Went to Costco today to get kitty litter, ended up leaving after spending 180 bux. Good thing THE WIFE wasn't with me, it would have been 300+ easy.

Had the $1.50 sacrament, mustard and kraut. PBUC.

Went to the Stco today, and spent over 600 Canuckistanian kopecks. Now, I went for glasses, so that was like 400 of it. Didn't have the dog, was with a non-member and didn't want to go through the sacraments with him there and all that. Might have gotten into an argument about ketchup.

I've told people about their spice isle and many people are like :confused:. People just get set in their routines and forget parts of the store I think.

Their salt & pepper grinders are essential! Also their salt free seasoning mix is great.

In Soviet Canuckistan, for spices I go to Bulk Barn, especially if I'm doing an Indian dish, so I don't have stuff going stale. I just buy as much for the dish that I need. Bulk Barn, Princess Auto, and Costco are the holy trinity up here.

No! Not at all. Just broil them on tin foil for max crispiness. Just watch them and adjust cooking as such. Its pretty painless.

If you use parchment paper, it's less greasy, and probably cheaper.

pepperoni is greasy as gently caress... i remember one time i was delivering pizza and we had a double pepperoni pizza on sale... i put one of the boxes on top of my car while i was getting stuff situated and it left an orange puddle on top of my car despite having wax paper underneath the pizza in the box

I'm glad I live where I do, ya'll have poo poo pepperoni where you at. But we have 3 different companies started from the same Polish family that fight to make the best pepperoni. There was a 4th that didn't survive. (They sell one of them in Costco around here).
