I went to the Co yesterday and spent $200 on mostly foodstuffs. I live by myself.

Bought too much cheese, but I wasn't sure what I wanted to try them all :black101:

Also bought two of the ready to cook meals. Korea BBQ and the flank steak. Korean BBQ had great flavor, but how too many chunks of hard fat in it.

Food court offerings were Hot Dogs and Pizza. Nothing else :(

Machine was busted and no fruit smoothie. They never offered a fruit smoothie at that costco location, to my knowledge.

I bought Haloumi, a kirkland sized brick of Parmesan, Some non-diary chao cheese just to try it out, Havarti slices (my usual go to), a bright of white sharp cheddar, and a pack of flavored goat cheeses that I am probably just gonna eat like a sausage because I'm a gluttonous pig.

haloumi is so good i'll need to go to costco and see if they have it in--i've never seen it there before. sadly halloumi in the states is hideously overpriced as gently caress. like Trader Joes sometimes c arries it during the summer and it's a great price, like $3-$4 for 8oz, but its only temporarily seasonal and the only other options is like $10-$12 for 6-10oz at whole foods/safeway. meanwhile when i was in europe you could get halloumi for like a few bucks. It's insane how hard and expensive it is to get here for absolutely no reason despite having a big rear end dairy industry.

haloumi was also a god send when i was on keto and i bought so much of it from TJ and when they dropped carrying it, it really sucked

saw two dudes at Costco lowering their masks.

first guy was with his family, he had his mask down while looking at phones in the electronics. an employee called him out nicely.

the other guy was rolling his cart around, talking into his phone. I guess you can't talk on a phone w/ mask

Went to Costco for the first time since March today and it felt like getting my soul back in alignment. We visited every aisle and I can’t for the life of me imagine there is that much demand for jalapeño cheddar bagels but what do I know I’m not an internationally successful wholesaler

I’m sure the more expensive ones are nicer but I’m perfectly happy with my $40 one from Amazon.

I’m also renting so running a power line isn’t an option.

Same. I'm happy with my cheap one. I also live in a hot climate so the tap-cool water is refreshing on the balloon knot.

Whoa those are a costco standard in my area and they are legit spicy enough that kids won’t touch em so it’s good to have a reserved bagel supply.

dried seas cucumbers are ok i guess they're nothing special IMO. they are stewed/rehydrated before eating

if you see bags of dried scallops by some insane miracle get them, they are one of the most delicious foods

They're more of a Chinese medicine thing than a food, since they have the texture of an old truck tire and no flavor at all. They're also for fancy banquets. If your Costco has a lot of East Asian customers that's why.

Astoundingly good. My local Co has spanish pastries and poo poo in the bread aisle. The one 5 miles away is stocked with Asian foods.

And the one by my old apartment had cool poo poo like a wifi garage door opener and Kewpie mayonnaise.
