Shout out to the kirkland merino wool blend socks, they are loving great for keeping my feet nice and cosy in lovely winter weather. drat I love them.

Those Smartwool-knockoff socks are an amazing value. The branded versions are like $15-$30 per pair. Kirkland brand is less than $20 for 6 pairs. I do wish they had a little more spandex in the blend though. A little goes a long way but 1% isn't much. They sure are a whole helluva lot more comfortable than the wool socks of my youth!

I feel like Costco rotisserie chickens are basically the same as just about every other rotisserie chicken I've ever had. Which is to say totally fine but nothing special.

That seems like a whole lot of effort and hassle to do something that'll take ten minutes with a shovel. Unless they have a manor estate with a mile long driveway and in that case, why wouldn't you just keep it?

As a lifetime city kid up until a few years ago, I said the same thing until the first time I had to shovel a suburban driveway by hand.

Anything more than an inch or two will take up your whole afternoon. Then you'll die of a heart attack because of your sedentary goon body isn't used to being used.

Oh I'm well aware of how great a snowblower is and had to do my share of suburban driveways by hand growing up. I just don't understand why you'd go through all that trouble to do it once. If it rarely snows, just shovel by hand. If you need a snowblower, buy a snowblower and keep it.

That much I agree with.

My wife's family all live within fairly close of one another so they all chipped in to buy a super good snowblower. Which is as dumb as it sounds, because whoever has custody of the snowblower at that point is the only one who gets their driveway cleared within a reasonable amount of time and I'm always stuck shoveling by hand.

I've only returned twice, and both were within a week.

The first was a bag of sweet potatoes that I didn't notice had a dead potato on the bottom and was dripping sweet potato grossness. I didn't notice until I got home and it ran all over my counters.

The second was an unopened bag of finlandia cheese slices that grew mold in three days.

Eat your cheese faster nerd. Don't even give it a chance to mold. Standing over the sink, bag in hand.

rotisserie chickens are the bomb too if you just want to strip them and fill up some some tupperware and have delicious sandwich meat for a week. Plus you can make decent stock with whatever is left over.

I kept an eye out for the Bitchin' sauce last church trip, but no luck. Whereabouts in the store does one find it?

If a button falls off a piece of clothing I either try to fix it myself or better yet have my sister do it. She's good with that type of stuff.

Honestly, me too, I have a pack of jean-style rivet buttons, but this one tore out from the fabric and left too large a hole. I could have, I guess, moved the button further "in" on the waist, but I've done that with an older pair once and it messes up the zipper since it moves the top too far over.

My Costco has only been carrying the bitchin' sauce for like a month or two, but they seem to be selling it faster than they can get it in. Usually there's like a 5 day period between when they sell out and when they get another shipment in. So if your Costco doesn't have the sauce maybe check back a few days later and they might have it.

Well when a tiny 6oz container is $5.99 at Whole Foods vs a 2 lb container at $6.99 at Costco is like no brainer and such an insane deal

I really wish their msrp for smaller ones was a lot more reasonable becaus they have like 6 flavors but gently caress I ain’t paying that price to try them esp knowing it exists for that Costco price per oz

But yeah chalk me up to Costco being out of them for the last 6 months. They had em for a month or 2 over the summer and haven’t even seen a spot for it. Either I’m missing them or they currently aren’t stocking them at my Richmond Costco

My three year old has been indoctrinated to Costco already. Last two times we went he pretty much demanded a smiley face on the receipt by the checkers at the exit. Then tonight at a grocery store he got upset when the cashier circled something on the receipt and it wasn't a smiley face. Full on toddler tantrum followed. PBUC.

they're better than the safeway/whole foods rotiss chicken that i've got, both of which being horrible. costco's is nice and juicy (probably the saline injections), but yeah it's not that they're great, it's that it's 5 loving dollars, holy poo poo you can't even get a latte for that price.

What do you guys do with your rotisserie chickens? I'm a sad lonely goon and I'm not sure what I'd do with it. I mean, I'd probably just start tearing pieces off and shoving them in my mouth hole but it'd be nice to have a plan with the leftovers or something. If there are any.

Make a chicken sandwich.

Carve what you can off of it then go to town on it with a couple forks to strip as much meat off as possible.

Optionally after that toss the carcass in an instant pot to get some bad rear end stock.

One thing I like to make is using the porridge setting on my rice cooker using the stock and chicken chunks for congee.

i mean thats all you do, tear it off, eat it.

i do recommend carving it up the day of purchase because it gets pretty slimy and offputting when left in the fridge for more than a day. and yeah making stock with whatever is left

The closest I’ve ever come to going vegan was when I saw someone fumble one of those chickens so hard that it popped out and pinballed back and forth along the belt at the checkout.

It’s like, that chicken lived and died to be a slapstick moment and then thrown in the trash.
