I thought quad dog is when you take two hot dogs put them into two chicken bakes then you take another chicken bake put two hot dogs in it then you get a pizza and roll that all up together and then you can cut it and make pinwheels out of it

That's just a full on gangbang dawg.

So can I just show up to a Costco and shop, or is there this whole application process?

Gotta be a member, and it's $60 to sign up. There is a Groupon promo that gives you a $30 shop card, though.

The tiendas in my city are slacking, I scoured the ghetto and came up with bupkiss. How's the hab-ghost?

it's good, definitely the hottest el yucateco offers. it's got caramelized onions in it which is unique and tasty, assuming you can handle the heat and taste the actual flavor

not sure they have any of the new ones in stores, you have to order them online. also maybe don't call ethnic neighborhoods of your city ghetto

I like talking about peppers with Ed, he is a cool dude. First time I ate a reaper, he handed me a slice of a fresh one the year he introduced them to the public.

we signed up for a year of monthly mystery sauces and some of his puckerbutt sauces are total poo poo, just bland rear end water. threw a bunch out. maybe he just uses the monthly thing as a way to unload crap experiments, idk.

Exactly how I feel. I celebrate the entire catalog.

I suppose I like some better than others but I couldn't even tell you which I prefer tbh, they're all good.

We had an outside party with ~40 people and I didn't want to cook lunch for everyone so got it from the 'stco...

Croissant sandwiches: these were a hit. Very good and easily customizable. I wish we had gotten 2x the trays of this
Pinwheel sandwich rolls: very mid. Swiss, cream cheese, and chicken breast slices. They largely went untouched.

Are there any other deli to go items we should try for next time?

nah puckerbutt's sauces are pretty bad, despite the fact that dude knows his poo poo about peppers and I generally agree with him in that video. It's one of the great mysteries in the world of peppers. I've only ever bought purees from him.
All the Pepper X Last Dabs I've had are pretty good, though, and he directly supplies them with his stuff.

Finally got my act together to get a video doorbell, got the Eufy 2K one with local storage and no subscription. Turned up and it was a surprise £40 off! PBUC

I bought one of these and it bricked out of the box. That continued my streak of every single one of these lovely IOT gizmos bricking out of the box. Ah well.

On a plus side my Costco has samples of these strawberry gummies coated in yogurt and they're like crack.

Edit to be fair to Eufy I installed their doorbell after uninstalling the previous owner's Ring. The Eufy blew the doorbell transformer, which apparently doorbells have their own specific transformers?? And there are multiple types??? Anyway my electrician buddy swapped a new transformer in and the Eufy works fine.

The croissant sandwiches are money. I guessed correctly that they'd be the answer after reading the first sentence

Has a general consensus on the roast beef sandwhich been established? A bad roast beef sandwich for $10 is a complete ripoff. A good roast beef sandwich for $10 is decent.

I never got the chicken pot pie either but I love them in general and I heard the Costco one is good. It's just that it's so huge and I'm a single guy so it'd take me a few nights to eat it.

Something like that probably keeps well in the fridge I suppose.

you’re assigning a degree of agency to a single dude eating a pot pie that i’m not sure most of them have. if i had a such a pie and no one else around to judge me that thing would be gone in a sitting. that is simply how nature meant it to be

It's been a minute, Costco thread! I moved to a rural area without a Costco. I'm still in a rural area without a Costco, but there's one that's almost reasonable for what I'm after.

My question is about hot tubs. I think Costco is the way to go to get a hot tub, for price and selection. So, how do you go about this in a warehouse? I've seen them perched along the ceiling but I really don't know how they're sold.

My new backyard already has hookups for a pool and, I would assume, a hot tub. Any tips?

Even back in the day I could really put food away, a Costco pot pie is still 6 pounds. It took over a week for me to eat the one I got and I couldn't eat a pot pie for about 2 years after it.

Last time I saw them they were with the rest of the premade food stuff like the chicken Alfredo. It should be on the same row as the meat.

I am also in this market and hope another goon has taken the plunge. I think the biggest concern I have is the delivery. Costco will deliver to the driveway and that's it. You're on your own getting it to the final placement and hookup. Which isn't the end of the world if you can call up a moving company and make your own connections but will certainly be a cost for professional install on top. Also it's a logistics and timing issue, the delivery may be delayed or late in the day so it's going to sit outside for a minute. I'm considering going with a spa specific store but not sure yet.

Duly noted, thanks for the advice. There are a couple spa stores in the area but when we went into the showrooms it all felt out of our price range, if you have to ask you can't afford it sort of deal. The other option is an inflatable one; we hung out in one at a festival over the summer and it wasn't bad at all, but putting three times the cost into something more sturdy seems worth it?

Joke's on me if the movers and the install is more expensive than the hot tub itself.
