Not to blaspheme, but I'm thinkin' bout the veggie burgers and chicken tenders that suddenly were ghosted from the frozen section when I went on Friday. I generally love Costco, but hate the way they carry things on and off.

By veggies burgers do you mean the black bean patties? Those things are amazing when they are chopped up and then fried in a skillet with some eggs and scallions. I would be very disappointed in Costco if they were gone.

They had Morningstar spicy Chipotle black bean patties. They are awesome. Now they have some organic bullshit plain veggieburgers.

Went to Costco in search of throw blankets (usually a solid buy, our oldest one from 4 years ago has been a dog blanket since day 1 and it looks great), but I guess they are seasonal. Picked up a rainbow beach towel instead. They also had small camping chairs that are the perfect height for laptop work on the patio for just $20. In the food court I noticed an al pastor salad, which I will be sure to sample when I return for $4 off Spindrift this Wednesday. If I recall, it's on a bed of romaine, red onion, and `banh mi greens.` Sounds pretty good!

Started off my vacation right. Went to Costco and got the $60 hammock and I'm chilling and posting from it in the backyard right now. Just sent a picture of my lower half chilling on the hammock to my wife, feeling like an Instagram model. Also picked up some flowers on the way out because it's my 7th wedding anniversary.

Have discovered a rare Kirkland misstep, the protein bars, which taste exactly like Amway protein shakes and leave your mouth feeling like it's coated with finely-ground nickels. Steer clear. (The only actively bad own-brand item I've bought in like a decade so I ain't mad, and hurrah for the return policy.)

Kirkland frozen pizza is trash. The food court pizza is amazing. Bellatoria thin crust is my fav frozen pizza brand, but only on sale. The cheap pizzas go like (imo): Jacks > Roma > Tombstone

Eh, they're protein bars, I'm not expecting a taste sensation or anything. Most "nutrition" bars just load up with sugar to mask the bland. A nice side benefit of the Kirkland bars is that they're packed with dietary fiber, way more than the others I've seen at Costco. If you want to be Regular Johnny or Jane, give these a few days and you'll be right as rain.

You gotta have fresh shredded mozz to sprinkle on the Kirkland frozens, when they're nearly done. Basically add a layer of cheese, then they're okay.

I had a lovely day today, so I made a trip to Costco as I haven’t been in 6 months and had a 70 dollar reward certificate from my Costco citi card. Call me old, but there is no better retail therapy than buying useful poo poo at a great price with a hot dog at the end for the ride home. It’s hard to have a bad day leaving with 4 lbs of animal crackers and enough fabric softener and dish detergent to last me 5 months. Their butter price is a true gem.

Like it's eatable for sure, but amazing? I get the feeling pizza selection is a lot less plentiful in other parts of this country.

I wish there was a way to cut frozen pizzas in half before you cook them, then easily put them back in the freezer in a storage container, so you don't have to cook a whole pizza every time. I always think that when I buy that 4-pack of thin crust pizzas.

belt posted:anyone tried the kirkland craft beer variety pack? I absolutely hated the Kirkland beer pack I got because everything tasted like a Belgian but it was nothing like Kirkland Light. Also there are two different breweries that make Kirkland depending whether you are east or west coast so that might affect it. Irradiation fucked around with this message at 02:46 on May 22, 2018 |

Went to the 'co tonight to get myself one of them dogs and wound up buying two Star Wars drones. They're on clearance for $39.97. Apparently they were $180 when they came out last October. Got an X-Wing and a TIE Advanced, but they didn't have any of the speeder bike model. Still a pretty sweet toy for $40. Wanted to give one to my nephew but he's 8 and I think it'd be too difficult for him to fly. The box is pretty dope and plays Star Wars music when you open it, with a display case containing 12 bright rear end LEDs. Even the display case has a rechargeable battery. PBUC

I don't normally look at the drones because of the price but I might have to pick up one of these if my Costco has them. I have a nice open field next to my place and it'd be fun to play around with one.

I mean I don't really like the idea of "heh we here in X must do it better" but the fact is I have about 6 pizza places within 15 minutes from me and I live in a small town. Wait I know google can do this for me. 10ish (I did it from zipcode not my address), hmm I should try some of those other ones. I wouldn't turn my nose at eating Costco pizza, and get a slice from time to time, but I think my issue with it is that the sauce is too sweet. It just doesn't come close to being "amazing".

The pizza is 10$ for a very large pie. Its better or as good as most chain pizza. A upper tier local pizza place is going to charge 25-30 for a smaller pizza.
