Just saw this article about Costco "influencers" and groaned. I'm catching up on this thread from years back still but didn't see a link in the last few pages: https://jezebel.com/the-uncanny-fluorescent-world-of-the-costco-influencer-1846775539

Well it is gonna be a while before I catch up to the 'dine thread, so apologies if this was answered over there: Does Costco still sell any sardines that have bones and skin? I only see the Season boneless at my church. If anybidy else sees them I'll ask a manager to pick them up here too

Renegret posted:BJ's MODS! Also for some reason my Kroger sells KOs for reasonable amounts, so I'm good on that, I was looking just for a generic one to dump on hot food that's not trash quality, and if I didn't like skin, fins and bones I'd eat tuna instead

Fartington Butts posted:I could have sworn I’ve seen Wild Planet there, but if I did it was a while ago. The sardine thread said this was true as of 2016, but alas no longer. I would eat cottage cheese with 505. And pineapple. At the same time! But not that Daisy trash. Their "sour cream" isn't even soured cream, it's just milk with thickeners and homogenizers. Garbage!

Oh yeah buddy let's talk sour cream... and how it's just a lovely version of yogurt or creme fraiche or crema or skyr. Just buy Fage or whatever. Any situation that called for sour cream can be improved immensely by getting a cultured product that's not developed in suburban USAnia.  On a different note I bought a Costco-sized thing of peanut butter filled pretzels and have been giggling at the fact that they're filled with real "Virginia Peanut Butter" like oh thank GOD this nut butter is from one of the thirteen original colonies. They are delicious when you eat one at a time paired with one (1) fresh raspberry though

Huh, weird. I must have been looking at a store brand and been confused. It does taste bad though. Kroger carries sour cream and "real" sour cream right next to each other which is terrible and sad also

When I went yesterday they were only selling the Good Culture singles in multiples of 3 cartons, which is beyond the pale no matter how much one person can love cottage cheese

 Spicewalla Fried Chicken Spice from Ashland, NC This is what I coat my hardboiled lunch eggs in, with a dash of hot sauce. They marinate in my lunch pail and end up awesome. Also let me extoll the virtues of Foppen smoked salmon slices -- they're a couple dollars more expensive then the other brand, but they're fire and also somehow really friendly to the calorie counting I just started. Throw the lovely packet of honey mustard sauce in the garbage and put a lot of salmon on toast with cream cheese (or one wedge of the Laughing Cow light swiss for me). It's been post-work snack heaven

I needed to use up the last of the big jar of minced garlic so tonight I made ratatouille on roasted potatoes. For two people I ended up using two thirds of a cup of garlic. It was glorious

Hell yeah! When I went this week I noticed they stock D.O.P. San Marzano tomatoes so I picked up a three pack. Then I dropped it on the way onto the house. So I've been eating tomato versions of everything. Tomato pho, tomato eggs, tomato enchiladas. I think it's actually improved every dish too. PBUC

I picked up a couple bottles here in Kentucky, like 30 minutes from where it's made, and regretted not buying a ton more. Barton has some real misses and the entire 1792 line is trash in my opinion, but Kirkland is super delicious. The single barrel is even better if it's not all snapped up immediately like it is here. Both have a green apple note that I associate with Barton and some high-rye bourbons and it works great for the 'sco. They do still have Old Grand-Dad 114 for 26 bucks a bottle which is an insane value

Mormon Nailer posted:The one by my work just outside of St. Louis. Zero bourbon. It's fuckin weird. I just like gherkins and Costco so much lol. I buy the Vlasic Simply two pack and it's my jam, but I feel I could do better (read: garlickier). I don't do chips or slices as much. It could very well be the process as I let them go a loooong time, so I'll try again before switching varieties.

Mormon Nailer posted:Legit, I have just been stuffing entire cloves of garlic in the jar with the Vlasics and shoving them in the back of the fridge. Might not do anything much but I'll have pickley garlic eventually maybe. Ooh not a bad idea. Could be a reason to buy the jar of whole peeled cloves instead of the minced garlic

MisterOblivious posted:It's really easy to just peel it yourself rather than relying on Chinese slave/prison/genocide labor to peel it for you. Not trying to get all CSPAM up in here, but the stuff comes from a pretty disgusting source. I cooked for a living for a decade, so knife skills aren't really a problem. Good point though about the sugar. Also once again the church's supply chain is above reproach, unless they're using Chinese genocide labor in California: https://www.costco.com/christopher-ranch-monviso-peeled-garlic%2C-3-lbs.product.100446625.html (Yes I bet the California workers aren't treated great either, relatively speaking, but no ethical consumption in the Costco thread etc )

That sounds awesome compared to my last depression meal which was expired Kirkland Black Forest Ham and Kirkland Mexican cheese blend broiled over Keto-friendly bread. Obv all from Costco. The ham didn't even get warm. (In before "when I was a kid we ate literal trash out of a shoe" sorry) Still PBUC because where else would I get it.

I mean I was just going on what I know having read every single post and leaving plenty of blanks. If we're adding individual recommendations instead of just hive mind I'll add: -52 packs of "auto cleaning" terrycloth towels -big sack of new potatoes, avocados, apples (the carton packed Fujis), summer squash and zucchini sack, double bubble of butter living lettuce -bagels, for those living in benighted places without local options -Chocolate Banana Almond Milk -1L coconut waters -the giant tub of block feta (death to precrumbled cheese) -KS Fat-free Greek yogurt -seconding Rao's marinara, 505, and also the San Marzano canned tomatoes -sack of salt and pepper pistachios -KS Omeprazole (Prilosec generic) -Natrol melatonin gummies - Booze (KS vodka, gin, bourbon, tequila and even their margarita mix) And that's all in counter clockwise order like my store.

Instead of a chest freezer to have full of crap when you die get another normal fridge freezer combo and put the shittier of your now-two refrigerators in your garage/basement/pantry/guest bedroom to hold long term freezer stuff and beverages. Two normal sized freezers with stuff you like but can't get through immediately, one fridge with produce and delicious snacks, and one fridge just full of beer, white wine, rosé, seltzer, coconut water, etc. It's amazing, and also if you're not as much of a beverage person the second fridge is perfect for cooling things on sheet trays, holding big pans of leftovers or casseroles, and just dumping your Costco stuff into when you get back from the store before you portion everything out. But really it's a beer fridge.
