Holy poo poo I forgot that if you're in the upper Midwest, instead of the generic polish sausage you note can get a juicy bratwurst from Usinger's, made in bratland, Milwaukee. They bake them in the pizza oven and they come out incredibly grilled. Don't forget to get some free sauerkraut with it. Boom.

Oh yeah I stopped by during the packers game and loaded up with artichoke dip, toilet paper, wrapping paper, and lobster tails for surf and turf for Christmas. Checkout took all of two minutes. Always go during the local games and you'll breeze through every time.

I live in a county inhabited by some of the slimiest rich white people in the country.

Costco is where I go to have people push their carts into my car doors and leave them. My insurance company hates costco.

I still love it, though. I mean, that nut mix so good.

By leaving their carts embedded in your car's doors, they are creating a job. Some one has to put them back.

I don't think that's 15k kcal but it's definitely not something you'd want to eat unless you're doing something like eating light thinking your day isn't going to be very active and then getting invited on a last minute 50km bike ride.

Also biking to Costco is fun and healthy I should do that tomorrow we're apparently out of chicken strips.

Going to Costco for me is a sure fire way to enrich my wardraobe with a new pair of sweatpants, and 200 dollars worth of vitamins.

Also if they have Tres Leches cake, buy it. Even though the fuckers had it at 12 dollars and now it's 16 or something crazy, its not actually that crazy, only crazy good.

It's a gimmick because people aren't buying new tvs. It's the same reason they came out with 3d tvs. Trying to reinvent the wheel to get people to replace their working ones.

Get a non-curved OLED if you can. Sadly they are less common than curved ones but they are the best looking tvs ever made. You don't even need a 4k one. Though I think there's only one OLED, non-curved, 1080p tv in existence.

Buying a TV at Costco is always smart. You get a two year return policy.

If you aren't sitting on a couch directly in front of it it looks bad. Its very niche.

Last year (man, prices have dropped since then) I got a Vizio 55" 4K Smart TV for about $800-900 or so. I'm quite pleased with it. I got it from Costco of course.

Ya. They're called CobraFists. They're really nice especially when it's like -20c. On a warmer -5c day like today once they warm up you can actually ride without gloves.
