Wears sunscreen daily, reads the testing methodology so you do not have to, and is emphatically not a dermatologist. Interested in what the lab result actually measured.

Is the Purple grid worth it if I already know I hate the sink of memory foam?

Side and stomach sleeper here too, similar weight, and I lasted eleven weeks. For me the grid was too willing to let my hips through while my stomach position wanted a flatter surface, and I ended up with lower back ache I had not had before. Return was painless, refund arrived within a couple of weeks, and I say that specifically because you should not be scared of trying it: just do not assume the trial is a formality.

How big a difference did creatine actually make for you, numbers, not vibes?

Mine was less dramatic and more useful: one or two extra reps on the last set, consistently, across nearly every lift. Over six months that compounds into meaningfully more total volume, and the extra volume is probably where most of the strength actually came from. Also yes, about 1.5 kg on the scale in the first fortnight that is not muscle.

Front and rear dash cam - is the rear camera the part you actually end up using?

Mild pushback on the standard advice: consider an interior-facing camera instead of a rear-facing one if you never carry passengers and your incidents are all impacts rather than disputes about the other driver. In my case the rear camera through a rain-covered rear screen was close to useless nine months of the year, and I would have been better served by a single high-quality front unit and a better card.

Kirkland kibble at Costco, is the low price the only reason people keep buying it?

Fed it for five years across two dogs. The useful thing about store-brand kibble is that it is made under contract by a large manufacturer, so ask which one and then ask that manufacturer the standard questions: nutritionist on staff, feeding trials, who owns the plant. The store will usually tell you the co-packer if you ask customer service directly. That is a more informative path than reading star ratings.
