What do I want from Costco?

[The AD]

I got almost $1,000 back on my Costco Citi Visa this year. That put a very nice dent in the cost of a new TV last month.

I want red wine vinegar, but they don't carry it.

2% savings on $2 chickens ain't worth the hassle.

Make it for yourself.

Worth it for the 4% on gas alone. But, I now rock a two-card setup of Citi Costco and Citi Double Cash. Costco card for Costco, gas, restaurants, and travel, Double Cash for everything else where the Costco card only pays 1%.

The more you spend the more you save.

They used to, but you had to buy a gallon

I do similar. Except I have a couple of other cards in the mix with different bonus categories.

I would not recommend Kirkland AA or AAA batteries. My last couple of packages had them leaking before they were even removed. I also had to throw out several devices due to the leaking batteries.

Unless your AssBlaster9000 takes a zillion batteries at a time, I wouldn't recommend ANY battery multipack, even brand-name, from Costco. They go bad before I can use them all.

Need to upgrade to the AssBlaster9001, they moved to USB rechargeable and dropped the batteries.

Indubitably.

anyone try these $35 'cascade mountain tech' 3 piece carbon fiber trekking poles for ski poles?

They come with powder baskets.

Bad idea?

They're great I've used them as hiking poles and as backup ski poles for years

Yep. Going on 5 seasons skiing them. I did get a cheap pair of aluminums from L9 as well this season. They are my travel pole. Bought them originally for hiking/hunting. Took them to Europe several years back and kept skiing them. No issues.

Agree with that. I've probably had 50% of these leak while in devices. Also had a number of devices ruined by them.

I have always used Energizer rechargeable batts for my Garmin and a few other things. Decided to buy a bunch more rechargeables and use those rather than disposables.

Good to go, I even used them one day when i forgot my regular poles.

They work well as hiking poles and are well liked by most.

The cassava chips with sea salt Costco has right now are really good

anybody use their seal a meal? Getting ready for a grand trip.

I’m looking to spend my bonus money on a set of kitchen knives. Anyone bought set from Costco? Like or not?

Use it all the time. Few examples are;
-Freezing excess garden veggies and berries
-cut up the Costco 3lb blocks of cheese into smaller portions so it stays fresh longer
- I just made about 20 egg burritos with Costco egg whites and froze them and sealed them.
- cooked up three racks of ribs for Super Bowl. Cut them into half rack portions and sealed them for freezing. Now I pop one in the sous-vide for reheat and they taste like they just came off the grill.
-buy the bulk bags of rice from Costco and divide into small packages and seal.

It gets used most every week for something. For us it was a worthwhile purchase.

Don’t bother, buy a really nice 10” chef’s knife. It’s all you really need

That didn’t answer my question. And you actually need more than 1 knife.

I have not, but I'd say if a set looks good to you, take a shot, Costco doesn't generally keep selling products that folks think are shitty, and there's the return policy to protect you if you don't like them.

Buy the consumer level set they have at Costco. They’re all the same at that level
