Yeah but the sheets are like the perfect size for nearly everything so why bother with the cutter?

because you get way way way way way way way more foil for your money with the roll than with the precut sheets.

The precut sheets don't cover a half-sheet sized baking pan so they're useless

When I cook I put about four feet of foil on the counter and stick my cutting board on it. Do all my prep and then wrap up the trash and toss it. Clean counter.

Frozen chicken thighs, the bibigo brand dumplings in the freezer (beef mandu and the little flat ones in microwave trays), a stuffed pepper take and bake, one 12x12 pack of hot pink rubber cocks

Olive oil

If you're low on pepper C's peppercorns are about 1/8th the price of anywhere else and are a premium corn

The naan breads keep forever in the fridge (you wet them under the sink and microwave them prn)

Chemo-kitties can have “accidents” too!

I buy the Tillamook brand cheese snacks, individually wrapped. They're good for about 4 months in the fridge. Likely to be a regional thing for the brand, but I think all US Costcos have some kind of cheese snack.

I also use foil for grilling veggies a lot so it seems kinda dumb to not have an in built custom sizing option for cheaper.

Though I suppose i could understand precut sheets for like a restaurant or something.

It's like sandpaper and you need to fold 8 of the sheets on top of each other to get the same thickness as one sheet of charmin that costco also sells for like $3 more.

I've been tryin' to speak with you for a long time
I have kids and kids use up too much toilet paper. It is even worse when they use Charmin because then they use the number of linear feet of the Charmin as they would the Kirkland and the result is a clogged toilet.

what no thats def not my experience at all. I find kirkland brand TP super soft like wiping rear end with silk and reasonably thick. it's so much better than like 95% of TP out there. but i'll try the charmin next time. i know ive tried other charmin stuff from like target and safeway and it's been kinda poo poo?

Agreed. Completely standard toilet paper that is perfect. I don't want to wipe my rear end with a pillow. I need it to work. 1 ply is... well it's just sad. Kirkland TP just barely fits in my holder. I can't believe that anyone would think that this stuff is actually bad. Maybe prefer something else? Sure. But it's objectively not bad. The poo poo you find in public restrooms are bad.

Yes, softer butt wipes are important but it's also about making efficient use of your money. If the costco stuff is like 3 times cheaper per meter of roll but you need to use 3 times as much to equal one meter of the "more expensive" stuff, you're not really saving any money.


OXBALLS DOT COM posted:

I know they have at least two varieties, green and blue?, and one sucks poo poo. Once my local carried both, now they don't. Maybe there were phasing out old stock on the good kind in favor of the new stock bleedy rear end in a top hat kind.

I miss minneapolis costco. They had better stuff and 5x as many samples every day.

We tried the Kirkland TP (I don't remember what color it was on the packaging) and it was close to the Charmin but not close enough. It was also cheaper than the charmin, but not cheap enough to be worth the discrepancy in quality. It wasn't *bad*, it just wasn't as good. That said, the Cottenelle wet wipes are better than the Charmin wet wipes.

I only buy the finest products for my rear end in a top hat and my wife's rear end in a top hat.

Kirkland TP is great, but also any toilet paper that avoids getting poo poo on your hands is good enough if you also have flushable wipes.

Flushable wipes are a nightmare on the sewage systems. Sanitation workers have been raising hell about this plague for years now. Sure it won't clog your toilet but it'll make a horrible mess for everything beyond your toilet. Also, that's one more consumable you have to buy. Just get good TP from the get go and you won't need twice as many butt wipes to poo
