Full stack of puzzles right inside the door today. Had to resist getting the 500 piece after buying the 1000 a few days ago and not even attempting it yet. I lust for puzzles.

(Packaged) bread I buy at Costco stay fresh for like weeks longer than anywhere even buying the exact same product/brand and tbh it kinda weirds me out, are they doing something different like irradiation to make it stay fresh longer (not saying this is a bad thing) or is it just a much shorter/more efficient supply chain or what? Fresh bread is different though, the in store stuff has what I would consider the “expected” lifespan

Get the fresh bread, freeze it for a few hours/overnight so it will hold it's shape, vacuum seal it, enjoy it for weeks, defrosting as you go.

I do yeah, but it's usually my wife and I eating at the same time so it will be two or three bagels or the ciabatta or four or six slices then I reseal the bag. Just give yourself a bit extra, and as you use the bread you get more reseal real estate.

Yeah I like the artisan rolls for sandwiches but I have trouble going through a full bag in a week before they go bad, so I didn’t do it that often. A vacuum sealer is really a pro tier Costco purchase, and I’m thinking of getting a chamber vacuum sealer (perhaps the one Costco carries) to take the next step.

If you can swing it, get the chamber sealer. Chamber sealer all the way.

Huh I've had the opposite experience where the costco bread goes moldy way quicker. I don't buy their double packs anymore because of it. In Oregon

Yep even the socks often top out at size 11 so the only item I can buy reliably are the underwear. They know their clientele though (short and fat  )

I think the only clothing I've ever bought at Costco are things like gloves or hats. Everything else is always too big. I'm smiling thinking about the sort of person whose entire wardrobe is from a Costco though.

I have a number of graphic t-shirts, but even those vary wildly within the size L. I bought a Hurley hoodie recently and it was skin tight in large so I bought an XL. Pants are hit or miss whether or not they have stick legs or giant baggy legs compared to the waist size, but that's true anywhere. The Kirkland dress shirts are giant circus tents. I bought the fitted shirts online which are fine. The only issue is they advertise as no wrinkle/no iron, but the collar always flattens out when you wash them and must be pressed. I have shirts from other brands that maintain their integrity through the wash.

Kirkland winter socks are the poo poo. I only buy brands like Smartwool for summer hiking and for skiing. For general full length, cold-weather, mostly wool socks, Kirklands are inexpensive, durable, and work well.

The downside is when I buy something I really love I can't go back for another. I got a pair of chinos there that I wore for half my Costco vacation and wish I had three more pairs like them. They look nice enough to wear to a dinner date and they're just simple basic pants that go with anything.

A Pack of Kobolds posted:The Canadian shibboleth Ironically it was Costco that broke me of my love of KD. They sell a case with extra large boxes of KD, which threw off my preparation because the microwave times are different with +%50 macaroni in a pack. Plus that is just TOO MUCH and you get sick of it way quicker. I haven’t bought any in ages, instead going the pasta/evap milk/shredded cheese and it is a winner!

Agreed, I would like to see an in progress shot of the jamon. I am feeling very good about my decision to not buy the jamon, but my partner is feeling regret. I made it up to him with additional rotisserie sacrifices. We're going to be eating enchiladas for a long time now, btw, the canned chipotles in adobo are back in big can form.

Went to Costco with the whole family yesterday, first time since before the pandemic. Wifey and I saw a bed that we loved and we were looking for one anyway so I went back today with my FILs truck to buy it. All the shameful Costco dads just stood there like assholes watching me struggle to get it onto my flatbed by myself and didn't offer any help  Chilling inside right now because i just rolled my ankle trying to get it in the front door. This bed better be loving worth it.

This is the one thing I don’t really like about Costco - any large items it is a complete crapshoot if you get any assistance at all. I once got an entire standing safe into my car (wagon) by myself and I nearly died. Thankfully my FIL helped get it out at home. From then on I swore only to buy the big stuff online with their free delivery!

The cashier actually told me that if I needed help loading it, to let the receipt checkers know and they could page someone to help. Of course, that was the easiest part so I didn't bother. The hard part was getting it in the house.
