Ask me about my wealthy lifestyle and passive income! I love bragging about my wealth to my lessers! My opinions are more valid because I have more money than you! Stealing the fruits of the labor of the working class is okay, so long as you don't do it using crypto. More money = better than!

Air fryer question: will it make store bought breaded/battered chicken wings significantly crispier than just cooking them in the oven or deep frying?

Definitely worse than deep frying, but better than an oven if you don't have a convection oven.

Yea this. Crispier than a typical oven (and faster). Deep frying it won't compete with.

Our Costco in MD doesn’t have liquor or beer, which sucks and is fine. I really don’t want an excuse to buy any more cases of beers the occasional bottle of whiskey.

We saw the tips that if you get Salmon, make sure you go with Norway or USA sourced. Chile and Russia might be sketchy.

The best thing about Costco lately is an increase in Korea/Japanese/broader Asian products. My son loves the microwave massala channa for lunch. We have enjoyed the rice ramen noodles and konjac noodles. My wife grew up eating the last ones and they are great for folks watching carbs. She’ll buy a big pork tenderloin and then just slice it for making don katsu.

Don’t get the General Tso’s cauliflower. It’s bad.

The Thai coconut curry chicken is not bad for a cheap family meal option though.

We love their cauliflower pizza though. So tasty.

I am going to try the Irish stew but we typically just go get a roast and make stew ourselves.

Also, they’ve had flush ceiling lights on sale and we replaced all of our old fixtures in the last two weeks. Really simple and the lights are a step up from the crappy Amazon boob light options.

Costco is alright.

there’s a BJ’s like 2 minutes from my local parish. I’ll be honest, I’ve been known to stray a moment or two during free membership offers.

my family were BJ’s->Costco switchers. We switched in the early 00s because of the pharmacy

My 'co did not have the frozen Mexican Street Corn today (it's been a few months since I bought any). Checking the comments and store located on Tattooed Chef's site, it doesn't seem to be sold at Costco any more. I had to go to Meijer and buy some Alexia brand street corn that has parmesan instead of cotija. Dinner just won't be the same tonight.

Probably, but this was going to be a low effort heat poo poo up dinner because I'm tired. Apparently from googling though it can be as simple as corn + mayo + chili powder, so yeah, maybe I'll try making my own some time.

Totally worth it, and probably the furthest I drive to anything now.

I only have canyoneyes for you


One of my coworkers, a fellow Costco disciple, shared this picture from THE WORLD'S LARGEST COSTCO in Salt Lake City.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Costco#Largest_location posted:

In 2005, the world's largest Costco was located in Hillsboro, Oregon. In 2015, Costco completed an expansion in Salt Lake City, making it the new largest Costco at 235,000 sq ft (21,800 m2). In 2011, Costco's highest volume store was in Seoul, South Korea. Taiwan's Taichung ranks at the very top in the number of members and is second in the world in sales volume (the exact figures are confidential), behind South Korea's Yangjae store in Seoul; moreover, 13 Costco operations in Taiwan, three – Taichung, Neihu, and Chungho – rank in the top 10 in the world in sales volume.

It is not only a Costco, it is also combined with a Costco Business Center. The average Costco is 150ksf, the Hillsboro one is 205ksf, and the SLC one is 235ksf.

I think the cutoff is that if they are 200ksf or more, they are no longer churches, but cathedrals.

Oh man - I got the almond danishes from the bakery. They're delicious - better than I've had at any coffee shop. They tiptoe the line of croissant/danish and are probably insanely bad for me, but what a tasty breakfast.

I foolishly tried to use my Costco rewards at the self-checkout line. The poor girl was like "uhhh I don't think it'll work" and fumbled around for a while before she just said "go over to merch pickup they'll just cash you out."
