Has anybody here who is crapping on gaming chairs actually sat in a gaming chair? I haven't but there was one guy in D&D who said that they were really comfortable, but lamented the styling. They are made out of surplus car seats, apparently.

I just bought some Aidell's Chicken & Apple sausage from Costco because I was looking for an easy-to-cook protein to add to my pasta. I was looking for a precooked beef hot link sausage and couldn't find one at my Costco, and so out of desperation bought the precooked chicken sausage instead. To my surprise, the chicken sausage is really good--much better than the chicken sausage I've had in the past, which tends to be too dry.

Orvin posted:Is chicken expensive on the coasts or something? All the grocery stores in the Chicago suburbs sell rotisserie chickens for $6 (usually have them on sale once a week for $5). $1 off doesn’t seem to warrant this level of excitement. The Costco rotisserie chickens are bigger than many of the grocery store ones I've had.

FogHelmut posted:It was definitely something like $0.22 per ounce for the regular burgers and $0.24 per ounce for the grass fed. 6 lbs of regular for $21.xx, 5 lbs of grass fed for $19.xx Huh, you are right about the price. Are you comparing the 1/3 pound grass-fed patties to the 1/3 pound ground chuck patties? The ground chuck patties had bits of gristle in them, and weren't that great. I agree the grass-fed frozen patties are way better. My Costco used to have 1/4 pound patties which were 75% protein/25% fat, and were both pretty good and pretty cheap, but they don't sell them anymore.

Chinatown posted:Went today to pick up a 34 inch TV to install at a family members house. got some La Croix. Costco now has a Kirkland knockoff as well. Haven't tried it but I expect it to be good. The Costco version of San Pellegrino is good. It is better than San Pellegrino, in my opinion. The Costco version of La Croix tastes pretty similar to La Croix, but I'm not really a fan of either.

Xaris posted:I just had to get a new card since my old one wasn't handed back and they were pushing the exec card hard, but I ended up just passing because yeah I don't think I'd pay for it. I don't drive (<50 miles a month), I don't shop at Costco more than just staples+cheese and clothes once a month, and we already have a good 3x dining/travel card. A simple 2% cashback (like citi double) is way more useful overall but it just depends on your lifestyle and needs. Someone who spends a loving assload on gas would benefit from it. Like to break event on an Exec membership compared to a simple 2% back-all, you'd have to spend $3000 on gas a year. If you have a simple 1% cash-back card, you would need to spend $2,000 a year on gas or $6,000 a year on Costco, or some mixed permutation of that. That's also assuming you aren't taking advantage of anb 5% Gas/Grocery/rotating/etc rewards cards, which also exist and are free. The Costco Visa card is different from the Executive Card. The only annual fee on the Visa card is that it auto-bills the normal Costco membership. It is pretty good card for being effectively a no-fee card since you were already going to pay for a Costco membership (otherwise why would you be posting in this thread?) silence_kit fucked around with this message at 21:53 on Feb 15, 2020 |

red19fire posted:I went two weeks ago and they had zero chicken. That was unnerving. They haven't had boneless skinless chicken thighs in the last month at my Costco, but I have usually been able to find them at other grocery stores. I feel like Costco shoppers are more likely than the average grocery shopper to panic buy and hoard food.

FogHelmut posted:Just hit three non Costco grocery stores. Got porterhouse steak on sale, t-bone steak on sale, flap steak on sale, bone in chicken breast on sale, picnic pork shoulder on sale. No shortage of anything. It's just the people who go to Costco. Yeah, I've had a similar experience. I haven't been able to get boneless skinless chicken thighs at Costco for six weeks now. But usually there are some at the other grocery stores I go to. I think the Costco shopper is more likely than the average grocery store shopper to panic buy and hoard food.

Lol good on Costco for doing that. It is totally selfish and a little insane to turn infectious disease, a major public health issue, into a civil rights or personal liberties issue. Like that one nurse a while ago who complained about her quarantine for a couple of weeks after traveling from an Ebola-stricken area in Africa back to her home in the US. Just totally inappropriate. You know, we are living in a society here!

Pennywise the Frown posted:I never even thought about storing bacon in the freezer. I like it very rarely but I have an air fryer now and it cooks perfect bacon in about 6 minutes. How do you store it? Just put it in a freezer bag? I roll up the bacon strips and place them in a glass dish, and freeze them. I then take the glass dish out of the freezer, pry the bacon rolls off the glass dish, and put them into freezer bags. I might just be able to just place the rolls into freezer bags and freeze them, but I'm afraid they might stick to the bags. I haven't tried it though. I make bacon cheeseburgers somewhat often (b/c I'm a fat goon), so it is convenient to be able to just take a few strips of bacon out of the freezer whenever, instead of having to go through the entire pound+ of bacon in the Costco package all at once. silence_kit fucked around with this message at 16:17 on Jun 13, 2020 |

Jingleheimer posted:The precooked bacon is a good purchase too, especially if you're mostly using it to put on burgers. And it's also great for a quick snack. The thick cut uncooked bacon is really good IMO. Fry the bacon and then fry your Costco frozen grass-fed beef burger patty in the bacon grease.
