those are those tikka masala frozen naan pockets right?

yeah if you can oven them they're better. i thought they were solely O-K but a little overpriced for the quantity. like i'm skinny-fat and all, but i usually eat fairly light and even after 1 of them i was still hungry. if they were like 25% bigger or something at the same price, they'd be a good value and a good quick 'oh poo poo i forgot my lunch what do i eat' frozen good.

Yeah, the problem is that you need two of them, or three if I'm really hungry.

I am poor and so far the only thing I've bought from Costco is black beans, a chicken, blueberries, vitamins, spam, canned chili, frozen philly cheesesteaks, and olives, and I hate the olives.

What else is good to buy from Costco? Keep in mind I can only carry a single backpack full of stuff at a time.

The pesto in the refrigerated food section is pretty good. Also, if you take allergy meds, they are incredibly cheap at Costco. A year supply of generic zyrtec (aller-tec at Costco) costs $13.95.

You can also order from Costco off of Google Express. Prices are marked up a little.

You can return the olives and any other food item that you end up not liking as long as 50% is left.

Don’t forget you can also get like 6 month supply of Zantac for 6 months for like 10 bucks (was on sale for $6).

It’s good to keep on hand even if you don’t use it every day.

Ya fake as in it isn’t actual caloric energy just a stimulant to perk you up.

Energy drinks usually have a bazillion calories (via sugar) to actually provide energy. (And sometimes caffeine too)

On another note..

Went to costco to load up on berries (blue and straw) and picked up a chicken taco kit for dinner, it was great. Even have leftovers!

E: those folding wagons are great too, especially with kids.

can confirm these own. my company has a very slightly heavier-duty one (bigger wheels, 150 lbs) for work and use it all the time to carry equipment, soil, nuclear density gauges, etc. we had a funny experience several weeks ago where we were working in a spillway and the flip-bucket area was flooded which we didn't expect, and only by luck the contractor had a pair of rubber boots. so we hopped in this and he pulled us across to the dry part. 4 of us engineers in vests n hard hats, including a 75 year old guy, were all crammed one by one in that wagon and pulled through water like a pharaoh god. poo poo probably held up to at least 200+ lbs even thouigh it was rated for 150.

ill probably get my own just to have, could be useful for pumpklin season, beach days, etc

If I could only get stuff at Costco that I could only fit in a backpack then I would 100% not have a Costco membership.

Been reading the news and I hope that idiot off-duty cop that murdered a special needs man and tried to ventilate his loving parents as well loses his membership forever.

Of course the altercation happened in the samples line.

Is Costco not selling Prime Strip Loins any more? Last 3 visits, no strip loins. I don't like paying the extra $2/pound for the ones already cut. It's already expensive, as it is.

These are great. You can just give the seat and lid a good push and they gently close. No more getting yelled at for accidentally "slamming" the seat.
