Quick question if someone ever buys this: Anyone know how much you pay for one of these contact solution packs in-store?

Thinking of getting one of these, marked down to $150 online, $140 at my local store. Going to replace my uncle's existing chair which is ratty and falling apart. I decided against the other wooden folding chair which is cheaper but lower on account of his knees.

Thoughts? Opinions?



I've got two of these and they're great. I got them last year and they still look brand new despite spending the summer in the California sun.

They're $12 from sameday.costco.com so probably $10ish in club.

I think the saddest way to die would be a car crash on the way home from Costco. You go through the whole store ordeal with months of supplies and then it all ends.

for sale: 120 rolls of toilet paper, never wiped

Struggling to survive in a near-death state for 20 minutes, and then sprinting towards the light when I remember I had brown sugar boba popsicles in the car that are definitely ruined by now.

Real talk on the chest freezer chat - my wife and I have a bit of a surplus in the budget this month and are looking into one. I know folks here have some CostCOpinions, so is there one in particular that is the Gold Standard Of Amazing For The Money Praise Costco to get, or is the discourse more "well, you should buy 20 pounds of chicken and beef at Costco and while you're there, you're gonna need a place to store em so.........."?

bummer dude Costco had a three freezers for $1200 deal up until a couple days ago

Personally I got the cheapest chest freezer they had in the size I wanted it was like $250 and it’s great so I’d say just see what’s on offer with a primary focus on sqft in the freezer.

We have some that I find a little "flexy" when you sit down expecting it to behave like wood. Not awful for the price.

Absolutely worth it even at full price. I find them very comfortable, and have had quite a few front porch beers in them over the years. No obvious fading and I clean them regularly by blasting with the hose. They take a while to dry is about the only problem. I leave them out all year on the covered porch and they look the same as when I put them there, and my friends comment on how nice they are.

They do have a little flex to the back which I find to add to the comfort.

I should pick up the ottomans...

Floor chest freezers have settled into the design global maxima for the past 30+ years and there really isn’t any brand cachet in the segment. Just buy one that’s UL certified.

The only place we have in our home for a chest freezer is our backyard and most chest freezers won’t last out there. Depressing.

Chest freezers kinda suck because poo poo always gets buried at the bottom and you have to pull every fuckin thing out to get to it.

Frozen fruits and vegetables can be healthier for you because they might be flash frozen on site and retain more of their nutritional value over the long shipping process! :eng101:

The solution to that is to have a chest freezer for each type of item. So one for frozen pizza, one for frozen chicken, one for ice cream bars, etc.

And a label maker.

How lazy are you that you can't move a few things around in your freezer. Or strategically stack stuff. Chest freezers own.

Finding stuff you forgot about in the chest freezer is a fun surprise sometimes.

That's the beauty of it, they can use it as a shelf, and then when the time is right they'll bust out their secret vintage Trump Steaks for their real friends (not you)

That's still not the solution though cause you still are pulling the new pizzas off the top or taking all of them out to get to the older frozen pizza at the bottom?

It's a cube so tip the freezer over twice in a row then slide the freezer(carefully) straight up to reveal the oldest pizzas. Select the ones you want, sleeve the freezer back on and tip it twice in the opposite direction. Easy.

let's invade New Zealand, they have oil
Chest freezer rotation is generally a matter of putting newer things at the bottom of the pile, and while you are doing that you are sifting things you want to use soon to the top (or into your normal freezer)

That said, I don't have a chest freezer because I know that it would just increase our food hoarding beyond what we do in our regular fridge.
