It was in ours last month, wife uses it but naturally, we don't get it every trip.

Luck you found it there. I've been having a hard time finding any hydrogen peroxide contact solution at all, name brand or store brand. I assume it's another shortage of some kind.

THE TAXES! THE FINGER THING MEANS THE TAXES!

I was really looking forward to going to Costco on my way home from work yesterday, and my wife texts me around 3:30, "Hey I'm at Costco, do you need anything?" I was so bummed.

I know it's silly, but I enjoy the feeling of freedom of going grocery shopping alone. Also, my in laws are staying with us and I wanted to avoid them for an extra 45 minutes.

Shoot, looks like I'm out of energy drinks, didn't realize that yesterday, guess I gotta make a stop on my way home. Might as well get more diapers and milk while I'm there. Sorry I took so long, lines were crazy.

Big same. Other people either shop too slow or look at poo poo I don't want to look at. Solo shopping ftw

There are some benefits to shopping with others at Costco though. If they don't want a sample and you want two, tell them to grab one for them and bam, now you got 2. Also, you can order a pizza from the food court and people think "well, they are just getting 1 for the home, no big deal". But when I order a pizza by myself they know i'm gonna eat the whole thing. Now, usually they are impressed, like "dang, that man is living the life". But occasionally, it does draw stares.

I love grocery shopping but I'm the one looking at poo poo, I work in food/beverage product development so I am ALWAYS exploring stores to see what the new hotness is.

And I like dragging my husband with me because he can sit in place while I run around and grab stuff.

Also just saw this Keith Eats the Menu at Costco, haven't watched it yet though but I love Keith Eats the Menu:

so I'm preparing to do my first costco run - can I just get a membership right in the store, or do I need to get it online first? I know I can get it first online and then get the physical card in-store, but can I just do it all there?

I'm not really much of a kitchen person, but if there's no other solids in the soup, would an immersion blender work?

There is an online deal now for 30bux as a gift card when you buy a gold memberhsip, for some reason through Gamespots online deals store??? (which i didn't even know was a thing)

Costco still sells Alli which is a weaponized pill form of those anal leakage snacks.

This was also the carne asada bake and the bulgogi bake, although I think the bulgogi bake might still be available in Japan? Haven't been back since before Covid, so no idea what it's like these days.

Re: energy drink chat.

I was traveling out of town for work this week and tried swinging by their Church to see what energy drinks they carried. Found they carry 12 packs of a brand called Zoa. Figured I'll try that and hope that Co brings back the Monster variety case one day.

Never a truer word has been spoken. It's really bad. Take off brand Flintstone chewables and crush them up and put them in not very good sparkling water. That's Zoa.

I tried the Zoa, it tastes bad, and only has something like 120 mg caffeine. I had been going with the Celsius, which also tastes bad but has 200 mg caffeine. Since I ran out of Celsius earlier this week, I've been making overnight cold brew in my French press (with beans I got from Costco) and crushing it in the morning when I wake up.

I drink Celsius because they are stocked at work, but that orange flavor is so minging. The kiwi guava ranks a solid tolerable though.
