I have one but don't use it but their credit card is really good as well. It's like 2% back on anything Costco, possibly even on gas, and maybe 1% for everything else anywhere.

They are paying you to shop there.

It's better than that, it's like 4% on gas everywhere, 3% on restaurants, and 2% at Costco.

Got me a few things on this day of Costco.

-18 pack of mini naan for loving $3.
-8 pack of Tasty Bits Veggie Tikka Masala which I haven't tried yet.
-A whole goddamn pineapple
-Enormous rotisserie chicken for $5 to dice up for the week.
-24 pack of Spindrift Fruit Water (might be a local thing since the owner/company is right around here? I know he's national at Panera though) Stuff is just so good.

Today was my first time doggin' too. Holy gently caress. My Costco has a massive Italian sausage a lot of people were getting, if that's not at every location. I'm in NH.

Yeah I just tried that Spindrift stuff the other day and it's great, never gonna buy La Croix again. The cucumber one is good with gin, just a lil protip.

Stopped in to buy a couple bottles of wine for a gift and ended up in line behind an Asian lady who was buying 15 of each size of each product in the 32 Heat line, like 120 items, and loudly insisting that the “limit 15” applied to each barcode. She was unsuccessful. Don’t try to defraud the Costco, lady!

Costcos in Seattle sell very solid crab pots for recreational crabbing. Not the commercial Deadliest Catch kind, but a smaller version of the same design. Seriously considering picking one up, PBUC.

The best method of recreational crabbing is tying string around turkey necks, hanging them in the water off a pier, and scooping up the hungry crabs in a dip net as they latch on when you pull the turkey necks back up.

I bet you could get like 100 turkey necks for $5 at Costco.


EDIT: Hey is a laptop a good thing to buy at Costco

Regarding my taking the moldy parm back, I say that we can dump it and I will just take the container back, whereas my wife says they will think I am scamming them and we need to keep this moldy parm around and I gotta drive it to costco to hand to them during the return. They don’t give a gently caress, right? I would think they would prefer I not being moldy crud back.

My understanding is they immediately trash all the food anyone returns regardless. I bought some Hawaiian rolls for a Christmas party once, and my wife thought it was too early and they would go bad before the party. The lady told me they had to trash them if they took them back, even if they had never been opened, so I did not return them (they were fine).

I got the Serrano ham and am not impressed. Is everyone just pretending to like this poo poo? Is it an acquired taste?

Is it supposed to be...gamey? It’s got a real funk to it, like a stinky cheese. It tastes like prosciutto that’s gone bad.

Did I get a bad one, or is this what it’s supposed to be?

No, that sounds right. Iberico ham is basically like Gorgonzola ham.

In Barcelona you can buy little paper cones of ham with crunchy breadsticks to eat while you’re walking down the street so I would say cut the ham into cubes and put it in a paper cone with crunchy breadsticks
