You guys should eat the chipotle bitchin' sauce with Fritos scoops. I may have gained 10lbs with one tub but it was worth it. My boss gave me a $1000 Costco gift card for working nonstop through a pandemic and frankly I have no idea what to do with it. I got some tires and probably 15lbs of cheeses and now I'm vapor locked from choices.

I have considered all of y'alls advice, listened to none of it, and bought a tent and an shave ice maker. And a ridiculous amount of cat litter. I live 1.5 hours from Costco so I can't really just wander in whenever so I just bought big stuff. I've always loved Costco but actually having money to spend at it is a game changer. I should move closer. I ate two dogs.

Fallom posted:Yo that cat litter in the hard plastic container may be a little cheaper and easier to pour than the big bag but it's not worth it. It doesn't clump at all so you just get an unsiftable mess of litter that reeks of ammonia so bad it made me light-headed. Well I guess I get to experience the wonders of the Costco return policy. I only got it because it's so big and my cats like a lot of litter (cause they're fat).

I am currently working on a sheetcake I totally bought for my niece and not because I wanted enough cake to drown in. I should pour some of the 15lbs of canned nacho cheese I definitely needed to buy on it.

Xaris posted:I tried those a-sha tainen noodles, yeah they aren't good. just tastes like plain noodles with some soy sauce and a bit of sesame oil. no idea how it has 1.5 g of sodium--it has barely any flavor or taste to it jfc Seriously where is the sodium in those Tianan noodles? They taste like nothing. I keep thinking I prepared them wrong but maybe they really do suck.

Those sherpa blankets are too warm. They make me sweat to death even if it's cold all around me. So I get out of it to cool off, get clammy and cold, repeat until I just give up. Why do you guys enjoy these things?

Trastion posted:WHO THE gently caress eats a 3.5oz steak? I like my bacon thicker than that. 8oz steaks are pushing the lower boundry. Wagyu is nothing like bacon. I'd compare it more to foie gras. Plus the fattiness isn't the only problem. The flavor is intense, too. It really gets pretty overwhelming after that much. I managed to get down 5oz of it once and I felt very gross after. Normally I can house a prime 12oz ribeye without much problem. I still wouldn't buy costco wagyu though. Get that poo poo at a fancy butcher so you can know the source.

The healthcare workers skip the line thing is interesting. I'm supposed to be able to use my hospital ID to skip the line but I'm scared to try it cause just clean the kitchens and break areas. I'm always afraid I'll show them my ID and they'll laugh at me for being a janitor and wanting to skip the line. Also I kind of like standing in line because you really get to have fabulously weird conversations with people that way. I tried a pumpkin pie and hated it a lot. The one I got was utterly flavorless and the crust was soggy even after I put it through the oven. Did I get a bad pie, or are they usually very bland and under-spiced?

I skipped the line this morning and I regret it. I didn't get to talk to Samuel the door guy. He always gave me top tips for stuff that's on sale and tells me about his dog Sparkles. It honestly made me sad to miss being socially awkward at the door. I bought my brother a serrano jamon for Christmas with all my leftover Costco gift card balances. Took four cards and some cash but I know it's worth it because I already gave it to him and he cried about it. Man loves a ham.

PIZZA.BAT posted:looking at getting myself one of the rowing machines from the website. can anyone comment on magnetic vs. water? they're about the same price and it looks like the magnetic one has nicer "motion" but seems like it'd be more prone to fail due to being more complicated The magnetic one is quieter and moves more smoothly and takes up less space. But my water rower is the most soothing and pleasant exercise experience I've had and I want everyone to get one. It makes wooshy water noises and if you close your eyes it feels like rowing on water. Honestly it's close enough that either version is nice but I'd spend too much money on another water rower today. Manuel Calavera posted:What's the iu on the vitamin D?

Kinda weirdly floral on it's own and a little harsh. I'd say it tastes like a downmarket Gordons. For the same price point you can get Boodles and it's better at everything.

I love the keto freaks because I'm t1 diabetic and there's SO MUCH sugar free and low carb food now. I do not understand choosing to be miserable about desserts, but I'll happily benefit from the insanity. In ham related news I ate approximately four pounds of pig tonight on accident by standing next to a jamon with a knife in one hand. Just casually tossing ham in my face without thinking was a terrible idea and I don't regret it one bit.

