I don't remember what we carry for chicken, but I almost never use breast's anymore, gotta hope on the Thigh train. Cheaper and they've got enough fat to make them edible even if they were raised in a cage.

Ya we're halfway there. Especially once we found if you shop around and wait you can find thighs for like .49 cents a pound. Get like 20 pounds of those and stuff the freezer for a long while.

I stand by my statement that the chicken bake is about the worst thing in the food court. The carne asada and bulgogi bakes are top tier though.

I actually managed to get a PS5 from Costco and didn't have to pay gently caress you scalper prices. Even stranger, the site was obviously swamped when they dropped and I had multiple issues checking out. It easily took me 5 minutes from the moment I added it to my cart to when it went through. During that time other people definitely reported it as showing up as out of stock. That makes me think Costco is one of the few retailers that uses some kind of queue/reserve system. Costco must have recognized me as having it in my cart and "held" it for me while I completed my transaction.

And yea, i've got the confirmation and everything, so it's not one of those situations where Costco is gonna come back and tell me the order has to be canceled. I'm super shocked, but happy I got a PS5 and didn't have to pay a ton for it.

Also cooking loving sucks. I consider myself to be a pretty good home cook but I loving hate it.

We don't have enough family time as it is, I'm not wasting an entire weekend day in the kitchen making ravioli by hand. (Which I did once, and it was a huge tedious unrewarding pain in the rear end that I will no doubt do again at some point because it's a huge crowd pleaser)
Home made pasta-stuff is definitely a trap. It sounds like a great idea... but no it really isn't. I've got one of those old-school pasta roller things and everytime I have a wild hair up my rear end to make it, I just regret it most times. Home made pasta sauces can be good (especially alfredo) but iffy time/money/taste proposition over a decent pre-bought (well anything is literally better than prego).

Costco was carrying San Marzano-style canned whole tomatoes for a while. I got a bunch and started making a couple things: a simple marinara I use for drop meatballs, a no-cook pizza sauce, and a nice, dairy-free tomato basil "bisque." The 'Co stopped carrying the tomatoes, but I kept making the sauces.

I just checked the prices, and making my own sauces is roughly half the cost of buying Classico jarred sauce and I dare say twice as tasty. Mind you, a big factor in this mental arithmetic is that I'm stuck at home 80-100% of the time and cooking is like the one aspect in my life where I feel like I have some control. I'm sure years of therapy will help smooth that all over one day.

All that said, I buy a little tub of pesto once a month, because while I keep a little basil plant on the windowsill, I feel like I'd need to dedicate the back yard to basil production to keep up with the demand.

Should have bought a Nerf MG42 with tripod.

Sadly, the German equivalent to Costco, Metro only gives out memberships to small business owners and does not carry nearly the cool things you guys have. There is a house brand, but it only extends to food, kitchenware, paper towels, toilet paper.

We have the Jamon, but it's 80€.

Kirkland light beer. I'm a drunk and I would go sober the rest of my life before drinking that stuff again. I think they stopped making it though, it's been a few years since my Costco carried it. Probably due to how terrible it was.

Changing mine to this. They only sold that stuff for 3 months. $21 for 48 pack. I drank one, my friend drank one, then we shot a 6 of them with a .44. I seriously have 40 of them stacked in the corner of my garage.

The only good thing about that beer is this:

The Ice Cream bars are actually good. A lot of stuff marketed as keto isn't actually keto, it's just marketing. It tastes bad because it's a lovely product made to profit off of a fad diet.

The best keto item at Costco? That $5 rotisserie chicken.

The hot cocoa bombs off the website are trash, they don't melt and the flavor is meh. For $30 I expected to be blown away, poo poo is worse than swiss miss packets.

Not a big fan of the honey roasted cashews, they are way too sweet.

The bacon habernero tortilla chips were not very good.

The Little Italy pasta sauce is pretty bland.
