Haven't been to the warehouse in about a month at this point so we put an online order in last weekend. One of the ten items finally shipped, by itself, but UPS didn't even bother attempting delivery today and instead just took it to the drop off point, which is a packed grocery store. Cool stuff UPS. I can't hate on Costco for taking so long (they were all eligible for 2-day delivery) but I should have guessed delivery would wind up being a bad idea. In an hour-long queue to talk to customer service about canceling the rest of the order.

Do you have a UPS My Choice account? Had you specified an alternate delivery location?

A friend of mine has a pizza shop, and he makes a killing selling the RD store brand french fries.

The issue is that UPS is getting paid to deliver these to our place, not to another dropoff spot after 0 delivery attempts. I do have a UPS MyChoice account but the shipment is under my girlfriend's name and I can't change the location, not that it matters anymore because it is currently sitting at a Kroger. My issue is less with Costco's online setup and more with delivery companies getting paid to deliver stuff to the wrong address. The entire point of doing an online grocery order was to not go to a packed grocery store, so UPS not attempting delivery (we're both working from home) and instead taking it to a grocery store 3x as busy as usual sure sucks.

Went yesterday after work. Gas was $1.35 which is the cheapest I've seen around. Finally picked up some Bitchin Sauce and its as great as everyone has mentioned, they only had the chipolte flavor but its really good.

Store was pretty empty, they're counting the number of customers they'll allow in at once now, my store had a cap at 120. Still no toilet paper of hand sanitizer but everything else was in stock.

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.

The business center in Hackensack, NJ still has the commercial use jumbo TP rolls in stock, and afaik never ran out of stock on them, despite what the sign out front says. Still in stock today and the sign out front said no toilet paper. So if you're near Bergen County NJ and you desperately need TP from a Costco, go get yourself a box of these:

yeah the meijer at 23/polaris is solid, thats on my way home from work so also very convenient (lol for whenever we actually go back to work). Last time I was there we got 2 huge things of cat litter and I havent see any in a store since for some reason. I assume its 'roni related but I hope people are not pooping into cat litter.

Anyways, still churning through our supply of costco snacks. They had a 15oz bag of Sahale tangerine vanilla cashew-macadamia mix that is just fantastic, and we have another box of lime lacroix unopened. bulk shopping best shopping.

1/2 cup (120ml) soy sauce
1/2 cup (120ml) lime juice, from 6 to 8 limes
1/2 cup (120ml) canola oil
1/4 cup (55g) packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cumin seed
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chili powder (see note)

Ya'll think we might see some meat shortages at Costco with all the packing plants shutting down?

bird with big dick
Oct 21, 2015

I wonder if stuff like this means every grocery store in the country has three less Smithfield ham products or of it means every grocery store within a 400 mile radius of that particular meat packer has zero Smithfield anything. I would guess closer to the former so it'll probably result in less product on the shelves nationwide but probably not the type of thing your average shopper would notice unless a lot more plants shut down. But I'm just spitballin here.

I wish I had gotten some pork shoulders or maybe a brisket to smoke, working from home all day it's perfect to get up every once in a while and check on the smoker.

I think for sure we're going to see them. I was at the grocery store and then Costco today. Grocery store was already out of its normal ground beef packages. And Costco was out of those 5 1lb packs.

I miss being 5 minutes from there and that Costco. The Easton Costco is awful, crowded, and I haven't seen panda-brand pot stickers in months. It wasn't that bad when I went for supplies and communion today around noon. Got more mango juice, booze, fruit, and snacks.

It doesn't actually matter whether there is an actual shortage, the mere perception that there may be a shortage will cause people to buy more.

This whole thing is going to cause a bunch of really weird shortages over the next months or possibly even years as the work stoppages and slowdowns work their way through the supply chain.
