Sometimes suppliers change, sometimes forever, sometimes not. Ask someone at Costco, they will help.

Stopped in after work and there was zero toilet paper or even paper towels to be found. That entire section was full of bottled water instead. Glad that I bought an extra package last time the Charmin was on sale.

Also got a dog, no seeds, but forgot to snap a pic.

I made the (poor) decision to go earlier. The line to check out started in the produce section. No toilet paper or paper towels at all.

I don't understand why Americans are afraid of poutine. Even if you ask for gravy with your fries you get funny looks. I know you guys eat a gently caress ton of gravy but the second it goes near a French fry all hell breaks loose.

In most places they've also been arresting the people who mass-purchased with the intention of reselling to desperate people, which is also satisfying.

Gasoline is a good alternative plus if it hot out is has a nice soothing, cool breeze minty effect on the skin.

Premier Protein drinks but saw those apple and oats one and really wanted to try it. They have 10g of protein less and 4g of protein fiber more.

The Co I hit up had 5 pallets of TP at opening and a good chunk was put by the time I got to it.

Costco gods were smiling upon me today. Got in line about a half hour after they opened, got in after 15 minutes in line and by then they were out of Charmin and only had Scott 1000 rolls. I passed. Got everything else and as we're headed to the checkout, a Costco employee is holding a case of Charmin and asking people if they wanted it. We happily accepted. Turns out a sinner tried to buy two packs and got turned away at the register. They are enforcing limits on a lot of items which helps.

The Trader Joe's here did that and replaced their TP section with big bundles of tj napkins and yeah i was like what the gently caress, that ain't smart at all and it's no replacement

Is that the rack of pork? Those are fantastic. I cooked the whole rack last time, this time I broke up the ribs separate, then I cut the rest into 1-in chops.

I ordered tires expecting them to take a while and they must have been in stock. I feel kind of bad about getting them now. It could have waited. Then, since I was there and it there wasn't a line and nobody arriving I shopped. I was actually down to the last few rolls of toilet paper and packs of dishwasher detergent so I was inbound soon enough anyway feels good to have what I needed again.

Do you guys feel a little guilty if you buy something that's not essential? I stopped to look at spring bulbs and it's like, I didn't come here for this so I shouldn't buy them. Just get what you need to get through this. On the other hand, if I'm not supposed to buy it don't put it out. I didn't even glance at the housewares tools and sports aisles, and just a peek at the seasonal stuff but no I don't need BBQ stuff.

I almost forgot the best part, I saw a guy walk in wearing his CPAP mask.

I was hoping they had more sizes online, but no dice. I need a 36 length, and they only ever carry 30-32 in store, and 34 online.

prisoners regularly use bread yeast to make toilet wine so it works either way

I would assume that alcohol yeasts have higher tolerances, yeah, and probably are more exotic strains and more tightly controlled production.

Ordered Michelin tires on Christmas day, they arrived last week, made an appointment to have them put on today. No issues with timing, tire center manager was great, took about an hour tops. Put me down for a good experience getting tires at the 'co.

You can throw some water in a glass and plop the green onions on a windowsill and they'll keep growing. Usually get a couple weeks outta then that way. Tomatoes are bullshit right now though. You have to buy the greenhouse grown ones, otherwise they're flavorless mush that rots in a day

FogHelmut posted:

I think the prime ribeyes (same as scotch fillet?) are $16 at Costco? I haven't bought them, might be more. Choice usually $11 or $12, iirc. Choice NY Strip is about $9. Choice Tri-tip (california style cut of sirloin) is $10 lb at costco for some reason.

Grocery store will have flap at around $9 regular price. Ribeye and NY Strip get down to $5 on sale, and that's the only time I'll buy them because the Choice steaks at Costco seems to be better than at the grocery stores somehow. Flap isn't worth paying full price because it goes on sale so often around here. And lol at buying tri-tip at Costco, it regularly gets down to $3/lb on sale at most places.

The one thing I will say is that Costco does a much better job at butchering their meat - particularly cleanliness of the cut and fat trimming.

I'll only go for Prime for special occasions.

Chicken is always better quality at Costco for the same price at the grocery store.

And ribs go on sale quite often at the grocery store, but aren't ever worth it compared to Costco. They're anemic and small, and Costco ribs have like double meat, its insane and worth the price.

Sous vide certainly makes cooking thicker cuts foolproof but also makes not overcooking thinner steaks just as easy, provided you can sear correctly

Use longer lengths of bag for moist foods, gives more room for the juice to stretch before it hits the seal.

Grillo Pickles were solidly disappointing. I guess I don't like regular dill pickles. It didn't help that Costco has for the first time Ive ever seen a giant jar of the Famous Daves spicy pickle chips, which were 10x better.

Also found my new favorite, by far, beef jerky. The Snake River Farms wagyu jerky is great, a little salty, but has almost no sugar in it.

Aw thanks so much for this! I have fennel wasting away in my crisper and I didn't know what to do with it. Sounds good.

Try the apples. I do two small honeycrisps or opals per half sheet pan of sprouts and as much onion as I can fit in there. Hit it with some extra pepper, it need it.

It's so drat good with just bacon and apples. Make sure you dice the bacon or it cooks badly. I do olive oil, s&p, and a few good shakes of crushed red pepper. If it needs "something" at the end, give it a splash of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice.

It does when they stand in front of their gas tank the entire time they fill up so they're standing in the passing lane. Then they give you the White Look™ when you pull into the center and they won't move
