binge crotching posted:They do, I've used my US membership at every Costco country except China and Iceland, because I haven't been back to either for work since they opened. I was going to add that the UK Costco only takes American Express, but they just recently changed their policy and they take Visa, MasterCard and Maestro now too  . If we ever get back to the UK we won't have to pull cash out of the ATM to buy cases of chocolate (for some reason the till wasn't taking our debit card, either).

FogHelmut posted:everyone is buying toilet paper and paper towels and the gas line is longer than rush hour. Do these maniacs really think antifa is going to come to the suburbs and take their toilet paper? Possibly. We went to ours this morning shortly after opening and the queue for the staffed registers was almost as busy as a weekend. Hardly anyone waiting for the self checkout though.

Ours has samples but they aren't actually giving anything out, so there'll be an employee with a forbidden bowl of tortellini like some kind of food museum display.

The Midniter posted:I was looking to pick up a pack of Caribbean Food Delights Spicy Beef Patties to replenish my stock when I hit Costco this past weekend, and was crestfallen that they were nowhere to be found. Can anyone let me know if they're still available locally? They've been coming in and out of stock at our local one (DC Metro area) for the past couple months now. One trip they won't have them, then in another week or two they're back. Just seems to be luck of the draw.

Not only that, if you go to the product page it has to be both specially shipped and assembled because it's two packages with a combined weight of 1600 pounds.

I held out on buying the giant bag of Jacquot chocolate eggs until they were on clearance for something like 7.97 and dang. That's a pretty good chocolate egg right there.

I don't remember if the cold brew cans say to dilute but they have like 225mg caffeine in each so I definitely have to cut it with something because my tolerance isn't that high. I know some people go through that like nothing though, but they're definitely very harsh tasting if you try and drink it straight.

For pet food in general, manufacturing, warehouse, and distribution have all been rocked by covid. Like, a few months ago a bag of cat food (not costco related) I ordered got put on a truck and loving driven cross country when normally it would've been sent from a closer warehouse or at least probably put on a plane.

Adding my praise for the boba ice milk bars, I've never had them before and they're really good. Sweet without being cloying and I like the chewy boba as a way to break up the ice milk texture. My costco also had giant sized bags of the Mrs Vickie's jalapeno kettle chips, my favorite kind of chip so I'm set on snacks for awhile  .

They must be targeting local businesses or something in my area, because our regular Costco has had whole frozen lamb (I think, it might've been goat) and huge boxes of cubed goat meat. When I pointed it out to my partner, a guy leaned over to me and said very excitedly "And they're halal, too, that's important!"

Yeah, more than likely that's a big draw. They've had them in the freezer since way before Easter, though, it gives me the impression it's going to be a more or less permanent product of our store.

These ham and cheese croissant / danish things they got in the bakery section aren't half bad. I can't imagine eating one for breakfast, but it was a good lunch.

CaptainCrunch posted:I noticed my church has a fat pack of chicken meat pulled from not-sold-in-time rotisserie chickens for like, $12. For already cooked, shredded chicken breast it's probably pretty good cost-wise. I'd bet it freezes pretty decently if you separate it out into manageable portions. For my money, you can't beat the containers of 8 rotisserie chicken quarters they sell for 5 buckaroonies, though.

Yeah, I have the best luck if I've gone around opening time on a weekday, like Tue-Wed-Thu. They don't have many and not all the time but they keep them with the packs of breast meat, the big premade salads, the ribs, that kinda stuff.

I get gas at our Costco because every other gas station in my area that's a comparable price has the worst designs and I always feel like I'm risking life, limb, and dents fueling up. More gas stations in general should be one-way instead of a concrete pad stamped into a lot off the highway with two-to-four different side streets all connected to it  .

LadyPictureShow posted:We saw kulfi bars at a Costco, but didn't buy them because it was a bit of a madhouse so we cut our losses and decided to come back another time (clearly, the 'best' time to go to our nearest Costco isn't a universal). Has anybody tried those? fizzymercury posted:I was super disappointed in the kulfi bars. They're tiny and not very creamy or flavorful. I didn't think they'd be much like real kulfi and I was still let down by them. They're much more ice milk textured than the boba bars, a little like a popsicle. The flavors are mild, but I remember liking the cardamom the best. I definitely wanted the pistachio to be a bit stronger but I'd eat pistachios by the bagful. They're also pretty tiny, if I remember right. We finished the box, but didn't replace it when it was gone. I didn't hate them, but ultimately they weren't really to my tastes.

Taima posted:By the way, I noticed that they now sell an 8 pack of chicken legs for $4.99. How long as this been going on?!?! That is an utterly fantastic deal that even surpasses the almost mythical properties of the whole rotisserie chicken itself. Depends on a lot of factors like time of day, day of the week, etc. I see them more often than not at my local store on Tuesdays or Wednesdays right around opening.
