Has anyone used the Costco Autos program? I'm in the market for a used Honda Odyssey and wonder if it would be a good deal to go through Costco.

IKEA is great when you're just starting out in life and you need a chair/desk/shelving/bed frame combo and your budget is $237.42

7 years later that bright red minimalist chair and the shelf/desk/sock drawer are sitting in the corner of your apt looking a bit shabbier and it's like, perfectly good why get rid of it, you've had three long term girlfriends do their grad thesis while sitting at it, before having the same angry breakup, and your current attempt at a girlfriend is painting her toenails and some got on the desk, right next to that other spot where another girl painted her toes there, you're like, am I ever going to get married?? Should I buy a new desk? Do they still make the Fflüûrrghn'D'rùūndle??

If you're not into the whole negotiating thing it's good since Costco does that for you.

Their bookshelves are perfect for vinyl collectors. And you can pick them right out of the warehouse without having to walk around the store.

I haven't been to Ikea in years but that place really was great when I was dirt poor. So like, 10 years or so. They are always far away from me though so I've only been to maybe 2 of them a couple of times.

I just had that veggie bowl and am a fan. Thanks for the recommendations guys.

This thread inspired me to ditch hot dogs with only ketchup and to instead try one with mustard, relish, and loaded with them onions. It changed my life

Also - 15 bottles of pure leaf unsweetened tea for 10.99. They go for 1.99 individually in stores so to me its worth 30.00. A deal good enough to slam yo mama for

Does anyone's Co' still have Chamelon cold brew in the 64oz boxes? It seems to have vanished from all the Houston stores. It was a significantly better deal (like $16 for 64oz) vs $1/oz for the 10oz bottles at HEB.

We had some today in Austin but it was low. I can check tomorrow if we're still carrying it, it sold way better than that bottled coffee we had.

Does Costco carry Teriyaki Sauce? I found plenty of soy sauce, and some Mr Yoshidas marinade (which seemed like a thicc bbq/teriyaki hybrid), but nothing else. I had to make it a brief 'scto trip but I think I went up and down all the aisles.

I want to buy following things:

You do you boo, food is all about what you enjoy I was just saying personally I don't like it on my dogs for the same reason I'm not a fan of ketchup, it's just too sweet. I'd totally be down for a pickle grinder by the onion one tho.

I used it in February 2015 to get a new Honda Fit. One of the best decisions I ever made, going through Costco. They sent me to a dealership where I was expected and treated well, and the only haggling involved at all was over the trade-in value for my old car. I ended up getting exactly what I expected and hoped they would offer me for it, so it was a fantastic experience overall. Love the Fit, too.

FYI It's all Kimberley-Clark

On the West Coast, at least, Kirkland is all made by Georgia-Pacific.

Source: I used to haul it from the paper mills in Halsey, Oregon all the way to San Diego, Winnipeg, Grand Prairie(B.C.) and all points in between.

Delivering freight to Costco is almost as nice as buying poo poo there - unlike 90% of receivers, their unloading people and managers are competent, quick and personable. I could deliver paper products to three Costcos in one city in like three hours. Only downside is that they get all their deliveries before the stores open, so you can't pop inside and grab a dog.

They have BBQ brisket sandwiches at our Costco. They are pretty drat good but they're like 5 bucks. Hard to take that plunge when the cheaper hog dogs, italian sausages, and chicken bakes are right THERE man.

You can get a better deal than the car buying program but if you're interest in an in demand vehicle that dealers won't mark down, it's a pro choice. I mean some might find it worth it to save the hassle anyway

Yes, but only in the 5 gallon pail. It's one aisle over from the 25 lb bag of rice.

The funny part is that most people's impressions of Costco are stuck in the late 90's, when massive bulk buckets of goods were most of what they sold. In modern times they usually sell bulk by bundling multiple packages that you could buy from the regular grocery store, and a large amount of their inventory isn't sold in bulk.

If you want the true old school Costco experience, go visit a Business Costco.
