I'm really not a fan of the precooked meats they have in the cooler section. Really have not hit on one that I would routinely buy.

The Kirkland hickory smoked pulled pork is good, I just stopped getting it due to the salt content.

There's one in town. How do I start this quest? Do I just go up like a dipshit and ask to give them $60 to let me in? Is there a password?

Also with the plague happening, are there like, occupancy limits? Will I have to wait 2 hours?

Just tell them you are headed to customer service to get a membership and then just walk to the food court.

I couldn't help but buy a pack of the amazing-looking pesto focaccia they had in the bakery area. About two pounds of thick breadsticks for $6.99.

Sadly, for as oil-drenched and pesto-filled as they are, they're terribly bland. I tried them at room temp, warmed in the oven, and toasted and spread with roasted garlic feta dip from Whole Foods; no dice. They're just not great.

I'm going to attempt to salvage the rest of them by turning them into croutons for panzanella later this week. Maybe some more oil, salt, and pepper will wake them up a bit.

I have shopped at dyers and sundry purveyors of grocery and goods, but I have only in times of great distress given my work tokens to the Wal family, and never engaged them in any manner of contract for membership in any of their houses of ill repute.

Though I be not a member of the Cost Company, this accusation is a slight upon my honor and I demand retraction or satisfaction upon the field of honor.

My Costco doesn't ask for memberships at the food court and I think it's ridiculous that some stores do. There shouldn't be any restrictions for people to give money to the least profitable department in a Costco warehouse.

Anyone have anything to say about the Kirkland motor oil, specifically the full synthetic 0w20? I saw that they got the memo about the 5 quart jugs, and it's quite competitively priced.

It's an excellent oil, it says Kirkland right on it!


Seriously though I don't know if there is a bad oil out there, even Walmart's Super Tech-brand oil is extremely excellent, as is Amazon's. As long as you follow your vehicle's manufacture specifications you should use the Kirkland oil.

Toujours Mike's pizza SUPERSTAR pizza trip report.

Two for 17.99 CDN


After 17 minutes at 450 on the bottom rack of a gas oven atop the Toujours Mike's cooking sheet:


It was tasty and is very large by traditional frozen pizza standards. The mushrooms were a powerful flavour in the SUPERSTAR experience. Cheese was bountiful and very stretchy. I will probably buy this again when I want an upmarket frozen pie and not my usuals or the $2.50 per pie No Name bulk pep pizza.

Needless crust shot to see how the Toujours Mike's sheet did.


And no I don't ever use timg links thank you.

Yes. Cheese, pepperoni, or half cheese half pepperoni.

Though I did hear (I work at a Costco) that some stores might be getting the combo pizza back? But I don't know if it's speculation or truth just what some of the food court people told me. They want to stop production in the back as much as possible. So I don't know how that fits unless they're working on some other option for it. Supposed to get the chicken bake next month, possibly? But it's going to come in pre-made and frozen.
