My stupid conscience resulted in a mediocre food court experience: Chicken Ceasar salad - it’s a salad alright. I wish like it tasted like anything; some black pepper on the chicken (or, you know, any spice at all) would have done wonders. At least the lettuce and tomatoes seemed fresh. Vanilla Açaí swirl - this was bad. I don’t know what genius decided it was a good idea to mix ![]() Making up for it now with some dark chocolate covered pretzels I foolishly bought and the two whiskeys that magically appeared in my cart.

ShortyMR.CAT posted:I'm not that much a fan of the costco jug of hummus. And the spinach artichoke dip is so-so . Bitchin Sauce is forever highly recommended to everyone who hasn't tried it yet. I don’t think we have Bitchin Sauce at our CostCo but there was some kind of cashew spread. It might have been Sabra too?

I have the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S3 Plus on my ‘08 GTI for what it’s worth. I think even that tire is borderline overkill for my car. There was a definite drop in mpg compared to the OEM tires.

My CostCo tried self-checkout lanes for a year or so which was modestly better in some ways, but they got rid of them because people stole too much stuff. Even on weekdays when it’s fairly dead it can be a pain because they likely only have 1-2 lanes open so they still get backed up.

Went to Costco expecting to get a hotdog but I walked out with the store-made “Chicken Street Tacos” instead (new-ish thing found over in the meat section). Somebody else was picking one up and said the cilantro sauce that comes with it was amazing. Verdict: tacos were good. Cilantro sauce was not life-changing. Chicken was tender, the fajitas weren’t dry, etc. I don’t think it’s going to win any awards for value but I guess you’re paying for the convenience. Not sure I’d pick it up again but I don’t regret trying it.

Even if it was good, 48 oz seems insane. I would expect it to lose a large amount of flavor before it runs out unless you’re cooking meals for 12 everyday.

I tried the Banza chickpea pasta based on the thread's recommendation. I can confirm that Banza + $4.99 chicken + pesto is a solid combo. One word of warning though, the box mentions it can foam a bit. They're not lying, I turned my back on it for 30 seconds and my stove top was suddenly reenacting the end of Ghostbusters.

I bought my C8 from CostCo around Black Friday last year and the prices were comparable to whatever other deals were around. The relative pricing on the 55 vs 65 isn’t the same in every retailer either, so you have to do a little checking around for the exact TV you want.

for the record I am indeed extremely offended that there exist people who describe bell peppers as “bitter” But apparently that can happen if the peppers get too little water when growing. I wonder if it’s also one of those foods like cilantro or white pepper that tastes radically different for some people.

My Roomba’s arch nemesis is an IKEA Poäng chair. See that strip on the bottom connecting the two halves? It’s beveled perfectly so the Roomba can drive up on it but then it gets stuck. The vacuum seems to loving love that chair and will exploit any possible lapse in your barriers to find out that bar and seesaw on it.
