I cooked dinner for 4 people on a diet last night so I steamed half a bag of Normandy blend and mixed in some sauteed mushrooms as a side.

Every single bite was gone.

Dang that sounds delicious. Steamed veggies are surprisingly excellent

Does Costco refund raw food?

Specifically, that pre-packaged made in their butcher seasoned chicken wings take home and bake? It was pretty much unedible as the seasoning was basically 99% salt. Barely managed to eat 2 out of this 5lb box.

Yes. They might bitch about it but they will. Especially if it sucks. Even if it doesn’t.

re: Self Checkout Food Court Kiosks...saw they put them in at my store from the checkout line with my stuff. Was going to get a dog and decided to skip it because there were dozens of people swarming them scratching their heads. It was chaos and as much as I wanted that free refill I didn't want to get caught up in it.

Self checkouts are always the slowest lines in regular supermarkets too. It's like anyone over 50 has no clue how to use it.

If you have the Costco Visa, you don't even need to put it in the machine, just tap it on top and go grab your dog :smug:

Granted, I only have a n of 1 for the Everett, MA Costco, but I think the self service kiosks have really decreased the wait. A weekend 12pm food court visit went from a 5-15 minute line, to food in 2-3 minutes. Although I may be the idiot for accidentally ordering a slice of pepperoni for my vegetarian wife. Luckily it only took a couple minutes to correct my error and get a slice of cheese for her.

I've never actually ordered food directly from the food court, I always bought my poo poo from the cashier and then it's maybe 3 minutes from walking up to the pickup line and getting my food if there are other people ahead of me.

This is something I didn’t know was possible, until I saw it on this thread, but the next time We went to Costco the kiosks were there.

Are your taste buds like completely dead? CFON is basically work coffee. Actually even the coffee your workplace buys from Uline or WB Mason is probably better. What's wrong with you?

Buy this please

Stopped by after work today and snagged some of those peanut butter pretzels, and dang you guys weren't wrong. Those are really good.

Also, probably goes without saying, but the Kirkland frozen meat lasagna should always have a place in your freezer for pasta emergencies. It saved the day yesterday.

When it comes to coffee I am a very, very cheap date. CFON has been my favorite coffee for years. I like it more than anything from SBUX or DD.

My wife made the call and bought the giant Folgers they have there. If CFON isn’t back in a few weeks I’ll give the Kirkland a try.

That brings back a memory. The Costco (then Price Club) that I used to go to as a kid had pneumatic tubes at every register they used for checks and making change at the drawers.

They took them out years ago though.

The P Tube system was a thing of wonder when I was a kid going to Price Club and later early Costco Where do they all go? When do you decide to shoot a load down one? Can you fill it with nickels?

Dang, I was in a few days ago and thought I'd look for something like that and never saw it. We got the chicken pot pie instead and have 3-4 days worth of food.

Is it in the frozen cooler section, where the fish sticks and burgers and things are?

Went to church yesterday.

Picked up a sherpa blanket, I was skeptical before but it's lived up to the hype.

It's amazing how much cheaper Costco is on some items while still being high quality. Bought a huge thing of chia seeds for like $6 that would've cost me $25 at a regular heathen store.

Also the liquor store was selling beer and wine advent calendars. If I could fit the beer in my fridge I'd be tempted but the wife is already mad that the home made eggnog is taking up a bunch of room.

Yeah it's next to the frozen pizzas in my store. Easily the best frozen lasag I've tried, blows Stouffers out of the water. Also it's a huge tray for the price.

My oven sucks though, so I usually have to cook it for an extra 20 minutes longer than it says

Does it use knobs? Pull it off. You can probably calibrate it.

Get an oven thermometer and run it up to 350 until it turns off the heat. Check the thermometer and it will probably read like 320 or something. Pull the knob, loosen the screws, turn the dial (it should be marked which direction), If you're lucky it will say poo poo like "each mark is 10 degrees" like mine does.

Speaking of cheap-as-poo poo apartment ovens, did you know many of them let you pull the top up? Give the top a good yank. Some, but not all, let you pull the top up so you can clean it better.
