Behotti posted:My wife and I are going back to church today. We were members several years ago but didn't go enough to justify it. We have a spawn now and are going back. I registered online yesterday, going today to get cards and buy stuff. I'm super hyped to go back. Any tips? Like everyone else said, the diaps, wipes, and formula are a must buy. I will also add that the pouches of stoneyfield whole milk yogurt are a great buy.

Johnny Truant posted:these are the tips i'm here for Okay here's another one trust me. Keep your receipts just pick a place get in the habit. If something goes on sale within 30 days of you buying it at a regular price you can go in and they'll just hand you the difference in cash or credit to Costco purchases. There's nothing wrong with doing this they do it for everyone. Also take a look at Costco warranties sometimes they extend past regular warranties for electronic goods and that might make the difference on where you buy something. Other goons are going to know more about this than me.

Costco also has your purchases on record so if you lose your receipt you should still be ok.

There's nothing wrong with doing this they do it for everyone. Oh yeah, get your appliances at Costco if you can. Nearly every one has a 2 year standard warranty which gets extended to 4 years if you use their credit card. Great when your ice maker breaks at 18 months. Same with computers and electronics. The TV I bought from Costco has 7 years of warranty for no additional cost.

I'm alone while my wife is on vacation with her sister so I got a chicken Alfredo to eat for a few days. And some nitrile gloves that I needed and haven't seen, and a window fan they didn't have at my normal Costco. So yeah OK sorry, go any day.

Hasselblad posted:I do not understand the concept of wagyu jerky. I want jerky that I nearly tear teeth out with, not soft gummy stuff. This is all store bought jerky these days and I feel your pain. They must do something to tenderize jerky during processing for mass consumption, but I long for the dry brittle stuff that would make your jaws sore. Sure, I could find a dozen varieties along any major Texas highway, but now I live in Minnesota. Smugworth fucked around with this message at 03:51 on Jun 23, 2021 |

Great when your ice maker breaks at 18 months. I might get a Costco one next, or I might get the Amazon one next, only because 5% is a lot for -every- purchase and while I currently get that through a very old Amazon Store Card I don't get any extended warranty benefits. But I did buy a portable AC recently at Costco and did indeed regret not having a Costco Visa in this case.

BeAuMaN posted:I still haven't applied for the Costco Visa. I was iffy on getting it because 1.) I hate Citi; 2.) Low sign up bonuses, the bonus % is okay, and while the extended warranty is nice I don't buy a lot of appliances/TVs/whatever at Costco 3.) I was getting a bunch of Chase cards because of point transfers and CSR. Get the Costco card and only use it for Costco and gas? Worst case you eek out a few more percentage points on gas and have a bunch of extra credit you don't use.

The extended warranty + cash back at a place I got to super regularly makes it worth it I use the Costco visa for all my food 3%, travel 3%, Costco 2% and gas 4% purchases, so it's nearly everything. I have a chase card that gets 1.5% back that I use for other purchases which is about as much effort I care to put into min maxing rewards. And a card with rotating 5% categories set to autopay bills that fulfill those categories. And the Costco card has no fee, and acts as my membership card. I can't imagine not having it even if it was just for me to use for gas and dogs.

candystarlight posted:Any recommendations for low carb foods from Costco? The various nuts are all top quality, just watch out for honey roasted stuff. They always have really good and reasonably priced macadamia nuts. The mixed nuts tend to have too many almonds for my taste but your mileage may vary Chicharrons are a good substitute for potato chips, some people even use them to substitute for bread crumbs on fried food. Some things to watch out for, almost every beef jerky is packed with sugar, and the ones that say no sugar, tend to taste bland at best and bitter at worst. The cocktail sauce that comes with the shrimp cocktail is full of sugar, I tried making my own sugar free but it wasn't very good. I'm always skeptical of "no carb" or "Keto" snacks like choco-clusters, check the labels carefully, often the serving sizes are miniscule, and they're not really that low carb when you eat them in normal amounts.

I got a $50 off $500 purchase coupon for Costco.com that I won't use before the 27th. If anyone is making any large purchases on the website between now and Sunday PM me and I can send you the code.
