I try to limit myself to once a week (mostly for meat, and occasional enchilada tray with premixed margarita bottle for special weekends). A handle of premixed margaritas and an enchilada tray: a true sign of a special weekend. The kind of weekend to be savored, and taken in with appreciation.

I bought 4 packs of some anti-fatigue mat tiles, 36sq. ft. for only $13, cheaper than harbor freight. Going under my above ground pool this year.

I got my Executive Member rebate check and my "invoice" to renew in the mail. My check was for $34... I guess I don't spend enough to warrant the executive.

I know there's variance by region but the Gerard Bertrand Cote des Roses rose wine is $11 right now at church. It's amazing and generally retails $17-25. I got an acai bowl and it was good, but the woman at the register basically tried to talk me out of it. "We have the strawberry sundae again!" "No, I want the acai bowl." "50/50 with vanilla?" "...no, just acai."

We had quite the little week at Costco last week. Case of Dogfish Head and a bottle of the 7Y Bourbon for the World Cup party, a sheet cake, sodas, wine and 8 (!) pizzas for my daughter's birthday party, a blender for my mother in law. PBUC.

Went to a party this weekend where most of the supplies, including the dessert, was bought from BJ's. It's just not the same, my friends.

Eating 3/4 of a pound of poke for lunch today, thanks Costco. Half the price of any of the nearby poke shops too. Almost no wasabi on it today though, I think the guy making it forgot.

I searched for the cream cheese bagels but couldn't find them.  Also they were apparently out of Dr. Bronners Magic Eighteen In One Peppermint Hemp Oil Pure Castile Soap.  Otherwise it was great! They had bags of straight up frozen broccoli, which is like the Normandy blend but just straight up broccoli which is my fav thing anyways. Also loaded up on a slice of cheese on the way out, refill was consumed.

If you're into smart home stuff, Costco has some goddamn deals right now. Nest Hello Doorbell + Google Home Mini for $180 (Doorbell is normally $200 on its own) Better deal: Nest Thermostat and Google Home Mini for $170. The thermostat is usually $250 on its own and a lot of states have energy rebates for getting one. NH has a $100 rebate making this entire bundle $70 bucks.

Chinatown, I know you eat the Normandy blend like a true hero. You've mentioned that you sometimes just have a bowl of vegetables. What are some of the ways that you prepare them. Cooking, seasonings, everything.

I'm lazy as hell, so this is the easiest way to do it - Turn oven to 400 Line your baking sheet pan with foil or parchment Distribute vegetables on pan Season with salt/pepper, and drizzle olive oil on them Put in oven for 15-20 minutes until nicely roasted

I can do that. I am extremely lazy, depressed, no energy, etc., so I was even just thinking a bowl of the blend in a microwave with soy sauce on it. I really should try it roasted though. But it's hard to justify doing that just for myself. Although I do have a toaster oven so that might work.

NORMANDY SOUP I just use the Gordon Ramsay broccoli soup recipe, except with the Normandy blend. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KR44a_5v_A I skip the goat cheese because I don't usually have any on hand. But I do recommend adding a few peeled garlic cloves to the initial boil, as well as a shake of cayenne or paprika to the blender. A splash of cream never hurt anyone either.

Argyle posted:NORMANDY SOUP Just a little bit of goat cheese adds so much to this recipe, though I wonder if another kind of cheese will do. I don't typically eat goat cheese so it sucks to drop a bunch of money on cheese that I'll use once and never again for a soup recipe that otherwise costs about two dollars.

Guys, I went to our BRAND NEW COSTCO WITH CAR WASH GRAND OPENING today but it was so busy that literally every spot in the small parking lot was full so I wasn't able to stop by and partake in the savings. Maybe I can go next week and take pictures of anything that's interesting. At least the gas pumps were completely empty.

Renegret posted:Just a little bit of goat cheese adds so much to this recipe, though I wonder if another kind of cheese will do. Yes - blue cheese or cheddar are both great in broccoli soup - just crumble or grate a bit into the bowl just before you serve so you get little bits of melty cheese in your spoonful of soup; it's v. nice. edit: a smoked cheese would be nice too, also edam, gouda, maasdam - pretty much any cheese is worth trying out - even a dab of cream cheese would probably be tasty.

The car washes are half the price of the local chain, and don't try to rip my license plate frame off. They are also busy as hell, but that's pretty normal for Costco anyway.

Eastvale/Jurupa Valley? My condolences. I'll have to try that broccoli soup recipe, seems easy and hard to gently caress up.

Sadly, I need to buy new tires for my wife's car but getting appointments booked at Costco is such a pain in the rear end that I'm doing tires elsewhere this time (they also don't carry the brand I want)
