Does Costco have any full size candy bar bulk packs?

I just bought 4 cases the other day that were on sale for Halloween. They also sell them regularly at the Costco Business Centers if you have one of those nearby.

It's great for heavy duty kitchen supplies. The pans and skillets are cheap, sturdy as hell, and for home use will probably outlast the person buying them.

This is a good tip, my Kirkland Signature non-sticks I got as a wedding gift 15ish years ago are starting to flake so it’s time for some aluminum.

I filled up at the church just last night so here’s my anecdote.

Shell station right by house has regular at 3.99 right now, church was 3.41. I also got the 4% from my CC, and I was the only one in my entire pump lane at 6:30pm.

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk

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.

Heading to church tomorrow to visit the optical department and get a new eyeglass prescription, and to check out the tire shop.

Anyone had tires installed at Costco? And is the installation appointment long? They've got a deal on 4 tires + installation and my current tires are looking a bit low in the tread.

Like others have said it really depends on the Costco. Mine is always busy but I live in a military town and there’s always a stream of jacked up trucks getting tires constantly, but so are the Discount Tire and Les Schwab around me too.

Maybe it’s also just mine but every tire I look at has to be shipped to the store and Discount Tire always inventory.

This.

I understand how to install dishwasher, but I no longer have the back or desire to crawl around on the floor of my kitchen to save the $0.00 free installation cost me.

Went yesterday to Everett, MA. Got my flu shot and Covid booster, wasn't too crowded. I originally got the pfizer 6 months ago and got a moderna booster, I just lied on the website when I made the appointment because they try to make you get a booster from the same brand, but the guy shooting me didn't care at all.

No onion dispenser here yet though.

Good tip, thank you. I want the Moderna too but was unsure if I’d get Costco Arrested for lying about my first two.

Pulled the trigger on the 77” LG C1 at the church today. That free extended warranty and it being $1000 off were too hard to pass up.

Grabbed more of the 32 Degrees thermals thanks to the recommendations in here, they’re fantastic.

They go on sale regularly. Is $11 the regular price or sale price right now?

$11 seems to be their new normal price. They were $10 last year but I mean it’s still a stupid good price. The Home Depot equivalent is $16 and feels thinner to me.

I have about 15-16 more small UHaul moving boxes I need to transition to these bins so I’ll grab a bunch in January when they go on sale for $8-9 with that inevitable after holiday storage sale.

No trip to the church is wasted, you go for one item and leave with 17. What 16 other items did you get?

CBC trip report:

I swung in yesterday and grabbed pans per the recommendation of this thread. 12”, 2x 10”, and 2x 8” sauté pans for $78 out the door.

Plus I got gas there too so it was a fuckin win/win.

I bought a 2012 sonata in nov '20 and carmax was blowing me up with offers to buy it back at 120% in jan '21

My local Toyota dealer that I service my 2016 4Runner at had been sending me the generic “local moms want YOUR 4RUNNER TONIGHT” type emails that had a link to call them so they could pitch me whatever dumb price they thought I’d take for it. The one I got last week had a flat out offer price in it that was more than I paid for it when I bought it in 2017.

Granted that would leave me with no vehicle and *less* money than I’d need to buy one back, it’s still dumb.

My wife and I are about to spend a bunch of cash on home upgrades. Anyone had any experience with like the flooring services and stuff?

They have a big appliance sale right now I guess, which we are considering. Quite a few on display although who the hell spends $2k on a gas range or $2k on a fridge with a built-in tablet?

I haven’t used any of the services, I’d definitely trust them more than Lowes or Home Depot though.

I bought all my new appliances from Costco when we bought our house two years ago, mainly because of the stupid long extended warranty on them with my Costco Visa.

Ah yes, when I moved to California from the Philly region, I found out very quickly that General Tso's Chicken was exclusively a Northeast invention.

What? No, not even. We’ve had General Tso’s in the goddamn Safeway deli in my bumfuck Washington rural hometown since I was in high school 20 years ago, and definitely in what passes for Chinese-American restaurant cuisine out here too.

If you have the Business Costco near you, try and buy pans there as they have huge selections. I got some Tramontina branded ones that are awesome to cook with that I've never seen in normal costcos.

These are legit. I bought the 8” and and 10” 2 packs and they been amazing especially for that price point.
