I have the opposite rec, I got the king one because my other one was smaller and it was annoying having to rotate it to find a way for it to cover me comfortably. Now I just get under it and it's always big enough no matter the orientation.

Now I just get under it and it's always big enough no matter the orientation. A friend of mine took one of the big ones and folded it over so that it formed a fairly spacious "foot pocket" on the bottom, then sewed it in. Your feet naturally seek out the pocket and its 365 degrees of sherpa warmth.

Those sherpa blankets are too warm. They make me sweat to death even if it's cold all around me. So I get out of it to cool off, get clammy and cold, repeat until I just give up. Why do you guys enjoy these things?

Got a new s20+phone and another byod line with the free Bluetooth earbuds, car charger and $100 Costco cash card from the wireless kiosk. After we agreed to two plans and prices, the guy kept dropping the plan prices as he was setting up the accounts Saving $400 over the plan life. Very nice experience.

They have great deals on phones. Need to scope one out next time they have an unlocked and rootable Motorola on sale. That's good to know about the plan benefits--need to switch carriers and I might as well open a line through them.

Lawrence Gilchrist posted:I split a Costco membership, i walked through the entire store and got a large jar of shelf stable mango pieces and a large jar of pesto. What are the most legendary kirkland brand products? Toilet paper, paper towels, napkins, most paper products, in fact. Only one I don't get Kirkland is facial tissue, where I find i still prefer Kleenex. Since the baked goods are all made in-house, I consider them Kirkland, too. And I love the muffins. Then there's the Ciabatta rolls and French baguettes, especially if you get there early and they're fresh baked. And I stopped making pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving after getting them at church for the past few years.

What are the most legendary kirkland brand products? A lot of the "legendary kirkland brand" is going to be pretty mundane but Doodles answered some of it and I would add these are the pretty solid regular kirkland staples you should get, most you dont need to buy very often, like once to 4x a year sort of thing, but depends: kirkland branded products that are good and very high quality: -Toilet Paper -Paper Towels -Conditioner -Body wash -Shampoo -Garbage Bags -Parchment Paper / tin foil sheets / cling wrap -Normandy Blend (frozen section) -Mexican cheese blend (fridge section) -Parmesan Reggiano blocks -AAA/AA/9V batteries (if you need them) -Cashews/mixed nuts/pine nuts(!) -Dishwasher pods (I find their detergent isnt very good and stick to Tide Advanced Platinum that they sell instead) -Pallet of eggs (either pasture-raised-organic or the regular kind) -Rotisserie chicken (hot) -Butter -Vodka (iirc just relabeled grey goose?) -sparkling water -tomato sauce + tomato paste -salt, pepper, and some other dried herbs -Vanilla extract -Almond Poppy Seed + Blueberry Muffins (i can;'t buy these anymore because they';re like 650 calories a pop and I can eat two a day which is like almost your entire daily calories right there) -Croissants (same as above, realkly good but i also cant buy these anymore because I can eat too many) Kirkland Pesto used to be REALLY good back in the early 2000s but they've increasingly reformulated and reduced size to cut costs, at least twice since then, and it isn't nearly as good these days. It's not bad, even sometimes worth picking up, but honestly I find it just disappointing how downhill its gotten. I would consider it more an green-colored oily-cheesy slop sauce with a hint of basil these days, and I don't even think it includes pine nuts anymore, so I would recommend just picking up the bag of kirkland pine nuts + parm block + basil and making your own.

I talked to the deli manager at my Costco today and he told me that they're going to start making the chicken noodle soup and chicken pot pies tomorrow. I've been waiting months for this moment and I'm so glad it's finally here.

At church today simply for the experience (I live a short bike ride away) and to grab cheap hummus and lettuces. There were 2 police officers posted on the other side of the cashiers, beside the food court. Is that standard practice now? Also, the faraway stares of the people staffing the sample tables were bleak and I felt bad for them. PBUC, and respect to the memory of its ancient sibling Price Club!

Not Kirkland brand but I've managed to save myself more than the cost of membership by purchasing my better than bouillon from Costco, because for whatever reason they have 454g jars for $9CAD when it's regularly priced at $9CAD for 100g anywhere else. May or may not be available where you're at, though. Otherwise, I can attest to most everything else that one person said (sans the alcohol and dairy which isn't available here/controlled by dairy cartels anyway). The parchment paper is a stupid value. I bake one to three times a week and for some reason they have the really good stuff with a kirkland signature brand slapped onto it for some dumbass discount and like sure OK.

I’m guessing this is a mask enforcement thing, too many Karens with their photocopied fake “I can’t wear a mask” hall pass. I haven’t seen it around here but I’m not surprised.

FORUMS USER 1135 posted:I foolishly bought two large rolls of cling wrap in 2012 or 2013 as a single man. I am still using the first one. The large roll of tin foil I bought at the same time only ran out this year. We were about four years into our cling wrap when I dropped the box and the little plastic cling film slicer attachment came out. Had no idea it was even in there, despite clear indications all over the box. I use it all the time now!

You aren't allowed to eat them on the store and they're providing a good income for a lot of people who need supplementary income right now.

Yeah there's a whole lot of non-Kirkland stuff that is great and I could have listed, but Better Than Bouillon is definitely amazing and everyone should have some. The No-chicken chicken broth is excellent for vegetarians/vegans. It works and tastes aa hell of a lot better than those past dried bouillon cubes which are not very good.
