I’m on my iPad and the Amazon app is being difficult, but they’ve got a knockoff Winix replacement filter plus 4 charcoal pre filters for $19.99. A far cry from the $50 Winix charges. Just look for “C545 H13 True HEPA Replacement Filter S Compatible with Winix C545 Air Purifier, Replaces Winix S Filter 1712-0096-00, 1 True HEPA Filter + 4 Activated Carbon Filters 1 Pack”

I imagine you can get better deals buying like a 6-pack or something. I paid a couple bucks more than above and got it same day, which was nice.

third party companies have an agreement with Costco that seems to be 'discount (probably) in exchange for you giving up name/data about your purchasing habits' so, yknow, they're making that money back on you somehow

It seems to require you to sign in with your costco account to even see the deals, so I haven't. Perhaps I am missing out on all these great deals???

Had the weirdest thing happen tonight. Grabbed a box of those Del Real bean & cheese pupusas and opening the first pack, the top pupusa was beef & cheese.

The rest of that vacuum sealed package was all bean & cheese. My poor vegetarian wife of course bit into the beef & cheese one and I thought she was crazy because mine was fine, but it was loaded with shredded beef, wasn’t even like it was a single piece. It’s like someone grabbed one off another line and put it in.

Trip report though, they are amazing pupusas.

Actually, in the tradition of Costco failing at websites, logging in to Costco.com won't allow you to see the CostcoNext.com deals. You have to type in your member number, first name and last name.

My read from looking through the website is that it's a side deal they give Costco members as part of them getting a few products in physical stores. The deals on brands I'm familiar with were negligible.

I picked up a bag of black pepper & herb chicken tenders from Church about a week ago, finally got around to eating them and gotta say: they are pretty darn good. And that's just from an oven, not anything fancy like an air fryer. Good flavor, no naughty bits like chewy gristle or whatever else you could expect, and great for your dietary macros (if you are looking at those). You apparently can microwave them, but I can't imagine why you would. If you put them in the oven, they get nice and crispy. I imagine a microwave just leaves them floppy and wet.

Costco either gets a very low quantity of them or they sell out fast. When I picked up my bag about 2 weeks ago, they were almost sold out.

If you want a good topping for a salad or something, i'd look at these. Cut them into strips and put them on top of a salad. I'm sure you'll be happy.

Yea, these are the ones. Usually I avoid Tyson, but these are straight up, non-breaded tenderloins so I'm enjoying them. No room for that normal Tyson filler. They have a great flavor, even have a hint of lime to them, which I kind of noticed on the first batch and then identified on the second batch. I had them a few years ago and wasn't a fan, but it seems they went away for a bit and are coming back. I had a few more tonight to put on a salad and they came out great, again. Just takes like 25 minutes in the oven with a flip in between and they come out juicy with a little bit of crisp.

Last time i had them they were way too over seasoned and this time they aren't done that way. I'm gonna buy a couple more bags tomorrow, because my local didn't get a huge shipment and last time I was there they were getting kind of low.

The Philips Hue deals are usually pretty decent when they work, which they often don't because Philips is as bad at websites as Costco is.

You probably see this but the Philips Hue stuff seems to rotate through Costco.com all the time, sometimes they have the kits with A19 bulbs, sometimes recessed.
