I'M A LEAD FARMER, MOTHERFUCKER!

What's up fellow DeviantOllam fan :cool::respek::cool:

Yeah Dev is cool and good people. Also generally a great storyteller with all the bullshit he's pulled off during penetration testing jobs, though I found that video above quite interesting when I watched it because he was really selling the whole take-your-sous-vide-everywhere-and-pray-there's-a-Costco since he'd be in a place for 1 - 3 weeks depending so he couldn't eat out every day, and you'd get better food for the money doing that.

It's like 25 lb of semi-sweet chocolate chips for like $8

I'm literally going to have to stop shopping at Costco

May I also point out that my bag of Kirkland chocolate chips says right on the bag that they're great for snacking :yum: .

Currently eating a giant Costco muffin and I'm in awe at the balls on them to try and make a serving half a muffin.

No one is eating half a muffin :cmon:

You could put frosting on them and call them cupcakes. Nobody would correct you; really blurring the lines there.

I'm gonna have a muffin for breakfast with my coffee! I just wish I could get a single 6 pack instead of having to get 2.

Freeze them. Vacuum seal them in packs of 1 or 2 muffins. Put them back in the freezer.

Costco should really give everyone a vacuum sealer when you sign up for a membership.

I don't want to. I also don't want to waste the plastic. I also don't want to use more energy reheating them. I just want to be able to buy less.

And a deep freezer. I think they would a pretty quick ROI on those cost with the increased sales.

At this point you should consider baking your own muffins. It isn't hard and it is minimally wasteful. Wanting Costco to give you lesser amounts of something will only end in disappointment.

I tried to buy a four pack of muffins at HEB thinking they'd be as good as the Costco ones and WOW what a savings on not having to freeze them. They were not pure sugar and butterfat whipped into heaven, but instead muffins. I am resigned to vacuum sealing pounds of costco muffins per month like a drat animal because there's just not better muffins out there.

When my daughter left the swim team it was a rough transition from eating those giant muffins PLUS a parfait for breakfast to… not. At swim meets the swim moms aways had a little stand where you could buy a muffin and a cup of soup for like $2 (no refill).

I never get the last word, and it makes me very sad.
Real Costcoers know that the store officially has no stance on people using soda cups for hot soup, you just have to deal with the risk of burning your fingers. But the real trick is to use a wad of napkins as a cup insulator, only fill the cup halfway with soup, stick just the bare hotdog in the soup, and to chug the hot soup and dog before it melts the soda cup liner.

It's a real steal of a meal

The Kedem ones? Yeah they're just unimaginative animal crackers. Make crumb crusts and crumbles with them a lot. They're very, very good as a base for a cheesecake.

It is good to diversify your costco food court portfolio. You never know what will be the next turkey sandwich.

Had a dentist appointment and they said I should get an electric toothbrush and I stopped at Costco on the way home to get lunch (chicken bake and frozen mocha) and they had a 2pack of electric toothbrush brushes on sale and apparently my partner has wanted an electric one for awhile so now we both have one PBUC
