naem posted:i’m enough of a cheese snob i’d want to pick out my own cheese for cheese plate Trader Joes has a great selection of a varierty of hq cheese (that comes and goes sadly, sometimes they have neater interesting stuff and then discontinue it ) for cheap if you want to put a platter out with a lot of different cheeses, but not have like an entire wheel of it still left over. Costco often has some good and unique ones, but some of them are big and they come and go: like they used to really good haberno cheeses and black diamond cheddar stuff, some amazing smoked gouda, but it seems to be gone at the moment. At least they consistency have good brie

Dunno if Costco still sells this pack, but we've bought it before, and it was good

Xaris posted:yeah pretty much and probably cheaper to diy since its so piss easy to put out some cheese on a board that theres no value in buying a pre-decided flight of cheeses. TJs double cream gouda and their $6 chianti for the loving win. I'm drunk right now and really regretting that I don't have any double cream gouda. Yes, I AM fat, why do you ask?

I don't think i've ever actually bought the cheese, i always roll with the combo. yeah the, the whole $9.99 pizza has 1.5 lbs of cheese. i actually think cheese is their best pizza, the pepperoni is just some gross greasy cesspool that slides right off in some cheesy meaty raft of grease the moment you pick it up. i noticed there seems to be huge variations in cooking. if its actually cooked long enough where its a delicious browned cheese with crispy pepperoni that has curled upwards and the crust is cooked through and more solid, its great. but seems like they rush the cooking just a little too short and it's always a tad into disappointing territory--and overall a little overrated but fine enough in a pizza pinch.

So maybe 2 months ago I signed up for Costco and got the credit card Good: Hot dogs Pizza insanely good and big for just $10 $120 executive membership but got $60 gift card and if I don’t get $60 in cash back on credit card in a year they give me the difference so it’s basically free first year Gas super cheap Staff really happy and friendly Feel like a upper middle class person shopping there Cookies, muffins, cakes and cheesecakes Normandy and chicken breasts for lunch and dinner saves me money and is healthy and yummy Bad: Insane amount of mega ultra fat people everywhere Sometimes can’t justify or finish eating huge stuff like massive peanut butter tubs or 4lbs of cherries in one go Soda and some produce is more expensive there Jim Sinegal retired so I doubt I’ll get to shake his hand Only air conditioner they had was a $400 one All in all, A+ choice for the gas price and rewards alone, rest is just bonus

This is a crime against proper cheese packaging. There is no way this cheese tastes good or like it is even supposed to. Also those are probably $4-6 pieces of cheese so you aren’t even saving much money compared to, say, picking out freshly cut cheeses that you like with a cheesemonger at Whole Foods. (Which is my job and I love it a lot and I WILL fight you about cheese.)

yeah I like cheese but I've always passed that item mostly because of the packaging. It just feels wrong. Also most cheese I buy at costco ends up getting thrown out because we don't eat it fast enough.

I will buy that cheese flight because I can’t be arsed to spend 20 minutes with a cheese mongrel picking things out. And it’s Costco so it is probably pretty good stuff.

How often does Costco rotate its inventory? I could have sworn they used to carry the exact brand of flea/tick and heartworm pills for our pup, but that doesn't appear to be the case anymore.

I could have sworn they used to carry the exact brand of flea/tick and heartworm pills for our pup, but that doesn't appear to be the case anymore. Products disappear from stores fairly constantly. If you keep your eyes open you'll see lots of items with asterisks on the price tags which indicates they will not be restocked. Not sure if this is helpful, but a quick search popped up these two pages. If you have an item number you can call a local warehouse and they can check if they stock it or if any other stores in the area stock it. https://www.costco.com/pharmacy/pet-medications.html https://www.costco.com/Heartgard-Plus.product.100143718.html

If they don't have it on the floor, sometimes they keep it behind the pharmacy counter. Maybe ask the pharmacy people if they have it.

DELETE CASCADE posted:can you guys cut the cheese pieces smaller so i can try a new cheese for less than $15 thank you Our target cheese cost is $5-7 per chunk, so IDK what is up at your store. Also, you can literally try any cheese you want. It’s our job to get the cheese into your mouth. Also at my WF we have an “under $5” bin which we fill daily with an assortment of whatever we cut. Sounds like you maybe need a better run WF specialty department!
