I made the mistake of buying this. It was a mistake because I have no self control with these and usually eat way too many.

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!

Costco Online is different from the stores in regards to using international memberships:

Seems like a hassle, but the option is there!

Re: Sardine chat, they are frequently on sale and excellent quality. So excellent, in fact, that one time my extremely crafty beagle got herself up on the kitchen table, balanced herself on our coffee station in such a way that she was able to open the built in cabinet overhead, knocked down the unopened six pack of sardine cans, and opened and ate every single one of them. She was extra glossy for a couple weeks after that, which speaks to Kirkland Quality.

And this was the BJs brand. I shudder to think of the demonic magic the kirkland signature ones possess

Agreed. And you also don't clog up the food court with a packed cart this way. People who do it wrong (food court after shopping) always seem to park their drat carts right in front of the garbage cans or blocking tables or that kind of thing.

Getting ready to go to Costco for home office supplies, since I quit my job for one where I don't have to show up to an office (and my super nice built-for-me chair is about 8 weeks out). Also picking this up since it delivered to the store:

It's as good as you imagine, but I enjoyed tossing some additional Rao's sauce on top for some added flavor/sauciness. Definitely optional, especially given how much Rao's costs, but worth it imo.

Eh, I'll grab a pack. They like cheese, I can't eat cheese (I am cursed) so it's worth a shot.

Also I'm getting one of those buckets of G2 pens for like $18 for 50 pens. PBUC.

The superior sardine is the King Oscar bristling but unfortunately Costco doesn't carry it. BJ's does though.

There, I said the hard truth.

I love just dumping a can of KOs into a salad with about half the oil. Add some vinegar and there's your salad dressing. Shake to combine and you now have a bomb rear end lunch that's not making you any friends at work.

DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values
stuck my head inside the sam's club thread and saw that they have their full food court offerings back. stumbling back into the costco thread with my mind reeling, telling myself it's clearly because costco has higher priorities and the sam's food court can't be as good anyway. but the seed has already been planted. I'm questioning everything I ever held true.

I saw an undercover video of Sam's club's food court once and behind the scenes they just have a wet trough full of hotdogs labelled "Bar S" and they just shovel them with a giant shovel with holes for the juice to fall out into the hotdog hopper that feeds the cooker

And they were filling the ket and mus dispensers with Dr Thunder and red/yellow food coloring

WTF happened to the good whipped cream.

Now it's awful kirkland brand crap.

Slowly but surely all the good stuff is phased out and replaced with inferior Kirkland brands. Happened with chocolate chips, too.

I haven't noticed a difference in taste between this and the old Land O Lakes cream (which was some third party licensing the Land O Lakes name). It's still better than the "whipped topping" that my local grocery sells.

That being said, you used to get three cans but now only two.
