Jingleheimer posted:On a Saturday or Sunday I don't think it really matters when you go to Costco, it's going to be busy no matter what. Going right when they open is probably the best way. If you know exactly what you need and sort of know where it is, you can get it real quick and beat everyone else to the registers and not have to wait in line. And then there probably won't be a huge line to get out because most people are still trying to get in rather than out. This is a great way to not get samples.

Taima posted:3% on travel and eating out is the X factor though, I mean obviously that's still an insane total but if he's putting hella business travel and expensed meals on the card it seems at least kind of reasonable. Or just plain business expenses. Some stuff for restaurants or small offices is cheaper at Costco than the usual suppliers, that can escalate quickly.

GORDON posted:Is it possible for a two person household to go through a 25 pound bag of rice, eating it maybe twice a week, before it goes bad? You can keep (white) rice more or less indefinitely if moisture or bugs don't get in. Sealing tupperware bins work, and you can transfer a more reasonable amount to a smaller container as you use it.

Xaris posted:Nothing is exactly wrong. Costco glasses are good, good warrenty; however, their actual impact and importance has gone down over the last 10 years. They were great back in the 90s to late 00s because the competition was $400 Luxotica monopoly bullshit and getting a pair for like $150-200 was a great deal then. It's less so now because you can actually get super high quality glasses online for like <$50. Costco still has some advantages for glasses like trying them on first, or fittings (it's not hard to do yourself). If that's worth it, that's up to you to decide if the additional $$ is worth it. I personally feel like no. Glasses becoming practically disposable over the last decade has been a great innovation for those of us who are clumsy and have bad eyes.

My kid can put away an entire can of the latter in like 2 minutes so I am glad that they have them cause I'm not looking to spend 15 minutes fishing (ha) out tiny bones so they can get their sweet, sweet Omega Protein Bomb. Prepare to have your mind blown, the bones are edible.

quote:also i went at like 9:45 and was feeling pretty nausea and not having eaten anything, i got a pepperoni slice for breakfast-lunch. it was actually pretty good this time and would get it again if they were always like that. Usually I feel their pizzas end up just being way too soggy of a greasymess but the crust actual had some structure to it this time, pepperoni was nice and crispy, and cheese just didn't all slog off in a greasy cesspool but was well melted still. kinda a shame their pizza ends up being so hit or miss sometimes. I'm not too picky on the toppings, so unless there's a rush I just order the type that's not on the heating rack to get a slice fresh out of then oven. Or call ahead for a full pizza. Cheese is the best, by the way. It's no lower on calorie counts than the others, so they are throwing more on there.

EVG posted:Wow, that’s similar to I was looking at, Oahu and Kauai. But for 2 from Chicago. If you’d like to weigh in on which hotel you picked and activities were the best, I’d love the input. (ALSO how was the Costco there??). Because our 2 island trip was coming out to around 5-6k for the 2 of us, it sounds like you managed to book more cost effectively. Just to add a couple things, -The Crouching Lion trail is marked as closed, but it's really just a sign that people walk around. Gorgeous views in every direction in only a few miles if you do the loop. -If you're around Waimea Bay, stop by the beach and jump off the rock everyone is jumping off. -Try some garlicy shrimp from a food truck parked by a shrimp farm. If you're looking at Oahu the North Shore is much more of a traditional vacation spot, and you can take day trips to the city for Pearl Harbor, Waikiki, etc.

Barry posted:100% agree. I'm usually the first person to bang the drum of "fresh garlic or no garlic" and I'll still shout that from the rooftops for any "serious" cooking, but man it is so nice to have a limitless supply of minced garlic sitting around for immediate use. It's great for cooking some eggs or stir fried vegetables where I'd normally forego garlic because it takes longer to peel/mince or peel/clean the press. The convenience is nice, but I just don't trust it to be sanitary.

Pershing posted:So I finally bought a big bag of garlic from the 'Co....how should I cook this? I seem to remember somebody in the thread had a roasted garlic recipe. I'm also going to be cooking italian sausage if it helps. It's garlic, it goes in everything. But to eat it directly, cut the tops off entire heads of garlic, slicing through each clove. Drizzle on some oil, put on some salt, and bake until soft. You will be able to push the finished product out of the peel like butter.

fizzymercy posted:The healthcare workers skip the line thing is interesting. I'm supposed to be able to use my hospital ID to skip the line but I'm scared to try it cause just clean the kitchens and break areas. I'm always afraid I'll show them my ID and they'll laugh at me for being a janitor and wanting to skip the line. Also I kind of like standing in line because you really get to have fabulously weird conversations with people that way. Only assholes will begrudge you doing this.
