Stopped in after work and there was zero toilet paper or even paper towels to be found. That entire section was full of bottled water instead. Glad that I bought an extra package last time the Charmin was on sale. Also got a dog, no seeds, but forgot to snap a pic.

There was a line of carts trying to get to the back of the store, and a line of carts u-turning and coming back empty. I really wonder at the national run on TP.

Stocking up on water tho is also dumb af for 90% of America but especially for west and east coasters

I live less than a mile from one of the largest freshwater lakes in the world. I just run my faucets 24/7 to provide white noise so I don't feel so lonely.

I unfortunately chose tomorrow to make my normal Costco run. And I'm running low on toilet paper and paper towels. It's going to be a poo poo show considering current events. People are going to be extra crazy I think.

my parents used to buy them when I was a kid and my brother and I ate the poo poo out of them. But only ever cooked them in the oven. Also they were always ice cold in the middle despite following the directors. I wonder how they've changed in the past 20 years.

Iv'e never had those, but if the thing you're cooking is coming out cold in the middle from the oven lower the temp but raise the amount of time. If you need to you can jack the temp for a few minutes at the very end to toast the outside.

The directions already called for a long time in the oven, like 30-45 minutes, which is already borderline annoying for what's supposed to be an easy lunch. So we'd just cut them in half part way through.

Now that I am an adult, I have class and buy the Shoyu Ramen bowls instead. And dino chicken nuggets that we make believe is for my kid, but it's been scientifically proven that shaping processed chicken in dinosaur shapes make them taste better.

Costco was busy this morning. The checkout line went down the main aisle and wrapped back to the checkout area. And they only hand you a clorox wipe! I had to manually wipe my cart!

They had some soy based "nuggets" on sample a couple weeks ago and they actually tasted like chicken nuggets. To be clear, they did not taste like chicken, but like chicken nuggets. They keep them by the kimchi and falafel if anyone is interested

I went to Meijer today for regular groceries. They were almost sold out of all rice, dried beans, and salt. Salt of all things. I want my big box of kosher salt because I'm almost out. I ended up getting the last slightly larger shaker. I should have looked for salt at Costco.

I made the (poor) decision to go earlier. The line to check out started in the produce section. No toilet paper or paper towels at all.

how's the 'co's corned beef? Kroger has it for $3/lb, is it worth paying $4.50 for the costco brand? seems like one of those things that might be all kinda the same thing.

more importantly I have some filet mignon sitting in my fridge and I need an ungodly amount of garlic to go with it. It's been defrosted for a few days, so clock's ticking.

Do you have enough toilet paper to last 14 days? Yes -> don't buy toilet paper No -> buy your regular supply

My wife and I were going to go after she got home from work, but one of her friends just went and the line was all the way back to the prepared foods, so I don't think that's happening. She really wants her chocolate chunk cookies too. There's only one left in the house. In other news, the Centerville, Ohio Costco has chipotle Bitchin' Sauce these days and it is indeed good. I had a little more than usual yesterday and today my farts smell like Bitchin' Sauce.

Costco clothes update. The Kirkland jeans fit just fine. Perfect fit for my size. They're decent quality but maybe aren't the most fashionable. The Urban Star jeans are crazy. They are SUPER stretchy. Like, I had no idea jeans could stretch that much. It's crazy. They are super comfortable and fit great as well. The hiking pants are also great. Pretty durable. I got a large size and 30 length and it's just right. They also stretch of course. I got an XL Adidas shirt and it fits just like any other XL I can get from any other store. I was able to try the jacket on in the store and that XL was just fine too. So, I got... 2 pair of decent quality jeans 2 pair of good quality hiking pants 1 standard brand name t-shirt 1 decent jacket $91 The Adidas t-shirt alone could be $25-30. That's pretty amazing.
