Been a month since we've been so today I suited up and braved the covid-19 quarantine Costco. No TP, but that's fine since Publix has plenty. I saw that PRIME New York strip was quite cheap, just over 10 bucks a pound so snagged a pack. Other than that, went in, got my poo poo, got the hell out.

jeeves posted:No TP in any church around the Portland area. Safeway near me had about 20 packs of TP mid-afternoon today. Which was good since we were actually getting low. Might be worth checking non-Costco locations for TP unless you're willing to line up an hour before open.

Anyone gone to a business center to see if they have industrial style TP?

I'd rather wipe with a loaded gun than use industrial ply

I was randomly checking the Costco website yesterday, and the Kirkland baby wipes were in stock, so hopefully they actually show up next week. Kinda sucks that the Kirkland diapers are sold out online and in stores. Two kids at home in diapers, and we are about to crack open the last boxes for each of my two kids. Hopefully Costco gets stock locally soon, or else we are going to have to find a new brand.

Alan Smithee posted:from wat im seeing they lifted limits on eggs Still a limit at ours. In non related co news, mortons classic steakhouse tri tip was on sale, $4 off per package. No limit, and a fuckton available. No TP when I was there, but they had paper towels. I was disgusted to still see idiots trying to check out with a cartful of them. Thankfully the cashiers we simply taking them out of the carts and setting them aside. Those people should be publicly shamed over the PA system.

Bucnasti posted:Anyone gone to a business center to see if they have industrial style TP? The business center in Bergen county, New Jersey never seemed to run out of the large industrial rolls of TP. By that, I mean the enormous rolls you see in public bathrooms, the ones in those huge plastic holders. My guess is that no one bought it because it's even thinner and worse than the cheapo 1ply TP and it's such a huge roll that the box kinda looks like a box of commercial use folded paper towels if you don't know what you're looking for.

To the people who insist on flushing the "flushable" wipes. Enjoy your higher property taxes in the coming years as your towns public works department has to pay to dig up streets and rip up and replace sewers and upgrade water treatment plants because you're to dumb to ignore good advice. Headed to church today. Havent bought gas in close to a month, going to fill up and try and get some eggs and Fage yogurt.

Flushable wipes are the most mundane, relatable example of the tragedy of the commons. Wipe flushers are to blame, but poor public policy, aka allowing flushable wipes to be marketed in the first place, is even more to blame.

Bibliotechno Music posted:I can only make it to service once a month now in These Trying Times, I’ve got a list but what am I missing? Going for a bunch of basics, but not sure of what kind of jerky (I love the pork but it’s too sweet, I prefer my jerky as dry as possible)or what kind of microwave/frozen snacks will help the most. Also any arguments for talking my husband into smoked salmon would be helpful; he didn’t believe me when I told him I’d kill a flat of blackberries in an afternoon, so please help him believe in my happiness. Is there any good loaf bread by the bakery? I like the packs of bread that are shelf stable and can be baked when wanted, they'll last months on the counter and are almost as good as fresh baked bread. For a healthy snack, I always keep a bag of those streamable individual edamame bags in my freezer, so good. For sweet stuff, there's a lot to choose from? Get the muffins and freeze the ones you're not eating right away?

My girlfriend went there last week (on this thread's very reccomendation!) and they had a sign at the door stating that they do not have stock of ANY toilet paper so it people mightve gotten privvy to it at this point. But holy gently caress the huge, commercial boxes of eggs, meats, fish, and cheeses made my heart flutter when she got home. PBUC.

Yeah, I'm a fan of the take and bake bread. It's not the best bread in the world, but it's cheap and tastes good enough. The frozen edamame is a pro tip, great for snacking on without being excessively unhealthy.

I always get overwhelmed with the snack choices, so I appreciate it. Church updates (Chicago/Clybourn): 5 minute wait to get in, they’re also limiting how many people can be in the dairy cooler and produce cooler. Seemed reasonably staffed, only saw two instacart shoppers and around 90% of customers were wearing masks. Also saw a guy with 14 bottles of vodka and some vitamins.

poverty goat posted:the meat game at the depot is going to blow your fragile costco minds Yup, and the dairy is stupid cheap. Outside of the that, if you can find the exact same item at Costco and RD, it's always cheaper at Costco. Trust me on this, I've shopped at both extensively, and I buy certain dairy items for my business, so I watch those prices like a hawk.

I also really like some of the RD store brand products, now there is something that you can't buy at church. A friend of mine has a pizza shop, and he makes a killing selling the RD store brand french fries.

Looks similar to cash and carry that we got around here. I do go occasionally for funsies but the problem you run into is stuff is either too bulk (huge cans/single packages of stuff that will go bad within a week of opening), or surprisingly overpriced if it's just a box of a regular sized products, like straight up cheaper to buy at almost any standard grocery store (even kind of expensive ones). Like if you review the food prices that article mentions ~30 cents a pound for flour. Which would translate to 1.50 for a standard home sized 5 pound bag, which is an, okay price? 2 for 3 is a super common sale and I have a couple bags in my pantry right now I got for 1 dollar each. ~3.13/gal for whole milk? That's not even a good deal. Milk does vary a lot from place to place so maybe it's just expensive where the author lives but even not on sale here it's a bit over 2 at most. ~2.50/lb shredded cheap cheese. That's basically normal bottom barrel cheddar/mont jack, easy to find 2 or even 1.50 a pound on that stuff. ~2/lb butter. Probably first good deal I saw in the list. It's not super hard to find butter at that pricepoint or cheaper, but it's less common of a sale I find. ~75 cents/can of evap milk. Pretty average ~43 cents/can la croix, incredibly mediocre. That's over 5 bucks for a 12 pack. Even in a normal grocery store it's pretty easy to get it for 3 or 4. And this is the "discount" the author gets for spending 150 at once. Sometimes I think people get bamboozled when they buy in bulk because they think bulk must be cheaper but they never bother to actually calculate or estimate the unit price. Costco does this a lot too but I think the tradeoff is pretty much everything costco sells is the "premium" version/brand of that kind of product.

Soda and candy are two places where Costco absolutely destroys RD on price. To your other point, you can get bigger packs of candy at RD, but it's NEVER cheaper then Costco.
