I curse all those drat teenagers I see in the food court, knowing their All Beef Hot Dog + Refill (and optional slice of 'za) won't haunt them in the wee hours of the morning, along with their prostates.

I recall losing the burps when i lost a lot of weight and gaining them back after gaining the weight back (helped along by the co)

Mine only has variety packs of La Croix, and it's a lovely variety... only 6 of glob's own grapefruit ambrosia, then 6 awful lemon and TWELVE lime?! because gently caress you. You like the taste of a warmed over gin and tonic that you forgot about and left on the counter all day? Have a lacroix lime. Have twelve.

The Kirkland Costco food court is remodeling so the only item they have is the $1.50 dog and soda. Back to basics.

They should add a 3.50 Tres Al Pastor Street Tacos + Soda option.
No sauces or cilantros tho.

Re: CO2 chat

There is zero difference between “food grade” and welding / sporting CO2. Companies like Praxair, Linde, Airgas, etc all produce 100% pure CO2 just bottle it in different sizes and packages to fit customer demand. I homebrew and have a kegerator and get my CO2 tanks filled at a local welding supply store. The only gassed that get adulterated are gasses like nitrous oxide could potentially be abused recreationally, and even then they just add a compound that stinks and makes it unpleasant to breathe.

I remember back in 2010 or so my buddy was trying to figure that out since Sodastream's whole gimmick is ripping you off on the CO2 canisters.

I call this the No-Cart Method.

Pretty much. You just gotta get a discarded box from the booze section and my method is if I can carry it out in that box, that's my limit on poo poo I will just randomly buy unplanned. The looks you get at the check out are also pretty confused on why you are only taking a few items with you.

I've been spoiled by the kiosk. If the costco doesn't have one to order food court items inside, I just don't bother with the lines outside if they're more than 5 people long.

I ride my motorbike to Costco like 60% of time so it's very easy to not buy poo poo I don't need. This is also not a problem when I take the car as well for some reason.

The only challenge is getting the correct hook ups. Pressurized gases will gently caress poo poo up.

Thanks, Costco.

And I hope someone figures to see who shows up to claim the seats, and executes them on the spot, because thieves are scum. :)

I just want to say the Victoria marinara sauce is some of the best jarred tomato sauce I've ever had and I'm sad it's not on sale anymore. I should have bought more and stockpiled it

Yea it’s really good. The Kirkland marinara is also extremely good. Picking between the two is like 51 Victoria - 49 Kirkland.

I bought 8 jars last time it was in stock, because it is the best marinara I have ever had.

Edit: Also, it seems to only be available every couple of months and sells out pretty quickly.

Eh? I've never not seen it in stock at Minneapolis and Phoenix area ones.

I'm bummed that they had Grape Nuts for all of one week and I didn't notice the asterisk on the price tag. :negative:

I'm in the same boat. We picked up two jars to try it out and I wish we had picked up more, especially since the expiration date isn't until well into 2020. Definitely one of the better pickups of the past couple of months.

I just wanna say that while Costco is great enough on the mainland, in San Juan, PR it's the only place on the island that sells non-local fruit/vegetables/meat that looks and tastes great and does it for half the price of every other store. Having a membership after seven years in the Costco-less wilderness is unironically one of the reasons we like it here. PBUC.

I would say somewhere in the middle? These arnt thick wool flannels and not light fleece flannels. A good middle ground.Thick enough to keep you warm on a breezy day and thin enough to be worn with layers, maybe a jacket if it's really cold. Best thing to do is pick one up, try it on and see how ya like it. It's Costco, so return that poo poo if it's not the right fit for you.

My personal opinion is that these are the best budget flannels out there and that's saying something. I owned so many god drat flannels over the years.
