Anyone else miss the berry smoothie? I swear the mango smoothie is a bunch of fruit leathers all blended together. Also went to get gas from Costco today and I forgot which day it was

I have a distant relative who works at Costco. What do you want to know? I can ask him at Christmas.

The problem with the Pumpkin Pies is there's so many places they can go wrong that you're pretty much always going to gently caress them up. I knew a goon was in the Pie Mines during Thanksgiving so I searched for "pie" I think there's at least two others who currently or previously worked at church

I did not go to Church today but I did utilize their online services. Booked a rental car for my partner through Costco Travel. 7 day rental picking up at Ohare, and reserving it only 10 days before the trip. It was definitely cheaper than reserving directly from the major rental companies. Its probably the 3rd or 4th time I've booked rental cars through them. PBUC

I had already reserved a car through another service and checked this and it's like 100 bucks cheaper for the same time and car. cancelling my previous reservation and doing this instead!

Dude has paid off his condo with money he earned at the food court handing out $1.50 hot dogs and drinks (with refill). They even paid for his rehab! As far as retail goes I dunno but it sounds way above average.

I think my first time using it was reserving a full size SUV to help bring stuff to and help ferry people around for my wedding weekend. It was probably a couple hundred dollars less than reserving anywhere else. I know I can't attribute it to the Co but I was expecting some raggedy rear end Chevy Tahoe or Suburban and ended up with a pretty nice Escalade ESV.

heavy liquid posted:This thread has me seriously contemplating dropping $100 bucks on a Wagyu ribeye. i haven't seen this hot take posted yet so it falls to me the ribeye cap steaks are a very similar flavor experience to eating the wagyu ribeye. try those first. if you enjoy having that much fat laced throughout your meat and you wanna try to go further maybe go for the wagyu then. for me the cap steaks are too fatty and unctuous and i feel like poo poo after eating a full one already. the wagyu is a step past that. it's like ny strip (lean) -> ribeye (fatty yum) -> ribeye cap (fatty! yum! but i feel awful) -> wagyu (ok we can't call this steak any more)

Suxpool posted:i haven't seen this hot take posted yet so it falls to me Does your Costco often have the Ribeye Cap steaks available? I came across them 1 time. There was 1 package and I grabbed them super fast. I went back looking for them a few other times and even asked the meat guy and he said it wasn't something they do and had no idea how I was able to buy them once.

Vegetable posted:eat less red meat and extend your health expectancy you fools Also help the environment, Beef uses a metric fuckton of water/space/resources per pound of meat produced compared to any other food source. Also, factory farming is a literal nightmare. Grazed animals, or hunting wild animals is where it's at for meat.

I have it on good authority that in the year 2037 technology will be invented that uses nanobots to entirely eliminate sickness and disease as we know it (even for poor people), so as long as eating red meat doesn't kill you before then all you're doing is not eating delicious meat with ultimately zero health benefit.

a5 wagyu is not factory farmed. massages and beer and such also, they cured obesity w semaglutide, only 1400 usd/month. when patent expires it'll get closer to actual cogs of 5 bux i think, but the previous history of obesity drugs is like 120 years of failure and misery so they prolly need to amortize that away
