Erisian Automata posted:I realize that I'm partially at fault for starting the kirkland TP debate but let us instead focus on different matters - costco produce: It has a bad rap, and indeed the giant sacks of limes/lemons/potatoes/onions need to be watched lest they go bad, but drat do the peppers and even the mixed greens mega-cartons stay fresh. I've had great experiences with produce from the chilled section (mushrooms, salad greens, spinach, kale, broccoli), but pretty much universally bad experiences with produce held at room temperature aside from the tomatoes (particularly the Campari variety).

This is my go-to daily allergy med. I don't know what I would do if Costco didn't sell these. https://www.costco.com/Kirkland-Signature-Aller-Fex-180-mg.%2C-180-Tablets.product.100299849.html

I like those salad kits in the chiller (baja and an asian one) for a simple meal just dump a can of flaked white tuna (drained) and mix it all up and it is tasty.

We have 3 versions here. The Mediterranean balsamic one which is my favorite, the asian one with cabbage which is okay, and some salad that has dried cherries. I'm not a huge fan of cherries, but I bought it by accident once and it was surprisingly good. I used to make my own salads to take to work, but if I cut a bag in half it's a work lunch for about $3. So, at what point is the extra work of making a salad from scratch no longer worth the money savings?

I'll agree with that for the most part. Every once in a while I'll find the whole lot of broccoli florets are turning yellow/brown, I've heard before that there's sometimes temperature abuse during shipping. But if the broccoli is good, it'll last for weeks - though my husband and I can go through two of those 3lb bags in one week.

I don't get produce often but my kids eat fruit by the ton and I feel like it stays fresh forever. The last boatload of grapes we got lasted two weeks and the precut broccoli longer. I joke with my husband that I don't know what they irradiated it with but it lasts a long time. Long enough that we actually eat all of it without throwing any away.

The sprayer is pretty dialed in. Even if you put it in “full spread” it’s not going anywhere but your rear end. Then there’s a dryer too so you can finish with one-two squares of Kirkland TP.

My inlaws bought a bidet seat for my wife and installed it but it was the wrong bowl shape and my wife was like get that poo poo outta here and that was the end of it after swapping the regular seat back. I was kinda disappointed, wanted to spritz my butt. Too lazy to install one myself tho

To anyone who is a fan of frozen pizzas as I am, do yourself a favor and avoid the hell out of the Lotzza Motzza pizzas the 'Co has for sale. To wit: my first attempt, I cooked it as directed right on the oven rack. This pizza has a lot of cheese, so a healthy amount of it melted and dripped to the bottom of the oven floor, leading to a bunch of smoke and a bunch of stank. Also, the directions said to cook it at 400 for something like 18-23 minutes. After that amount of time, the crust was still floppy as hell and the internal temperature was only about 90 degrees. I ended up having to cook it for close to 40 minutes to get it to an edible temperature. The second one I cooked (since it comes in a 2-pack, PBUC) I did on a sheet tray, but since that prevented any air circulation on the bottom, it led to an even soggier crust and took just as long as the first one. Finally, reheating them in the oven was an absolute disaster, since they stuck hopelessly to the foil on which they were cooked and didn't even resemble pizza once I scraped them onto a plate the best I could. Avoid at all costs.

That's the kind of thing you'd expect when you buy frozen pizza manufactured by a company based in Minnesota. Sure, they can handle the frozen part just fine but the pizza part?

I had the most unblessed communion yesterday. I ordered a dog (for the wife) and an italian sausage (for me) to take home, and the guy behind me got a dog. They gave me all 3, which confused, and when I said something, they grabbed a dog and gave it to the correct guy. When I got home, I found I had 2 dogs, and they gave my sausage to the guy behind me. So I paid the extra buck for a sausage, got a dog instead, and didn't get a soda to go along with it.

If you were a true believer, you'd certainly have noted the physical girth disparity between the thicker, more robust Italian sausage and the substantial-yet-slighter hot dog. I'd recommend 10 Hail Costcos and a $1.50 hot dog (with refill) as penance.

He has a super expensive prosumer stove too so IDK why they bought one that wasn't deep enough for a Costco pie. I guess probably all the extra insulation makes it smaller on the inside given its footprint.

I’ve never actually bought an oven but I wouldn’t have any idea if a Costco pie would fit in it if they just gave me the cubic sq ft or whatever. I guess if I do buy one I need to take a Costco pizza with me and put it in them to make sure it fits.
