A rocket fuel made of Doritos? Yeah, I could kind of see it.
Convenient reminder that the deli in the back often has sammiches. A bunch of my costcos have 4 or 5 pack of turkey/croissants for :10bux:, there's also a whole sammich + half cesar salad also for the same price. A top tier lunch. For most of the weekday, going into the store, all the way to the back, and checking out is faster than waiting in the hecking foodcourt line.


Can't get an $1.50 ALL BEEF hotdog and drink (with refill) back there tho

I wish they had hot-smoked salmon. How do you have 5 varieties of cold-smoked salmon and none of hot!!!

Just buy a smoker and make your own with the Costco steelhead slides. I've made hot smoked fish a lot and I can't go back to the prepackaged stuff.

I think sales are usually valid in both. You'll just possibly end up paying more online because they charge for shipping either directly or indirectly with a higher price but you still get the discount.

Yeah I rang up and it ended up being £30 cheaper in store than online, and included £70 off at checkout. Absolute steal

I was just watching cart narc and realized something weird. I almost never see misplaced shopping carts at costco. Do they have really quick cart pushers? Is the clientele of a higher class than your average grocery store?

I’ve noticed the same. IMO, it’s a few factors:

  • Multiple staff seemingly dedicated to cart wrangling.
  • The cart width might discourage just leaving them between cars.
  • Costco seems to have more cart corrals, better enabling people to do the right thing.
  • Folks will dispatch passengers from their vehicle to “take care of” someone’s cart so that the driver can take their parking space.

Yes. Though I think it's more to do with the pickle juice than homophobia tbh.

I dont eat at Chick Fil A but I do know that soaking fried chicken in pickle juice is not just theirs. My local super market (HEB) has pickle juice nuggies in their frozen section. It legit tastes good so its been mimicked and copied by tons of others. I highly doubt Chick Fil A was the first to do this even just the most well known at the moment.

Cart corral chat:
I think it also has something to do with Costco corrals not being trashed, rusted pieces of crap. I will always put my cart in a corral no matter what, but it's just a more pleasant experience when I walk up to Costco corral.

Just finished a bag of these. The only mark I have against them is their breading is on the sweeter side and they sort of smell like maple syrup when baking.

The only things I don't like about the carts is that the kid shelf is like a half inch too narrow to comfortably rest a slice, and when returning it to the corral it's like three inches too long for me to comfortably reach over it to grab the handle of the cart I'm penetrating with mine - to prevent it from rolling away. Also I got one with a squeaky wheel today.

BTW, Costco sells a box of these microwavable pouches of "Mardas Lentils", theoretically it is supposed to be some Indian food, but to me it just tastes like mild chili with beans. It's so savory that it's honestly fooling me into thinking there's beef in it, and I'm the one who instantly catches when vegan bastards try to trick me with fake meat at a BBQ. There's cream in it so it isn't full vegan if anyone cares. Anyway, just a pleasant surprise from the stuff I picked up.

It's thanksgiving weekend here in Canada and they had the massive pumpkin pies available for $7, worth a try!

And yeah it was pretty underwhelming like the majority have mentioned... not bad, not great, edible is all I can say, definitely needs whipped cream or ice cream to go with it.

Used to yeah, I always had these hosed up vegan hipster acquaintances that would try to sneak seitan / soy hotdog / impossible burger at me thinking if I didn't notice it would be a "gotcha" to force me to convert, but I always noticed.

Anyway these lentils taste beefier than any of those without even trying or billing itself as such.
