Tried the two pack of flatbreads in the prepared foods section (was new at my local Costco), one is barbecue chicken (chicken breast, cheddar, red onion, barbecue sauce) and the other is pesto meatball (meatballs, mozzarella, tomato slices & sauce, pesto.) Barbecue sauce was too sweet, meatball half was surprisingly good. Would only buy again if they changed the sauce or if I could talk someone behind the counter into making me one with two of the meatball variety.

Probably depends on who you get or the proximity of a member of management. My theory is there are a bunch of esoteric rules that only get enforced when someone feels like going on a power trip or they're being closely watched. For instance I've taken friends a few times and the cashier never said anything, but the last time I took someone with me when he tried to pay the cashier said he would either have to pay cash or buy a membership when he tried to use his debit card - something about "the name on the payment card has to match the name on the membership card."

Granted the store I frequent is less than two years old, but I've never had to wait for gas. Even at 10 AM on a Saturday (friend was throwing a birthday party and needed to go shopping at the last minute) it was only moderately busy and we didn't wait longer than 10 minutes in the checkout line.

Yeah but there's this great indie artisanal butcher I buy hot dogs from who uses locally raised organic free range cuts of meat and natural casings, if you think the Costco hot dog is good you clearly haven't had a good hot dog

TheReverend posted:Worth it for just a goon and his wife? Absolutely. My wife and I have no children and probably never will, but pet food savings alone pay for our annual membership. Now that I drive by a Costco on my way home from work we've almost completely stopped shopping at traditional grocery stores with the exceptions being things that you can only obtain at Costco in bulk - two people aren't going to be able to eat a 3 pound tub of sour cream or two dozen eggs before they go bad, for instance.

Not sure on the tissues but much earlier ITT someone observed that the Kirkland paper towels and toilet paper are made under contract by the same companies that make the national brands.

Mine dropped the bratwurst for chili. Tried the chili, its kind of bland. Would rather keep the brats. Accretionist posted:Anyone else do 'light cheese?' How do you get the food court to do custom pizzas? According to the employees behind the counter all the pizzas are made hours in advance and they just pull them out of the cooler as needed.

Outside of local/regional beer I rarely see anything worth buying. Every now and then they'll have a sampler pack from Stone or Goose Island and in early summer I've seen 50/50 30 packs of Modelo Especial & Negra.

A friend who went with me when considering buying a membership asked the door checker on the way out how thorough they are - she replied if the receipt has less than 15-20 items they do an item count, otherwise they check for big ticket items or the most expensive ones on the receipt. Unclear if this is corporate policy or if how thorough the checkers are is handled at the store level.

The Slack Lagoon posted:Do you have the one that's on sale? I want it very badly We picked up the smaller one when it was on sale during December (FM2100), its been great. I have some sirloins I picked up just after New Years in the freezer that have zero freezer burn, and the resealable bags it came with are great for sous vide. I don't think you could go wrong with either, but the one that's currently on sale takes up a lot of counter or cupboard space.

therobit posted:I got curious and started googling. It looks to me like they will probably cover it and repair that flat for you. Please update is worth your outcome though. Costco road hazard warranty information. Looks like as long as you're the original purchaser, you have the receipt, the tires have been regularly rotated and the damage wasn't caused by vandalism, an accident, off road use or misalignment they'll cover it.

a hole-y ghost posted:where are you Probably a control state, where liquor can only be sold by franchisees/licensees of the state liquor control board. As a resident of one it sucks. There's zero price competition since the state liquor board is the sole source and sets prices. They also choose availability, so while there's 100+ different flavored vodkas available rarer stuff that's vital for classic cocktails has been discontinued because the state doesn't think the volume is high enough to justify selling it, and to take it a step further its illegal to import bottles for anything other than private consumption.

Also makes a great cold pasta salad. We tossed two pounds of fusilli with some cherry tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, Kirkland pesto and parmesan and a splash of reserved pasta water for a party on the fourth and had to sheepishly admit the secret was Costco brand pesto when everyone asked for the recipe.

My Costco used to stock 24 bottle flats of Deer Park sparkling water in four flavors (lemon, orange, black cherry, lime raspberry) but they've been replaced with 30 can packs of Klarbruun in two flavors (lemon/lime and black cherry/grapefruit.) It's largely a downgrade.

Most modern vehicles can run on E-85 even if they're not "flexfuel" capable. They just won't be happy about it and will likely run poorly/rough, potentially with a check engine light - but it shouldn't cause any permanent damage. There's rumors about how the ethanol will eat at rubber seals and hoses but again, modern vehicles have been designed to accept ethanol in the fuel (most pump gas is E10 or E15 unless you buy it at an airport, marina or race track) and can handle E-85. I'd be surprised if the fuel actually caused the problem - at least assuming the truck delivered E-85 in place of 87. e: the story linked below is a much more likely scenario.

Saw this in the prepared meals section yesterday - They're certainly more gringo than street taco, but they only take about 10 minutes to prepare - just reheat the chicken, fry the tortillas and assemble. Corn tortillas were surprisingly really good - thick enough that you can get a good blistered char on the outside without turning them into chips.

Coredump posted:I get pretty irritated with the DirectTV guys asking me every time I come to shop “Hey you want to hear what we got going on today?” You’re trying to sling cable that’s what you got going on, be upfront about it. Someone runs into them the first time they may think they’re gonna talk about something Costco has going on. Nope it’s just a cold approach trying to sale cable. They need to say “Can we talk to you about what DirectTV is offering?” I just tell them I don't have broadcast TV at home and it tends to shut them up.
