Do Costco memberships work internationally? I can't log into the US Costco site with my Costco Australia credentials.

I'm now worried that I may not be able to access Costco when I'm in the US!

Are you in California? Apparently the packaging of Kerrygold butter ran afoul of a new hazardous chemical law. Here’s an article about it. It’s supposedly going to take a bit to get back up to speed. Apparently something similar is happening on New York as well.

I am and... ok that makes sense and is a bit surprising. I will hold out with my regular kirkland butter and await the return. My toast thanks you.

Kirkland "Super Premium" Vanilla Ice Cream

Disappointing, if you call something super premium I'm expecting at least Ben & Jerry's or Haagen Dazs level of density. But I guess they took out the air and replaced it with some filler that has the consistency of melted bubblegum or low-viscosity Silly Putty.

For the $15 we would have been better off with three tubs of Breyers, honestly.

It might be regional because our super premium is I think Tillamook

The PFAS coated butter is more spreadable due to the sleek non-stick coating! Thanks again, Uncle Sam?

It works. I was able to use my Korean one when I was visiting the US a few years ago. They can’t scan it, but just explain and they’ll let you use it.

How have you not returned it yet?

Well, I got it at 17:30 on a Sunday for one thing. My boyfriend did agree that it’s more of a gummy soft-serve than usual super-premium but he finds it acceptable because it’s still ice cream. It seems to have a lot of eggs in it too but so does gelato and that doesn’t act like this. I’m thinking they’ll just refund me if I complain without them needing their tub of half melted goo back.

As to it being regional, mine says “Real California Milk” on it which Google says means it’s from “Humboldt Creamery”, so there you go.

We loved the street taco kit last time so my bf had us get the gyros kit this time, I had my reservations that it would be slimy upon reheating the meat and yeah it was kinda a grease pool, but drat if the tzatziki sauce didn’t fix everything. Extremely filling.

The whole reason I renewed my US card was to go to the Costco in Iceland while on vacation and it worked perfectly, they’re supposed to work everywhere.

Iceland’s food court is 10 times better, they have a barbecue chicken combo slice, cheeseburger, and gelato. Tried them all, two thumbs way up.

My main Costco had scan guns on each self checkout when they first rolled those lanes out and then a few months later they disappeared and added an extra person to the area to sign the top of receipts and do the scanning for you. No trust.

That's weird, mine checks the receipt on the way out no matter what type of checkout you do. So it doesn't matter if you try to not scan something, they'll notice. I once forgot to scan something and had to go to customer service to pay for it.

Though I've never bought once of those massive heaping carts, maybe you can hide stuff in those

For whoever asked where I was re: scan guns being present. Central Texas

They still check the receipt on the way out too. It’s overkill.

Anyone have one of those Kirkland Stearns & Foster mattresses? What are your thoughts? Is it at least less of a rip-off than every other mattress seems to be? Been waking up with aches and pains for awhile and figured it was all downhill from here. That is until I spent the other night in a hotel and realized this dumbass tuft and needle is what’s aging poorly.

Such a disappointing piece of garbage. Do yourself a favor and stay away from Tuft & Needle.

I have an S&F mattress, but I got it at a regular mattress store. We actually showed the cheaper Costco model to the salesman to negotiate a better price on ours. It's been great for about a year so far, but it's hard to judge a mattress in that little time.

I don't think I've ever seen this at Costco before, so I picked it up this morning, and it's actually pretty good. Still probably prefer Win Schulers if I had to choose, but this is also good. Has a tiny bit of heat, but not nearly as much as I was hoping.

They were doing samples yesterday of this. poo poo is GOOOOOD.

my home depot self checkout experience has been 75% bad, 25% smooth as hell. on the bad ones, it's been problems with items not scanning, items coming up with the wrong price, or being pushed to self checkout by the employee directing register traffic despite me clearly holding spray paint.

my costco doesn't have the scanner guns so i almost never use self checkout. instead i place everything in the cart with barcodes up so the cashier scans everything in 5 seconds without any effort. quick and beautiful when it works out nicely

Can't find it again but the Gong Cha Classic Milk Tea instants are some of the best I've ever found, including several actual milk tea shops.

The box says 2.8 oz water per packet but that's like syrup so I use 6oz out of a Keurig.

They really need the scanner guns that you can use yourself like at Home Depot and Lowes. Too many large bulky items to take in and out of my cart.

Does seem weird to me. When you have to pick something heavy or big up to scan it, the voice says "Please do not put it on the scale, it's too heavy :(" but I do it anyway. If you don't want me to put it on your scale and break it, then put scanner guns out.

Maybe they changed the recipe but that is some of the best premium ice cream I've ever had - extremely dense, rich, and delicious. It's got a few gums like any mass-produced product but it's worlds better than Breyers or any of that garbage. Easily outclasses Ben & Jerry's and Haagen-Daaz imo.
