What do I want from Costco?

[irul&ublo]

Dominos is in a special category. I think legally they have to call it pizza food.

Double deuce packs of Cholula

Locally roasted coffee

The super thick uncured bacon

Frozen cherries and strawberries

Our store used to carry Jones breakfast sausage. They were thin, frozen patties that were tasty and quick. They replaced them with some Kirkland brand that probably would have been pretty good if we hadn't gotten hooked on the Jones.

So .... you’re jonesin?

You’ve got it wrong. (Hypothetically) Nothing makes her ass look fat....

Her fat ass makes her ass look fat

its her fork that makes her ass look fat

[XXX-er]

Is this a joke?

Ya, my family is pissed about the sausage.

I like the Atlantic salmon. A 2.5 pound fillet makes two great meals for the family. Or one meal and I put the other half in the smoker and make awesome smoked fish. Say what you want about farm-raised fish but that Atlantic salmon is as good as you're going to get in Montana.

bagtagley's post reminded me of other stuff:

dried fruit - big bags of dried cherries, blueberries, and sometimes strawberries - very well priced and "human-sized" quantities, unlike most grocery stores

Home mixed trail mix from the unsalted mixed fancy nuts, almonds, raisins, dried mango, dried apple, dried apricots and chocolate chips. Last almost an entire week.

Smoked salmon for sure.

Went to the new Winco. Just opened so it was a scouting mission, pretty busy but the prices did look good.

Don't know about what impact it will have on Costco but the local Albertsons is fucked.

Me and the guys from work used to go to the Costco for lunch, pre covid, 5 bucks gets you lunch and a show. A dog a slice and a soda and Fridays at the Lehi store its a train of hot moms in yogapants. You gotta keep the glass half full

Winco fan here, they are half the price of Safeway/Kroger and the bulk section rules.

Costco fan, too, but they have the nice stuff for parties and cool trips. Cheese, wine, fruit, nuts. PESTO

I thought the same when Winco opened here but Albertsons still seems to be doing fine. I shopped Winco a couple times but ultimately stuck with Albertsons. It's smaller and easier to navigate.

Spent 1200 there today on my biannual trip. Some good tips in here...

Always find some things I don't need.

Same. We made one visit and stuck with Safeway. I would go back for beer and ice for a party, but not for daily shopping.

[Bunion 2020]

Only plan to shop there after 10 PM. It was kinda busy.

[riser4]

No WinCo here. I'm on the Left Coast of New England. I still have no idea why we have a Costco. Maybe when they were dumping them all over Quebec one got loose?

The discount German supermarkets Aldi and Lidl seem to be popping up everywhere now around here.

It's neat, now I can stop at Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Kroger, Publix, Costco, Aldi and Lidl and still not get everything I need in one place.

Heh. Right?

Aldi >>>>> Lidl from my experiences in Europe. No idea how it is translating over here.

But it’s still Lehi

[yeahman]

I'm the only one in my family who likes these. Good protein.

I shopped at Aldi twice and wasn't impressed: pay money for a cart, cheese with mold on it, wilted vegetables and stabilized baked goods from sketchy places. I can easily get wilted vegetables and moldy cheese from the back of my refrigerator.

[skaredshtles]

But moldy cheese is the BEST cheese...

Used to work in Lehi. Lehi is no Ogden thats for sure.

I LIKE the idea of a deposit (you get your money back...) for a cart. That's one idea we need to adopt. I've never been to an Aldi or a Lidl in the US. I've been to both in Germany and Aldi in Spain. The Lidl near my sister's house looked likes it had been ransacked by a baboon orgy in which all of the participants were also in the midst of divorcing each other. Angry sex. The place was a mess and very out of place in Germany. My sister skips both and shops at any of a few Edeka stores across town. Edeka is pretty nice. Even though I could walk to the Lidl, it really didn't have anything I wanted, which was sad.

Thanks for ideas all.
We already knew the standards, all dog beds are Kirkland, etc
Almonds and cheese ordered for todays trip and if they have Fever tree? Giddyup

Now as to

Depends on parents, if i know they are putting out beers and decent food ( couple of local dads are skilled with the smoker) I am staying.

Plus after the last year, I look forward to a kids party, ffs

Leaving the checkout line, Mrs. L2S saw the $300 bill and says "WTF, we hardly got anything" to which I replied "look at all the booze" and the checker/baggers cracked up.
