The receipt checker should have caught that before you left the building, but nobody's perfect. Your situation is probably more common than you think. Some people check their receipt as soon as it's handed to them, but most don't. It's easy to not notice you're overcharged for an item $30 or less when you're spending $400 a trip. I'm not familiar with the returns department, but you could try going to the returns desk and explaining the situation, there's a nonzero chance they can take care of it for you without any issue. And if that doesn't work then I'm sure you can Karen your way into getting a refund on the overcharged item.

Went to church today and only saw one sinner who couldn't mask properly. I got the Bibigo bulgogi since the mini wontons are gone forever it seems.

Just as I figured out I could simmer a rotisserie chicken carcass overnight, and drop those mini wontons in the broth for an amazing soup.

Of course they're gone. My fault, guys, sorry. Whenever I learn to like something it gets discontinued.

I have considered all of y'alls advice, listened to none of it, and bought a tent and an shave ice maker. And a ridiculous amount of cat litter. I live 1.5 hours from Costco so I can't really just wander in whenever so I just bought big stuff. I've always loved Costco but actually having money to spend at it is a game changer. I should move closer.

Yo that cat litter in the hard plastic container may be a little cheaper and easier to pour than the big bag but it's not worth it. It doesn't clump at all so you just get an unsiftable mess of litter that reeks of ammonia so bad it made me light-headed.

I do believe this.

Oh I actually ran into that exact same problem once. I was dealing with them online though and it ended up I was reading the receipt wrong but they were totally going to refund me anyway.

Oddly enough the Costco cat litter in Australia isn't any cheaper than getting it from Kmart or bigW, except it comes in a bigger bag.

the tidy cat 40 pound bag is a pretty good deal when it goes on sale for $9.something a bag. It's not incredibly cheaper than something like PetSmart brand when it's on sale but you're getting a name brand and I think it clumps a little better.

Yeah around here we haven’t had them in, poo poo, been a couple years now. The annoying thing is I buy hummus and pita bread to toast it but it’s never the same and end up throwing a bunch of both out when they go bad.

Wife and I have hella cats and you have to be careful with TidyCat litters, because they use the same color-coded labels for both clumping and non-clumping litters and just differentiate it by saying if it clumps or not, including the fact that the huge bag of one and the clear plastic container is non-clumping, and the normal yellow 30lb pail or whatever is clumping. We fostered some kittens and got the giant bag that looked identical to the yellow pail, except the bag doesnt clump. loving annnnnnnoying.

Well I guess I get to experience the wonders of the Costco return policy. I only got it because it's so big and my cats like a lot of litter (cause they're fat).

Last trip I was able to restock on paper towels. Annoying that they’re individually wrapped in the big pack. Bonus was a compliment from our HVAC guys about paper towel quality. Any recipe recommendations on frozen boneless skinless chicken thighs like a biryani or just put bbq sauce on and broil/grill? Just got new tires swapped on and winters now in storage. Only took an hour when they opened and I got to wander around the post apocalyptic outdoor mall while waiting.

I meant cheaper per kilogram - we have labelling laws that require unit prices to be posted so I'm now trained that "cheaper" is based on that easily comparable value.

Kmart sells 3kg bags, Costco has 6kg bags for the same per kilo price.

Went to church Monday (Woodland Hills branch) and the stupids are back. TP, paper towels, and most bottled water all gone. I'd already gotten what I needed in prior visits, but sad to see some folks still haven't realized COVID doesn't give you the shits.

I've been tryin' to speak with you for a long time
I went to church on Monday and they rolled in a pallet of Kirkland TP just as I approached the section despite it being after noon. They also had Charmin available but TBH I always find Charmin to be a little too thick. I'm just used to Kirkland (although since Corona started it has been Marathon that has been in stock and I hate that poo poo). They also had hand sanitizer. It was pretty awesome. They didn't have hand soap though so I'm gonna have to go elsewhere for that. Because I am trying to limit trips I am now going to church once per month and spending five bills each time. I had a flat cart stacked higher than the handle. So blessed.

A bidet is one of the first things going in to our house as soon as we buy one.

Right now we're stuck with a weird apartment toilet with non standard fittings that I can't quite wrangle a bidet seat on.

Bidets are awesome and life changing etc. etc. but you still need a quality TP along with it. Kirkland stuff just disintegrates when it gets wet, while the Charmin holds up nice and strong.

Holy crap, I’m glad bidet chat is happening right now because I’ve been on the fence about getting one, and Costco’s website has several different options. Are there any particular recommendations on one that the ‘Co carries? I know Toto basically perfected them, but they only carry one by Toto and it seems to have mixed reviews. I’d like to keep it to $600 or less if possible. Please help me take my rear end wiping game to the next level fellow churchgoers!

I’m personally tempted to get the super cheap model that just has the squirter to try it out. It’s like $25 or whatever, can’t go wrong.

Then I would move up to the wifi enabled model so I can tell siri I am about to take a dump and she can warm the seat and turn the lights down and put on some mood music.
