Early GBS was a poo poo show of news articles and hoping your thread was kewl enough to no get you banned. And gram(cracker)mar nazis. New GBS is still a poo poo show, but in a completely different way. It's fun. I can see why someone would just never check GBS anymore.Cyrano4747 posted:Even posts are in bulk at the Costco thread. I really only need one post...buuuutt...this deal is just to good to pass up. Think of how much we can save!

The line I always drop when someone is heading over to Costco is to ask them to pick me up a four-pack of Pianos. Our a three-pack of lawnmowers. It always gives a good chuckle. Then one day I was there and they actually had a Piano out on display and for sale.

Costco not having any small monitors makes me sad, though. Like, 1440 is complete trash on anything larger than 25" (just like 1080 is for anything over 21.5) but they only have 24" 1080 and 27" 1440.

27" @1440p is basically the perfect monitor size/resolution I think Also, they were doing samples of those double chocolate veggie muffins last week that I always was curious about and they in fact own. Getting my baked goods sweet fix for 110cal is pretty ok by me.

The most painful thing about going to Costco is how good those chocolate chip cookies are but they only come in like a 36 pack so I'll never be able to get them

Clearly I need to get a new bulk sized desk at Costco.

I definitely feel your pain on the bakery. I had to convince the checkout lady once that I really only wanted 6 turnovers and I was fine with the price and no really we don't need to go back and get another 6 pack.

Schadenboner posted:Well not with an attitude like that! Well, I could, it doesn't mean I should. I like that Costco has a pretty decent selection of Gluten-Free stuff. My boyfriend has Celiac, and we're able to get big things of quinoa, banza pasta (though I'm not a fan of the texture personally), cauliflower pizza, veggie burgers etc. we got these cauliflower bites on the last trip, and they're good; kinda like falafel balls.

My friend works at Trident corporate and she mentioned the protein noodles yesterday. I told her about the Costco thread talking about the noodles and she was delighted that people were talking about them and amazed that I could rattle off the nutritionals.

Oh hey, a Costco thread. Awesome. Ours recently got rid of the third party liquor store, and now cells beer and liquor on the main floor. Definitely an improvement in the selection over third party. Also, a few visits ago saw someone eating a pile of onions and relish covered in ketchup off of a drink lid.

Ya the trident family sold the gum business to Mondelez about a decade ago. Most people don't know but John Trident got his money from the missile he invented and sold to the US during the cold war, then used it to buy fishing boats. He had invented the gum to seal holes in the missiles and boats, and sold the missile patent for big bucks but kept the gum one. Ask your friend about it.
