I buy the Tillamook brand cheese snacks, individually wrapped. They're good for about 4 months in the fridge. Likely to be a regional thing for the brand, but I think all US Costcos have some kind of cheese snack.

There was a $600 at my Costco last weekend as well, the iberico. I went with the $115 5lb prime beef tenderloin for Christmas dinner - I make it as a gift to our friends every year.

To be honest, I didn't look for that on the beef tenderloin I got for Christmas. I cooked it to 135 F and we're all ok, though. I didn't take picture of this year's because I was too rushed, but I can post pictures of last year's later. I rub it with fresh cracked peppercorn and kosher salt, and do a reverse sear. It comes out amazing each time. I'm vegetarian 99.9% of the time but break it for this.

Renegret posted:My favorite sample was toothpaste. Just little cups with some toothpaste in them. I generally ignore the samples because of all of these reasons, but I would actually like a toothpaste sample because I loathe wintergreen and names like "FRIGID MINT BLAST" don't help me out with that. But gently caress all the people who park their cart sideways in the aisle opening while reaching over for samples.

Chinatown posted:my local costco has a great rotating variety of 22oz bombers of various local microbrews. its great. Not more than Seattle  and we have that too, I like how much they support the local breweries. We also have a great selection of Washington and Oregon wines, though it's to the detriment of the selection from other regions (specifically AU and SA).

meet girls at the store posted:It’s time for a new mattress (Cal king), so naturally I’m going straight to the ‘co. Does anyone have a recommendation, and has anyone done their “white glove” delivery? We bought a mattress there about 9 years ago now and it's one of the things I regret, actually. I am a ~delicate sleeper~ and the mattress became uncomfortable after about a year. They in a round about way refused to take it back. We bought a memory foam topper (at Costco) and lived with it until we could buy a new mattress. It was one of the S brand pillow top ones, that you can't flip over.

GI_Clutch posted:It was a 96 count of the Green Mountain Colombian Blend. They don't stock it at our local store, and based on the product page, I think it's online only. The last time she ordered it, it came in a much larger box. I found the packing slip just wedged between the k-cup boxes. Lucky it didn't fall out on the way, I guess. Aww, not one of my products! And it definitely looks like packaging straight from Keurig, but I bet it's the shipping company that roughed it up - I receive cases like that from Keurig all the time and they're in fine shape. Definitely let them (Keurig) know, though.

pacerhimself posted:8% should freeze, 5% beer will freeze easily. I'm not a chemistry major either but I think sugars will allow it to crystalize faster too Sugars will reduce the freezing point, making it more difficult to freeze at consumer freezer temperatures, but it'll make a nice slush at least. Even wine at ~13% abv will mostly freeze.  I'm a food scientist, and I made something similar to this in my senior design class.

Xaris posted:yeah thats how i felt. like yeah if your only other hot sauce experience is loving tabasco or something yeah sure i can see it being good It's funny you mention Secret Aardvark, because I came here to totally agree with your first paragraph about bland and not-spicy hot sauces from the Pacific Northwest, like Secret Aardvark and Bonache. They're in restaurants everywhere here in Seattle and I don't get it, they're not good.

I'm definitely not arguing that I don't like Secret Aardvark because it has no heat, but that to me it has no remarkable flavor. I re-try it every time I run into it and am confused at its popularity each time. I'm definitely a condiment person and always looking for something to add, this just isn't it. But hey, more Secret Aardvark for the rest of you!

We just left Costco, picked up some Hendricks, Angel's Envy, Tillamook cheese snacks a ridiculously fuzzy pillow, among other things. My husband got in line while I ran around and did the last few aisles. Tag-teaming Costco on a Saturday is great. No Shin ramen, but they did have birds nest soup. Oh and jamon Serrano with a stand.

Sorry to interrupt pizzachat, but Costco.com has some great prices on Becca cosmetics, for any makeup-wearing goons. Here's an example, it's about 50% less than retail price and Becca makes the best highlighters. https://www.costco.com/.product.1317137.html

Disclosure, I used to be a wet wipes flusher until people told me that I was being a gigantic rear end in a top hat, I've learned my lesson. Example of what happens: https://abcnews4.com/news/local/divers-remove-baby-wipes-from-charleston-waste-well-after-massive-backup Also I love the Charmin Soft toilet paper for my delicate ladybits, so that's what we get. But we have a small apartment and spend most of our time at the office, it seems, so we've stopped buying TP at Costco.

The Midniter posted:I've had great experiences with produce from the chilled section (mushrooms, salad greens, spinach, kale, broccoli), but pretty much universally bad experiences with produce held at room temperature aside from the tomatoes (particularly the Campari variety). I'll agree with that for the most part. Every once in a while I'll find the whole lot of broccoli florets are turning yellow/brown, I've heard before that there's sometimes temperature abuse during shipping. But if the broccoli is good, it'll last for weeks - though my husband and I can go through two of those 3lb bags in one week.

Zyrtec is the only one that works for me at this point. I tried the Kirkland generic (cetirizine), and I am a scientist and know that the active ingredient is technically the same, but it never worked as well for me as the brand name gel cap. Also remember that "-D" indicates that it has pseudoephedrine in it - likely why one would have to be purchased behind the counter. I buy pseudoephedrine separately because I usually only need the cetirizine.
