The Costco hot dog combo has been that price since 1985. Which means it's an incredible deal now, but maybe not so much when it was $3.53 cents adjusted for inflation.

Rick posted:This might be what has to happen. It's not a great value proposition for me for groceries as a single person but I guess maybe if I am getting other things too. It’s pretty great as a single person. I get about a 6 month supply of mouthwash, tissues, paper towels, etc. in one shot. Food staples are insanely cheap. If you plan ahead it’s great. And Costco business centers are where the real deal-heads go. E: You could also just have someone buy you a gift card if you just want to stock up on staples. Or in most states the pharmacy and gas stations are required to be open to anyone, not just members.

I'm thinking that when I move out of my apartment into an actually townhouse (SOOOON) me and the better half will hit a costco and spend a bunch to stock up now that we will actually have storage space!

Haifisch posted:Some of their products are things you can't easily find(or find at all) elsewhere, too. Even food brands you recognize might be a nicer variation of what you'd find in a regular grocery store. Also their toilet paper rules and makes non-Kirkland TP seem like a ripoff. Sez you, I constantly have minor aches and pains. The best deal at Costco is their rum which is like $14/handle and 86 proof.

Oh man, if your Costco has a liquor store you can buy so much quality booze for cheap. Not all of them have liquor shops, but driving out of your way to a location that does is totally worth the gas.

In some states you don't even need a membership to buy alcohol at Costco. It's nice getting huge booze discounts without paying for a Costco card.

A year's worth for like $13. Buying a year's worth at Walgreens/CVS will cost ya more than the $13 + $60 membership.

The K-Mart near me finally shut down, but wound up taking several other businesses with it; there's been a huge push to redevelop every possible plot of commercial-zoned land here lately, and the enormous plot the plaza sits on is right off a pretty major intersection. One of the affected businesses was a lovely indoor mini-golf course that put up ridiculous passive-aggressive "WE'VE BEEN EVICTED WOE IS US" posters in their windows; I'm willing to bet they just didn't get their lease renewed like everyone else. The same people also owned an awful year-round haunted house (why?) and were making whinging noises about how it will close forever, boo hoo. Really the only places anyone will miss are the Indian restaurant and the sort-of Irish-themed bar, but they seem to both just be relocating, and it's probably for the best as they were both looking pretty drat crusty as of late. It'll probably all just become another hastily-constructed California-style outdoor mall thing; I have no idea why that's so popular in a place as cold and wet as Oregon.
