Is Costco doing samples again yet? When I was younger and lived literally next door to the world's largest costco my saturday breakfast was always costco samples and I miss them dearly :(

Yes and I hate it. It really sucks to try and shop, especially in the snack section, because the aisles are already only 4' wide or so and I get sick of navigating around wide-eyed "oh fruit by the foot I wonder what this exotic delicacy tastes like" crowds. The best thing about the pandemic was the removal of the sample stations.

Call me a heretic, but I'd trade onion dispenser for removal of all sample stations in a goddamned heartbeat.

Now they just hand out sealed, pre-packaged things as I deliberate whether it is worth diving into Night of the Living Dead for a box of granola bars.

Edit: sorry, sex master, for being a grump and destroying your memories.

Nah it's cool - I don't expect everyone to agree with me, just most people ;)

but I actually do agree that the onion dispenser > all. Idk what it is about those particular onions, but they just work for Costco hot dogs

Yeah, I don’t know why people use Costco Tires. Always so expensive even for a get the 4th tire free deal (which is just routine sort of deal). Maybe the quality is better? They just seem to be name brand tires that you can get anywhere.

I tend to go to neighborhood shops run by Korean families and they give me a great deal. And the tires are fine.

Their warranty sold me, and also I know like 70% of places are gonna have a Costco nearby whereas if I go somewhere else there's no guarantee that they're gonna have a place to use the warranty for me

I generally love Costco samples in the before times but the absolute worst one I've ever had was microwaved breaded calamari

I was like 12 or some poo poo and had never had any sort of calamari before and let me tell you I learned that day that calamari should never be microwaved. It was like chewing on a tire but somehow less tasty

Pretty sure that didn't last long at Costco

you dont need to be a member of costco to go to the food court right? so really if youre nearby to a costco already and need lunch it would be extremely irresponsible to eat anywhere else

Honestly you can always say "I'm going to the membership counter" and then head off to the food court because they're usually near each other

I've done it before even though I'm a member

but become one of us

become free

I need to go to Costco for needs but I have wants:

Needs:
Toilet paper
Paper towels
Dishwasher pods (seriously someone gave my ex dishwasher pods last year before the pandemic took hold and I just ran out this week)

Wants:

New pots and pans set
New plates (If they have them)
Vitamix
Probably some baking stuff? Idk
And probably like 16 other things I will want and will take all my energy not to get

Why must I be responsible :cry:

Slightly different but I bought a 7000 series Philips/norelco beard trimmer a while back and it had wear parts that weren't considered replaceable units. It fell apart after less than 5 battery cycles.

Replaced it with a much cheaper Wahl that has a similar part break but Wahl actually sell a replacement *at retail* for $15 and the replacement part has been going strong since as it's the part for a much higher end trimmer.

I got a Wahl last year and I have charged it exactly once

The battery life on that poo poo is insane!

The pro move is to get the dog first and eat it before shopping so you’re not hungry while looking at impulse buy food items.

Jeebus. Now using the long hose is going to join the zipper merge with "things I know I'm doing correctly but people are going to give me the stink-eye over." Sigh.

Anyone know when beef prices are coming down? My Costco strip loin (prime) was about 50% more expensive than usual, the other day.

Depends on when inflation eases. The Fed is confident this is temporary but we should know in about 3-6 months whether it's started to ease or not

Meat prices aren’t up because of general inflation they’re up because of labor shortages in the meat packing industry, demand surging due to restaurants reopening, and big increases in the cost of corn and soybean feed.
