Thank you thread.

I got turkey breast and havarti cheese slices for my sandwiches this week and a hot dog and pizza slice for lunch.

A blessed quick trip. I saw someone had the Momo-san fancy ramen in their cart at mine while I was there, but I just bought a ton of ramen and had to abstain in the face of temptation.

Thanks so much for mentioning this. I had no idea this product existed, I usually ignore this part of the deli case. I much prefer leg and thigh meat to breast meat so this is a win for me. I picked up a container on my visit this morning and am looking forward to it.



Wow I need to be on the lookout for these, that's an amazing deal.

I came to (Jim Sinegal) once and I said, 'Jim, we can't sell this hot dog for a buck fifty. We are losing our rear ends.' And he said, 'If you raise the effing hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out.' That's all I really needed. By the way, if you raised (the price) to $1.75, it would not be that big of a deal. People would still buy (it). But it's the mindset that when you think of Costco, you think of the $1.50 hot dog (and soda).

What we figured out we could do is build our own hot dog-manufacturing plant (in Los Angeles) and make our own Kirkland Signature hot dogs. Now we are doing so much hot dog business that we've opened up another plant in Chicago.

Btw the frozen beer battered cod from Costco is thoroughly superior to like all supermarket fish fillets. They’ve got big, chunky pieces of good fish in them and the batter isn’t just a heavy congealed mass. Would recommend a box for a few family dinners. Had some with baked beans and a veg last night :yum:

Yeah the Trident fillets are great. I just eat em straight up with some tartar sauce and a side or two. They are also awesome for fish tacos.

Fwiw we were looking at Costco for appliances but ended up going with Yale since Yale has their own technicians on staff, if you have an issue. Came in handy when one of the appliances we bought was a dud and they were able to replace it in a few days vs ??? for a replacement from Costco.

I would highly recommend taking a look at heat pump dryer models. They require no exhaust so they aren't heating and dumping air conditioned air outside in the summer, raising your cooling bills, or dumping heated air outside in the winter, raising your heating bills. They also use a tiny fraction of the power of resistive heating models. Only thing you really need to do with them that's special is clean the radiator every month or two, as well as provide a path for the water condensate to drain (you should have that already since you'll have a drain for your washer)

My Samsung heat pump dryer actually uses less power than my washer, and only takes maybe 25% longer than a regular resistive heater driven model.

It's common enough that I had to stop putting alcohol-based hand sanitizer in the bar bathrooms because the alcoholics that were already in a bar would go through a whole bottle a day.

I bought our washer and dryer from Costco 3 years ago. I bought them online, it was pretty painless like buying anything else online. Scheduled delivery, and they delivered and installed them and took my old washer and dryer away.

A very regular and normal transaction.

The good:

They had the best price anywhere on the washer and dryer I bought. I paid 1999 for the Samsung Flex washer and dryer set, which was easily 700 dollars less than anywhere else. Home Depot was selling the set for 3K.
I got a 150 dollar Costco Cash card as a rebate, and a total of 7 years of warranty coverage. 2 years direct from Samsung, years 3-5 through the additional square trade warranty I bought, and years 5 to 7 are covered under the Costco Visa card.

The rest:

Took about 2 weeks to get everything delivered I think. Order has to process, and then you have to schedule things. A lot of places don't actually stock the appliances they sell. There's generally a regional warehouse where these things are kept, and the company that sells the appliance, sends the PO to the manufacturer, who then contracts a 3rd party delivery company to deliver the appliances. The only thing Costco did was process the order here, which is pretty common. Some places will keep appliances in stock for faster delivery, but Costco does not generally. This is pretty normal though, same thing happened when I ordered my fridge from Home Depot. HD sends the order to LG, LG contacts their logistics company, delivery via 3rd party is arranged.

I picked up the tortilla tilapia last trip and they were a hit, but we're also big fans of the Trident "World's Best" fish sticks. They go great with some Mac & Cheese or in a lunchtime fish taco or as a "that's a surprising and uncomfortable amount of ketchup" delivery system for my kid.

Apologies if already talked about:

Has anyone tried the new Costco version of their ready-to-freeze vodka cocktail popsicles? They come in a resealable bag instead of a canister thing now. I bought some on Sunday morning and they have yet to freeze in our half-full freezer. I turned the freezer from “cold” to “colder” to see if that helps, but I assume it’s having issues due to the alcohol content.

I’m not above drinking vodka sugar water out of a plastic tube, but I would really prefer them to be popsicles...

well instead of raising the price, they've cut back on secondary. i.e. removing saurkraut, onion dispensers, getting rid of polish dog (and italian sausage?); and then trying more big-ticket items like vegan al pastor, acai bowls, hamburgers for $5-6

i'd gladly pay more for a polish dog with kraut + spicy brown mustard + onions again
