I sure do love when "just the essentials" Costco trips turn into $800, two-cart ventures. Got a big bag of fried jalapenos for salad topping or whatever. They have a nice slow building heat but need salt as they are pretty bland on their own. Happily, Caribbean Food Delights Jamaican beef patties were back in stock so I got a box of them. No other beef patty compares. To keep my small children occupied while we shopped, my wife gave them a little kids' book that played Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. They promptly destroyed it, literally tearing it in half. When we tried to pay for it at the register, the checker said "We're a billion dollar company. Go get another one". PBUC.

I’m not sure I finished the bag. I got pretty sick of them and ended up tossing them out when they inevitably got stale.

No, hotdog price is a not going up quote:Since 1985, Costco’s $1.50 hot dog combo deal has been a company staple. In 2021, Costco sold more than 122 million hot dog and soda combos worldwide, the company announced in January 2022. quote:THE QUESTION Gettin dogs as part of the research cracked me up.

If they carry Parmesan crisp crackers (mine has everything bagel flavor), those are great. Also, I get this parm keto snack mix that I like. Not great on the macros but better than most snacks.

Really enjoying the Taiwanese Sticky Rice packets from my local co for a no-effort lunch. It’s got a bunch of mushrooms and seafood and umami flavor in it, would recommend.

Basically pure protein, you can add a little cheese to jazz it up in an omelet or on a sandwich or something or just cook and it eat straight. It's about as close to pure protein as you can get.

I guess I just bought a house (going through inspection and closing process) How good is getting appliances and furniture from Costco? I've heard the experience varies, while you know you're buying good stuff from Costco, the actual delivery service (which is third party) may vary by area.

Ineffiable posted:I guess I just bought a house (going through inspection and closing process) Congrats! Depending upon where you are in the US, the appliance might actually be delivered by Costco directly. Right at the start of the pandemic they bought out the old Sears delivery company, so more and more things are being delivered by them instead of outsourced. Last year I decided to buy a chest freezer, and it was delivered within 3 days by Costco directly, right into my garage.

binge crotching posted:Congrats! That's awesome. A lot of stuff at Costco does seem to be in our price range so we may just do pbuc for most of the stuff we would need to outfit the house(definitely peeping those robot vacuums) Will they pick up old appliances? You probably just get to write them off as a tax for donation or something I bet.

Check if you have a Habitat for Humanity Restore around, there are certain things they'll take.

My costco appliance deliveries have included haul away of the old ones but some reviews make it sound like that's not always the case. Check the fine print!

CitizenKain posted:Check if you have a Habitat for Humanity Restore around, there are certain things they'll take. I used to volunteer at a local Habitat Restore. Please, please make sure that you donate stuff that still works fairly well because the Restore is not a dump. e:my first job at the Restore was to clean a fridge. it was literally covered in stickers; lots and lots of stickers. I probably went through two full bottle of Goo Gone by the time I was done. It also dawned on me that this was a very gentle form of hazing for the new volunteer. At the end of the day it was a good experience, but again, please make sure you donate good working equipment to your local Restore. Anyway, Costco is amazing. My brother lived in Ukraine for a couple years, eating foods at the local open air outdoor markets. When he came back, going to a Costco blew his loving mind. tango alpha delta fucked around with this message at 20:31 on Jun 7, 2022 |

binge crotching posted:Congrats! About a month ago I had one of those plastic outdoor storage sheds (but like half height for trashcans thing) delivered. Per the costco emails it was supposed to arrive at the delivery company who would then schedule a delivery time with me directly. What ended up happening is CEVA dumped it on my front porch without so much as a knock at the door. If I didn't have my own fat tire dolly to ratchet strap it on for hauling to my backyard I would have been in an even more annoying situation as it's a giant palletized cardboard box with 150lbs of poo poo inside. Costco delivery is a land of contrasts (but Costco CS is responsive to any issues you need resolved the times I have interacted with them).

https://www.costco.com/lg-65%22-cla....100761679.html I've been eyeballing a 65" LG C1 for a while now and heavily contemplating it every time I visit my local store. But now I'm at a crossroads. Online and in stores it's $1599 but says the price expires 7/4/2022. Knowing that the C1 is a discontinued product from LG and stores are trying to clear existing stock, do I get it now or see if the price goes down for some 4th of July sale?

We're waiting and checking the price for the 77" version of the same TV. Last time the price expired it went down $100. I'm willing to wait and see.

jisforjosh posted:https://www.costco.com/lg-65%22-cla....100761679.html I doubt it will go down much from there, you are more at risk of it disappearing from the store before it gets that much cheaper. That is a wild price for a OLED.
