I need some kind of indoor-outdoor lined flannel/thermal/hoodie, anything I should look for? Aiming for a men's since theirs are usually so much higher quality, but the downside it has to go up to a 3x since they don't build in chest room. I'm not a Costco habitué but I'm getting a chance to go with a friend tomorrow, so teach me your ways

Is the ice cream the chewy kind, like at Cold Stone? If you're not used to that, I could understand it feeling fake and gummy even though it can be premium/real

For all the deep freezer/chest freezer owners, have you ever had any issues with extended power loss? Are some models better at holding temp if kept shut during a nasty winter storm/outage?

I remember a while back talking about it with my dad, and he remembers growing up in the midwest every couple of years the winter storms would kill the power for long enough that the storage freezer would thaw and they had to throw everything out, so he doesn't believe in storing frozen food like that.
I don’t know what they were up to in the midwest, but here in New England, if we lose power due to a snowstorm, we simply put the frozen things in a snowbank

(Actually that’s a good way to get raccoons, but we definitely put them in unheated garages, barns, summer porches, etc. But it’s pretty amazing to look out at a major snowstorm and say “there’s no way we can keep food from thawing, better trash it all”)

Ice-cold water up my rear end in a top hat is literal torture. Running an electric line and an outlet and keeping water hot 24/7 for a hot-water bidet is a degenerate level of decadence. I’m good with Charmin thanks

They have 25% of your fiber RDA in one bar. Stepping up your fiber will do that until you get used to it. More fiber is almost always good, but it takes a little while to adjust

https://www.bonappetit.com/story/why-costco-rotisserie-chicken-taste-soapy

pretty damning exposé about the true cost of cheap costco chicken. makes you wonder what kind of horrible poo poo they put in the hotdogs to keep costs down

what a bunch of monsters
I’m gonna go ahead and guess that if the soapy taste is only happening to an incredibly tiny minority of chickens, it’s not about a systemic issue at the chicken farm or processing plant or anything else. It’s probably occasional busy kitchen randos in the back of a store who clean something and then forget to change their gloves before grabbing a chicken. :ms:

It’s not cute but it is way cheaper and at least as effective as, if not better than, commercial air purifiers. The “Corsi” guy is the dean of engineering at UC Davis and probably not a huge moron.

I'm gonna be that guy for a second, sorry, but if you're buying rotisserie chickens with any frequency,
I’m not, I’m actually a big sneak. I don’t have a Costco membership because there are no Costcos around here, but I can go a couple times a year when I’m visiting family for holidays, or I can occasionally ask them to pick up something for me.

I do keep the bones and make stock when I roast chickens, but I go through it faster than that this time of year. Also the beef BtB as Soul Dentist said.

The Le Creuset thing is not a great deal because only like 4 pieces are actual cast iron. The rest is stoneware, where you’re just paying for the brand name rather than any special quality.

Snuck into Costco with my honorary aunt, got out again with two huge things of Better than Bouillon, some vitamins, one of those mini waffle maker sets, and a bag of roasted AND SKINNED!!! hazelnuts for baking. And those gorgeous huge vanilla beans. King poo poo.

I’m hoping to sneak back in at Thanksgiving and probably drop $80 on one of those giant fur rugs if they still have them

I don't normally go in for chocolate 'cluster' type snacks since most have almonds or nuts. Saw the Kirkland Caramel Smores and decided to try, "kettle cooked caramel" was unique enough to catch my eye.

Holy poo poo, is this just straight up crack cocaine level good, I'm not a huge caramel person in general but this is like real actual strong caramel flavor going on as opposed to just mass of sugary texture.

I just had my first Sanders caramels of the year, and they were…extremely average. I feel betrayed. They’re so much thinner than they used to be that the ratio is off and you only taste chocolate. Did people not want a 1” cube that was 300 calories????

I always think a churro sounds good but then I contemplate a dry-rear end churro vs. an ice cream. If the churros came with a little pot of dark hot fudge, it would have changed the game.

How'd they get the cart in the first place though, saying someone uses it as a walker (hello my SO's grandmother) doesn't change the fact that the arrive at the store sans cart.
My mom deliberately parks near carts in the parking lot, like next to the cart that’s chilling by itself on an island.
