Slotducks posted:they'll slowly phase that out - it'll go from 8 attendants to 6 to 4 to 2 over the course of a few months - it's soft conditioning the folk to getting used to self checkout. They’ve had self-checkout for years, though. There was a period where they shut down those lanes because there was too much loss associated with it, so I have a feeling the workers are there to prevent theft as opposed to making things go faster.

skipdogg posted:I don’t care for the Kirkland brand “bath tissue”. It’s super linty. Ymmv though I’ve heard they source from several places depending on region and you may get a different supplier where you live. Yes, there are at least two vastly different Kirkland TP sold under the same name. My region gets the bad kind

PokeJoe posted:that stupid crate pinched me just picking it up from the display, i cant imagine owning one. are they really worth it I bought one to try it out. If you fill it with typical CostCo products (lots of liquid - wine bottles, 505, etc) it feels like it’s going to catastrophically explode when you’re carrying it. I’m not super impressed with it, but I guess it’s handy that it folds up. I’m pretty sure my reusable plastic bags are 100x more durable.

ShowTime posted:Kibun's Healthy Noodles are back to an affordable price, but I think it's because they are being discontinued. They are ending in .97, which means they are gone for good, right? Or just gone for a certain amount of time? They used to be under $10, then got marked up to $18 and now they are back down to $9.97. I'd recommend them if you want a low carb, low calorie noodle substitute. Just add a little butter and Italian herbs and you have a delicious side item that's only about 150 calories, 0 carbs, super tasty and filling. Aw man, I just tried a package of those and was going to make it a staple.

Yeah those healthy noodles are great for a quick Asian dish. Frozen stir fry vegetables + noodles + tofu + some kind of sauce. Quick, easy, and won’t kill you.

Jingleheimer posted:You can probably walk up and get it but you might have to wait a bit, it's definitely better to schedule an appointment. You can fill out most of the info online so that makes it a little faster. Pharmacies have staffing issues just like any other place. All the walk ins they get put more stress on them on most days where they already have too much on their plates. Yeah, I was in the other day at the pharmacy and overheard a lot of people trying (and failing) to do walk-up appointments. Keep in mind that the vaccine is frozen, so they have to prepare ahead of time to have doses available, and they can’t refreeze it.

Strong Convections posted:The take and bakes aren't even the same size as the food court pizzas - you'd never fit one in a standard kitchen oven - not to mention the toppings are different. You sure about that? I remember the take and bakes being enormous. I figured they just made them in the morning in the food court and boxed them up for sale.

Vertically transporting TVs was really important for plasmas because the screen could delaminate if you drove it around when it was laying down. I’ve never heard of that being a thing for LCDs/OLEDs.

skipdogg posted:Watched a YT video about Costco’s sales and these people had Pulmuone brand Kimchi (zero g’s) at their Costco in Indiana. Have they been forsaken the one true kimchi? We have the Two Gs, however in the recent past I believe it was some other brand. I think I kicked off this whole meme when I asked people to clarify which brand was the good one because we've had mixups with regional variations in the past.

Some of that liquid is probably due to all the saline they inject:Consumer Reports posted:Costco’s rotisserie chicken has 460 mg of sodium per 3-ounce serving. That’s one-fifth of the maximum amount of sodium adults should consume in a day (2,300 mg).

Solestado Muffuletta Olive Salad - I noticed they weren’t carrying the “That Pickle Guy” brand for this anymore (that one has a crude drawing of a man wearing a barrel on a GeoCities-rear end label). I’m not sure I like this one as much. It’s chopped very coarsely with annoyingly variably sized pieces. I can’t shake the feeling that something is a bit “off” with it (not sure if it’s the oil they use or what). Next time I use it I’ll try chopping it finer first. Kirkland Signature New Zealand Grassfed Butter - Bought this on a whim instead of the Kerrygold. It’s not as soft, that’s for sure. Not sure I like it as much.

Ended up going to CostCo at 10:15 today because I got my eyes dilated at a vision exam and couldn’t read a monitor anyway. How are there so many people at CostCo mid-morning on a Tuesday!!! Mainly there to pick up prescriptions but I also refilled the Jongga

Hasselblad posted:I am full body sweating just thinking about it. Mattresses breath from the bottom. If you go foam, you really want a European style bed frame with slats instead of a completely solid base. Also memory foam gets warm as it compresses but latex doesn’t. I have a couch with memory foam cushions and it sucks in the summer.

Ineffiable posted:The pro move is to get the citi Costco card. It gives another 2% back on most Costco stuff and you'll get 4% on gas. I actually get a bigger refund from my credit card rewards than my Costco rewards. I use that card for all my gas & restaurant purchases, but there’s some min-max hack about using different cards at CostCo. I mean, I don’t bother and just use the Citi, but there’s a Wirecutter article about it. I think the point of the article is that branded cards often don’t give you max rewards for that brand, since you’re already a fan and don’t need a massive incentive to buy their stuff.

Ineffiable posted:Normally I'd agree but the citi gives 2% at Costco (plus 4% gas, that's a real big key part) and it has no annual fee. It gives you great percentage back for no annual fee. The only reason I have an Amex is that it was the previous CostCo card. At this point I only use it for groceries, but even with 6% I’m not sure I come out ahead compared to the no-fee version that gives 3%.

Has CostCo ever sold that shelf stable tofu that comes in little bricks? I usually get that because the amount of tofu in one package is more appropriate for how I use it. Would be nice to buy a 6 or 12 pack. Edit: I think the brand I buy is Mori-Nu

Same for mine, curious if there are regional variations or if they’ve ever carried the shelf stable ones sexy tiger boobs posted:If you're looking for cloth-like paper towels there's this other awesome product you should check out. They're called towels, made of cloth. You can wash em and reuse them too! As a Swede I must point out that that you barbaric Americans (I’m now one too, I’m allowed to say that) need to learn about sponge cloths. I hate using towels for wiping up stuff because they get saturated and you just end up pushing water around. Sponge cloths are vastly superior because you can just wring them out and keep going.

You have to follow their instructions very carefully, and even then there’s always a sliver that sticks to the package.

Zachack posted:We ran out of Kerrygold so we went to our Costco and they didn't have any. Supposedly there's a grass-fed Kirkland butter that's very similar but it wasn't where the Kerrygold was (with the other butters). Does Costco put fancy butter somewhere else now? You’re thinking of the Kirkland grass-fed New Zealand butter. I don’t think it’s all that similar really, it’s way harder than the Kerrygold. I’m not raving Kerrygold fan but I do think it’s better.

I wholeheartedly do not recommend the dehydrated mushroom medley I thought it would be good for soups and stuff but it’s full of inedible woody stems. Maybe if you boiled the absolute poo poo out of just the mushrooms and then blended it you might be able to consume it. Right now I’m left with a batch of soup that I’m considering throwing out
