I appreciate your patience, this is a tricky maneuver

but seriously, how does one cut the line at costco gas? did he weave his way around all the lines of cars waiting?

I see people routinely hanging back so they can take any of the next pumps that open up, and they get upset if you just drive up to a particular pump and stake a place in line.

That Costco is one of the worst for lines so I’m guessing yeah? That gas station is in a terrible location for in and out too.

I bet that there's a pretty strong correlation between people's stand on Costco gas line etiquette and their stand on zipper merging.

Wow, this is completely different than what happens at my local. Everyone just gets in line and the line is usually quite long. Just today when I got gas the lines were about 4 deep in every lane. My local is one of those with only 2 pumps too. Sometimes, especially around lunch, you'll see the line stretching out into the main thoroughfare. So each lane is like, 6 deep, and then 1 longer line full of all the people waiting for spots to open up.

I don't think I've ever waited more than 4 minutes for gas at Costco, and that was a rare situation. I can usually pull right up to a pump if I time my trip for non-peak hours.

For a few weeks in July my Costco was almost 70 cents below all other competitors. It was nuts!

For me it saves a ton of money. I also don't wait in the long lines. Only waited today because I was almost on empty and had to wait around anyway. But for me, I drive a truck that holds 20 gallons and being a truck, goes through that fairly quick. I'm definitely not buying another truck in my lifetime, unless it's electric. My next vehicle is definitely gonna be electric.

Yeah for that big of savings it's worth a little wait. The Costco by me always has a gigantic line, it's nuts.

I get that costco gas is cheaper, but every time I drive past those pumps it looks like a situation that I don't need in my life.

I shotgunned a Monster once and it legit got me kinda high but it did what it needed to do. it wasn't for fun, I had to drive a lot and was falling asleep.

Here in South Texas it's about 12 cents cheaper. Only reason why I fill up there is that it's on the way to work so I can fill up on my way in to work before there's any crowds.

I've started attending church again; went on Saturday to stock up on taquitos and AmyLu chicken burgs. I grabbed the Friends Apartments LEGO set on a whim for my wife, it was $20 cheaper than anywhere else. Guy in front of me in the checkout line was buying an 86" LG 4k UHD tv. I peeped his total: $1597.

They were giving away a variety of the Monster drinks at a music festival I went to recently, one of which was Peach. It was surprisingly bearable but had that super artificial tanginess to it. One was ok, never need another though.

Our Costco usually charges 30 to 40 cents less per gallon of gas than any other gas station in the area, so everyone buys gas at Costco and the lines get very long. But when there are 10 lanes with 2 pumps each the wait isn't bad at all. The longest I've waited is maybe 10 minutes but usually it's only 2-3

Depends on when you bought it. Believe it's within 30 days for price mark downs.

The real kicker is: you can just return it and rebuy it at the cheaper price. Why Costco doesn't recognize that little exploit and just do the obvious, i'll never know.

Even better, buy another one and walk out the door and return it with the old receipt. It'll go right back on the shelf. If you don't have the physical receipt the app will show your old receipts now.

Has anyone had the Victorias White Linen Sauce or Marinara? It’s on sale this month and while I’m not sure if my local has it, I was thinking of picking some up on my next trip.

It can’t be anywhere near as good as Raos, which is the best god drat tomato sauce in the world.

We bought some of the Marinara today while at church. We'll probably try it this weekend. Trying to find alternatives to Rao's when it's not on sale, my kids love Rao's, but drat it's expensive. It's worth it though.
