I always just assumed Kirkland is their private-label brand, AKA they don't actually make anything, just rebrand other stuff, so I wouldn't be surprised if the Kirkland kosher hot dogs come from the same factory as actual Hebrew Nationals.

Off the top of my head, a couple of the Kirkland beers are actually brewed by the same company that makes Saranac. I know that at Trader Joe's, their hard cider is brewed by Woodchuck.

No they actually bought a hot dog plnt so they wouldn't get chiseled

Went this morning and filled up the gas tank. Went inside and got laundry detergent, a new bike helmet for my new mountain bike ($25!) and a few good 32oz bottles of craft beer and a hallway rug/runner.

Also took a piss in the newly remodeled bathrooms. They have the urinals that go all the way to the floor, which is the best type of urinal. Thanks Costco!

I like the big trough for washing your hands in and peeing in. It's a good idea

Called Costco corporate, who are amazing, natch. It seems only one Costco near me sells the beer, def taking a tour of it this weekend. Gonna walk out with some Kirkland signature light beer, a rotisserie chicken and a big honking hot dog.

I called them once asking about a rug and not only did they know how many were in stock, but they could name the colors that were left

Meydey posted:

Costco essentially provides consistent pricing on bulk sized quantities of product. Some are higher than a general grocery store, and some come in lower. Where Costco shines is the fact that 99% of the items are a known quality, with less mystery brands (store/cheap). Kirkland Signature is considered one of the highest quality store brands, and multiple products have been verified to have been produced by known brand names. Add in the unconditional 100% return policy (minus electronics, but at at 90 days is still better than most retail) and the value is there. Yes you drop $200-400 each trip easily, but at least the stuff you get is quality.

Plus a dog on the way out.

Also it might not always be the best deal, but it's never a bad deal.

Good news though is my trip owned otherwise and I got so much quality poo poo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Costco has good stuff but as a 2-person household the only things we can get are toilet paper and frozen pizza, any meat or produce is like 10 pounds or more and would have to be frozen or we'd get sick of it.

$5 rotisserie chickens tho, god drat.

It's good for throwing parties, they have local beers in bulk (Sam's Club has gently caress off Anheiser brands) and lots of party foods.

If you're only cooking for two you should probably just be buying frozen vegetables anyway.

Does Costco sell a hand truck / dolly that has 4 wheels? I remember the other day when I was there that there was a hand truck but I didn't look at it carefully, and I need one now -- specifically one of the kinds that both goes upright and lies flat.

Sorry, it's kind of a long drive for me.
