I know I'm late to the party on this one, but I finally worked my way through my last package of pre-2020 blue sponges, and bought a new pack, and these newies are half the weight of the old ones: 3M is stomping their poo poo harder than Stringer Bell, and it shows.

I still miss the italian sausage. Used to see the workers grilling them up early in the morning outside before opening, provided a delicious scent in the air when filling up the tank early in the morning.

david_a posted:As a PSA for everyone if you’re looking for CostCo paper towel alternatives, Trader Joe paper towels are TERRIBLE. Like, horrendous - the layers immediately delaminate. As far as I'm concerned Viva Signature Cloth are the benchmark by which all other paper towels are judged, and they are judged harshly. They cost more up front but last so much longer, especially now they have half-sheet perforations. I'd be willing to bet they actually work out to be more budget friendly than cheaper paper towels because a single sheet of Viva is worth like 3 of regular paper towels.

Fashionably Great posted:Probably a warehouse by warehouse thing. That being said, with allergen label laws changing to list sesame as an allergen some manufacturers have found it easier to add it to products and label it rather than deal with cross contamination concerns: https://apnews.com/article/sesame-allergies-label-b28f8eb3dc846f2a19d87b03440848f1 I definitely have seen this - I'm a food scientist and work with manufacturing plants and I think it's laziness to go this route and is going to end up potentially killing people or causing severe illness in people who previously had "safe foods." It makes me really mad.

Remulak posted:It's unbelievable how much better those are, although I don't really agree with the the value part except in rare cases. Yeah, I haven't run the numbers, so the value thing could be off or specific to my use case. They are so much better than other paper towels it's not even funny, though.

Sudden Loud Noise posted:You should be able to add a hotdog to your regular check out. I tried doing this by ordering at the food court kiosk and then running into the store proper to shop. The first time it synced perfectly so that my hot dog was ready the moment I left checkout. The second time they apparently gave it to someone else / tossed it and had to start all over. So I have a better idea. Those people who check your receipt when you are leaving, they should makes themselves useful and have a stack of hotdogs to hand one to each person as they check the receipt.

That's a bad plan. They'll just have to toss it on the used mattress and furniture pile before you get through the meat department.

They'll just have to toss it on the used mattress and furniture pile before you get through the meat department. No I mean, they actually called my number as I was leaving checkout, the first time, just because of how long they take to work through it all when they're swamped. Was like a 15 minute wait, which I was able to anticipate because my order number was like 70 behind the number being called when I was at the food kiosk. Sometimes it's a a super long wait and sometimes they just hand the order to me on the spot. I'm blaming the customers for not load-balancing themselves.

Going with the wife and having her place a pizza order while I work down the first half of the store usually works for us on fridays. Pizza comes out right as we finish paying most times.

Involuntary Sparkle posted:Also why the hell did they add sesame seeds to the hot dog buns? My husband is allergic to sesame and can't get his $1.50 communion anymore. Aren’t they explicitly adding sesame to more things since cross-contamination is an issue and just putting “processed on assembly that may also contain <thing>” was recently ruled as an ineffective legal hedge. So they just put sesame on to 100% guarantee it will hurt sesame allergy sufferers. Fun with rule making. Sorry.

But Viva are softer than the shop towels.

But Viva are softer than the shop towels. There are Wypalls, heavy duty paper towels, I've bought them for my lab before and have a box at home but yeah they're nowhere near as soft as Vivas. Incidentally, when we moved last year we found a roll of Vivas that had been in a storage box from years before and the texture definitely has changed over time, less soft and absorbent.

It's in the refrigerated section where they keep the fancier cheeses, dips, hummus, that kinda thing Used to be a square box of 4 tofu blocks, now they changed it to be all tofu blocks on their side. Long Tofu!

Has CostCo ever sold that shelf stable tofu that comes in little bricks? I usually get that because the amount of tofu in one package is more appropriate for how I use it. Would be nice to buy a 6 or 12 pack. Edit: I think the brand I buy is Mori-Nu

If you're looking for cloth-like paper towels there's this other awesome product you should check out. They're called towels, made of cloth. You can wash em and reuse them too!
