Just got back from Costco.

They started putting out the autumn displays, which included two redneck skeletons playing the banjo.

I was able to hear that poo poo from across the entire store. Just, William Tell and dueling banjos for a solid hour.

Self checkout owns because most of the general public still finds them confusing to use so the lines are always shorter.

Too bad the general public is dumb as hell so you wind up getting stuck behind a gaggle of boomers who takes 10 minutes to scan 3 items. Also, and this is a general rule for all self checkout spaces everywhere, the self checkout registers have their sensitivity cranked down real low. So even if you know what you're doing, it still takes forever. I get that it's meant to prevent double scanning but I find it pretty irritating.

My costco pulls are too big for self checkout anyway.

Costco was selling these $13 painting kits. Couple of brushes, rollers, paint trays, you know the deal. I had most of that stuff already but I knew we'd be painting and can always do with more. Really I just wanted the painters tool since I didn't have one and got tired of my screwdrivers getting covered in paint from opening cans.

Wow folks. The brushes were legit. Far better than the more expensive ones I already had. Totally worth the money.

What are the absolute top tier family entrees from costco? I'm married with kids and sometimes want to just take something from the freezer and put it in the oven. I love the lasagne but my wife is getting sick of it. And what are the best frozen chicken breasts/nuggets? are any of them not reconstituted meat? The Tyson ones are.

The plastic boxes of fresh ravioli/tortellini. They come in 2 packs, one feeds 3 with reasonable portions so if you have hungry teenagers I'd just make both packs.

Tonight I made the butternut squash ravioli and it was real good. Mixed it with some brown butter and sage for a 5 minute dinner.

I told this story in the last Costco thread, but my family had one of those plastic wrap rolls that lasted us 11 years.

Same but I don't know on the actual length of time.

What I do remember is that my parents bought it when they first got their original Price Club membership, and I was in college when it finally ran out. The empty space on the counter where it used to be was unfamiliar and uncomfortable.

To this day, it still feels wrong when I look at that spot and don't see that faded, blue box.

They had a bunch here in my Denver Costco. I didn't realize you were looking for one in store, I thought you were just saying you were going to get it. I didn't look that close but I'm sure it was a Disney Xmas village thing like that. I saw it, said 'oh its the thing the goon wants' looked at the price and walked off. That thing is expensive!

PM me if you want me to be your private shopper I guess. Wouldn't be the first time.

ohhHhhHHHh I might take you up on that. I'm gonna hit up a few local costcos first though, I'd hate to be a bother. That being said it's the first time I'm bringing this thing up so I dunno who you're thinking of.

My wife is a big ole Disney weirdo so to her it's worth the money, and it saves me the stress of figuring out a birthday present. So you know what, it's fine, I don't care, we're adults, I've wasted more money on dumber poo poo it's fine.

Since I know this thread just loves wastes of money, I stopped by my local Costco and they had put out a giant pallet of the musical Christmas Disney castles I was asking about. I grabbed one and left with nothing else in what was my fastest Costco trip in history. Didn't even stop for a dog (because there's still no onions or deli mustard)

Here you're given an option between Kiosk or counter.

Kiosk is objectively better, but the one down side is that while you're ordering you're forced to listen to boomers complain how hard it is to tap a picture of the food they want to eat.

For those kid havers out there, what are some good baby shower gifts? As in, what stuff did you find to be the most useful or whatever. Supposedly the kirkland diapers are pretty good?

Just be aware that some people are fiercely loyal to certain diaper brands, but you can probably get away with it being that it's probably their first back. Also agreeing with whoever said to get a bigger size.

You also can't go wrong with clothes. Same as diapers, get a few sizes up. It lessens the pain of having to buy your baby a whole new wardrobe every six months in the beginning.

Honestly you could knock out a Shepard's pie at home in like 40 minutes. It's very easy.

Come to think of it, you could probably cook one faster from scratch than it takes to warm up the Costco one. Although it's more work and probably more money in ingredients. I still like the Costco one for an easy dinner though.
