What do I want from Costco?

**irul&ublo** · 02-19-2021, 07:17 PM

Some years ago, I saw Chateau Petrus at Costco. 900 a bottle. Good price at the time.

And Grillo’s kick butt!

**bagtagley** · 02-20-2021, 06:08 AM

Boxer briefs
Nut bars
Huge bags or caramel and cheddar popcorn
Mega jars of Kalamata olives

Keep those jump packs good and charged. I topped ours off and tossed it in the car. Needed it a year later and it didn’t have enough charge to jump the car. Still awesome though, and double as a charging block when camping.

2nded on the Kirkland olive oil, especially the organic EVOO in the brown bottle.

Woodsy isn't much of a red meat eater so that leaves more of the Ribeye deliciousness for the rest of us.

Heh sorry, I was thinking of your absinthe thread years ago with E and that's what my fingers typed.

I have a google calendar reminder once a month to charge it.

That’s more than the wife can handle so hers just stays plugged-in in the car now.

I totally agree, but I did figure out the trick to them. When putting the lid back on, you have to press really hard on the edge and it will snap audibly, and you have to then do that in a few places around the edge to make sure it's really closed. I had those things spilling all over the place with a shitty lid that doesn't stay in place until I figured that out.

Yes I know the trick, but it's still a pain in the ass.

My next $1400 Federal welfare is getting one of them

Best deal on cat litter anywhere

I disappointed myself, I could only spend $80 of my $326 Citi rebate check...

They have raw tortillas that you cook yourself. Those things are money. Hard to go back to pre-cooked after you use these for a bit. Usually have corn and flour.

**Hopeless Sinner** · 02-20-2021, 12:19 PM

bag of frozen egg rolls, money in an air fryer

To be fair, we have one of these and three vehicles. Because I can't decide which vehicle it belongs in, it sits in the house. It's not an intentional strategy. However, none of us go very far these days. And the rescue party is supposed to grab it on the way out the door. It was in the beater until we replaced it's battery. It should probably go back in the beater. That reminds me, the calendar reminder went off earlier this week, I should charge the battery pack.

**ötzi** · 02-20-2021, 08:12 PM

I've never actually set foot in a Costco. There I said it. It's not like I wouldn't ever, I just haven't.

I hear they're big?

edit: 47 miles, I guess it's not gonna be soon.

**evasive_MT** · 02-20-2021, 08:30 PM

If your store still has them, you really want the $25 synthetic fleece Pendleton blanket mentioned in the KQ Claus thread.

I haven’t seen IQF halibut in the freezer section for a while, but we always have their frozen shrimp and salmon in our freezer. And I grab a shrimp cocktail every other trip or so.

We buy their organic oat milk and organic vanilla almond milk for smoothies. It’s packaged in cardboard cartons that keep at room temperature so we have a few in the basement.

Locally they have Venus gin for like $25.

Fever Tree tonic in 5.3 oz cans

They had Merino wool base layers for like $14 recently.

Almonds are good. As is Dave’s Killer.

Some good cheese and wine to select from

Three pack of Olli salami.

Its like Aladdin's cave of the lamp. You go in with singular purpose, but then get tempted by all the other treasure. And doomed to wander the oversized isles with your too small cart - better get a floor pallet - while trying to come up with justifications to the boss why you've spend a month's wages on items and quantities that would make a texas prepper proud.
Don't forget to stop at the food court so that the heartburn kicks in just as you get in line for the gasbar.
And you get to pay extra for a 'membership' (not a free 'rewards card' like the other guys that track your purchases) just to have the privilege of walking through the door.

IMO all the extra $$$$ you are gona spend will negate the deals i don't have a memeber ship and I never find much i want in there anyhow

used to be a contracter, they tried to search me and i said no cuz according to british law, you can't search people at random,

thats why you now see the sign saying they reserve the right to search you

Agreed. There's no going back from the par baked tortillas.

Coastal white chedder + Bitchin sauce + eggs + english muffin is the ultimate easy breakfast sando. Sub in the pesto when you're tired of the chipotle.

Biggest downside of Costco is that a solid majority of the shoppers have no clue how to handle a shopping cart. I'm not prone to road rage but will quickly make an exception in the aisles of that store.
