Buy the big pack of costco kitchen rags.

Use those instead of paper towels. Wash them as they get dirty.

There. fixed the problem. I haven't bought paper towels in like 3 years now.

Hell yeah to this plan. Having a big pack of Terry cloth is the ideal. Dirty, wash, too dirty? Toss.

I use em for everything including pet messes and honestly even after like 5 years total? in use I haven't had to throw any away. I've bleached the stains out of them twice. Eventually when they do get bad enough ill use em as paint rags.

I was wary but i finally bought the fit crunch bars today. Theyre legitimately the best protein bar ive ever had.

Been having a hard time eating at all and getting something that gets some calories and protein in me that tastes good is nice.

Went to costco yesterday and they still dont have peanut butter pretzals back at my location. :(

holy poo poo though. I went tuesday at like 11:30am thinking "ok it will be slower" NOPE every single checker lane open with likes 4-5 people deep each.

Luckily they had everything else I wanted and I picked up the k street food potato corn dog things. Just a mozzarella stick enveloped in corn dog dough and potato. Honestly not bad with dipping sauce.

We have a costco business center pretty equi distant from us vs regular costco so we tend to do business costco like every 5th time. Mainly because there's some perishables they sell there that are really just too big for us to use up in time or store in an appropriate way. But for non perishables they rule. also they have all the baked goods convenience stores sell so if you get a craving for like 30 honey buns they got you covered.

Those breaded frozen chicken chunks are truly a new staple. I found Panda Express sells all their sauces now at grocery stores and I tossed them in their Orange Chicken sauce. So good.

The bare naked ones are really nice because they're the only breaded chicken product ive found with no alliums so we can actually use them in my house. Its a great shortcut food for so much other stuff. I really really hope they dont stop selling them ever.

lol everyone says something like that every time I mention it but honestly its just like being allergic to any other pervasive ingredient. Ended up making us a lot healthier since almost all fast food is no longer a choice.

Real pain though when favorites get changed. The costco lobster and cheese ravioli used to be allium free then like 2 years ago they changed them and i wanted to cry.

Got the cookies and cream mini cakes.

The cake itself is good but the top reminds me of oreo cream and has to be mostly scraped off. Worth it though.

There's a specific sickening sweetness to the oreo filling that im not super into and not all cookies and cream things taste quite like that.

I bought the wrong bag of coffee on my last costco trip so I wanted to make a super quick trip to return the coffee, get the right coffee and pick up some flour.

so obviously no cart, going through costco as fast as possible and my husband says "oh lets get some of that australian licorice" so we grab 2 bags of that. then we pass the bakery and "oh lets get some banana nut bread"

so by the time we get to self check out i have 20lbs of flour + 2 licorice, husband has the 3lbs of coffee + banana nut bread and the self check out guy is all "YOU KNOW WE HAVE CARTS" and im like "BUDDY THE CARTS MAKE EVERYTHING SLOWER I GOTTA GET OUTA HERE" and hes all "maybe we should offer skateboards, jeeze"


anyway, fastest trip ever, a++ plus i got some functional weight lifting in.

luckily i bought a box right before they must have discontinued them though so i got like another year of clothes softener to go.

I went to the seattle sodo costco this morning for the first time and - as hosed up parking lots go holy gently caress that thing is hosed up. They split the parking lot in a weird way to protect people from like hitting cars exiting the tire center.

I used to rank the lynnwood business center as the worst but sodo takes the cake. Tukwila is weird but at least the mobility getting in and out and around isnt hampered too bad.

I got the blueberry lemon loaf and im very excited to have some later.

this is my Costco and it sucks rear end. I love it

I went at 11am and every single spot was taken and people were vulturing the parking lot so bad that it was clogging up any ability to drive around. We were about to give up and just go home when a spot opened up near the back of the lot.

Is it always like that? jesus

Hello thread, I’m probably late to the party, but the Kirkland bacon, egg, and cheese frozen croissant sandwich’s are fantastic. Wrap it in a paper towel, 1:30 in the microwave, and breakfast is handled.

I do both the croissant breakfast pastry and the bacon egg and cheese croissant sandwich in our toaster oven together at 325 for 10 minutes for perfection. Husband and I have a fancier feeling breakfast a few times a week that way :3

I remember someone mentioned they thought pbfit powder was going away: i think they just changed the packaging. I saw it today and it was in a bag instead of a jar.

finally running out of the costco plastic wrap roll that i feel like we have had for pushing a decade. got a new 2 pack. heres to another 20 yrs

I seriously bought one pack like 10+ years ago and I feel like I absolutely havent made a dent. I even gave the other roll to someone else or split the cost or something at the time. It basically only gets used for proofing baguettes though.

It really sucks that there is such a variance between Costco tire centers because once again I brought them 4 loose wheels and they installed my tires on them no problem, chill, chatted about what they were going on, just a nice, pleasant group.

I wonder if there's a big regional difference if you live somewhere that needs seasonal tire changes vs not. Like getting an appointment at discount tire here to get your tire changes to snow tires and off is a multi week wait usually so i doubt costco would just be like yeah sure.

there is absolutely nothing in costco worth sampling instead of just buying and the clusterfuck situation around the sample carts makes shopping actively worse. sample time is a terrible time

I actively avoid sample carts and days because it attracts the most obnoxious humans on earth. lemme just block the whole loving aisle. I dont even know how they do it. the aisles are like 3 carts wide at least and sometimes one person will manage to block the whole thing and then be a dick when you're like "hey excuse me can I get by" like how dare I disrupt their bliss of eating a bite of chip

nah its happening in seattle already too. Like the shoreline WA location is bagged as of the last time i was there.

Its less plastic used overall so technically somewhat more environmentally friendly. I guess baby steps in the whole grand scheme of eating tens of millions of factory farmed chickens and all that.

I tried it. It was mediocre. I tried all the cooking methods on the bag - both frying pan and microwave. If you've only ever had mediocre kebab its probably fine but if you live somewhere with good kebab it doesnt compare.

god I hate foods that are sweet for no good reason, then you look at the nutritional content and see it has 8g of added sugar in something that's ostensibly completely savory

I lost a lot of weight when we discovered a pretty pervasive allergy in our house and had to start making things from scratch and only buy base ingredients for things and i maintain that its because almost all the premade poo poo is chocked full of sugar. And the worst is when they add fake sugar for no reason. Stevia tastes like rear end. Monk fruit tastes like rear end. Aspartame runs through my rear end. Stop adding sugar to poo poo that doesnt need sugar!!!!!!

I love the breakfast croissants - the cheese and ham ones. Eggs gently caress up my gut so its like the one breakfast item that comes prepackaged that i can have with out having to wing something into the compost. Its a nice little treat sometimes and they cook so nicely in the air fryer.

You know what is good as hell and I love?

The tempura shrimp.

Make a little stir fry and a little rice and throw some of those bad boys on there and its perfect. the sauce packs with it are decent too, just mix in a little gochugang to spice it up.
