like 50 years ago companies were more into taking care of their employees because they figured it would lead to more motivated and loyal employees, less turnover and training costs and higher productivity, but then some executives and investors started thinking "hey if we gently caress over our employees we can keep more money" and their competitors were like "hey, we should do that too" and now costco is an anomaly

the chicken thighs are a solid deal, i think about $1.50 per lb, but i usually dismantle a rotisserie chicken for my chicken needs because i don't need to spend time or energy cooking it

ArtIsResistance posted:So what makes this store "cheap"? their margins on most goods are usually around 15%, which is very low for retail... so low they make most of their profits on membership fees instead of sales of course you typically have to buy larger sizes of items which means higher price-tags and may not be worth it if you don't have the ability to store or use them before they go bad

with costco baked goods i always do 2 things: first, check the best buy date and make sure it isn't within a week or so... second, i portion, bag and freeze them... usually like in groups of 4 since im unlikely to eat 18 hot dogs within a week

Harald posted:People always say this about grocery stores but I don't know if it's true. Prepared foods: obviously your prep area is going to be in the back/side of the store. Dairy: people have to go in there and stock it, so again, it has to go in the back. You'll almost always find dairy and produce on opposite sides of a store so people getting common items have to walk through the majority of the store to get them

if i run into my local safeway to grab some apples and yogurt, i gotta truck it 16 isles when there's 2 isles of stand-alone coolers for cold beverage next to produce instead of yogurt... it's not on accident, even if you're single-mindedly chasing down a couple thinks a trek through the store is an opportunity for the store to impress consumers with brand options, pricing, messaging, etc for future purchases

What is everyone's favorite way to prepare? i usually dump some in a bowl with olive oil, salt and pepper, toss it to get everything coated, then bake it at 400 for maybe 45 minutes until thing are looking brown, then i grate peccorino romano over the top and blast it under the broiler for a couple minutes

got the potstickers but i think the normal prep is kinda boring... i boil them in chicken broth with some soy sauce and pepper, hit them with a little vinegar when they're done, then eat it as a dumpling soup... pan frying them to make gyoza is pretty good too

Chinatown posted:You can also freeze pesto for later use IIRC. Can definitely freeze it for future use, if you freeze it in ice cube trays then dump them in a plastic bag once frozen it's portioned for easy use. It also makes a pretty good topping for roasted chicken and fish.

Taima posted:It's usually around 8 bucks and is 5 bucks right now. And yeah they are still discounting it as of today. Supposedly Costco doesn't loss-lead, but they also supposedly don't mark up more than 15%, maybe the margins on some Kirkland stuff is higher.

i have a zojirushi and and instant pot and use both all the time... haven't tried rice in the instant pot, but most recently i got some wild coho salmon from costco, wrapped it in a parchment paper pouch with salt, pepper, lemon slices, onions, garlic and a little olive oil, put the pouch on the steamer rack with a little water and cooked it on low pressure for 10 minutes, came out amazing and i did it outside on the patio to avoid fishing up the house

ShortyMR.CAT posted:I believe in the United States that all commercial grade fish is flash frozen and thawed. I could be wrong on this, but I feel like it's standard practice/the law. only sushi grade fish is required by law to be flash frozen before sale, and all raw preparations of fish must use sushi grade... other fish may or may not be frozen, but that's more an issue of logistics than law... i personally wouldn't mess with eating non-sushi grade raw because ive dispensed so many dewormer pills to fishermen who had sashimi on the boat

i used to have a kitchenaid food processor and it was great, not the same one on sale at costco, it was a bigger one... for blenders i prefer glass pitchers which for some reason only come with like cheap oysters because i do a lot of savory purees and stuff that can stain or odorize plastics and having used a $60 oster and a $400 ninja the results just aren't worth it
