A few weeks ago in Costco someone's pet dog took a massive dump right in the middle of the back meat aisle. I assume service dogs are better trained and it was just someone's emotional support whatever. Pissed me off (but is also hilarious in retrospect, couldn't wait to tell my niece and nephew about it, they were giggling forever).

Currently I'm enjoying the hell out of the 5lb tubs of Adams crunchy peanut butter. I was curious so I tracked myself over the past 6 months and I'm currently killing one in just under a month average. God I love the stuff.

Definitely the salted peanut butter, and 98% of it is eaten by me. So good. I put it on bananas and shredded wheat mostly.

Do you just dip (and double dip) the bananas straight into the jar? This is a judgment-free zone, you can be honest

No, that's gross. Also a pro tip, do not use the cheap Cuisinart immersion blender Costco sells to mix your Costco peanut butter tubs. It pulverizes the nuts too much and the motor starts to smell funny after just a couple jars.

Anyone else go nuts on the City Sour sourdough bread? I love it, slathered with some Kerrygold butter, garden tomato slices, and black pepper.

I'm going to need a goddamn intervention for those thin mint pretzels. I should give away the bag for my health but I'd probably growl at someone if they tried to take them.

Whaaaat? I haven't seen those. Sounds like heaven.

Every other appliance like W/D etc. the same people who dropped off did the install, which was included. I�ve also had weird things like it took them dropping off 3 different deep freezes to get one blemish free and functional.

I bought a bunch of appliances from CC, Lowe's, etc. as part of a remodel 2 years ago and it was shocking how badly stuff gets messed up in shipping. Most were minimal enough to not be worth sending back, with the exception of the fridge. The first two were too damaged to function, the third was lots of cosmetic stuff but they didn't have any more available and just gave it to me at a massive discount.

Really liking the sweet potato crackers they started carrying a few months ago. They're awesome with hummus, bean soup, sardines, mini ham sandwiches, anything. Sometimes when I'm really high I just dip them in mayo.

Sweet potato pie is the superior version of the same vibe. Must try it if you haven't.

Squash is good too. The real important part is a flaky, buttery pastry crust though, not the crumbly dry crap you get with any store-bought pie.

my apartment has one of those in-wall electric heaters from approximately one million years ago

i only use it on nights like, well, last night.

Those awful Cadets? I lived in a rental ~15 years that had those. I woke up one night to the smoke alarm going off because the one in the living room was shooting out flames. Fortunately it didn't ignite anything else before I shut the breaker off. The repair guy said they have a failsafe mechanism that supposedly prevents that but I guess it failed too. They sucked at heating and cost a ton to run in a crappy house, even in the mild PNW.

Thanks for immersion blender help friends! I�ll check out if there�s a difference on a few models in budget for duty cycle ratings.

I killed a Nutribullet blender, which I was getting mixed up with Vitamix so this is all good to know. I do a lot with my blender (tonkotsu ramen broth, saag, and soups for meal prep). Nice to hear the cheap ones work, I�m real hard on mine.

Cheap ones work to an extent, I was using mine to mix the big Adams tubs of peanut butter and it started smelling funny in short order.

You guys were right, the Kirkland cauliflower crust pizza owns. Anyone tried the Miltons veggie version?

My wife only spent $35 yesterday. I only spent $54 the previous week, so it can be done.

Receipts or it didn't happen

Sitting in the parking lot waiting for Costco to open!!!

Misread this as 'making GBS threads in the parking lot' and lol'd / wasn't even shocked or surprised based on my Costco's demographic

I mentioned to my cashier once how aggro the parking lot got, and she said someone pulled a gun over a spot the week prior. People are crazy.

Just need to say that I think I need to stop buying the giant bags of Costco pistachios... They are just too good and I can't stop eating them

Freeze them in ziplocs, they will last forever and they taste even better frozen so you'll eat more. Thanks for the reminder that I have them, going to go eat some now.
