Those are my current fav.

The honey mustard mix though, that gets hard to eat after about half a bag.

forgot to add that my Costco had the entry section, you know the one right at the front door with all the hot stuff. It was every item you needed to ski and snowboard, sans actual boards or skis. Pretty cool.

Also they have all the christmas toys and decorations already. :wtc:

How long are the sleeves on the flannels? I wear mediums, but I have long arms. I've almost given up on long sleeved clothing because they always come up short.

Normandy blend is good except the veggie amounts are very inconsistent. Get through half the bag and it’s mostly just broccoli and cauliflower left. One time we got a bag and it was around 75% cauliflower.

Btw, the Kirkland toilet paper sucks. Don’t care how much it’s on sale. You might as well be buying Scott for how thin and flimsy it is. Pay the little extra for the Charmin or whatever. You’re worth it.

yeah ive noticed that sometimes. i'm actually fine with it's mostly broccoli and cauliflower, i dont particularly like those sliced yellow carrots. but yeah it can really vary a lot

iirc kirkland has 2 types of TP. one is basically Scotts quarter-ply translucent rear end-Chaff version and the other is a good 2-ply. i think the "good" one is called kirkland ultra soft bath tissue. I used to buy it for years however I semi-recently bought the Charmin Ultrasoft a year or so ago when it was on sale and that's all I buy now, it's only a little bit more and worth it.

Sad day at my costco. They look to have stopped stocking Kirkland Super Premium Vanilla Ice Cream. High quality ice cream is a very hard find here in South Korea, these past few years they've been stripping a lot of foreign goods from Costco and simply stocking more local stuff instead. I am really considering not renewing my membership.

$19.97


Idk why they marked it up so high and or why they marked it down so low. Though, in my experience, $19.97 makes way more sense than $35 for a 12pk.

Yeah, it's an item on closeout and likely won't be back. The asterisk in the top right also means it's the last of inventory.

quote:

The last two digits in the price can tell you a lot. Regular priced items usually end with a .99 ending; though sometimes this might not be the case. However, the ones with the .97 endings are those items that did not sell and must be cleared out. The mark downs on close out items might not be huge, but at least you’ll know that they are somewhat discounted and that they won’t be in stock much longer. Once they sell out, that’s it.

Is there an asterisk (*) in the upper right hand corner? The asterisk in the upper right hand corner of the pricing sign indicates items that will not be restocked. So, once they’ve sold out of the current stock this item is gone gone gone. If it is something you really like, this is your tip off to buy extra because chances are it will not be on the shelf the next time you’re at Costco. These items may, or may not, be marked down, but now you’ll be able to tell that from the the price, right?

Same with the normandy blend. Although I like the carrots and stuff just for the color. poo poo, I just steam them. And since they are frozen and have so much moisture I just throw them in a pot with no water, season them, and put the lid on. They come out just fine, fully cooked, still moist, and crunchy which is how I like them.

I never understood the TP issue with Kirkland brand. People in here HATE it but I love it. Then, as you said, I learned there are two types. I get the ultra soft bath tissue which is the 2 ply and comparable to any other normal stuff. Maybe except for charmin but if you want to half-rear end (heh) wipe your rear end with a smooth pillow then go for it.

I've been tryin' to speak with you for a long time
I have a friend who's father was a very open alcoholic and who was also very open about the fact that the only reason my friend was conceived was that mom and dad were both absolutely plastered on MD 20/20. My buddy calls it "conception juice."

Edit: The Kirkland Ultra Soft TP is absolutely fine. I actually prefer it to Charmin, which isn't really rough enough to clean as well as the Kirkland stuff. That may be different if a goon diet leaves you with liquid shits that only need to be blotted up, I'm not sure. Plus if you re used to using normal TP, and then try Charmin, you will use way too much because it is at least twice as thick as normal TP.

I name this haircut "The Sad Rhino".
Can someone point me to (or post) a list of all the Costco tricks? Like the price/asterisk thing... what day they rotate stock... when sales start... that kind of thing? It would be good to have in the thread I think.

Maybe Chinatown could add it to the op even so people can go back and reference it.

I now live across the street from Costco. Like, it would take longer to drive there than it does to walk. I feel very blessed. I can literally go every day if I want to, but I’d rather go when I know something new is going to be put out or the prices change/sales happen.

Can the congregation point me to the proper scriptures please?

It probably varies a bit by warehouse, but the Issaquah one is always pretty solid, and it feels like there are two entire rotisserie chickens worth of meat in it.
