I really gotta get in on this roasted chicken deal. I see it all every grocery store but it makes perfect sense for a single guy living alone. Buy the chicken, eat it as a chicken with some sides (Normandy Blend of course being one) and then make a soup/stew of it the next day. 'tis the season of soups and stews and crippling loneliness.

That lasted like 2 months, I was so sick of the dogs that it took years before I could eat them again. I get the pizza every once in a while, but after 8 years of repeatedly eating food from the food court, my digestive system just can't easily handle it anymore.

Switching from Progressive to Costco for my auto and renter’s insurance saved me over $300 for the same exact coverage, and I’ve been eating on delicious Costco instant pot pot roast all weekend. PBUC.

Can you buy just one package of muffins or bagels at the co, or must they be sold in pairs?

I wish they let you mix/match the 2-pack deals. Like, I want to buy a package of danishes and a package of muffins. They are both 2 packs for 7.99(I think), so I'd like to buy one of each.

I love them, but as a bachelor living alone there's no way I could eat 12 muffins/8 danish before they go bad. The croissants freeze well enough.

Argyle posted:Same. We freeze the muffins and the cookies. It's all good. Sometimes I'll pull a muffin out of the freezer before I go to bed. Other times I'll just throw it in the microwave for like 35 seconds from frozen. The chocolate ones are really good microwaved as the chocolate chunks will melt. I individually wrap them with plastic wrap, then store them in freezer bags. You can fit half a dozen in a single freezer bag.

Usually where the blankets, mats, and pillows are, in the central aisle towards the front, just past the protein powder. Unless your ‘Co varies significantly.

EAT FASTER!!!!!! posted:How can I get my local Costco to stock some of the stuff other Costcos stock but our Costco doesn't? From last page: Inventory is based on demographics of the warehouse location. This is easy to tell in a city that has multiple warehouses. I see more fancy cheeses/expensive wine at the Issaquah WA location that the Tukwila WA location, even though Tukwila is a bigger store. Tukwila is also a half business delivery/half regular whse (It's also the biggest whse sq foot wise) in the company. Basically if you want the fancier foods, hit up a whse in the rich part of town. You can call the number on the back of your membership card for item suggestions also. The reps are supposed to pass those directly to the buyers, just remember that they hate you and all other callers (per my daughter who did 8 months there) Also: If anyone on the Seattle/Issaquah area needs a job, there is a chronic shortage of CSR's in membership and travel. Pretty sure you get hired if you just apply. Pay is not horrible and it's a good "foot in the door" position for the rest of corporate.

I went yesterday but didn't read the thread and so I didn't grab a Sherpa blanket!  I signed up for the executive membership. Is it a good deal? I kind of just did it. A dude at the checkout came up and checked how much I spend. And because it was only $25 at the time and is 100% money back if not satisfied.

JIZZ DENOUEMENT posted:I went yesterday but didn't read the thread and so I didn't grab a Sherpa blanket! The executive membership pays for itself at $60 if you spend more than $3000 a year at Costco. It will pay for itself at $25 in $1250 of spend. We often use costco.com, and between that, grocery, electronics and so on, our spend makes the executive membership very, VERY worth it. PBUC.

EAT FASTER!!!!!! posted:The executive membership pays for itself at $60 if you spend more than $3000 a year at Costco. It will pay for itself at $25 in $1250 of spend. I could see it working for large families but it feels nearly impossible for 2 people. 3k/year is 250/mo and considering a lot of groceries (veg, fruit, pork, chicken) are much cheaper at local places I just can't see myself racking up that much on frozen treats and dairy. Maybe if you ate a lot of beef I guess.

And paired with the Visa, your executive membership Costco spend-back is 4%.
