I'm gonig tomorrow. Will be filling up my truck's 36 gallon gas tank with 34 gallons of gas for 30 cents less than what the station around them sells it for. Will also be getting 4 or 6 $10.50 movie tickets for $8 each. Milk. Probably a big bag of potatoes. Maybe some of the really excellent prime NY strips, just barely worth it at $12/pound.

Also I use my vacuum sealer all summer as the garden stuff comes in faster than I can eat it. Last year I had about 10 bags of different types of peppers that we ate all winter long. Also 4 big bags of homemade jalepeno poppers, vacuum sealed. Also tried sealing/freezing some apples off my tree, but TBH when they thawed they turned brown and limp. Don't recommend apples.

I love my vacuum sealer

Bloo. Get the whole thing. It's cheaper and you get the chain for cheesesteaks or ground beef or stewmeat or stir fry.

I thought PSMO was the one that you process yourself? Whatever that is, I get and yeah I love the chain (not as much as the D).

I'm pretty sure the quality of Costco merch is on the decline. The stuff they sell feels like factory 2nds compared to the normal, name brand items. The Kleenex I buy at at the normal market is nicer than the Kleenex I buy at Costco. I know the electronics they sell are all lower quality, but it's creeping into the normal stuff too.

I think this sometimes and then I remember you can return things to Costco without the employees giving you poo poo.

About the only thing about Costco I have an issue with is the fact that the ones by me get their milk from Ohio when I live in loving Wisconsin.

Yeah I'm pretty sure the food court makes literall no money, and probably loses some. Gas might honestly be a zero-sum game as well.

They get you with the membership fees and the fancy poo poo.

if you go there weekly and just don't buy anything and get a free lunch from samples that alone is worth the membership fees

I can never tell the difference between a hot dog and a Polish dog.

I'm here to help you out with the doggy confusion, Keg. Often if the differences between things is shown using visual reminders, people are more likely to store the info in their memory banks, and no longer have said confusion when next seeing whatever the thing in question may be.

Okay, in the below pic, this one is a hot dog...



Whereas this one, in the next below pic, is what's commonly referred to in the industry as a polish dog...



As the differences are quite straightforward and clear, I'm pretty sure that, in future, you'll have no trouble at all distinguishing between the two.

And, yes, in advance, you're quite welcome. No worries at all, it' just part of Gibbis' Summertime service to members. :D
