The one and only.
I went last night instead of lunchtime today because they called to say my contacts were in. Took about 10 minutes waiting to get contacts but then I went and grabbed a bag of 30 rolls for $5 and checked out. The checkout lines were not bad and took maybe 5 more minutes.

They literally had a PALLET of pumpkin pies along with a huge table with them. Also a huge table for the bags of dinner rolls.

One of the things I appreciate most about Costco is the checkout lines move fast. The store can be crowded with people, but once you hit the checkout line, you are pretty much home free.

Went to get gas and put in a prescription (cant fax em in anymore D:) the other day, was going to get gas first but notice a parking spot in like the second row from the door. Schwing! No lineup for food, been a long day at work so I grab a little snack to go, 4 bucks. Go to get gas, literally 0 lineup (its a really chore here sometimes). Picked up my script yesterday, $4.87 for two bottles of pills (thanks gfs insurance). Oh yeah, did I mention the awesome super warm quarter zip pullover I'm wearing that I picked up for 20 bucks last week?

Eh, I have a knack for picking a line that has someone who needs special attention. This usually involves employees running back and forth or counting out largish sums of money in cash right at the stand.

My friends, many Costco deals have started early and it's my first Costco holiday season and I just can't believe it.

I bought the Nest Hello doorbell today, which is normally $230, at Costco and it comes with a year of Nest Aware Subscription (normally $50) and a Google Home Mini (also normally $50) for $179 loving dollars. All other companies are running this same deal but just the doorbell and nothing else for $179. PBUC.

I managed to convince my wife to go to Costco and then bring me a slice of pizza at work the other day. I had an hour left.

That doorbell is actually pretty cool. My buddy has one and I went over to his house right before the Packer game started. I rang the bell. Nothing. Just his dog barking and whining. Ok maybe he's in the bathroom. "Hey Pennywise, I'm at the grocery store still. Sorry about that I'll be there in 10 minutes." Cool. I mean wtf why did you ask me to come over and run out but he was at the store and told me what was going on.

Pretty neat.

He communicated with me through the doorbell.

You see, when I rang the doorbell, it sent that info to his phone where there is a camera and he can talk to me and see me. That's the entire point of the product.

the pallet of pumpkin pies was rather impressive. I bow down to such modern marvel. Went yesterday around 2, the crazy parking suggested it would be a poo poo show, but it really wasn't bad and there was no waiting at any of the lines.

I wonder how much madness it is today.

Kings rolls are pretty much on par with any other dinner roll nutritionally.

did you just assume the kings rolls are extra bad for you because you think hawaiians are fat, or that hawaiian food is always bad for you, or something? It's just a weird thing to have strong opinions about

e: like go check out the nutrition of a kings roll vs a costco dinner roll. The kings roll is arguably a bit healthier, though they both have a bit different approach (kings has less salt but more sugar, but kings has fewer calories, etc)

It's the sugar. All rolls aren't going to be healthy, but Hawaiian rolls are loaded with sugar.

Today was weirdly peaceful and the first quiet day of the entire week actually. I assume because the wisdom of the crowd was that it would be insane to go today meant the crowd didn't go today.

I drove passed the Tustin Costco gas station to get to the Michael's near it and the lines to get into the lines for the pumps were like a quarter mile long on either side. 50 cars deep lined up just to get into the gas stations lines. At like 2:30pm. Shits crazy, probably way worse than the actual Costco.

yeah, also more important, precious time

i mean ive been poor and desperate to save a few bucks whenever possible, but even then i'd say $3.15 for costco gas vs $3.25 at any other station for a 15 gallon tank for like $2 saving is not wroth spending 30 minutes waiting, then again im alos not extremely patient person.

i hit up costco gas if my tank is almost empty and im actually shopping at costco and if there's not really a line, but otherwise gently caress it, not worth that zoo when i can be in and out at any other place for a buck more.

went back to grab some more of that epic Beef Bulgogi today, find out they no longer carry it. I am so sorry. Clearly Costco is punishing me for my misdeeds. Grabbed some umami potstickers instead, hopefully they will fill the emptiness in my soul. Also, found out that they sell bibigo bulgogi mandu at several local groceries. Sorry costco, I will be an apostate until you bring them back... also, that sherpa blanket is amazing 10/10.

I recently stocked up on some more allergy pills. As I was walking down the aisle I noticed that Kirkland has 3 diff allergy medications! First one was about $5 bucks then I found one that was $12ish then I walked down and say one for $13-14ish bucks! All Kirkland branded! IDK WHAT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ANY OF THEM WERE

Look at what drug they say it is and then look for the branded stuff next to it or pull out your phone and Google for the brand name stuff. I use Allertec, which is generic Zyrtec. It does both indoor and outdoor allergies.

Personally, Zyrtec works best for me of the OTC options I've tried without drowsiness, but it really depends on what you're allergic to, and how badly.
