I really hated these. I don't know if maybe my batch was bad or I'm just not cooking them right or whatever, but the noodles always came out really... Starchy?...and not good. Even when cooking them for less time. I dunno. Maybe they're supposed to be that way but I'd much rather get any other type of noodle.

I met my wife living in Taiwan for nearly a decade, and I bought some of these. She made them as legit as possible, and they seemed good to me? They're not just supposed to be noodles floating in water. Also, I've been checking costco.com for a 7cbft chest freezer for a few weeks. They have a few that come in stock, then disappear an hour later. I finally snagged one, should be here on Thursday. The food saver is on sale starting this week too, which works perfectly. My next trip is going to be 90% frozen and meats as we fill that thing up.

I probably just couldn't cook them right. Or I just don't like super starchy noodles DeadFatDuckFat fucked around with this message at 03:11 on Aug 3, 2020 |

Texture isn’t great and the sauce is real kinda one note and meh for me.

Having never had a vacuum-sealer before, is the one going on sale this week at Costco considered a good quality model compared to whatever else is out there? I’ve been wanting one for a while and intend to pull the trigger as long as this one’s decent. Edit: Didn’t reread far enough back to catch this, but would love other thoughts too if anyone has any.

Someone rammed through the front door of Costco in Issaquah at 6:30am to rob the jewelry cases by shooting them open. They threatened an employee with a gun but no one was hurt. https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/crime/police-investigate-early-morning-shooting-at-issaquah-costco/

I thought they only keep fake jewels in the jewelry case for this specific reason. Maybe some of the cheaper stuff is actually in the case, but when you see the sign and think “who the hell is buying a $20,000 diamond necklace at Costco”, I’m pretty sure the necklace isn’t actually in the case.

Chinatown posted:i also truly miss the combo slice and turkey pesto sandwich. i have a feeling kraut and onions may stay gone for good. Relish will prob make a comeback because it was spurted out via those handheld pumps and i imagine its cheap to fill that up with dyed green goop; but onion dispensers seem gone for good and i cant imagine they want to spend money stocking little cups of saurkraut/onions behind the counter anymore for a very small niche of people. but uh yeah rip combo. i wonder what their plans are with the food court, of course covid throws a bit of wrench into the system but it seems like they even had absolutely no idea what the gently caress they were doing pre-covid.

Xaris posted:it seems like they even had absolutely no idea what the gently caress they were doing pre-covid. Like the Chilli was supposed to be a winter option, the vegan Al Pastor salad a summer option, and wasn't the burger tweaked from just a hamburger to like a double cheeseburger or something through the course of 2 years? They're obviously not interested in adding poo poo like fryers for fries and poo poo, so at least that's off the plate for now. I remember they piloted a Carne Asada bake at the Co near my old place and it was a god awful wait for the thing every time I tried to order it.

FilthyImp posted:I think they had settled on an idea about "premium" foods vs the tried and true staples of pizza and dogs, with some variety thrown in for seasonal changes. stuff like bulgogi bakes/carne asada bakes seems more in the right direction, a nice simple self-contained meal that you can sling quickly

Alan Smithee posted:"Costco has jewelry?" I thought to myself before relegating it to the vague front section of eyeware I always skip past There was a whole page about it on one of those credit card points sites a few years ago. Basically if you bought something more than several thousand dollars and then returned it Costco would issue you a check instead of refunding the purchase. The writer had it down to a science and would request the purchase be cancelled just after it was too late and wasn't even taking the jewelry from the manager to churn their card. And 'co actually has good stuff if you look. I got my wife's engagement ring and 2 wedding bands (1 backup in case something ever happens) after looking at them with her.

The Costco near my work had a violent smash and grab of the jewelry display not too long ago. I don't think firearms were involved but as far as I could see there wasn't any obvious changes after the fact, perhaps they don't put the good stuff in the cabinet now I don't know.

A lot of the high-dollar jewelry is in that little room behind the registers where they keep the laptops and stuff.

At a certain point it becomes an employee safety issue. Part of the reason they don't take cash at the gas station is so there aren't thousands of dollars piling up away from the main building.

I usually just book my hotel and rental car through the costco site. Rental car makes sense, although when we were in the UK back in Dec we were paying about $30/d for Sixt which was only about $300 total. Not sure about hotels. I think the places we typically stay might not be on Costco's Approved Hotel List but I'll see if they are. and i'm not against it, it's only +$60 a year, not a dealbreaker i'm sure I throw >$60 worth of food away every year. but i was mostly just responding to the guy who couldn't see any reason why anyone wouldn't get it. I'm sure 'co has run the math and figured out the expected annual purchase value of an average membership is <$3,000 a year which is why they're push it semi-aggressively.

The hotels I've stayed at on my Costco vacations were either good or amazing. When we went to Italy we put that it was our anniversary in the notes and all three hotels brought up a bottle of prosecco for us. Now it's cheap enough they could literally do that for everyone, and it may have been SOP, but at the time we felt like royalty.

Also it's probably a bit of a psychological move too that boosts sales per member. Knowing that I get 2% back I'm more likely to buy tires there than anywhere else, and other big purchases.

bob dobbs is dead posted:its actually p rare to save money w costco wo a bigass family Aside from food you can save a lot of money on cleaning supplies, vitamins&supplements, toiletries, and general consumer goods. You're not going to be buying those more often the 3-4x a year in the quantities they sell. Food wise you're going to need to be eating a pretty consistent diet for the quantities you have to buy for produce to make it worth while. The produce isn't really that much cheaper then a regular grocery store. There's a couple of Kirkland brand items absolutely worth it like the pesto. Bitchin Sauce is now more widely available but its $7 for the little tub in the grocery store by me.