Pennywise the Frown posted:Yeah those Fit Crunch bars are nuts. The macros are still reasonably ok though despite it tasting more candy-like than a snickers bar. I still don't know if I trust those numbers. For what it's worth they don't spike my blood glucose any more than they should. As a t1 diabetic they're my actual candy bars and I love them as such. They're definitely a treat though and they'll still give you a fart bonanza if you get cocky and think you can eat two in a day.

It's not a time sink but have you ever stirred it wrong and slopped oily goo all over the bottle and the countertop? Cause now it's a pain in the rear end and your pantry smells of peanuts for a day. And now the jar is slippery and gross which makes your hands all gross and ugh. It's effort. Peanut butter shouldn't require effort.

One single lemon raspberry muffin has 42 grams of sugar to 38 grams of fat. Their first ingredient is sugar. They must taste like pure spun heaven holy poo poo. I buy a box of the cheese danish when I shop and then never eat them. I just consider one every morning until I shamefully drop them in the breakroom at work the day before they expire. They look so delicious but I just know one will murder me.

The Costco dog is low carb if you skip the bun. Eat two of them if you want, I don't know your needs. Get a water to go with it. The cashier at my Costco brought me a bottle of water the other day when I said I just get water. She's lovely.

But good lord that's... a lot of black garlic. My roommate bought a 20oz jar of Polar black garlic (I think? that's what costco has) on amazon and it was a pretty great idea. I would eat black garlic off a curbside sofa so I use it almost daily. If you eat it like that you should get it. If not? Wow that a lot of black garlic.

ShowTime posted:Marketing. I may be too late to stop this, but these will spike your blood sugar almost as much as actual sugar. Maltitol is one of the single worst sugar alcohols you can ingest, yet despite that, it's marketed as a sugar alternative. Sure, it's an alternative, but its rated almost as high as sugar on the glycemic index. Whey protein will also spike your blood sugar, because it's burned quickly. That's the reason you ingest whey protein. You want a quick intake of protein for muscle recovery. I want to see more on that because I eat those very occasionally as a treat and I'm type 1 diabetic. I've never noticed them raising my blood glucose on my monitor and I don't have to bolus on my pump if I have half of one? It may be that I don't eat anything at all with sugar in it otherwise, but I'd like to know more. Especially since it was my Endo that recommended low-sugar (NOT sugar-free) protein bars. I'd like to warn him if that's true.

Yeah I'm kinda being a nard and asking them to show their proof. But also my Endo just said "eat low sugar protein bars for a fun treat but NOT CANDY BARS" and kinda left it at that. And let me tell you what, they are largely abysmal and I don't want to lose the Fit Crunch bars.

Honestly the packaging and having liar liar pants on fire Robert Irvine as a face is what made me start deep diving into conspiracies about dying from maltitol. For the record the reason they don't affect me much is because I don't eat the full bar. Turns out eating in moderation because maltitol makes me want to die from farts was a good thing.

Has anyone mentioned biltong? Find somewhere to get some biltong. I dropped my dog on the ground on the way out of the store yesterday because a very small old woman hit me with her cart. Going early really gets you in with the elderly and I had an idea: Cart Chauffeurs. Someone to steer the cart while you aimlessly shop without a care. Employees see you clip a single ankle or block a whole aisle? Mandatory Cart Chauffeur for the rest of your trip. Sell it to people as an extended service you earned by being a Member. Have gold elite chauffeur memberships. I'm just spitballing, but I think my idea has merit. fizzymercury fucked around with this message at 13:26 on Jan 31, 2021 |

The crispy bottom half of that cheese bread has contributed to many of the pounds I have gained since I got a Costco card. It's stupid how delicious it is. Sometimes I make roast garlic butter and brush it on top. Don't do that, you'll just be a butter biscuit of a person. It's too good.

Costco saturation hasn't reached out where I am and it probably never will. People have to drive more than an hour to the City to go. I get to bring all the Costco goodies to parties. People treat me like some kind of snacking shaman and it's pretty great. Plus now everyone I hang out with asks me to shop for Costco stuff for them so I get to go more. I'mma get fat doing runs for other people just as an excuse to eat two hotdogs for lunch.

I dump an indiscriminate amount of the pesto (like half a jar? A lot) plus the juice of several Meyer lemons, salt, and some honey onto the 8lbs+ pork butts that go on sale for $1 a pound. Cook it at 300f for 6 hours. You can eat it with a spoon. It is majestic. The pesto is terrible in anything else. I find it offensive on pasta.
