Uhhh Costco switched my annual dues payment card from my usual Chase card to a Costco Citi that I've never used. Now I have an outstanding payment and late fees with Citi bank because the billing address was a previous residence. Has this happened to anyone else?

Has anyone bought one of the Blackstone memory foam mattresses off of Costco.com? Pretty nice deal with frame and all.

I have to say that I loved my memory foam mattress but holy poo poo are they hard as a rock when it’s cold.

I definitely wouldn’t buy one unless you can return it easy.

I’m sure it’s no where near authentic but gently caress it, I’ll take tasty any day.

Those kits are "DIY" for people who own their own vacuum pump, or "know a guy".

Would not recommend those to anyone unless you already know what you are doing, or are willing to buy that unit twice to learn the hard way.

Not clicking on all those to search them out, but some of the MRCOOL systems come pre-charged. You just pop the seal once everything else is installed.

I subscribe to this dude and he put one in a few weeks back. "Tighten some nuts" and "turn some valves" doesn't seem too complicated if you follow the directions and do it in the right order.

I’ve tried both the microwaveable pouches of lentils and chickpeas and they’re both pretty good. Very heavy on the salt of course.

The pouches of brown rice & quinoa with garlic are real nice too (screw cooking rice if I’m making that little of it).

I guess it depends on the recipient? Also depends on where you live. In CA I'd go with the $48 cognac, Knob Creek handle, Cazadores 1l of reposado AND añejo, or a scotch of preferred origin.

Mine occasionally has their Rye, too. Turns out one of the Costcos here is the leader amongst Costcos in hard alcohol sales (maybe in CA, maybe all of them, wife heard it from a rep at a conference and she didn't specify). It always has a huge booze selection and carries all those super expensive bottles in the display case. I'm truly blessed with it's presence.

Oh, Dee, you card. :-*
Completely forgot graduation is this weekend. Weekday nights are usually relaxed but tonight it was packed. Tons of people blocking the aisles and fawning over their kids with other parents. Cake carts blocking all the veggies in the cooler. People walking three carts wide down the wrong side of the aisle. Second worst Costco experience I've had overall. If I ever become an upper middle class dude who drives an SUV to get groceries and walks slowly down the left side of the aisles while on a Bluetooth headset, I give anyone and everyone permission to kill me.

They did have an oled 55" LG on clearance for $1,400 though. Seemed like a good deal but we just got a TV in 2015 so it's hard to justify it even at that price. Anyone looking for a tv might wanna check their local warehouse.

There’s no real seasoning on it although it’s miles more flavorful than any other store-bought pulled pork I’ve had.

Pro-tip is to cut it in half (at least) and freeze those chunks. 2lbs of pulled pork is a massive quantity unless you’re feeding a bunch of people.

Yeah but that’s not really a “seasoning” in my book. There’s no sauce or spice mix in it unlike some of non-Kirkland prepared meat tubs they also carry.

I've had the pulled pork before at a party. It's not bad but you definitely need some sort of seasoning or BBQ sauce (which is what I did).
