Are you sure shopping at Costco is really cheaper when almost everything is in such large quantities? You guys really never buy more than you end up actually consuming?

If you've got two people in your household the bag of mini oranges lasts roughly a week. They start turning after a week and a half. Costco has it down to a science.

I have sinned against Costco and I repent. Went to IKEA, they've got two 'dogs and a soda for $2. They're so bad though. :( Like paying a Swedish person to poop in your mouth and then throw some lingonberries on top.

Honestly I don't think the Costco dogs (even the Polish ones) are all that. They're just okay. Can't beat the price though, so there's that.

My wife and I biked past a costco today. I suggested having lunch there at the food court and she said, "We should go to Red Robin, we can do better than the Costco Food Court."

I'm single now.

You made the right choice. If you go onto the website, Costco has two for one on mail order brides.

I got some turkey jerky that was on sale there about a year ago. I don't remember the brand, it could have even been Jack's Links. Either way it was loving terrible. I got like 3 packs because of the sale and I tried each of them once assuming that the next bag can't possibly be as bad as the last one. First time I've ever thrown a bunch of jerky out. I should make amends by buying some meat from Costco and making my own jerky with my dehydrator.

edit: God must have turned a blind eye here because the nearest place I've found tri-tip is at a butcher about an hour away. Those tri-tip steaks were cheap as hell around Seattle and that was my go to steak for a long time. Come back home to Wisconsin and I'm just ashamed. poo poo, I'm going to start calling around now again to see if any local places carry it.

edit 2: I JUST CALLED 2 GOD drat BUTCHERS AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TRI-TIP (OR SANTA MARIA) STEAK WAS......... WHAT THE EVERFUCKINGFUCK?!

Amex and Costco had a clash (Amex were convinced they were a prestige brand and looked down on the Costco people because instead of having MBAs they had just worked for 20 years) which led to Costco walking into the loving arms of Visa. They let 20% of their business walk out the door because they couldn't stop being snobby assholes.
