Was just enjoying a Kirkland Signature 1/4 lb PLUS hot dog cooked at home with the family. My wife asks my two year old - "do you like them better at home or at Costco?" He responds emphatically, "Costco!" While I am taken aback by his discounting of my expert grilling, he did give the correct answer and I cannot fault him. Also these are legit as fuuuuuccckkk

Edit ^^^ picked them up at Laguna Niguel on Heather Ridge this weekChinatown posted:Was in Irvine this morning and after the meeting driving home I had an emergency poop situation. Costco was just down the street. Clean bathroom with Kirkland brand TP. Picked up a couple $0.25 bottles of water from the vending machine on the way out feelin' fresh. PBUC Irvine Costco is a shitstorm at peak hours, and gasoline is awful at all hours. But their selection of items is always top notch if you can make it through the parking lot with the elderly Asian women driving 1990s Lexuses.

I haven't gotten any pickles at the 'co before but I like Clausen whole pickles in the refrigerator section. Near the cheese I think. They are very crunchy because they aren't cooked/heated. Otherwise Milwaukee Dill. Everyone has a jar of that in their fridge here. (everyone but me muhuhahaha) I like pickles.

Very crisp. Flavor is like one of the deli pickles from the big barrel (which is the correct flavor), but a little more towards garlic.

I'd give the Costco ones a try next time I'm there, I haven't seen them at the Tustin District 'Co but haven't looked either.

I just recently started buying two jars of the refrigerated Clausens. I love whole pickles. They are generally crunchier than spears in my opinion. The more garlicy and dilly the better.

The texture of cooked pickles is so much softer. The inside of cold pickles is a brighter light green, almost like a normal cucumber whereas cooked pickles are green all the way through.

Avocado oil has a much much higher smoke point, has a delicious buttery taste, and is super cheap at Costco. Seriously try it sometime.

So many olive oils from so many countries. Hell, so many cooking oils in general. It's hard to grasp all the ways Costco can more than adequately fulfill your reasonable expectations

The first time they were on clearance/had been on the shelf a while and I thought they were way too soft at that point. I've nabbed fresh ones the last couple of times and they are way better. Overall a great pickle, just don't forget about 'em in the back of the fridge.

If that oil is actually good it could be a big help in my "All olives other than Kalamatas are complete trash and all olive groves should be uprooted to provide more groves for kalamatas" idea.

Only place I could think of off hand where you night get away with it in the Puget Sound area is the glider field on Willows Road across from the soccer fields, and that assumes that neither the glider guys nor the soccer parents complain.

Weird, this is literally the first place that came to mind when I read that comment too since I start my runs there fairly often. There's plenty of open parks and playfields you could use it at though.
