Outside of Korea it's the busiest I've ever seen. Still worth it to get more POG than you can possibly consume, and by far the cheapest gas on the island.

That's the plan! I'll refill my tank of the convertible I'm renting to take to the north shore for the weekend.

POG?

I just googled it and I'm damned near sure they gave us this when we checked in along with a cool towel doused in citrus.

I love this place already.

Checked out my local church early Superbowl Sunday morning. No french cheese bites. This was the second most heartbroken I've ever been at the Costco (the first was seeing that the pull apart cheesy bread was gone).

I now need to get a friend to get a job there so they can tell me when the good stuff comes through. I don't even want a discount, I just want the deets, the 411, the skinny, etc.

Hey, is Costco stocking those massive 55 qt bags of potting soil yet? I have a fuckton of things to plant.

If you’re looking to spice up your yard, the bare root fruit trees and perennials are an insane deal here. I planted a peach tree, a 4 in 1 cherry and a 5 in 1 apple. They were $14 and $19 respectively.

Ok fine these FitCrunch bars are amazing. But I kinda like how I simply hate eating for awhile after having the Kirkland recycled food bars. "Wow, finally done eating that, I can't bear the thought of consuming solids for awhile". Great for a diet. I could eat a lot more FitCrunch bars. It's like a less suagry Snickers.

Gonna get some more soil next trip, we're still two months out from planting season here.

Those bars really are something special. Between that and the Premier Protein Vanilla shakes I've cut out a huge amount of my unhealthy snacking when at work.

For me they still both have that protein bar effect of "no, no more food, give your body a few hours to cope with this" that turns off the hunger in my stomach.

My Costco has an outside food court.

As of today, they verify Costco membership before letting you order.


You would think that the food court workers were putting babies in blenders in the back, or staging “The Aristocrats” style offenses out front.

I love self checkout at my costco. Nobody else ever uses it so I can just get in there, let them ring in my larger items, toss my smaller poo poo on the poo poo shelf, check out and go. It's awesome and way better than waiting for 10min for a normal checker.

Probably. Costco uses nitrogen gas so if you got your tires installed a Costco you need to go back to Costco or another place that has nitrogen to get them topped off. You shouldn't mix with regular air.

Isn't regular air already like 70% Nitrogen?

If you absolutely have to, like if one tire is low, it’s ok to mix. But they recommend you get it evacuated and refilled as soon as you can. I think it slightly unbalances or wears unevenly if you have one air and one nitro tire. Or maybe air/nitro mix heats up faster? I received free nitro for a year when I bought a new car, and it was a legit 2 mpg difference when I finally got new tires without nitrogen.

Air is 78% nitrogen.

The part I like is just that it's a place I can easily get free compressed air. Other than my house.

Yep. I mean it’s free and could be convenient so go for it, but I wouldn’t make a trip just to fill it up. I have a little portable DC/AC compressor that takes a little bit but at least it requires going nowhere. The only advantage of nitrogen is that it seeps out slightly slower, esp if a car is sitting longteem, but the advantage is just as thoroughly wiped out by “check your pressure once in awhile”

More or less this, nitrogen is nice to have, but worth about $5 to go out of your way for.
