Anyone have a gauge on $/lb of a Kirkland frozen turkey? There's a million turkey deals out there and I'm looking at getting at least two this year. One to eat for the holiday, and one to have for cheap poultry.
Do they have anything besides whole birds, also? I always lament that I can't get chicken quarters there, but I'm hopeful for turkey legs or breasts on bone.

I also want a run down on turkeys.

I was pleasantly surprised with Aldi's instant coffee. It was also like $1.79 or something ridiculously cheap.

I was just at costco and had a free sample of eggo. It was like a quarter of an eggo disc with kirksig maple syrup.

My kid is made of Eggos, string cheese and strawberries so I'm very thankful for Costco.

I still think about the knowing look I shared with a random mom, as she saw me pushing my kid around and put 2 packages of string cheese into my cart since apparently 50 cheeses isn't enough.

Pro move for parking: near a cart thing. Who cares how far out you are if you're next to a cart thing.

The Costco parking lots are hampered by the quick turnover, combined with the general obsession with finding THE CLOSEST spot. I don't know why, but I do it too when I'm there. Every other grocery store, I just pick the first acceptable spot. Basically the amount of cars in each aisle is overwhelming when it'd be better if everyone just parked.

The day that I am too fat to walk from the opposite side of the parking lot to the entrance of costco is the day you put me in the grave. Ditto get whatever opens up first, the walk ain't gonna kill you.

I'm gonna go to Costco tomorrow and buy some stuff and maybe do some Christmas shopping. Those $75 for $100 of gift cards packs are a real godsend this time of year.

E: went to the Aldi near me today and the instant coffee was like $3.79. Sucks but it's still cheaper than any other grocery store afaik.

after editing wikipedia as a joke for 16 years, i ve convinced myself that homer simpson's japanese name translates to the "The beer goblin"
One of my favorite restaurants in town started selling gift cards at Costco. $80 for $100 in gift card credit, but the kicker is that the restaurant charges a credit card fee for transactions which you skip if you use a gift card. So in reality this is a solid ~25% off if we add in the Costco rewards. I would have been losing money NOT buying one of these.

They handed out tiny Costco carts when the one by me opened up a year-ish ago.

The only true way is to cancel your membership. And since that is not an option, you're going to have to do something else, like stop eating or giving away one of your children. Anything to keep costs down so you can continue to shop at Costco.

I stopped in to resupply on croissants, work candy, and gas, so I scoped out the turkey situation.
All fresh, no frozen options. $.99/lb for name brand non-organic. I can't remember what the organic brand was, but it was $3.49/lb.

They should rename organic to moranic, because if you pay extra for that you need to get a brain, morans

If "grass fed" for beef and "free range" for chicken certifications are included alongside the word organic then its fine to pay more. Can definitely taste the difference imo

As cool as church is, the most pathetic job is trying to sell water heaters to people walking out the door.

I was at the water filtration kiosk for eight months when I was 22. "Free home water tests." The turnover was insane. My manager and every other coworker aside from one quit before I did. Last day I clocked in from the store phone, went to the fast food restaurant in the parking lot and watched TV on my laptop for 6 hours, then called in to say I got no leads and was clocking out. If the salesman closed an $8500 sale based on a lead I generated it was worth a $50 commission to me. Insanity. The actual employees pity you.

All these fuckers cheat, like for grass fed they put "grain [corn] finished" in fine print, and in the US "free range" until pretty recently was some self-reported honor system thing with no rules on how long or how much space. Now the FDA is allegedly examining it more closely, but who loving knows. The FDA let labels say "uncured no nitrites" when it's really "uncured? no, nitrites!" so yeah I don't trust them not to fail Americans again and again.
