If you live less than 150 miles from San Jose, CA, or less than 150 miles from Fall River, MA, then I judge harshly: Silva is trash linguica.

Spent one fitty on plants today. As usual at Costco, each unit was much cheaper and instead of spending less I got a lot more. I should have a pretty nice garden this year!

Their shredded cheese is awful. The most anti caking agent laden I’ve ever had.

I picked up the sliced red grapefruit cups from the refrigerated section and I am disappointed. The lovely mandarins from China are even packed in some kind of juice but these are just in syrup, which makes the fact that they're bitter even worse. And! You have to keep them in the fridge.

I was looking for the Limoncello almonds today and it looks like I missed out. I didn't buy them last time because they looked so good, and they had samples that confirmed my suspicion. Today I felt like I earned a treat and they were nowhere to be seen.

Also it seems like we are back to entire families going together and and it's clear that society is back to its baseline shittiness. Kids should be able to be involved in the shopping trip to learn the ways of the world, they don't have to be there every time. Certainly the whole famdamily doesn't have to go! Or whatever I got through it, and I went for pleasure not necessity.

Probably depends which factory it comes out of, this bag seems fine.

We don't actually get a lot of Kirkland cheese because they import it, and the locally sourced brands they have here for shredded cheese *do* have the too much potato starch problem (and are very similar to the Aldi products... ).

Something my dietician brought up those: watch out for the amount of sugar alcohols.

The fit crunch bars have 8g. If you are sensitive to those, these might trigger your sensitivity.

And even if you aren’t sensitive, amounts over 12g in a day can start to trigger digestive issues in most people.

TL;DR: don’t overdue it on the fit crunch bars

The Red’s breakfast burritos have been serving me super well, too. Could be better for you, but it moves both eggs and hot sauce into my mouth every morning expediently.

Regarding Costco breakfast options:

You can buy a giant thing of Quaker oats, dried cranberries, pepitas, honey, and cinammon and have healthy, tasty breakfasts for like.... 20 cents per meal.

oatmeal with honey, nutella, PB, and pecans or bust :colbert:

but yes these are breakgast options and usually my go-to, but oatmeal is not as fast as a protein bar or a microwave fritatta that i can eat in 30 seconds, lol

There are certain aspects of living in a pandemic that I enjoyed. Not having to elbow idiots out of the way is one of the few, particularly for me as someone who has mild social anxiety (such a polite way to say "I don't like people"!)

edit: They were out of the cinnamon butter loaf last time I went. Both sad and relieved.

i bought the cinnamon butter loaf package yesterday and i ate an entire loaf over the course of the day

i'm putting 1.5 of the remaining two in the freezer so i.. don't do that again :yum:

it was definitely a shitshow when i went yesterday at about 11:30am though. i actually had a hashtagblessed trip to Costco, like slipped right into the perfect gas lane, found parking instantaneously, food didn't take too long and they had everything that i needed (still no stroopwaffel ice cream sandwiches though!) and the only real issue was yeah, just people. my pet peeve is people just not having spatial awareness and blocking aisles/doors/whatever and costco is... not good for that, lol. gotta remember to bring my earbuds next time

I yelled at a woman a few weeks ago because she decided I wasn't far enough up in line and she literally just started hitting me in the back with her cart. Didn't even ask me to move just started hitting me. Then the cashier yelled at me because I wasn't unloading my cart fast enough. Easily my worst trip to Costco in a while

also the bags of pre-shredded rotisserie chicken were slimy and salty. I had hard time finding a way to make them yummy. Useful as a post-gym protein blast, but nevertheless blegh

They are great if you're big on soups or curries. I keep a couple in the freezer at all times just for that purpose.

We are in the midst of home renovation.

We purchased three Samsung appliances (fridge, microwave, dishwasher). Good discount. Good delivery.

We also got our new faucet on sale as well as the garbage disposal. Nice solid picks.

The only disappointment has been some under cabinet LEDs light which look great but can’t carry the signal far enough across a gap in our cabinets. Trying to think about swapping in a more powerful power adapter (since the 24 watt one doesn’t seem to have enough charge). Not sure what to do.

Ultimately, Costco has been a good partner in this process.

Tried the Del Real bean and cheese pupusas out of the refrigerator case under the logic of 'beans, cheese, and corn masa? sign me up'

Prep is easy, just heat them in a pan for 5 minutes. They're not bad, but the masa is a little bland on its own and the corn to filling ratio is skewed towards the corn a little more than I'd like. However, they're excellent bases for any additional flavor you want to throw on top. I'm sure they'd be great with salsa or thread favorite 505 for example. I'd get them again.

Apparently the best time to visit my Costco is 3:15 on a weekday afternoon, I went in and the gas line was "1 car in front of me" (nearly unprecedented) and the warehouse wasn't much more crowded.

gonna miss this when my near-infinite wfh flexibility disappears someday

I decided to try the Frontera salsa verde last time instead of refilling the 505. The frontera has the kick I need, so maybe I’ll get more 505 and mix them together
