4505 chicharrones are an amazing, and I'm glad that I can buy the family size at Costco for my snacking needs.

Just add salt to whatever you're cooking, no point in paying extra for salt in your butter.

Tajin sounds like an interesting flavor for them, my local only ever has the red bag, the basic chili and salt. I love them though and can easily eat the entire bag in one sitting if I don't limit myself.

Micheladas are of course extremely popular, but I prefer to use my Tajin in a cantaritos. I use an añejo tequila because I think it works better with the clay cups, but whatever you have on hand will do the trick.

We had that combination for dinner last week, with shredded brisket on top. So good, especially for the price and convenience.

Ordered a years worth of HVAC filters. The flyer said $10 off a 3 pack but it was actually $20 off a 4 pack. Pbuc

drat, I wish 4 filters would last a year for me. This house is so dusty that even after having the ducts cleaned the 3M filters Costco sells last about a month before they restrict the flow too much.

The mini naan dipped into fondue is insanely good. Also probably 200 calories per dipper, but worth it.

an aeropress and a grinder is literally all the coffee gear you need. instead of getting a better brewing appliance, get a better grinder and a fun mug. maybe a nice kettle if you really want to go wild

Who wants to deal with making one cup at a time though? I used one for a bit, and pretty quickly gave up because it's a pain to do it every single time you want more coffee. I went back to my 20 year old Krupp drip that goes into an insulated carafe, and just make one pot a day.

I miss the bulgogi bakes, the carne asada ones were also really nice.

Never cared for the chicken bakes; they are basically a tube of warm ranch with some chicken in them, and that's nasty imo.

Are the Kirkland Signature soups good? I want to get the Broccoli Cheddar and Chicken Tortilla unless they’re cheap and bland.

Picked up a giant container of chicken noodle soup from the deli, it was pretty good. Insane amount of shredded chicken, probably 25% of the entire container was chicken. Decent amount of noodles, could have used more veggies. Well seasoned, with a very generous amount of black pepper in there which helps a lot.

I'm thinking about going back to grab another one to portion and freeze.

The Märzen is better, but the Festbier in that can is good. My partner grabbed me one a couple weeks ago, and it made me wish she had picked up two or three of them.

Anyone try these pupusas?



We like them a lot, but we also cook them in a skillet instead of microwaving them. Our usual (very much non traditional) method of eating them at home is to put something like carnitas, lettuce, guacamole, and cheese on top, and then pick them up and eat them kind of like an open faced sandwich.

The chicken in the taco kit is better, but the quesadilla is 80% chicken so you get a lot more of it.

The second biggest reason why I'm fat is because I toss 20 of them on a sheet pan to bake and have that for dinner on a regular basis. I can fit as many as 24, but 20 works better.

Any good snacks or holiday items at Costco to keep an eye out for? My wife is going tomorrow. I think other people mentioned the Thornton one near top golf, it's my "local" one, but still about 20 minutes away.

If you like the flavor, the pumpkin spice yogurt covered pretzels are really good, and really bad for you.

The last couple of times I've been they've had signs out front that there are no eggs. I guess that giant chicken factory they just built in Kansas or Nebraska or something like that is just for cooked chickens.

I don’t really like that article because they’re like “yeah this card is actually pretty good for using at CostCo, but if you have these other very specific cards you could get 2.5%!!!”

They are advertising other cards because they get a commission from everyone so signs up using their link. The Costco card could be 10% back and they would still push people into getting other cards for the commission.
