Last year my sister went to a 4th of July block party that had a mac and cheese competition.

She used Costco mac and cheese and just added bacon and won.

:ninja:

I used to work at a very expensive pasta themed restaurant where we made all of the different kinds of pasta in house. You could also buy our pasta to go and make at home. It really was all home made, except for the tortellinis, which we just got from costco and shamefully sold as our own. They were extremely popular lol.

The whole reason I renewed my US card was to go to the Costco in Iceland while on vacation and it worked perfectly, they’re supposed to work everywhere.

Iceland’s food court is 10 times better, they have a barbecue chicken combo slice, cheeseburger, and gelato. Tried them all, two thumbs way up.

what the gently caress

why does our food court have to suck rear end

I made the mistake of buying this. It was a mistake because I have no self control with these and usually eat way too many.

These things are utterly insane. I used to work somewhere they always had a tub of em in the break room and I was such a greedly little poo poo for them

And this was the BJs brand. I shudder to think of the demonic magic the kirkland signature ones possess

You don't need a membership for any Costco Pharmacy in any country. You will however need Cash/Debit/Visa/GiftCard for any copay, so don't expect to waltz in with a Mastercard: https://customerservice.costco.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/796/~/do-i-need-a-membership-to-purchase-prescription-drugs%3F

They have the best generics, and also had the largest selection of Covid vaccines with the lowest lines of all places I checked including CVS and the VA.

How does it work that places like costco and walmart can sell generic meds for like $10 without insurance while you go to somewhere like CVS and it's over $100?

Do you tip the gas pumper?

No, but I avoid full service pumps whenever possible. There are a couple towns in MA which mandate them and frankly it's not my problem when I'm forced to work there.

Years ago when I was strapped for cash I would shop at Costco without a cart. I would only buy whatever I could carry to the register.

Whenever I try this I end up with more than I can carry and have to do the walk of shame back to the carts.

how does anyone even go to the food court it's probably the most complicated and hectic restaurant in town, same with the gas station, i went there for the first time today and it's like why, is the gas really good or something

The gas is like 20 cents a gallon cheaper than anywhere else where I live. As for the food court the pizza is amazing for the price point.

I don’t normally hit up the food court because I have a toddler and he’s on the verge of losing it by the time we’re checking out. Just tried a chicken bake for the first time since I keep seeing people mention it here and assumed it was just chicken and cheese in a crust. Here’s my trip report: it’s disgusting and I tossed it after three bites.

just had my first costco run, takeaways:

- they didn't have dick for sparkling water today but tbh my favorite kind is the target generic so that may be a no-go lol
- somehow I didn't find oat milk anywhere? I may be blind
- they did have my favorite cereal and the fig bars that I like at an incredible discount from standard grocery prices so I got two months worth of each for a grand total of like sixty bucks
- didn't hit the food court because my guts have been fucky all day
- gonna have to get some of those thin-sliced frozen chicken breasts after I run out of mine because drat

in conclusion: PBUC

saw this as well and was tempted but I have had like a shitton of pizza in the past week so I decided tonight was not the night. hoping it's good when I try it because I love detroit-style deep dish but the last two times I've tried it frozen have been... I would hesitate to call a frozen pizza "traumatic" but the digiorno deep dish I tried with the pan you bake it in was so dogshit I couldn't even finish a slice
Don’t worry! I’m a frozen pizza aficionado and this stuff was really good.
