Toast the pumps for a little while on the bottom. Maybe use some butter in the pan. Helps tremendously

Naw it's the same poo poo you get in the stores. The problem with the Pumpkin Pies is there's so many places they can go wrong that you're pretty much always going to gently caress them up.

1.They're bland, like all costco freshfare they're just made to be plain. The ingredients are literally Pie mix, Pumpkin, water, Cornstarch, and Eggs.

5. We need to raise the drat price

This is great to know, thanks. Those pies are so bad lol

I dunno, I guess the Orem Costco has properly prepared ones, and they are delicious. Moreso after eating a slice (1/4 of the pie in a sitting) it doesn't feel like you just ate a bag of cement. Unlike the tuxedo mouse cakes.

gently caress the pie haters.

Tried out a wedge of that Kingdom aged cheddar which was discounted. Pretty tasty. A relatively strong cheese.

I don't like it when you're watching me eat.
Visited earlier this week, was able to pick up two bags of pitas. I did find the 505s, thanks everyone.

They were either out of, or stopped carrying 18 packs of chewing gum, which is OK, I guess. I seem to recall when my local opened they had a few different brands of multi-pack, and then a year or two ago it became just the one, and now it's 0. I wouldn't be too surprised if it was temporarily taken away to make room for Halloween stuff.

For holiday baking I need to be sure to stock up on butter, because the church is selling it for about half what the local grocery charges for name brand.

I love the pumpkin pies, way way too much. Tastes vary, I don't care for the warm spices in most other punkin pies. I eat it with plain nonfat Greek yogurt on top

Straight to my rear end mmmm

the mom and pop shops in my neighborhood very clearly resell kirkland items and other brands that are always found at costco. iirc costco was originally founded to sell to small businesses after all thanks costco.

Yep, if I’m away from home I’ll routinely buy the cold brews from the corner store. And I’ve seen the guy from my closest tobacco store getting his wholesale cigarettes there from the secret checkout next to the hearing aids! I’ve also noticed a lot of copacking around town, eg Trader Joe’s and CVS both sell the peanut butter pretzels.

Does anyone know if the opticians will do glasses adjustments on glasses not from Costco? Mine got a little bent up and I’m not sure where to get them fixed since I got them online.

If you have a business center Costco near you, they always have gum and candy packaged for individual resale. If you haven't been to a business center Costco before, I would definitely recommend checking it out at least once, the differences are pretty cool. And your normal Costco membership works there too, so don't worry about that.

Woman in front of me at checkout was cashing out $550+ of executive rewards, respect.

They were full court press today, people guiding to open checkouts and dual exit receipt lines. In and out in ~20 mins, helped that I knew where most stuff I needed was.

Went to Costco for the first time in two months. Restocked tofu, salsa, soy milk and kimchi (jongga with 2 g's it course) as well as other miscellaneous things.

Grabbed the dark chocolate covered mango on a whim. I am trying to stop myself from eating them all tonight.

It is an experience.

I’m always surprised by its size upon receipt.

Then I’m always left wanting more after finishing.

I do always have the burps afterwards. Hot doggy burps.
