loveseat are both from La-Z-Boy, and we couldn't be happier. They had the most comfortable furniture, and the quality is solid. We pass one on the way to Target every Sunday, and they always have between 20-30% off sales.Thanks for the advise all... I think we have a La-Z-Boy picked out that was really comfortable.

How much room to you normally get on furniture store negotiations? I've never purchased anything directly from an in-person furniture store...I love to haggle, so I'm curious about this venue...

I'd love to use the sentence, "throw in free delivery and furniture removal and you've got a deal..."
