BigPaddy: Jun 30, 2008; That night we performed the rite and opened the gate.
Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.

Walked out with $306 just now :v:

restock after being away for a week.

From a long time ago.....

quote:

The article recounts a time when Jelinek approached Costco co-founder and former CEO Jim Sinegal. He told him the company was losing money over the iconic food item.

�I came to (Sinegal) once and I said, �Jim, we can�t sell this hot dog for a buck fifty,� Jelinek said, according to the Mental Floss article, which cites 425Business. �We are losing our rear ends.� And he said, �If you raise (the price of the) effing hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out.� That�s all I really needed.�

Anyone try the plastic 10 foot kayak? it's $368! (I just went kayak in class 1 and 2 rapids in a blow up kayak that needed more air, would not recommend).

Dammit. Phone posting gets me every time.

Lorissa's Kitchen Original Tender Beef Steak Strips are good. Great texture, intense beefy flavor, mildly seasoned, small hint of smoke. Top tier beef jerky for me, but you might be expecting more salt.

Also, again just want to reiterate that biltong sucks.

I don't understand customer service some times.

I had a 65" tv delivered by Costco June 10th. It's great. I love it.

Yesterday they started offering a $150 costco card with purchase of said TV.

Since I'm 3 days PAST the 30-day price match, they won't honor it.

However, they will let me return the TV, come pick it up from my house, and deliver a new one with the costco cash card.

Why go to the trouble of getting a policy exemption when you can just make another department pointlessly eat hundreds in costs???

Sorry that sucks, but thanks for the heads up.

Going to Costco today to price match that.

Just picked up a bag last week, good price on sale. I don't think I'd call it top tier jerky, but it's pretty good.

I love this time year at Costco just for the amazing deals you can get on fruits and vegetables. Strawberries are $2.50 for 2lbs. At my local supermarket, even on sale and nearly half off, 3lbs would be $10.

Also they finally got the big bags of Chili pistachios back in stock and I'm considering stocking up for the winter.
