Shoulda went through with it. No Renegrets

It was a logistics thing! We were throwing a party with a catered taco bar and it was easier to just get the drat churros from the catering place since they were delivering.

The Costco ones were better though.

The hardest part is getting the cardboard out to the curb. So if that tells you anything.

Nah you just slice it all up with a box cutter and stack it up, then haul off.

And don't forget to use a new loveseat as a support and slice through that too and ruin it on the first day.

Everytime I got churros at the Seattle Costco's there was almost no cinnamon sugar on them. It was like they didn't know what a churro was supposed to be.

I would consider it if it was like 1/4 that price (lol still wouldn't but if i had a mcmansion yeah sure)

What I don't get is the Kirkland brand Parmigiano Reggiano they have for $10/lb in those vac-packs (2 i think) is absolutely excellent for good Parmesan. If i'm buying 72lb of what is probably the exact same poo poo they sell divvied up in those vac-packs, I would expect the economy of scale to be a lot less than $10 a lb so like $6 a lb or something @$400.

e: This stuff. its even aged the same with the same rind-labelling so yeah, getting ripped off vs just buying 70 of these

Has anyone ordered hella pizzas from Costco before? I need about 20 pizzas by Friday and I was wondering if I can place an order a few days in advanced.

NVM just called in an order for 20 PIzzzaaaaaaas. Lady seemed unfazed by the amount. Idk how many times a week someone calls in an order for double digits amounts of pizza.

When you're going to get samples, pretend you're getting one for someone else, that way you can get two samples. And then you eat them both yourself. No one loves you.

I live in Puerto Rico. I incidentally signed up on my first visit the Sunday that hurricane Dorian was announced as heading towards the island.

The place was complete mayhem and there was like a one mile long line to buy bottled water. So that's basically my first impression

Ohh one more, if you see something you like thats not food and you don't buy it, you'll never see it again.

And when you impulse buy something and you're unsure about it, it'll be there forever.

And if the price ends in .97 it's on last clearance.

Oh hey it's new coupon day.

The deals look kind of wack this month depending on what you're buying, BUT baby bells are on sale which I always stock up on.

Other good stuff: sprouted pumpkin seeds (super healthy and good tasting) and pirates booty.

I saw something that said the little asterisk on a price label means they won't stock it again, regardless of price. Confirm/deny?

Kind of. It means that there are no plans to reorder once stock is out, so you're right there. However they do sometimes decide to reorder something again at a later date.

There are two kinds of people, those that get samples and those who take a principled, clear stand against their tyranny. Sorry I'm not trying to get run over by a mobility scooter.

Samples are cool and good like ketchup and dogs, and have lead to me purchasing products I probably wouldn’t have otherwise. I just have my SO stand with the cart a ways off and I shark my way in and out.

Get a dog and soda (with free refill) before you do your shopping so you are less tempted and also aren't clogging up the food court with a cart.

Just the facts, ma'am.
The Costco closest to me is Pentagon City, and other than being a truly eclectic mix of folks and an absolute madhouse 100% of the time, they sell chocolate Pentagons and chocolate Capitol buildings.

I was lusting after a automotive jack for weeks, maybe months and the day I went to buy it they were out. They looked it up and there were a few available across town, so don't give up!

I've bought a few things that are on mega clearance, like they have three left and just put the prices directly on them and now I search those out.

I eat a Costco dog about 3 times a week, lord provide. I load that poo poo up with mustard and onions, aaand also ketchup. I grew up from a tiny kid being given ketchup with my hotdogs.

:shrug: it's like if someone told me that Actually, cheese doesn't go with hamburgers. I wouldn't stop doing it anyway.

Also got an entire pallet of resellable boiled peeled eggs today - going to pickle half of them and use the rest as breakfast. Convenience.

This is the real pro move. Hit the food court first, then browse at your leisure with a communion dog squatting in your belly. Samples strictly to try out potential purchases.

Ketchup not going on hot dogs is a dumb position perpetuated entirely by fat Chicagoans that need to feel prideful about something. I would never put them on a Chicago Dog (that's what the tomato slices are for) but a regular old hot dog without all the other fixins, gimme that ketchup and mustard.

Go to the food court in the Costco on the north side of Chicago and EVERYONE is putting mustard/ketchup/maybe onions on their dogs.

I bought some neat wifi enabled lightbulbs from Costco and now my downstairs den is pimped out with awesome lighting I can control with my phone! Forget dimness, I can change the colour to whatever I want, and they even have a “party” setting whereby they flash random colours! Welcome to the future!
