I think they cut down on the bun size from inflation or something though, before they were like 8 inches with a 10 inch dog, now they're probably 6 inch buns

Actually the average size has been trending smaller over time so really you were used to something abnormally, unnaturally long before ok

I also picked up those frozen Takiyaki (Japanese, filled, fish shaped waffles) as they were about $7 for the box. Tried them last night - pretty good. Vanilla tasted like pretty basic vanilla pudding, chocolate was surprisingly fudgy in a good way. The red bean paste/cinnamon felt like it was trying to strike a balance between the two and kind of missed on both as a result. Not terrible, but would have been better going in one direction I feel. The only thing was since I don't have an air fryer I had to bake them, which gave inconsistent results on crispiness for the outer waffle layer. If I can dial that in, these will be really good.

Yep, the bowls I got were 9.97 and the hose I passed on was $7.00. It ain't ever gonna be cheaper than that. If you see something you like at $x.97 buy all that you need because it won't be there next time.

I bought 10 pounds of chocolate chips about a year ago because they were marked down to $1.97 for a 2 pound bag. And these were the high dollar fancy chocolate chips, not Kirkland brand. I actually grabbed an employee to verify that the sign was correct. "The expensive ones aren't selling and we need the floor space. Buy as many bags as you want." Always look for the .97.

The nice lady who runs the bento place down the street and makes her own kimchi weekly always makes sure to ask if I really want kimchi on Sundays. "Are you sure? It's going to be ripe. I make it on Mondays." Her kimchi isn't too ripe for me, but my wife usually passes. The Jongga (with 2 'g's) is super, super mild compared to other kimchi I've had, and it's hella ripe. Pronounced fizzyness in every bite. I'm just glad the spiciness is toned down compared to my usual fare; it's going to make some great kimchi fried rice today.

What are the absolute top tier family entrees from costco? I'm married with kids and sometimes want to just take something from the freezer and put it in the oven. I love the lasagne but my wife is getting sick of it. And what are the best frozen chicken breasts/nuggets? are any of them not reconstituted meat? The Tyson ones are.

Does your store carry the ROCKY breaded chicken by petaluma poultry? I've never bought it, but I've gotten the same branded raw whole chicken from the grocery and its really good

The only thing I've outright not liked at all were the stuffed peppers, though my kid loved them

Blah, ordered tires (same size as currently on my car) but tire center isn't able to put them on due to their regulations. Very polite and nice about it, just said that because it's over what the manufacturer says is allowable they technically aren't allowed to. Dude got them refunded, reordered me a set that they can of the same tire and made sure the promo was still applied though. It's nice at least, sucked to waste the time this morning but it's not their fault that the tires that were in it were the cheapest piece of poo poo that fit. Big concern for me is just getting a good set on before winter sets in because Jesus gently caress I don't want these racing slicks on before the snow comes. The michalin cross climates have good reviews for snow traction and I'm hoping they do good this winter in the snow belt. Now just to figure out which wheel bearings shot

The Tyson panko breaded thin cut chicken breasts are not precooked, they come raw, and they're excellent. Not sure if they're reconstituted like a big raw chicken nugget but I'm not a fan of that type of meat either and these are really good. We love the fresh meat loaf/mashed potato entree in the deli section. It does take a long time to get up to temperature though, and the mashed potatoes are absolutely swimming in butter (which is why they're so good).

At ours they have big trays of butter chicken in the case with fresh caesar salad/donair/taco kits etc. Just reheat and serve and it's really good

The meat loaf and mashed potatoes have always been a hit with everyone i've ever recommended them too. Surprising, considering it's meatloaf. But it's really tasty and affordable. The other one I see recommended a lot are the street tacos, but i've never had them myself. You can always just do a rotisserie chicken and basically any other side item you find too.

Went to church over the weekend and Christmas stuff has already been rolled out. My mom is a big crafter and had a moment at the holiday ribbon endcap. I was informed that its an incredibly deal so I'm sharing it with you all. They got big fat ribbon rolls, 50 yards for only $9 each. Apparently this stuff is normally like.. $5 for 3 yards. So it's an amazing price. There's lots of patterns, real intricate stuff too.

The plastic boxes of fresh ravioli/tortellini. They come in 2 packs, one feeds 3 with reasonable portions so if you have hungry teenagers I'd just make both packs. Tonight I made the butternut squash ravioli and it was real good. Mixed it with some brown butter and sage for a 5 minute dinner.

My wife was at costco like 20 minutes after I made the post and she couldn't find meatloaf, ravioli lasagne or mac and cheese in the frozen section. She couldn't even find the evol frozen meal 4-pack we normally get. Thanks for the recommendations though, we'll look again next time.

Your first 3 are in the fresh food section (back wall in my Costco). The fresh tortellini are nearby, so are the 2-packs of flautas, which go great with some soup (chicken tortilla?).
