I had jury duty a year ago and there was someone in the pool with me that looked so familiar. I then realized the person they were talking to looked super familiar as well. I started chatting with them and found out they both work at the Costco I most frequent. They were good people. I still see them amongst the aisles and wave.

I think the prime ribeyes (same as scotch fillet?) are $16 at Costco? I haven't bought them, might be more. Choice usually $11 or $12, iirc. Choice NY Strip is about $9. Choice Tri-tip (california style cut of sirloin) is $10 lb at costco for some reason.

Grocery store will have flap at around $9 regular price. Ribeye and NY Strip get down to $5 on sale, and that's the only time I'll buy them because the Choice steaks at Costco seems to be better than at the grocery stores somehow. Flap isn't worth paying full price because it goes on sale so often around here. And lol at buying tri-tip at Costco, it regularly gets down to $3/lb on sale at most places.

The one thing I will say is that Costco does a much better job at butchering their meat - particularly cleanliness of the cut and fat trimming.

I'll only go for Prime for special occasions.

Chicken is always better quality at Costco for the same price at the grocery store.

And ribs go on sale quite often at the grocery store, but aren't ever worth it compared to Costco. They're anemic and small, and Costco ribs have like double meat, its insane and worth the price.

Whelp, it finally happened and my Costco now has fewer masks than my Safeway.

Oregoons, the WINIX air purifier is still available. They had a smaller one with double extra filters for $99 a while back. The one they have now is a little bigger and comes with maybe 8 charcoal filters and 2 HEPA filters for just over $100. It's got wifi so you can track when your dog farts and an auto-mode that turns off most of the lights and stuff when it gets dark.

Last year the forest fires were bad and we ran the house central air fan to pump air through the enormous HEPA filter in our furnace intake. Figure this little guy can help with the inevitable fires this August.

Also got some Grillos Pickle spears, which are crisp as gently caress with a tart shot of vinegar to them. I like 'em. Kid saw a piece of onion floating in the tub and has declared them "too oniony" which is a lie, but what is her loss is my gain in daily sodium intake.

I'm never taking my mask off in stores. Covid be damned I haven't been sick in a year and a half. People can barely drive-- and if the Internet has taught me anything-- bathe; if I'm gonna get sick it's gonna be from my own incel cum dungeon thanks

I did a Costco grocery delivery and it was amazing, def recommend. Made Kenji's pasta sauce and a meatball grinder with that Kirkland 6lb bag of Italian meatballs and it was really great

Spears you say? We only get the chips but they are so good. I eat the little hunks of garlic that are in the brine too. And all the dill. So good.

Chicken prices at costco are pretty garbage lately.
BSCThighs at Costco is 2.99/LB+, not even boobies.

Meanwhile the bulk package of BSCBoobs at the grocery store is $1-2/lb

Not only are meat prices up everywhere but people have learned that other cuts of meat that used to be cheap are actually really good so those prices are going to rise permanently.

Spears! I'm pretty sure they've had full pickles in a gigantic jar previously. These are in a little sand pail type clear container with a little handle.

Also, I checked at lunch today and there aren't any onions in it! My kid saw the garlic floating (they're really, really white) and mis-diagnosed the pickles as "too oniony." Jokes on her!

Since I sous vide a ton, the thickness at which Costco cuts is a prime selling point.

Sous vide certainly makes cooking thicker cuts foolproof but also makes not overcooking thinner steaks just as easy, provided you can sear correctly

Kirkland hard seltzer tastes fine, it tastes like hard seltzer. If you don't like the smell, just add some juice or whatever since it tastes like watered down vodka with some added flavorings, just like all the rest
