Did anyone land the BARK dog toys with the Costco card and booze ? I laughed and had to buy them. Highly recommend because Bark and Barkbox toys are great quality. Also, love me dem european Christmas cookies in the red tin. So glad I dealt with the madness there because I landed in snack heaven.

Confirmation from the plastics guy, all manufactured overseas containers are basically non-existent for a few months until everything gets offloaded, cbp checked, trucked, filled and then delivered. Lol we won't have laundry detergent in stock until late January.

I mean it's the same problem it's always been. If you don't pay, people don't work, and if people don't work, boss man can't get people to get rae materials, make the things, ship the things, repackage and display the things, etc.

I had to park in the south forty today but inside it was fine? Lines were short and I didn't feel crowded. I must have just missed a rush. Also there are a lot of puzzles still if anyone wants one. PM me. Got myself a leg of lamb for Thanksgiving. And some fancy cheese for an app.

Just FYI there's very little in the way of any liquid soaps or household cleaners per P&G distribution, mostly because of a lack of appropriate plastics, so. I'm sorry I'm advance. Everyone is going to be a dick on both the retail and the commercial side of things for a while.

david_a posted:How long do those guacamole packs last? They're vacuum sealed, so surprisingly long, like 2-3 weeks. I tend to freeze the whole package and pull out one to keep in the fridge for ready use. It's super convenient! It's decent quality, too. Not as good as home made, but definitely better than bottom-tier neon guac from a taco shop. If it's not rebranded Wholly Guacamole, it's darned close.

There were a lot of people saying that they had never been to a Costco before so I’m sure that’s why no one knew Costco gas is a pro buy.

If any of you are the person who was in front of me at check-out with the purple hair, purple coat, AT-AT purse, and gave the cashier some homemade beef jerky - you are cool and I want to be friends (I was the lady wearing a 32 Degrees jacket and buying another, different 32 Degrees jacket)

Chinatown posted:My opinion on pre-made manufactured guac is that its gross as hell. Normally I would 100% agree but I pointed these out because they are the exception to the rule. Another question was how long they last, dunno, at least a month or two, the pack I bought like two weeks ago says use by Dec 26.

I mean the trend is headed back that way anyway because plastic gallons are wasteful and liquids are only able to be concentrated so far before all the water evaporates. I have a lifetime supply of those laundry jerky sheet things we got as samples, though, and my boss arbitrarily decided we were not going to carry them, so he threw them out. If you see the laundry jerky at church just buy it without question. They're like...thick dryer sheets, but detergent and they dissolve entirely.

Most front loaders have an insert in the detergent drawer that allows the liquid to be added at the right time - you pull it out to be able to use powder. Powder it way better anyway, it's cheaper, makes less mess and takes up way less space.

Use the garlic and peppermint to mask the dogburps.

Pretty sure it only matters if you run a cycle with prewash or prerinse. Ours has a second soap spot for prewash and it doesn't have the siphon insert for liquid soap on that one.

I'm up early for the first in a long time and didn't think about when Costco opened. So now I'm in the parking lot with the olds. Just waiting. *old person voice* God drat McDonald's won't refill my small black coffee any more and I've been up for seven hours and I can't read the crossword because the sun won't get high enough in the winter so I might as well go listen to conservative talk radio in the Costco parking lot for an hour before I spend two more bothering the greeters by talking about the weather

Yeah right now we're dealing with a toilet paper tube shortage because there's not enough recycled cardboard. My answer: "just convert it to tubeless rolls" Them: "we can't do that, nobody will buy it!" Buddy people gotta wipe at hotels and you really don't want them wiping on the only loving towels in existence because there's a massive linen shortage too.

The packaging could be for anything. Like I get the TP thing because people are stupid and went and panic bought. But now laundry detergent? I heard about the microchips and therefor cars (didn't expect that one but proves the "further down the chain thing), and GPUs and other stuff. It's just so random to me.
