Nobody puts Phil in a corner.


my costco had a 1.6kg block of paneer - vac sealed up one singular rectangle of 3 and half pounds of paneer - $20 Canadian.

I was not prepared to take the leap and buy 1.6kg of paneer that needs breaking down like a chicken lmao

They also have the soft ones by the same brand.
Not shelf stable though

Same for mine, curious if there are regional variations or if they’ve ever carried the shelf stable ones

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!

As a Swede I must point out that that you barbaric Americans (I’m now one too, I’m allowed to say that) need to learn about sponge cloths. I hate using towels for wiping up stuff because they get saturated and you just end up pushing water around. Sponge cloths are vastly superior because you can just wring them out and keep going.

We have all of the above: Swedish dish cloths, kitchen towels, cloth napkins, Viva paper towels, and Wypalls, it just depends on the use. If I'm wiping up some wood stain then I'm using something disposable because I don't want to put that through my washer.

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

I started to cube and freeze tofu so I always have it on hand, especially after buying the Costco 4-pack. It gives it a firmer texture with a more sponge-like structure.

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.

Cool - that matches my memory of them, so it's nice to have validation. They're still pretty soft, to the point I will use them to clean my monitors and such, which I generally am too paranoid to do with regular paper towels.

I saw them once in Costco about a year ago and not since. The little sealed cardboard boxes? They were nice but insanely hard for me to open without damaging the tofu block.

You have to follow their instructions very carefully, and even then there’s always a sliver that sticks to the package.

The 4505 Chili Chicharrones are back in my store, and on sale ($5/bag). That's hard to beat. But has anyone that has gotten this fresh batch noticed that they are a little less seasoned? They are fresh, light, not all broken up yet, but there is noticeably less seasoning on them. They seem to be going pretty fast so I might stock up on a few bags.

I didn't care for him wringing it out.

Well my work brought me by the same Costco where I bought shop lights last year so I popped in. I hadn't seen any at my local in a while that were simple chain pull plug in and this one had them last year, but not any more. Just those screw in expanding ones. Real disappointed, if they had them, I would have bought about 6 two packs.

It's in the refrigerated standing shelves. There's like the cheeses, the deli meats, your perogies, then the kimchi. Somewhere around there.

Either they mean the book, in which case it is an eye opening revelation after living a shuttered and insulated life, or they mean the person who had sex with Goatse Man, in which case they feel like the almond milk was produced from an exaggeratedly large penis.

It’s not consistently stocked from Costco to Costco. Of the several that I get to pick from based on whatever traffic is least lovely for the day only two of them regularly have kimchi.

On lucky days I get to visit the one that has both double-g kimchi and Vicolo corn meal pizza. Those days are rare though because the god of this world is a hateful god.
