Also my furnace is super old and "not really serviceable" according to the last HVAC guy who looked at it. I'm hoping to hold out until Spring to get that and the AC replaced. Anywho, using space heaters instead of your home heating can be fine but like that one goon said, some of them run at like 1400W and lol at running that for extended periods of time

I'm damned proud to be a two-time Costco thread namer. Is there money?

I don’t have a heater because it was a poo poo inefficient wall heater so I ripped it out since it rattled like crazy when cars drove by and was too close to my speakers anyway

My water heater is in the corner of my kitchen though so if I am really cold I’ll take a shower and it will raise my apartment temp to like 68-70 :stonks:

By no means am I saying it isn't gross, undersized, or any other bad thing you can say about it. However. It has onions.

Is the membership worth it, if I just did online? I fear it's not.



I've followed this thread like a hawk, just to live vicariously

I’m more or less single and don’t have a chest freezer and shop once a month or every other month at costco. Their prices on seafood, meat, alcohol, and dry bulk products are really great relative to the quality. My regular rear end apartment freezer with ice maker can hold a pack of two whole chickens, ground beef, chicken thighs, a box or two of ready-to-cook stuff, some fish, a pack of ribeyes, and sometimes a pork shoulder that I’ve trimmed and portioned.

Also omg the price of their extra firm tofu packs is :sparkles: wowwowowow so cheap :sparkles: as are most of their other goods

Not to continue the sams club talk, but you could actually use their app as a self checkout. As you're shopping you just scan whatever into the app and when you're done shopping you pay through the app and show the receipt on the app to the door person and out you go, never have to step foot at a real register. It was kinda cool.

Ours come in bags, is there a new new wrapping again?

I miss the days of the polish dogs with the inside out wrapper.

I guess it's more accurate to say that the heat fuses part of the bun to the new paper wrapping so it tears when you lift it.

I picked one up recently and it works great! I find the touch buttons on the tower itself kind of annoying and finicky but the remote solves that issue.

I have one, it’s great! I live in Chicago in an old building with building controlled water baseboard heaters and it really saved me the 3 times in one month that the heat went out.

Those awful Cadets? I lived in a rental ~15 years that had those. I woke up one night to the smoke alarm going off because the one in the living room was shooting out flames. Fortunately it didn't ignite anything else before I shut the breaker off. The repair guy said they have a failsafe mechanism that supposedly prevents that but I guess it failed too. They sucked at heating and cost a ton to run in a crappy house, even in the mild PNW.

Any trip reports on the small-ish Fridgemaster refrigerators? They seem like a better alternative to one of those cube mini fridges. It’s between that one and a similar one from Danby at the business center. We’re trying to decide

Those aren't onions. It's a mix of solid lard and dry ice. That's how forsaken sams club is.

This is the exact unit I bought for my gf that I spoke of last page. It works great but yeah added about another 10bux to my electric bill from her using it like 4 hours a day.

It makes my girlfriend happy since somehow her fingers are ice at all time or something? I don’t really understand how that is possible. But she loves that thing so A+ recommendation from her.
