I'm not Canadian. I live near Philly.

I'll take pictures of the menu next time I go. The fries are really good too. I hope they don't take them away. :ohdear:

Was just at the warehouse, old dude in front me of bought 2 bottles of Jamesons and 1 pack of chocolate chip cookies from the bakery.

That's a Costco Pro right there.

Also, I got the Lego Monster Truck for $9.97!

2 bottles of Jameson is indeed a pro Costco purchase. The 3 pack of Jameson was on clearance recently as well but I wasn't able to get one.

Costco bakery cookies suck though.

We demand to be taken seriously

More people got married in Costco. Idaho this time.

quote:

The wedding was officiated by the general manager of the store with less than a month's notice.

"When I got the request, I was, 'why Costco?' and I was like 'why specifically the beer and wine area?,'" Bonnie Schaeffer questioned.

The quote "all good things come from Costco" was hung by the table for guests to sign the guestbook.

"I get everything at Costco, and nothing bad comes from here it seems," Wales said.

quote:

Gathered with friends and family, the two were wed Wednesday morning, getting a cake, food and Brown's ring at the very place.

"We love Costco. We love each other too," Brown said, laughing.

If you're the kind of person that prefers crispy cookies I can see not liking the Costco ones. Otherwise, they are definitely above average store cookies.

Alright I thought about this and here is why I do not like the Costco cookies:

1) There's a spectrum of cookie softness, to Olanphonia's point, and yes, the cookies are too soft. I'm not a stickler for crispy cookies, but can't really vibe with either end of the spectrum. Costco cookies are like 9-10/10 soft.

2) Costco does this thing where they try to make up for a hastily made recipe by adding a bunch of some crowd pleaser ingredient. That's a whole other discussion, but it comes into play here. Tone the poo poo down. I don't need my cookie to be half chocolate, I really don't, maybe if it's a fresh cookie out the oven but this ain't that.

3) Related to the softness but the texture is pretty much poo poo. You want some kind of texture difference in your cookie. The cookie can be soft as long as you get a little crisp on the outside, for instance. Costco cookies have no internal contrast, it's a soft lump and you can just TASTE the insane amount of butter and added ingredients in a cheater attempt to make it better.

It's essentially the worst aspects of kirkland products rolled into one (especially how it adds poo poo loads of butter and chocolate/etc to make it palatable).

Don't get me wrong, the cookies only stand out because everything at Costco is so good, PBUC, but part of loving something is also admitting why an aspect of that thing is less than ideal.

One love.

Speaking as someone who has done this for gold medal water fishing in Colorado: PBUC it is as good as you imagine. Especially with the camping cots and a tritip or rib cap you shove in the Costco giant ziplocks with spices and salt rub and then grill over the fire.

What I’m saying is PBUC it fulfills your every camping desire.

Working around these things as often as I have: I think I have to agree on every point. Costco cookies kind of suck (except for the white chocolate ones).

They are also incredibly caloric for their size and always feels like a day ruiner just having one of the things.

I've mentioned this before, but the self bake pepperoni pizza has about two pounds of pepperoni on it. It's cheaper to buy the pizza and remove half the pepperoni for personal use than to buy separately packaged pepperoni.

Good to know, I've heard a few good things about the smaller tents but the larger ones not so much, I just figured hey it's Costco and their smaller ones are good so that probably rolls into the quality of the bigger ones

and Costco's chocoloate chip cookies are fuckin dangerous, I could finish off a whole case of them in an evening if I didn't have any control

Oof the peanut butter one it's paired with is worse to me. My girlfriend got the other flavors box, but I haven't had the chance to steal any yet.
