Guys GUYS I just found out that you can use the Costco Citi Visa card AS YOUR MEMBERSHIP CARD Flash it on the way in. Use it to pay at checkout. No need for a separate card. It has your photo and your membership number on the back, so it is valid Costco ID. AS IF THIS CARD COULDN'T GET ANY BETTER

Once inside my local Costco, while I wandered, not quite lost, though Eating many a quaint and curious sample from every row-- While I shopped for beef and flannels, Kirkland gin and huge flat-panels, Suddenly a raven perched upon my sherpa throw. “‘Tis some awesome bird,” I muttered, “Hunting bargains just like me.” Quoth the raven, “PBUC.”

Peachfart posted:I wish they let you mix/match the 2-pack deals. Like, I want to buy a package of danishes and a package of muffins. They are both 2 packs for 7.99(I think), so I'd like to buy one of each. Same. Anyone ever tried freezing the muffins or pastries? I love them, but as a bachelor living alone there's no way I could eat 12 muffins/8 danish before they go bad. The croissants freeze well enough.

FogHelmut posted:lol if you don't have the credit card and run every transaction in your life through the card like even paying bills with the card so you pay bills on your bills and you get cash back on your cash back I love going out to eat with a group, because I'll just put the bill on my Costco card and have everyone venmo me. - Server is happy they don't have to split a bill 8 ways - I look like a baller (even though I'm getting paid back) - I get 3% of everyone's check - Doesn't cost me a dime at the end of the month Also, thx to everyone who confirmed that I can freeze muffins successfully. Looking forward to fattening up for winter.

belt posted:The Costco here in Lincoln just opened like a month ago so I feel like people don't know about it yet, there are no lines anywhere and it's not crowded at all. None of my local Costcos (Los Angeles) ever seem to have a downtime. I've been at like noon on a Wednesday and it's just as crowded as it is on a Sunday. At least they keep 80-90% of the registers open at all times, so the checkout lines are rarely more than 3 people deep, PBUC.

Tim Whatley posted:Did they change how they do things at all? Moviepass sounds great but I feel like it's thrown out instantly the moment you want to go to the movies with another person because you can only buy one ticket. I also go to a theater where it's reserved seating and everybody buys days/weeks in advance, meaning I'd have to drive outside the theater and check in or whatever like weeks out. I also live in an area where there's a lot of presales/assigned seats, but all it takes is planning ahead a little bit. If I'm going with a friend, we just go to the ticket counter/guest services together and pay for the tickets separately. Or if it's a weekend, or a big new release, I'll swing by the theater earlier in the day and buy the tickets then. Going with a group is an inconvenience, but I'm totally willing to do a little extra legwork to see unlimited movies for ~$7bux a month.

Geoj posted:Not sure on the tissues but much earlier ITT someone observed that the Kirkland paper towels and toilet paper are made under contract by the same companies that make the national brands. You're getting the same product at a lower price with a different label. I buy the tissues. They're great. My only gripe is that they stuff more tissues into the same sized box (compared to name-brand). This seems like a weird thing to complain about, but they compress so tightly that your first few pulls out of a fresh box either (a) rip from being stuck inside, or (b) you end up taking 3 or 4 tissues stuck together when you only wanted one. After the first ~10 tissues are out of the box, though, it's smooth sailing.

Same. That makes so much more sense than mailing out paper copies. In a perfect world it would arrive before the Superbowl, so I can blow it on a TV upgrade. But either way I am grateful the good Lord Costco has rewarded my devotion in this life and not the afterlife.

It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that there aren't a ton of young Costco members. Millenials just don't have the money that Boomers had when they were our age. Every single "MILLENIALS ARE KILLING X" article should just be titled "MILLENIALS CAN'T AFFORD X".

My local church was so busy yesterday that when I left, there were no carts whatsoever in the cart area. The cart collectors were hustling, but as soon as a row of carts got pushed in, the congregants would descend upon it and the cart area would be empty again within minutes. Even though it was that busy, I was still in and out in under an hour, and there were only 2 people ahead of me in my checkout lane, PBUC. Also, during checkout, they flagged someone over to upgrade me to an Executive Membership. I didn't think I spent enough at the 'co to make it worth my while, but apparently I do. If I don't break even, I can just get the difference refunded, so whatevs.

My Citi Visa rewards cert came and I'm looking to blow it on a TV. Was going to use it toward a fancy Samsung but the $339 TCL 55inch 4K has me questioning if it's worth paying more. I figure with a 7-year warranty (Costco+Citi+SquareTrade) there's minimal risk involved. Anybody have one?

Few weeks ago I was next in line for the pump, and was stuck for a near eternity behind a man who filled up his car, then got two red gas cans out of his trunk, filled them up, then got TWO MORE out of his trunk, filled them up, and then got a fifth and final gas can out and filled that one up as well. The forward pump was occupied by an Escalade driver who looked like she had never pumped her own gas before (Got out of car, stared at pump, got back into car for her purse, dug through purse to find credit card, couldn't get gas cap off, etc). Luckily I had a food court smoothie in hand to keep me from losing my mind, PBUC.

I have become a weeknight shopper. Here in LA every church is packed regardless of time of day, but I've started going around 7-7:30 PM and it's been heaven. Ample parking, traffic-free aisles, checkout lanes 2-deep max. It's heaven. Gripe: My favorite store has an ample local beer selection, but like 90% are IPA's. Pretty sure the only non-IPA's available in a case was Firestone Walker 805. The rest were in variety packs that contained at least one IPA. I have nothing against IPA's, but SoCal has such a great beer scene, it sucks that all of the shelf space is dedicated to one style of beer.
