If you don't also need/want the fat, they usually have giant jugs of PB2 or PBfit.

They work really well for oatmeal and are delicious.

I got a giant tub of this once and did not like it at all. Threw almost all of it out. I've been wanting to try that stuff for years. :(

I'd eat oranges more but they're a bitch to peel. I have one of those old orange cutters from when I was a kid in the 80s and it works fine. But the pith is so hard to get out on almost any orange I buy. Some are better than others. It's a roll of the dice. I guess it's good fiber though.

edit: also they're just pure sugar. Although they're fruit sugar though which isn't as bad. I loved the orange slices I had when playing soccer as a kid. They open the cooler and all the kids rush too it and start blasting away at the oranges.

I don't see an advantage of that because I peel all of the orange. I make the cut across it and then peel away. How does a knife help? Do you use it to cut every piece of pith off of it? That sounds like it'd take 10 minutes.

Calling Pennywise to give the heads up on deeply discounted whey protein, calling Pennywise!

The only protein I know of that'll be on sale starting the 22nd is "Orgain Clean Grass-Fed AND/OR Plant Based Protein Shakes." $6 off. Not sure of the regular price. I've never had it before but it sounds more expensive.

I think they still have Optimum Nutrition whey powder which as far as I know is good quality stuff. I don't know of any sales on it though. I always get the Premier Protein shakes because I'm lazy and the macros are pretty fantastic. Pull one out of the fridge and drink it in a few minutes.

I'm also out of the Fit Crunch bars. I haven't been to the 'co in like 6 months. I still have my rebate check waiting for me there. It's $332 so I should probably get on that.

How is a kiosk faster than literally just saying the word's "a hotdog please?"

Pennywise the Frown
May 10, 2010

Upset Trowel
I think there's only like 1 or 2 people I've seen working there ever. I never had to deal much with a big line and a credit card doesn't take much longer at all than handing over cash so I don't really understand that. If there's a line, it moves very fast because it only takes a few seconds to order something. It's not like they have 50 menu options something.

The only thing I could ever see any kiosk anywhere being useful is for dumb super special orders.

edit: I actually can't remember if we have the kiosks or not. Next time I go I should probably try it out even if there isn't a line.

Yeah I just don't have much experience with them. If a fast food place is busy I just uh... don't go there. So I just never have to wait much in a line anywhere I go so there would be zero reason for me to use the kiosk if a human is just standing there ready for me. Go in, tell them what I want, pay, they give it to me. :shrug:

I got Dr. Bronners, on your recommendation, and I like it ok but I have some problems. It burns my taint and rear end in a top hat. Not a fan of that.

Also, it's a big bottle and I once dropped it on the shower floor and it perfectly squirted up a stream directly into my right eyeball. I had to drive to the ER where they said I had a chemical burn.

Be careful with that stuff.

Well that's very nice of your employer but I'm sure you must know that Sam's Club (owned by walmart) and Costco are two entirely different companies and their buildings take up different physical places in space.

This thread is for Costco. One of those two companies. Not the other.

From a long time ago.....

quote:

The article recounts a time when Jelinek approached Costco co-founder and former CEO Jim Sinegal. He told him the company was losing money over the iconic food item.

“I came to (Sinegal) once and I said, ‘Jim, we can’t sell this hot dog for a buck fifty,” Jelinek said, according to the Mental Floss article, which cites 425Business. “We are losing our rear ends.’ And he said, ‘If you raise (the price of the) effing hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out.’ That’s all I really needed.”

Those are great, but I hear there is a Costco tucked away in the highest peaks of the Himalayas.

You have to train a lot for that. Have supplemental oxygen, and get a permit from the local government.

Very few have ever completed the journey.
