WescottF1 posted:I live not far from the Minhas brewery and have toured it once. All of their beers have a weird sourness to them which could be due to Monroe, WI's water. Kinda like how the Rocky Mountain water Coors uses must have a lot of iron or something in it, because to me Coors has a really metallic aftertaste to it. i thought i recognized the name of this brewery and it's because i once bought a giant can of this dreck for $2 just to see how bad it was. it was awful: http://minhasbrewery.com/our-brews/malt-liqours/axehead

does costco only sell a 12 month xbox live subscription online? i wanted to buy two of them and do the gamepass conversion trick but they did not appear to sell any standard xbox live subscriptions at my local store also, for the 12 month xbox subscription they sell digitally, it says it is limited to one per customer. can i just, uh, do two transactions? or is it more locked down than that

Pennywise the Frown posted:edit: Amazon popped up with this ASURION 4 Year Laptop Accident Protection Plan and I didn't know if I should buy it. I don't know anything about them although the overall reviews are good. I have 30 days to purchase it if I want. Asurion is a long-time device insurance/protection company. I had a good experience with them many years ago when I paid an extra couple bucks per month on my phone bill and broke my cell phone, but I also now personally think that the extended warranties that a person is offered by the store where you bought the product are usually a bad deal.

Spinz posted:Now see I posted in here that I thought those were great and I got mocked. Silly goons. For a healthier "ice cream" bar, I really liked the Yasso brand frozen greek yogurt bars that my store had recently. My wife liked them too, and she has Opinions about good ice cream and ice cream adjacent desserts. They are low fat and like 100 calories per bar. I don't know how often or widely Costco carries them though.

I think the key line in gas goon's post is "I've had numerous absolutely dogass customer service encounters". I have never had a bad experience at Costco and honestly I am kind of struggling to remember the last time I had a bad customer service experience at any store, not just Costco...

Rufio posted:Was it your last $22? Did it overdraw your account? What's the reasoning behind not just filling up? when i worked in a gas station ages ago, i tended to encounter a few main kinds of "doesn't fill up the gas tank all the way" customers: 1) person who usually only has a few bucks to spend 2) guy (always a man) who only puts a little gas in at a time to eke out the tiny bit of fuel savings that you get from driving around with a bit less lbs/kg total car weight because the tank isn't full 3) people who would come inside PISSED OFF and ask me IS THAT PUMP BROKEN because they pumped $25.03 instead of $25, and they explain to me that the reason this is bad is because "i buy $25 worth of gas at a time", no further explanation given

^^^ this ^^^AHH F/UGH posted:Not that it matters but because people are trying to find any justification possible to protect the rear end in a top hat who was an rear end in a top hat - my work has a gas allowance and it reimbursed us to the nearest $25. Everyone who has it does this same thing. My tank to go from empty to full is generally less than $50 so I just get $25 every time that it’s close to empty. your employer having an expense reimbursement system from the stone age is not an excuse to threaten the livelihood of a frontline retail worker

Used to be a godsend back in college before I became an established gold star member in minnesota there's nobody checking for your membership when you walk into the separate entrance to the costco liquor store. because all they can sell in there is booze. to everyione. DUH also i think because they can't restrict it to members-only here, the prices aren't amazing. at least, i don't remember the prices being anything special the couple of times i went into the costco liquor store Lutha Mahtin fucked around with this message at 03:55 on Jul 15, 2021 |

redreader posted:Just a heads up. Last time I got croissants at the entrance and didn't think twice. This most recent time I went, I got them at the entrance then double checked expiry/baked on date vs the dates of the ones in the actual bakery section. The croissants at the entrance were all dated for 1-2 days earlier then the ones in the bakery section. The entrance is where they try to offload old baked goods, it seems. yep, it's a classic store tactic. certain types of store displays, and certain areas of stores such as end-caps, have been found to be more appealing to the people walking through the store. so you use tactics like this when you want to get rid of expiring products or clear out old inventory.

it looks like we have some sparkly water noobs in this thread. here are some tips for those of you who aren't hip to the Laws of La Croix: 1) the quality of each flavor is very subjective. every person i know who drinks sparkling water has some flavors that they love, and some that they think are disgusting. flavors are also completely different by brand, so if you like lime Bubly it's no guarantee you will like lime La Croix 2) variety packs can be very hit or miss. MY WIFE and i rarely buy variety packs of sparkling water at costco because most of the combos that we see there include a flavor that one of us hates. if one of the minor flavors of a pack is an unknown, i might go for it, but i won't buy a pack where most of the cans are unknown flavors to me 3) carbonation varies a lot between brands. some people love the carbonation level of a certain brand, while others hate it. this is another area of personal preference you just have to figure out over time. in my opinion we're getting to the point where a lot of brands (including many generic and store brands) are figuring out that you need to do a different level of carbonation for sparkling water versus soda, but i still run across a brand once in a while that hasn't mastered it 4) costco has (in my area anyway) one of the better everyday prices for sparkling water. but i do often see better prices for it when it goes on sale at other stores

The Midniter posted:I found these dark chocolate covered coconut almonds at Aldi a few weeks back and despite not being a huge fan of coconut, I really enjoyed them. They were like the child of a Mounds and an Almond Joy. At my trip to Costco this past weekend I found a bag of the same type of confection, so I grabbed one. Sadly, they are not quite as good as the Aldi variety: the chocolate is much closer to milk than dark chocolate, and there's a tad too much coconut. I'll still eat them as they're tasty, but buyer beware. imo it's pretty hard to beat the value of chocolate candy at aldi

StormDrain posted:Whoever said the key lime has a creamy taste to it nearly ruined it for me. I taste it now. I still think it's one of the best flavors. the thing that brought me around to the key lime and limoncello flavor la croix was deciding for myself that they're more candy flavored than fruit juice flavored. if you compare them to your favorite "realistic" lime/lemon flavored seltzer, yeah, they might taste off. but all seltzers in the vein of la croix just use a secret proprietary mix of natural flavorings: look on the can for your favorite seltzer flavor which you swear is the most realistic, and you will most likely not find a breakdown of which specific natural flavorings are in it...

speaking of vacuums, during my last store trip i saw vacuums going for like $500+ and it was just low and mid tier brands, like dyson for example. if you're gonna spend that kind of money on a vacuum i don't understand why you wouldn't just get a miele

david_a posted:I freeze half of it when I open a jar because some weeks I don’t really eat anything it goes well with. That said I did keep a half jar for over a month and it seemed fine, but the lack of preservatives makes that a bit risky. it has salt and lime juice in it, and the bottle says it should last at least 3 weeks in the fridge after opening, so it isn't super weird that you went a month and it still seemed fine
