i know someone who was in our costco during a power outage near (canadian) thanksgiving, emergency lights, all the payment systems went down, some people were hoping the power was gonna come back up and stuck it out for a while but most people just abandoned their carts. people were leaving through any door as other people were trying to come in, pure pandemonium.

I was thinking about that! Like "do I just leave it all here, do I take it with me?"

Anyway, I think something burned in the bakery but we didn't have to evacuate

I got an email AND a phone call from Costco about a food recall for some Quaker oat granola that's potentially contaminated with salmonella. My family already ate more than 3/4 of the package :(

The one bright spot of getting Costco’d is if you are able to grab the last few boxes with the reduced price * of death. I bought 25 boxes of Nugo protein bars at half price last time it happened to me

My Costco just got them back in this week! Next time you're there if you don't see them, ask someone to check and see if they have an expected arrival date.

I haven't noticed but I also don't get those so I don't really look for them. I need to stop going down the chip isle at Costco, that way leads to regret and stomachaches. Fortunately a Trader Joe's opened up right near my building so I can get all the weird snacks I want in amounts less likely to get me in trouble!

I have noticed that mine hasn't had frozen tilapia filets for like a month or more. I've started getting the mahi mahi instead, they're good but the filets are like 7oz when a serving size is 4oz and that annoys the hell out of me.

My cat prefers an ever-rotating selection of boxes from Costco. Perfect for ambushing the dog.

I’ve been doing a Kirkland cold brew and an Aussie bite and a few pieces of fruit for breakfast lately. They’re really nice.

I'm so mad Costco stopped carrying unsweetened cold brew. It's such a pain to have a huge jug and filter in my fridge or in the counter, and the tetrapaks especially were so convenient to keep in my locker at work
