Went to the Co today. I don't go hard like some of you goons so I only got 3 things: Cereve lotion and Systane eye drops for the fiancé and daily vitamins for me.

:effort:

That is some premium lotion for my big goony body.

Rip your Cali gas prices. Here in the shithole Midwest premium is $2.79 at the Co

Tiny homes are proof my generation got hosed.

(I own a (small) home, 100% due to getting a ton of money for being a hosed over vet).

I was forced to buy one from the food stand instead

But the foodsaver and put them in the freezer. I mean that’s pretty much the costcode, right?

I will probably never own a home unless I can somehow finagle my way into inheriting my childhood home (doubtful) and every day I become more resigned ok with it

What do people use them for that isn’t meat? We have one, but don’t eat meat. So the only thing it ever gets used for is in the fall when I batch sauté wild mushrooms for storage. Otherwise it just sits there...

You can just pop em in a pan of boiling water , turn off the burner and let them sit for 10 minutes and have the full Costco dog experience. They don’t grill them so why should you!

Marinated tofu, cooked and portioned vegetables, cooked and portioned mains, cooked rice, sliced and macerated fruit, cheeses, blanched seasonal produce I don't want to waste, homemade popscicles.

That's what I have in my freezer right now that I sealed in my foodsaver. Freeze anything that's liquidy before you seal it and you can use it for pretty much anything.

I use it to break down dry goods into smaller portions and save the rest, flour, oats, and sugar. Coffee beans, I only keep a weeks worth of beans out, and seal the rest, like opening a new bag of coffee every week. I've got a couple of bags of frozen Roma tomatoes in the freezer, from that giant 6lb can. The uses are endless.

Others have chimed in, but I also use my vacuum sealer when I buy the 2-pack of 6 muffins. I freeze them immediately, and then seal them up in 2-packs. This means I don't need to eat twelve 800 calorie muffins in 4 days. Even a month later, when they defrost they'll be soft and fresh.

Also I seal up the homemade jalapeno poppers (peppers from my garden, of course).

A note of warning: They do not take long enough to defrost to keep you from eating three muffins in one drat day.

The corn muffins in particular are crack if you toast it in a pan with butter.

A defrosting muffin will also cut a lot cleaner.

I went to Costco to snag noise canceling Skullcandy bluetooth headphones to replace my wired ones that died after 13 years.

I almost left with only those, but like a good churchgoer I had to give the proper tithing. Went back and I grabbed several bags of almonds and pistachios, some 32 below boxer briefs, 7 pounds of ground beef, and new electric toothbrushes for me and my husband.

PBUC indeed
