Direct flights from Vegas mean I can have dinner here and then meet friends at the Sons of Herman before closing. It's like being next door!

Publix is fine. Most people like it mostly because it's going to be the whitest grocery store with some nice Christian whites working there. The subs are fine, the boar's head ones benefit from being boar's head but there's nothing special beyond that. They do sometimes have the best deals on meats and a better selection of mushrooms. Being able to get packages of meat split up is probably the biggest selling point. Also one of their major competitors was doing this when I was a child, which definitely helped Publix https://www.nytimes.com/1992/11/07/business/company-news-food-lion-stock-falls-after-report.html

Oh yeah I forgot, at Publix they'll give you a $10 gift certificate to get your flu shot. I took my whole family up and that's how I'm paying for my Thanksgiving prime rib. Did it last year too. Get your flu shots, dummies.

Publix is also nice by not requiring loyalty cards for the sale prices.

So I bought the whole jamon serrano from Costco the other day. I’m normally a “charcuterie last drat near forever” guy but seriously how long do you all think I can keep gnawing on this bitch if I follow the guidelines of stick “the fat back on it and drape it with a towel” method?

For jamon? I'd probably go until it's gone or I got sick. Just keep putting the fat on. e; I just looked at that deal and its actually a pretty good deal. Tempted to pick one up for the holidays now. Is it full on "need the stand to display/serve" or is it more a "ham". e; It says no bone on the description. Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaah I'm seriously considering picking this up and just sitting it on a shelf until christmas. Nephzinho fucked around with this message at 16:39 on Nov 13, 2019 |

I almost grabbed one of those at Costco yesterday then realized I, as a single dude, probably shouldn't have like six pounds of serrano sitting around for me to gorge myself on.

Can y'all post a link? I see one for $269 but last year they had a smaller one for like $99Mr. Wiggles posted:Send it to me and I'll experiment for you. For your own safety, of course. Holy poo poo, are you ok with costco if you can subvert their receipt checking? I just can't believe you of all people would accept a costco product. If you've gotten over that, go get a 1/4 plus lb hot dog and 20oz drink for $1.49, it's awesome. Croatoan fucked around with this message at 03:26 on Nov 14, 2019 |

I like Costco but after about 10 minutes in there I feel like I live in some sort of capitalist space station hell where I live work consume and excrete in the same doomed cycle day after day, my only exercise is to aimlessly wander the aisles navigating my unweildy grocery landship and my only entertainment is to see if there's a new variety of fancy nuts I will never eat five pounds of. I try to only go once a month.

All of this supermarket chat is moot because there's only one true supermarket and it's the Berkeley Bowl. I moved from the East Bay to the Peninsula a little over a year ago and it hurts to not be able to shop there regularly anymore. You can't imagine the gooseberries and the fingerling potatoes, the seasonal fresh mushrooms and the banks of bulk dried fruits. And all of the produce and bulk item prices are really good because they make money by selling piles of hippie facewash and organic paper towels to dumb older white people.

Real talk though I tried the Costco thing again when we moved from Reno to Vegas and what I discovered was that here, nobody really gives a poo poo about the receipt thing. They just swipe your receipt with a magic marker and off you go, don't even have to slow down as you meander out the door. So maybe the receipt Nazis were just a Reno thing idk but it's cool now.
