I’m at my car brand service center but I’m close to a Costco. I’ve never been to the tire center but what are the odds they would even have a replacement tire for me? How long are the auto services

Call them and see, but, normally the tires are ordered and shipped to your store… they don’t have inventory for you other than jacking someone else’s order. Maybe they’d do it but probably not.

Go to a discount tire or equivalent for a pair of tires.

my Costco tire has a whole lot of sets on hand, like giant stacks of tires all behind the counter but there's no guarantee they'll have tires that fit your wheels and/or are tires you even want. For that, you gotta order and honestly if you're buying tires discount tire is probably better if available.

Just be aware that some people are fiercely loyal to certain diaper brands, but you can probably get away with it being that it's probably their first back. Also agreeing with whoever said to get a bigger size.

You also can't go wrong with clothes. Same as diapers, get a few sizes up. It lessens the pain of having to buy your baby a whole new wardrobe every six months in the beginning.

I'm at the Reykjavik Costco and let's see here...

- Onions for the hotdog
- Combo Pizza Slice with BBQ Chicken instead of other meat (even better than normal combo IMO)
- Cheeseburger (pricey though, was nearly 5x the $2 hotdog)
- no $4 soft serve, instead you get $4 gelato with a waffle cone

The only thing that was a little weird is literally no Italian sausage in the whole building, but other than that, kicking the poo poo outta the US Costcos.

What do people think of the Beecher’s frozen Mac n cheese? Better or worse than the deli stuff? I always like to take cook some pancetta and stir it in near the end, too.

Been eyeing the dewalt drum fan and it’s down to $80, sold. And then surprise, my store was clearing out the electric pressure washers for $99.97 so I guess I’m getting one of those too. Wanted the gas one but I am not $300 interested in it. It was $199 on sale pre covid.

Also, the loving water softener never goes on sale ever. My unit is in the “needs to be replaced one of these years” stage so I was waiting for it to go on sale since 2019 when it was $320 and now its $400 and it still doesn’t go on sale lol. Same for the standby generator… couldn’t afford it right after buying a house but it was $4000 on sale back then (with 10% shop card) and now it’s lol $5200. Big inflation Al’s

The premade Beecher’s mac is great, but admittedly expensive. If you can get ahold of the Beecher’s cheese on it’s own though, it’s def worth making your own batch. The cheese itself is stellar.

yeah I feel the same way about bacon.

I like a nice thick cut bacon but the smell lingers for quite a while, a day or more, and it’s greasy and musky and unwelcome after I’m done eating. Like the culinary version of closing the browser tab in disgust after you’ve finished. And that’s one of the reasons I don’t find myself cooking bacon often except as an ingredient in something else. bit of a travesty, but it’s just kinda unpleasant after.

Is it when they add them straight to a hot pan with all the gross package juice? That usually has a foul smell like few other things.

The deli mac and cheese is nice for gatherings because you can just dump it all in a crock pot and keep it warm.

100% agree

the reason that stuff is good is the cheese; buy that and save money on the other ingredients not worth the premium unless you really need the convenience, in which case sure get some decadent frozen mac and cheese, convince yourself it'll be worth it on your executive refund, whatever.

Big day for me. Went to Colorado Springs Costco on my way home. They have booze, which is good to know.

Bought gloves for car stuff that I haven't seen in my store for a long time, probably since early 2020 and they were rationed.

I got simple pull chain shop lights that I wanted for my garage. Previously they only had fancy remote ones with sensors that were too expensive and fancy for what I wanted. Two pack for $20.

Finally, my girlfriend loves the Cangshan BBQ knife set and wanted another set to give her folks as a gift. She bought hers for $60. Last week I told her they were on sale for $49.97 and she was going to buy them. She didn't. At this Costco they were $29.97. Yet they rang up at $40.00. That's bizzare to me (**.00 Prices are usually lower than the nine sevens!) but after they verified they honored the lower price and I was on my way.

Pbuc!

To be perfectly clear I mean Spirits. Hard liquor. In store, not a seperate entrance liquor store wart business. My normal one has beer, no wine. The good ones have it all. I don't think any in Colorado have wine and beer without spirits.
