Just got the Costco Holiday Guide!

12 lbs. of Wagyu beef on sale for $899.99 rather than the normal $1200.00. What a steal!

A lot of the stuff in the catalog is pretty dope. Not the wagyu beef, though.

my favorite part is dressing like an rear end (sandals, cat shirt, pokemon hat, sunglasses inside) and waving around the black card over a cart full of liquor and steak. also burning out of the gas station in front of dozens of balding midlife fucks in minivans

chicken bake legit but the brisket sandwich has too much coleslaw. k-sig gin is ok but doesn't smell enough like medicine and trees

The people who complain about "paying a membership fee to shop" blow my fuckin mind and are usually shortsighted poor people.

Like dude you make that up in savings in a few trips. You come out wayyyyyy ahead its not even close.

They are the same people who pay their car insurance on a monthly basis. The simple math just scares them.

The whole point of the fee from the start is to keep out the poors who would ruin things like free samples

my nearest costco is like half an hour away

is it still worth it if i probably wont go there super often

I go to the one by me maybe once a month or once every two or three months to stock up on canned/non-perishable stuff I plan to be eating off of and using for awhile. I then get perishables from the grocery stores closer to me. $2 for a bag of limes ain't worth it if most of them rot by the time you've used four of them. Especially when $2 is usually what four limes goes for at the Safeway down the road.
I actually make lists whenever I go to costco, or shop in general, and I think that's what's kept me from walking out the door having spent an entire paycheck like a lot of folks seem to do every time they go.

Weird I get like apples and grapes and artichokes from Costco all the time and they are fine for a while... Maybe it's a function of how far the Costco is from the food delivery place or something.

Yea, I wear that stuff, it's pretty good. We also carry the real brands like Patagonia and stuff but even at 30% off rei price I'm still gonna wear the $30 off brand poo poo.

If you just go for just staples then it's already amazing.

I go there for other things of course but I go maybe every few months for toilet paper/paper towels/kleenex, etc.

I still have some of my toilet paper left (Kirkland, 2-ply, good stuff) that I bought a couple months ago. 30 rolls for maybe $15.

For a second I thought you were referring to actual staples and thought, "yeah, their office supplies are pretty cheap." A good place to buy markers or canned air if that's your thing.

I bet they have a pack of 100,000 staples for like $5.

I was looking for the word essentials, but staples came out first.

Are those beer chips actually beer flavored? Or just intended to be eaten with beer like beer nuts

Uh no but usually when you get a mix of nuts like 85% of them are peanuts because they are the cheapest nut. This mix has no cheap nuts.

That might be a regional thing, we don't have either of those here in the California costco's I go to. Sounds good though, they have plain plastic square jugs of mixed nuts for like $13 that are good as hell but not honey roasted.

It sucks finding an awesome new product at Costco and then they stop carrying it a month later. There was some really good spicy haberno cheese they had for a little bit that I was addicted to but no more.
