I have to go to Costco tomorrow morning and hope they have the lemon merange cheesecake available. Plus a few other odds and ends. I am hopeful that I don’t lose my sanity attempting this while having two small children in tow. I think bribes of croissants and maybe new clothing might be in order.

Got strawberries a month ago from Costco that were amazing. I smelled them across the walk-in and immediately ate most of them when I got home. This week the same brand was in with the same cartoon-pulling-me-by-the-nose fragrance so I bought more. Only to find out that they were unripe garbage berries like you'd get from the grocery store.

I'm not returning them however because I've found a perfect pill delivery vehicle for my dog

Costco on a holiday weekend is always a mess, so good call on skipping it

Thought I’d ask here, but did Costco stop doing Kirkland Brand whipped cream or is it just a local shortage in my area? I haven’t seen ANY on the shelves at the two local Costcos I’ve been going to over the last two months.

Finally caved in today and bought the Land ‘O Lakes version, the only other one they carried, and I don’t care for it, it’s not sweet at all and I’ll prolly be returning it.

Since you said Land O Lakes I assume you’re referring to soft/whipped butter? Because real whipped cream is brain dead easy to make and you can make it however sweet you want.

How's your gas? That meat gave me terrible meat farts. (Going to the nearby Greek place does not result in meat farts.)

I mean, heavy cream goes bad in a matter of weeks whereas canned whipped lasts for months (the Land 'O Lakes ones I just got don't expire til November). And sometimes you just want a dollop of the stuff for some ice cream or hot chocolate or whatever and busting out the hand blender with a whisk attachment or stand mixer to whip up your own isn't really practical.

I was just wondering if there was just a shortage of the stuff or if it was outright discontinued. The pandemic has caused random shortages on arbitrary things over the last three years.

The real reason is because most of us are exhausted parents who sometimes need to find the tiniest joy in life and I'm not dirtying all those dishes so I can have a quick shot of dopamine straight into my mouth

I didn't grow up with Cool Whip, and regular Cool Whip has always felt a little weird to me, like the texture is wrong and it's too sweet. For whatever reason I actually like the Sugar Free Cool Whip much better, and find it a much more viable whipped cream substitute.

My Costco did not have the lemon meringue cheesecake available today (Sunday). Since we were planning on bringing it to a small BBQ, we had to pivot. So instead we got the Tuxedo mousse cake. The consensus on the mousse cake was that it was very good.

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking and I never thought it would come to this.

I think my easy option heat and eat food is changing from gussying up the frozen Kirkland pizzas to the frozen orange chicken.

I’ve been tossing the Normandy vegetable mix in some sesame oil and seasonings and putting all that on top of rice. I’ve been thinking about it for weeks.

For items on sale that say LIMIT: number is it per member overall or per visit? If i bought the max of something and go back a few weeks later (as part of my regularly scheduled shopping) could I buy the max again?

If you ask them they'll say the discount limit is per day on the membership. It's really per transaction though, but they don't want you to know that. If you get the max of something, you can get right back in line and get the max of the same item again. It's definitely fine if you do it on different days. It's like the return policy, they probably aren't going to hassle you about it unless you're clearly abusing the system.
