Went home with the Mario and Luigi RC car pack yesterday. Theoretically these will be a Christmas present for my almost 3 yo nephew, but I suspect his dad and I will bust them free long before then.

My Costco restocked the Honey Mustard Snack Mix and I almost squealed out loud in the aisle. This stuff is so bad for my waistline but gently caress it, they’ve been out for months. BadSamaritan posted:Tell me about buying a washer and dryer at Costco. Ours is reaching end of life and I’m keepin an eye out for deals. I’ll reiterate what the other poster said. I didn’t get the Allstate extended warranty but it was completely painless That said, it can be worth it to wait for a sale. I bought mine during a president’s day special (and got more off nearly a month later when they had an appliance sale that took even more off. They price matched it without question. PBUC). I saved several hundred off of each LG appliance. Thwomp fucked around with this message at 19:41 on Jul 20, 2021 |

My Costco has been stocking The Rock's Teremana tequila. The $30 cost in regular stores is a bit overpriced, but I'll buy it at Costco for $23 all day long.

Costco wants you in the warehouse, that’s why their website is poo poo. If you’re buying online you’re not finding their “hidden gems”. The stuff online is priced worse than in store always. Also it’s the sparklets water guy who harassed me, after a long day of bullshit I come in to buy bottled water, I tell him I can lift my own water and it costs less than a fifth as much and the bastard calls me cheap. I’m at a loving club warehouse store. Of course I’m too cheap. I don’t even have room for a cooler in my studio, I live in a state where the water is piped in from hundreds of miles away or I’d just drink tap. My dog won’t even drink this tap water, he’d rather drink out of my pond.

Costco has always been very behind the curve on retail trends. Remember when the coupon book had actual coupons you had to bring in and if you didn’t bring in the book you didn’t get the sale price? That was only like 10 years ago.

Was that really like 10 years ago? It feels like yesterday I was cutting coupons out of that fucker and hoping I didn't lose em when I pulled my wallet out to flash my card for entry. Towards the end my local stores had stacks of em and you just pointed out the coupons to use and they ripped em out and kept the whole book.

The stuff online is priced worse than in store always. Then they should at least allow me to ship items to the store for pickup. We found a bed we liked on costco.com but it's $200 more online than it is in-store. Except you can't get it in store anymore. I'm sure that big price increase is largely due to shipping costs since they were offering free shipping, but then like, I'll drive to the store drat I don't need this thing brought to my front door for me. Between that added price and that I'd have to assemble it myself, it was no longer a good deal vs. going to Bobs or something like that.

Renegret posted:Then they should at least allow me to ship items to the store for pickup. That's my big complaint about Costco's online shopping presence, that they offer "free shipping" on big items but just pump the price of the item itself by a couple hundred dollars versus what you'd find in-warehouse (if it's even available in-warehouse at all).

I’m not willing to risk buying that quantity of it without some more assurances that it’s been brought back up to par. I ended getting the Bombay last time. Edit: referring to the Kirkland gin that was recalled. My store has had other gins the entire time

Oh yeah, I meant to specify Kirkland. I wish we got the Roku gin, it's fantastic for lighter cocktails like a Tom Collins. I'm willing to go for the Kirkland, but I haven't seen it at my store.

Got some furniture delivered from Costco. Looked like really good quality for the price, but unfortunately it wouldn’t fit up our winding old stairs (despite us trying to measure and visualize before placing the order) so we had to send it back. Props to the process where the delivery guys just call in the refund and put it back on the truck though

Just a heads up. Last time I got croissants at the entrance and didn't think twice. This most recent time I went, I got them at the entrance then double checked expiry/baked on date vs the dates of the ones in the actual bakery section. The croissants at the entrance were all dated for 1-2 days earlier then the ones in the bakery section. The entrance is where they try to offload old baked goods, it seems.

The entrance is where they try to offload old baked goods, it seems. yep, it's a classic store tactic. certain types of store displays, and certain areas of stores such as end-caps, have been found to be more appealing to the people walking through the store. so you use tactics like this when you want to get rid of expiring products or clear out old inventory.

Every single section of every store with expiring product will place the oldest stuff where it will hopefully be grabbed before the newest stuff. Produce, dairy, meat, canned goods, bakery. Proper stock rotation like that reduces waste ($$).

I still want a Costco Restaurant. Like a full fledged alcohol + cooked food + maybe a sports bar or speakeasy or something. Like imagine a Costco Food Court + Sports Bar and a boxing ring (that you can buy) and they have actual boxers fighting in there and a sports bookie. Like...Costco in Vegas. Or something. Costco Strip Club. 1 Lap Dance is $20 but get a pack of 5 and mix and match and it's only $75.

The cauliflower rice I picked up at Costco is pretty okay. Definitely the best cauliflower rice I've ever had, which isn't to say it's great or anything. But it's definitely acceptable unlike basically any other cauliflower rice I've had. Do need to cook it in a pan with some olive oil and salt and pepper though.
