binge crotching posted:I usually tell people that because it's the only way to get them to not put that nasty rear end poo poo on food. you're a dick if you do this. restaurants take allergies seriously, and take many steps to avoid cross contamination in the kitchen. you're giving them extra work for no reason, since they would be happy to just leave it off without having to use the special cutting boards, knives, change gloves again, etc.

BeastOfExmoor posted:Costco is kind of a mixed bag. Pricing on certain things is excellent and it makes complete sense. If you can store a chunk of paper towels or toilet paper you probably will never beat their deals. Other stuff, not so much. Electronics are all over the place. If you hunt around for a deal you can almost always beat their TV prices, for instance. The grocery thing depends on the area, I think. There's a lot of grocery store competition where I am, so I get a lot of food cheaper shopping ads (or just at one particular giant local store) than I do at Sam's or Costco. For example, I'm on the watch for cheap potato chips right now because of a tailgate for 50 people I'm doing in May. Chips at Sam's (I have a membership at both Sam's and Costco, but Sam's is more convenient) are 23 cents/ounce, but a sale at the grocery store last week was 19 cents/ounce. On the other hand, tortilla chips are way cheaper in a big box at Sam's than I've ever seen at a regular store. tl;dr you can find cheaper grocery stuff than Costco or Sam's, but it takes effort/time/inconvenience

ArbitraryC posted:This is p wrong unless your only shopping options are the more expensive grocery chains. Fresh produce is cheaper almost anywhere other than costco for fruit/veg/poultry/pork. Costco is super good on dairy and has a better bargain for high quality beef but unless you're living off frozen and snack foods it's prolly not gonna cut your food budget. I enjoy shopping for deals so I'm fairly in tune with prices for my area and even without weekly ads/coupons you can get way better deals on most food staples just by default at a winco or such and if you do just shop weekly with ads even the pricier chains like safeway will beat it. Foodwise costco is great on dairy, processed foods, and more expensive items but you'd be better off buying your weekly staples elsewhere unless you're super into individually packaged organic non gmo branded stuff. I'm not sure what you're saying is pretty wrong since we pretty much agree? you can get most stuff cheaper at regular stores, it sometimes just takes time and ad watching. that's what many people don't want to spend the effort doing so they just default to costco and think it's the greatest/cheapest

I regularly buy avocados for 50 cents each at national stores like Fresh Thyme. They're almost always $1 or less at bigger/not fancy rear end local groceries. And always about 50 cents at Mexican groceries. It's almost as if proximity to Mexico isn't the only factor determining price for avocados Crusty Nutsack fucked around with this message at 00:12 on Nov 3, 2021 |

They have self checkouts at Sam's here and they're amazing because it's a cordless scanner gun thing so you just stack everything in your cart with the UPC out and scan everything super quick. There's always like 4 self checkout lanes empty, too. Is that how Costco's are? Ours doesn't have them yet.

I live in a city of 100,000+. There's one downtown and one in Tosa. Outpost is better, the local co-op with a few locations that's been around since hippie days I think. Plus there's places like Pete's Fruit Market, Cermak, Tropic Banana, Woodman's, and Fresh Thyme that are all cheaper and better in some regards. There's a lot of grocery competition here.

Trastion posted:Anyone ever get the Crab Legs or Dungeness Crabs from the little seafood stand? do NOT heat them with an immersion circulator. presumably you'd be thinking of just putting them in the water without a bag, because I'm not really sure how you'd vacuum seal sharp pointy crab legs, and you do not want bits of shell or crab or seasoning or anything else circulating through your heating element just steam them in a big pot with an inch or two of water in the bottom. they're already cooked so there's no real benefit to sous-vide here anyway

Hungarians, polish, Italians, etc are definitely not labeled as brats anywhere.

david_a posted:Smart move IMO, even at CostCo prices Macallan is overpriced ($200+ for the 18 LOL). They’ve dramatically increased their prices over the last ten years, I guess mainly due to name recognition. Aberlour is pretty similar for much much less. Haven’t even seen that at CostCo, but sometimes they have Balvenie which is also very nice and slightly less overpriced the 1.75 was $129. I'm not even remotely a scotch expert, I just know I've had macallan and like it

Costco's rotisserie chickens are great because they're the biggest you can find for the price. there's a fancy rear end grocery store here that uses fancy rear end chickens for theirs and they taste so much better, like actual chicken instead of just brine. they're also $8 normally and are smaller because they're not pumped full of dugs. there's entire websites and cookbooks dedicated to what to do with rotisserie chickens. I like quesadillas as one of the fastest of the Mexican things. Sometimes I'll make tortilla pizzas with buffalo or barbecue sauce, chicken, cheese and whatever else you want. Buffalo chicken wraps are good too. More complicated things: poppyseed chicken, chicken tetrazzini, Mexican chicken soup, marsala pasta, banh mi always use the carcass to make stock because you can make delicious soup like avgolemono, creamy chicken wild rice, chicken and dumplings, etc etc

canyoneer posted:One of the Cos near me piloted a self scanner thing for a bit. You get a handheld scanner, and scan your item as you put it into your cart. At the end there's a special register you walk up to, they take your scanner and payment, count your items, and send you on your way. Sam's Club has a thing where you scan and pay with your app. so you scan the barcodes on your phone as you put the stuff in your cart, and then pay through the app. you show your receipt on your phone on the way out. it's loving amazing, honestly. you essentially just put things in your cart and walk out.
