costco boneless ribeye has gone way down in price in my area. i remember paying over $100 for the 3 packs during 2019-2020 and they're like $55 now. I was afraid the quality had been sacrificed but they're the same as I remember.

Hell my steak game has stepped up since then so they're actually better.

Literally just got gas at the Costco in loving Kauai of all places. The tiniest of the 4 main islands.

Costco is always the first stop when we get off the plane in Hawaii for booze and Maui Chips.

I spent my eighteenth birthday at Scarborough Downs betting on harness racing and smoking cigarettes inside. I also distinctly remember getting a hot dog from concessions. All of it was extremely grim. Next time I go back north I'll have to go get a QPPABHDw20OD&FR for nostalgia purposes.

Lovely. But it's quite far from me and enough out of the way when I do travel that I will likely never go there.

Costco had some good chest and fridge style freezers for storing your meats. Also those chicken nuggets from a few pages back are very good. 10/10 would recommend

Got new fridge and washer dryer delivered today. Service was great and they brought new electrical cables / hoses / ductwork and hooked everything up. We purchased the fridge a few days before the Labor Day sale where the price dropped $150. Called them up and they are refunding the difference today. My parents also told me to get the Allstate warranty which extends the coverage out to 5 years after purchase. Will be going for communion later tonight, PBUC.

Costco thread, what's the best way to find out if an item Costco has had for years will go on sale? It's a patio set and I'm not in a rush to pick one up so I'm fine waiting until later this year or even next spring if it means I might be able to save a couple hundred bucks. There's not a camelcamelcamel equivalent for Costco out there, is there?

As far as I know, there's no way to tell when or if a certain item will go on sale. Costco does plan their sales on most things months if not a year+ in advance, but no one outside their corporate offices would have access to that information. I don't think things like patio sets go on sale very often. If anything, the longer you wait, the price is more likely to go up due to inflation, and the couple hundred bucks you might "save" on a sale would just bump it down to what the price currently is.

If you have a chance to try the Sky Valley Sriracha sauce (https://www.costco.com/sky-valley%2c-green-sriracha-sauce%2c-hot%2c-17.25-fl-oz%2c-2-count.product.4000100871.html), I highly recommend. That's the double green Sriracha pack, but I found the combination red and green at my local and use them for different things. I'm like 1/4 through each of the bottles already and I haven't had them terribly long. Good flavor on both and just the right amount of heat.

It's not the same thing as the Sriracha you are used too, but it's pretty good stuff. I use them on everything.
