I would assume 'peace be upon costco', a reference to the ubiquitous Muslim honorific: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/peace_be_upon_him

No it's Praise Be.... because John Oliver came out with his own religion at the time and so I started saying praise be all the time.

At least I'm pretty sure.

This is how we get our own Sunni/Shia split I'm pretty sure.

All are welcome under the single wearhouse church roof of Costco.

edit: I checked the old thread and the first instance of "praise be" was by me in 2017.

Let the sacred scrolls be recorded appropriately.

Jesus christ. Salted butter is just butter with salt in it. I've seen no mass difference in salt levels in the salted butter I've had. In my entire life. I'm sure it's pretty standard now. Or at least they'll list it.

Adding salted butter to your food? Well, just loving account for that lol. Don't add more salt. Salted butter is absolutely not super salty.

Camping gear at mine started going on closeout a few weeks ago at my warehouse. I'm in the lower Midwest where camping season is basically April-early October. Clothing and seasonal items are fall oriented now.

After finally getting to take out the sleeping pad I bought there on closeout a few weeks ago, I can safely say that I do not recommend the cascade sleeping pad. Admittedly, I am comparing it to my spouse's Big Agnes sleeping pad that was $100+ new and mine was $29.97, but I'm not a fan. I'm going to keep it for if I get into backpacking or have friends who need to borrow gear but I'll be going to REI to test a better sleep system before my next trip.

It's a pain in the rear end to deflate and pack into the stuff sack with the individual connected pillows rather than one with large/long channels. I am 5'4" 160lbs and it bottomed out on me when I was side sleeping, yet was oddly stiff at the same time. It's hard to access the air valve to let out a little bit of air to make it less stiff because it's on the underside of the pad, not the top. I didn't think the 23 inch width would be much different than the spouse's 25 inch pad but I felt cramped, the extra inch on each side counts.

I got this one a while back. I think I only used it once but it was nice and inexpensive. Excellent reviews.

I slept on a Thermarest self-inflating one for a year as my bed. It was great but very expensive and once it developed a hole I couldn't find it.

Finally went to the 'co after maybe 6+ months. I picked up my $340 visa return. Spent $270 though. At the last second I remembered to put it on my card for the rewards and not use the cash they gave me.

I left with a 4 pack of pepper spray. I'm not sure why but it was there and WI has the strictest laws in the country regarding pepper spray so I grabbed it. :shrug:

Nice, I see it. https://www.samsclub.com/p/woozoo-by-iris-usa-remote-controlled-oscillating-circulating-desktop-fan-black/P03004134?xid=plp_product_1. Looks like a slightly different model from what the button layout looks like but probably just as good.

I really like it, much better than any $40 Vornado would have been. I'm just using it to create a gentle breeze though, not turning it on full blast.

The one I saw was set up and blowing. It was a white version and I saw you could make it pan horizontally or vertically. It was powerful for being so tiny. It was $30 here.

I don't bring my own bags to costco because the items are so large I could fit like two FitCrunch bar containers in one and it's full.

I just ask for a box and they always do a pretty good job of making it somewhat easy to transport.

I was at my cousin's/cousin-in-law's birthday party and they had walking tacos. I didn't eat any due to physical issues but they had like 30 of them and they said they got them from costco. The people there liked them a lot but thought they were too big.

I got those frozen enchiladas that were on sale in the last mailer when I went a week or two ago and they were pretty good I think. I was very drunk when eating all of them. You get 6 of them packaged in convenient 2 packs. They were pretty good and I threw some of the 505 on them.

You aren't talking about the Realgood lowcarb ones are you? I hope not, because those are universally panned as being terrible. You must have been absolutely shitfaced if you thought they were good.

No they weren't low carb or anything. At least I don't remember that and god drat they were messy.

I was, however, absolutely poo poo faced. I guess I'll have to look up what they were.

quick edit: can't find them on the website. They had a blue/teal box I think.

I've had kimchi once before when I was like 16 that my friend's (a goon) mom (Korean) made. I don't remember liking it but my palate has increased dramatically with age.
