I get salmon filets from Aldi sometimes and they don't stick up the kitchen. As a matter of fact, my new preferred method for salmon is to pan fry in a non-stick pan. I think it's 3 minutes skin side up on high heat and 4 skin down. Or reversed. Either way, turns out great and I don't smell anything. Frozen.... eh yeah, that might cause more of an issue with the thawing and all.

I had the roast beef sandwich today and it was pretty good. Very filling, made me sleepy after eating it. While the $9.99 price tag seems like a bit much, it's about what you'd pay for a similar sandwich at one of the popular sandwich chains. That being said, it is hard to justify the price when you can pay the same amount and get a whole pizza, or just get a hot dog and soda (with free refill) for $1.50.

I am British and American supermarkets trigger some sort of fight or flight response ok a small forest mammal from how big everything is. the one time I've been to costco I almost triggered some sort of anxiety cold fusion event. Evolution has given me a (totally logical imo) existential terror of amounts of ice cream larger than my own head.

binge crotching posted:But one of the main reasons to grill them outside is to keep the smell and heat of the cooking out of the house in the summer. It's like salmon, I would never ever broil it in the oven when I can grill it outside and not stink up the house. I use my Instant Pot outside all the time. It's my main strategy for keeping the house from smelling like a brewery when I do it, even.

When I was last at Costco, the person in front of us was trying to pass bad checks. But the part of that story that’s relevant is that she was also purchasing fish that you could smell through the packaging and down the register, and before she held up the line for 20 minutes trying to commit fraud, she held up the line for five minutes asking every Costco associate she could flag down if it was supposed to smell like that. Even if it is, do you want your car to smell like the Newport Bayfront for days? Do you want to imbue everything in your fridge with Eau du Whale Corpse?

i bought a lego set for something like 30 dollars cheaper than retail today. its super cute and has sharks and a skeleton and stuff, it will be fun to build it with the kids  especially nice because it hadnt been put on the floor yet due to some confusion (it shares a product number with a completely different set) but one of the floor managers knew i was looking for it and was able to get me one. PBUC and decent managers

In the UK if you possess more than 100g of ice cream you have committed multiple felonies and will die in prison. Your fears are well founded, but they stem from fear of punishment, not ice cream.

The best part about Costco samples is laughing at the chuds greedily waiting for the mini cheeseburgers or whatever to finish cooking while giving desperate side-eyes like some sort of starving dog to make sure nobody cuts in front of them. All red in the face from their high blood pressure and cholesterol, and blocking the aisle with their cart.

My go-to move for the sample folks if they start to talk is to smile and say "those are great I've got some at home!" without ever slowing down.

You fall into the endless putrified sea of onions that have been rotting in the basement since they took the crank away.

Samples are the sole reason my kids get excited to go grocery shopping. Taking them away would significantly reduce the amount of Costco trips we take which would clearly be a net loss for the world. (But a net gain for my net worth.) They are very polite though and frequently make the older Sample Folks smile so hopefully we aren't too insufferable.

I had an issue where my Costco card wasn't working at the pump, so I went in and they snapped a fresh pic and issued a fresh card. This was about 10 hours away from home. In 2020. So now my Costco pic has the straps from a covid mask and me with disheveled hair. It's awful!

Yeah but you know. Effort. Plus they mail you a new citi card too so whatever. I'm gonna let it ride. Oh and I went today and ran into my neighbor. Gotta add her to the people I've seen at Costco list. It's up to 7! I bought some of the patio solar puck lights they are getting rid of with a. 97 price. I had to think long and hard about a three burner camp stove. I kinda wanted it at 169.97 when I was there last, this time it was marked down to a cool $100. Even at that price I don't like camping anyway so I let it go.

Can confirm the roast chicken and pizza are indeed very good. Can also vouch for the lemon cheesecake, very pleasant samples people, and optical experience. Interested to see if Costcos around London are any bigger?

We're having a jobsite BBQ again which is gonna be a huge Costco run. What am I gonna forget? My coworker already reminded me of cheese. We'll have hotdogs and burgers, chips, potato salad, fruit and drinks. Plus all the plates and napkins etc.
