After 12 years of using a good enough carbon steel Wolfgang Puck infomercial set of knives and various Victorinox fibrox knives, all of which I kept reasonably sharp, I don't regret my $400 Henckels Zwilling Pro set I bought at Costco one bit. Really though, the Victorinox Fibrox are very good for the price, much better than the look of their handle suggests. Go to the kitchen knife thread if you want to get recommended Fibrox or read endless discussion of nerds debating which ultra-niche Japanese knife to buy.

I'm getting depressed putting out new pallets of them, throwing all the leftover Chewbacca ones in, and then seeing everyone still just dug for baby yoda again. I bought a Chewbacca and a Baby Yoda. My 4 year old claimed the Chewbacca and said his 9-month old brother could have Baby Yoda. Kid has Chewbacca pajamas, Chewbacca bedsheets, Chewbacca action figures, Chewbacca you name it. FCKGW posted:Bought a car with the Costco auto program. Filled out a form, dealer sent me a breakdown with a fair price in about 10 minutes. Called for an appointment, went in and signed some paperwork and got a new car. Which make? I've found the fairness of the price to vary based on brand. I've got a few quotes from them over the years but never bought.

The brown bag is good. It opens very easily along the seam into a flat plate to eat your dog. You will have to remove it to add condiments though, I get that.

Dunno, a pack of steaks lasts me two months. A pork loin longer than that. Still on the fence. I bought it anyway because it's on sale now. I'll decide to return it or not.

Geodude posted:What would be the recommended tequila of choice at Costco if we're only making margaritas with it? Any basic 100% agave tequila is fine for mixing, like a Kirkland Signature Silver tequila. Anything more expensive will be lost in the mix. Whether or not you go Reposado or Anejo is up to you, but most would use a Blanco for margaritas.

Costco has these $15 organic grass fed polish dogs in the fridge section near the good cheese, and I'm not going to spend $15 on that, but I know someone who did, and they're really good. I hope they keep buying them and sharing with me.

I got the Louisiana pellet grill from Costco two years ago. It works fine, but it's painted instead of powder coated like the Traeger. It's cheaper than the Traeger in a lot of ways actually. A lot of the paint flakes off in hot spots. The Rust-Oleum grill paint I've touched it up with has held up better. Anyway, my beard trimmer finally died. Is the one at Costco (I assume they sell one) any good?

Pershing posted:They have a newer model of the Norelco I got last Christmas so I can't say directly. When I was shopping, however, the value of the Costco version was the extra stuff you get with it like replacement blades, an adjustable guard, etc. I picked it up. So many pieces. Seems good quality. 6 hour run time on a full charge! Very heavy, though I understand that the weight is a sign of reliability.

norp posted:Where I'm from that price (the $16/lb) will get you Scotch fillet or better 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.

The whole dungeness is a good price. They've only had clusters lately though and only in gigantic packages. I'm not a huge crab leg person though. I'll eat them at the casino buffet, but not going out of my way to buy them.
