I'm very thankful I never had a Costco membership when I was a soda drinker. Passing by pallets of Dr. Pepper would have done me in.

definitely drink diet soda on the regular but i will not buy a flat of diet dr.pepper, etc. thats my line. i would just run through them with that many lying around.

Finally got a membership. I walk in, get a $5 chicken and leave.

The money I’ve saved on chicken has already paid for the membership.

I will only buy chicken here. Nothing else.

But what if they had another chicken?

Can't wait for Starry on tap at the Costco

I don’t know if this is a joke post or not but YES

The one Achilles heel of the Costco food court at every one I’ve been to has been the soda dispenser. They only have Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, lemonade, some kind of weird raspberry iced tea, and gamer piss (Mt Dew)

Give me a sprite, give me a 7-up, give me a Sierra Mist, give me a Starry, by the grace of Kirkland, please!!!!

First time roasting a pork belly, 4$/lb Swift brand from Costco, turned out really good. bought a big slab and it'll end up being 3 nice portions.

Score/poke holes into the fat side, salt both sides, dry in the fridge for 24 hours, roast for about an hour, then broil the skin until crisp. I think i'll broil a little longer next time.

I don't totally blame the mods for this, although ideally they would be more willing to put in more than a modicum of effort.

This is my theory of silly excessive moderation on SA:

1) There are A LOT of tattletales on these forums who report posts. Just like in elementary school, the tattletales often have pretty terrible sensibilities.

2) The SA mod, who doesn't read the threads, will take the narrative provided by the tattletale in the report at face value, and probate the offending poster. Unlike the teachers I had in elementary school, the mods don't seem to have the presence of mind to question the tattletale's description of the problem, and seem to take their reports 100% at face value.

I think from the mod's point of view, it's way easier to just probate the poster to avoid the potential wrath of a shrill tattletale contacting you. The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

That looks wonderful! I usually end up dividing the loins into 3 or so roasts, seasoning them, and then sous viding one whenever I want one and finishing in a hot pan to get a crust. Keeps the pork from overcooking with no effort at all.

You're right - the rule as written is a little more specific. Chalk this one up to mod discretion. Or indiscretion. Whatever.

I'm going to be busy today so can't engage in a back and forth, so to everyone else please don't continue this derail. If you really want to yell at me send me a PM and I'll get to it later.

I cube them up into 1" pieces and put them in the smoker to make Pork Belly Burnt Ends. I might have to try the Sous Vide route too though.

Yes. CostCo does have a mortgage service department.

Edit: According to Google, they closed down this service in late 2022, so you just missed it.

Then this isn't worth discussing in the Costco thread

...since Costco doesn't carry pampers, the superior diapers and wipes, and coach would have had to go to BJ's for his poop cleaning needs.

Last time at Costco they didn't have any flushable wipes. Starting to notice some weird brand decisions, like when they stopped carrying the Biotin shampoo and now have pretty much just Kirkland stuff.

That could be on the brands them selves. Hasn’t there been issues with some brands not wanting to be carried at Costco?

I bought a bag a few months ago. They taste okay but I felt like I could have eaten the entire bag in one sitting as there is really nothing to them. Pop one in your mouth, chew a couple times, and it's like those videos of raccoons washing cotton candy... it just kinda disappears.
