I accidentally went to Costco in Ohio and it made me sad because they can’t sell liquor. So dumb.

Sadly Costco hasn't done that yet. Of course I could just drive ten minutes, cross the river to Quebec and get cheap Quebec beer and wine at Quebec Costco PBUC

Tried the Costco brand pulled pork from the prepared food isle. I went in with low expectations but I figured it couldn't be that bad. Nope, it somehow went far below my already low expectations. If you told me it was the reject scraps off of a breakfast ham production line I'd believe you. The only way I could salvage it was by covering it in bbq sauce to hide its taste. I'm gonna feed it to my FIL and throw the rest in the trash

Costco was a big push behind liquor sales in grocery stores in WA. I still like the liquor store near my house, though, since they have a better variety.

In MN you aren't allowed to sell directly liquor/beer in grocery stores, but they can have a liquor store with a separate entrance in the same building. Most Costcos here have one and they're great.

Or Michigan. I remember walking down the aisles of Walmart looking for de-icer and there were handles of vodka on the shelf and figured it was a good way to kill two birds with one stone

It's really not fair for me to weigh in on this but you can buy booze here in Wisconsin anywhere. Beer/liquor/wine. Grocery stores, Walgreens, CVS, almost every single gas station, purpose-built liquor stores, etc. You can buy beer until 12am and liquor until 9pm. Probably starts at 8am or something. It's always weird when I go into a gas station here and they don't have beer. Sometimes it's been because they got their license taken away from selling to minors or they just don't have the space. I'd imagine it's always profitable. I bought a 30 pack of Milwaukee's Best Light at a BP yesterday for $17.

In Michigan, we are an ABC state, so everything sold at retail has to be submitted and approved by the ABC, but then anybody who wants to sell it in their stores can - there's no exclusivity allowed. I see Kirkland brand liquor at liquor stores all the time, for example. It still prevents a ton of brands from being distributed here, and we aren't allowed to have liquor shipped in-state, either, but sometimes you'll find online stores who have no qualms ignoring state shipping laws. The one silver lining is that grocery stores like Meijer can sell booze without issue. Corb3t fucked around with this message at 22:03 on Nov 9, 2023 |

Cursed trip. I don’t know what I bought but I got $244 of it. The 505 boldly claims “new size!” but it’s just way smaller. The food court was “closed until further notice” which I didn’t discover until I had gone through the checkout. I bought new wiper blades but when I got home I realized someone had put a 20” back in the bin for 24” and naturally that’s the one I grabbed.

I didn't know how hosed state liquor laws could be until I moved to Seattle last year. It's loving ridiculous. Like half the price of the bottle is added taxes on top of the regular price in CA where I lived. The Costco hard liquor section in Seattle is a cursed place. Not much of a drinker so whatever but I get mad on principle. I saluted the American flag every time I walked past the Kirkland American Vodka handle for $10.99 in my home state of California. Let freedom ring. david_a posted:Cursed trip. I don’t know what I bought but I got $244 of it. The 505 boldly claims “new size!” but it’s just way smaller.

I bought new wiper blades but when I got home I realized someone had put a 20” back in the bin for 24” and naturally that’s the one I grabbed. Before they brought in the smaller bottles they clearanced out the bigger ones for like 4 bucks. So I bought 2-3 of those bad boys and should have bought more but my god accursed wife starts up with the prattle "we don't need 5 bottles of 505 chilis" really gets me going to hear that in church.

Went to church last night, picked up a bag of Tajin gummy bears and some Chicken Shawarma from the fridge section. Gummy bears are absolutely my jam, so I hope they become part of the regular rotation. Has anyone else tried the shawarma chicken?
