Converted to the faith last week. Wasn't going to buy anything (the cupboards are full) but ended up walking out with a pressure cooker, towels, salt beef brisket, and a 6 pack of malbec. Need to find somewhere in my flat to hide a chest freezer, then return.

Went to church today. Instapots £10 off the already cheap 'co price, bought one last month so I bought one for a buddy. Also bought a bunch of nappies for a baby I don't have yet as they were cheap. But I think I only got discounted on one box. Not both, need to ring them up and see why. Had a dog for the first time. drat. But the pepperoni slice, even better. Dog needs more onions. There's no onion bucket in the UK.

What's the deal with all the coats at the co? They're all ladies. The wife got a nice Kirkland one, and now I want one. Just not in the ladies cut. Literally all the coats in the shop were ladies. Not a men's rack to be seen.

uli2000 posted:Ill be in London next month and gonna hit up the 'Co up near Wembley (since it's the only one remotely close to a Tube station) to expand my Costco culinary horizons with a shepard's pie and a jacket potato. Enjoy the walk from Wembley or Neasden and saviour everything suburban London has to offer. Or catch an Uber from the station... I’d get an Uber.

Phylodox posted:Yesterday I bought one of the Queen size plush blankets and it absolutely blows the Sherpa away. It says Queen size, but the loving thing dwarfs my Queen size bed. It’s super warm, but it breathes, so you don’t get all sweaty and gross underneath it. I had so much trouble getting out of bed this morning, I just wanted to live underneath that blanket forever. The Kirkland brand blankets? I got one of those before reading about the Sherpa. Can concur it is huge, It dwarfs my super king bed and weighs more than my 13tog duvet. It is the best. The wife is pregnant so is constantly hot and needs the fan on, and sleeps without any sheets. I sleep with the blanket folded over double and then another blanket on top.

My car is broken, my wife just had a baby, and I can’t drive. The £1.50 dog with free refill is just out of reach. But not all is lost. My buddy got a letter in the post inviting him to join the church, despite not being eligible for membership. He’s bringing me a Kirkland wedge of Romano cheese as a Christmas present and has offered to take me to the Co in the ny. PBUC. The lord works in mysterious ways. Now if only the co could fix my car, make the kid independent, and get me a drivers license.

Friend got me a jug of the Kirkland premixed margarita. Not bad at all. Little tequila taste, lemony, and undertones of orange. Not just alcoholic lime juice like you get at some bars. Poured myself a pint glass of it thinking it’d be weak, turns out it’s 17%. Had to sneak into bed a little more tipsy than intended, not meant to be getting drunk with the newborn around.

Took the new car to church today with the new baby. Baby fuckin loves the co. All smiles all the time. Had a slice, dog and chicken bake between the mrs and I. Chicken bake is pretty good. Foot long, full of meat and cheese, perfect for a hangover.

Harton posted:Margarita is good but it can get problematic quickly. Once you hit the stage where your not pouring drinks anymore and just sucking it out of the bottle your gonna be waking up with some headaches. It’s a double edged sword. I had a poo poo day doing interviews on Friday, came home and was able to immediately have a pint of perfectly mixed drink before I even had time to put my keys down. But yes, one pint lead to the next, and its 12% and Saturday was not fun.

I live close to both Costco Wembley and Costco Watford (UK). Today I went to Watford. Holy poo poo. Watford is a loving mad max post apocalyptic hellscape where anybody under the age of 50 has died. It’s a little bigger than Wembley, but has five times the people, who are all poo poo at trolleys, and get lovely at the staff when their trolleys get moved. And this is early morning on Friday. Hate to see it on the weekends. Wembley on the other hand has been nice. Not too busy, pleasant customers. Still haven’t found the Kirkland peanut butter pretzel things at either, starting to think they’ve been banned from our shores. Also can’t find the hot dogs. Saw them once but never again. Also, got some Kirkland glasses. Very nice, very cheap.

Meydey posted:When I was visiting the UK last October we went to the Reading Costco. It seemed very low key and relaxed. It’s a baked potato, with tuna? I have no idea why but this country thinks that’s a meal. Actually, anything on a baked potato is a meal.

Does the co publish nutritional information on their products? There’s none on the packaging of any of their prepared in store food, and no signage in the food court. I know 1.5kg of lasagna is making me fat, I just want to know how fat

I took two of the large contigo insulated bottles to Singapore earlier this year. Would get the hotel bar to fill them with ice and water in the morning, and they’d be barely drinkable in the evening as it was still that cold. Which was great. Sensitive teeth be damned. I’d take dry ice intravenously if it would cool me down there.

The church failed me this weekend. I ripped a tyre open last week when I pinched a loose screw between the tyre and kerb. Ordered a set of replacement rear wheels online to get fitted a week later on good Friday and they never arrived. Had to come in and sit in a queue like a pleb getting whatever they had in stock fitted. The whole Costco online thing seems very half baked.

Got a 2.7kg topside for 4 people tomorrow. regretting not getting a rib roast. Live and learn. tangy yet delightful posted:Decided to try the boneless lamb leg for xmas this year. Gonna sous vide it so I can oven cook the sides (Brussels sprouts and potatoes - not cooked together). Pretty excited but I was perhaps more excited to be at Costco without a cart on such a packed day. Parked on the side of the building and was in/out in 10 minutes. In my experience, Lamb does not vizzle well. Amps up the funk factor by 100. Nfcknblvbl posted:Electric is the way, man. I wonder how long it’ll take until Costco starts installing DC fast chargers on site. Wembley (UK) has a load. Never seen them used.
