if you are lucky enough to live near “the good Costco” you have truly been blessed

I live near the "good" Costco, and love it. When I need to stop by another ones, I always feel like they are just a bit more lower quality. I've theorized you can tell the quality of the 'Co based upon how many expensive bottles of liquor are on display. I've tested this when traveling.

Both the cheese and the almond danishes are soooo good. The cheese ones have a lil bit of tanginess and the almond ones have a ton of that good good almond paste.

Neither is low cal, unfortunately.

I have a decent Costco just 5 minutes away but I do drive about 30 minutes sometimes to a further Costco just because it has gasoline and they’re signifcantly cheaper for gas than anywhere else nearby making it worth it if i’m quite empty. They also carry the bottles of Ito En green tea and the Kirkland cold brew cans that my closer Costco used to carry so I load up at least 4 cases when I go.

You drive like an hour round trip for gas? How much cheaper is it?

My one has like 5 figure bottles of cognac in glass cases along with $500 boxes of king crab legs. Bourgeoisie as gently caress.

about 50/c gal cheaper for premium than anywhere near me (California lols). Again I also need to be running low on green tea and cold brew cans so it's not like it's only for the gas. Still pretty worth it if i'm getting around 15-18 gallons.

admittedly I do have about 6-7 case of coldbrew and around 8 cases of Ito En green tea, gotta drink more!

Yeah I've seen gas near freeway exits hover around $5, and the Costco gas is still like $4.25 or something crazy. If you make it an actual full grocery shopping trip it's still saving a lot of gas money.

Where I live it can be anywhere up to 60c/L cheaper at Costco

We have a dumb "fuel cycle" where gas stations will slowly increase the price over 1-2 weeks, and then almost simultaneously drop it back to basically wholesale price. At the peak of the cycle right now it's about $2/L and around $1.50 at the bottom.

Isn't Worcestershire made from anchovies though? Or was that just the original recipe from those dopes who left a bunch of fish to rot and got lucky? How far back does this anchovy erasure go?

The Milton's Meat Trio cauliflower pizza is pretty loving dope too, especially because I can eat half of it for less than 600 calories. Very surprised!

Yes Worcestershire still currently has anchovies in it anyways, but I like a Caesar with whole anchovies, anchovies in the dressing and Worcestershire all together, thus

Speaking of which, the bagged ceasar salad at Costco has some kind of anchovy extract or something in it. Not whole fishies but you do get the taste. I forget the word used on the ingredient list, it says something like anchovy oil extract or something. Better than nothing I suppose.

It still is made with Anchovies. my wife is vegetarian and we had to find a vegetarian-friendly option to use for some recipes specifically to get around that.

(Guinness as well used to use Isinglass or sturgeon bladder to clarify their beer, but I believe this stopped in the last few years)

I bought the 3 pack last week. I live alone.

First attempt upset my stomach, I think because I'm lactose intolerant and it's 80% butter. I've been taking a lactaid pill now and it's much better.

A few thick slices microwaved for 30 seconds and it's pretty drat good stuff.
