Any tips on improving the rotisserie chicken? Great price, decent taste, but the greasiness is kinda off-putting. Can it be thrown whole into the oven and rebaked to improve this, or do I need to separate the meat from the carcass first? On another note, got gas, used the tire pump for the first time (fast and sweet), and picked up way too much Tikka masala haha I kid there's no such thing as too much Indian food

I spent the least amount of money in any of my visits ever at Costco last night. Some hummus and carrots came out to around $14. Even a food court trip only pushed my purchase up to $21. So this upcoming Sunday husband and I are going to the Business Center in Fife to give a proper tithing (and to get supplies for some parties we want to do in the near future).

shopping with Kroger is supporting Ohio you monster don't worry though prodigal child, Costco will always welcome you back with open arms and $1.50 hot dog and soda seriouspost: if you shop supermarkets enough to get good gas discounts then sure go buck wild, but I'd rather get that 4% back on my credit card (plus the Costco in my area is typically 30-60c cheaper than anywhere else so YMMV)

Picked up two of the Winix air purifiers this last weekend, one for our bedroom and one for husband's WFH office. Trying to be prepared for allergy season, and also when a good chunk of Washington, British Columbia etc. is on fire again. Pretty quiet machine, definitely feels fresher in each room so I'm happy. Plus I had a good laugh last night when my husband farted in his sleep and the sensor went red and kicked on for about 10 minutes. Those air purifiers are moving fast though, half the pallet was empty when I found them. Also bought like 5 polo shirts and matching shorts cause I was sick of all my old spring/summer attire.

Fatrick posted:We've been looking to get a purifier and had our eye on that. Please update with trip report Another Winix user here. One for the bedroom, one for my husband's home office. They work great, we've had a few recent fires in Washington state, but in our bedroom and the office you wouldn't even know it. Our living room however is noticeably less fresh. Also since we started using them, I don't wake up and immediately start sneezing like I did when we had no purifiers.

One of my favorite things is when you buy something at Costco and the register clerk's eyes get big and go "Whoa I didn't even know we had that!" and you know they're going to buy it themselves once they're off work

Nfcknblvbl posted:Why are they doing this? Are there really that many customers showing up to the register forgetting their cards? Maybe that. But they're cracking down on people borrowing memberships and/or not being authorized on the primary account. Haven't seen it at the ones in WA that I frequent yet (Tukwila, Federal Way, Silverdale) but they want your $60/$120 yearly membership fee, and they don't get that when you use your Aunt Tilda's card

I use the Citi card for the 4% gas, 3% restaurant and travel, and 2% 'Co purchases. Anything else I use my credit union's card which is 1.5% cash back. I don't care about your bonus air miles of whatever, I pay no fees and that's good enough for me. I don't even use my card that often but booking trips through Costco Travel and getting a lot of gas adds up quickly

Taima posted:You're a traveler and don't care about free trips and hotel stays? Fair enough friend. All is accepted in the church. I mean that's good to know, I only have two credit cards, I've not traveled outside the US in 20+ years (not counting an ill-fated cruise to Mexico), and I'm a lazy gently caress. If I plan any real trips I'd probable consider going this route. Anyway, back to church chat, the Issaquah location scanning cards was big enough that it hit the local Seattle newscast on KIRO, our CBS affiliate. Betting this rolls out to all Costco locations by Easter

Another happy Discount Tire customer chiming in, they're worth it. I'll go to Costco for 90% of things I need, but I've used DT for years and they've been consistently good, which as evidenced in this thread Costco can be a crapshoot.

Sloppy posted:What's the star of death, a notice of discontinuing? I love Aussie Bites! Yup. Quick Costco price tag primer: A * near the price means item won't be restocked once it's gone Green colored price signs are organic products Items on sale / discounted end in 7 or 0 (e.g. XX.97 or XX.50) Manager markdowns end in .88 or .00 - can mean anything from a newer model is coming in, trying to push product that isn't selling well, returned item that is still salable, etc.

All the nitrogen pump talk made me check my tires and I was around 7 PSI lower than I should be on each one. Thankfully my Costco has the air station, so a quick hitting each tire followed by a stop at the gas pumps and my car feels right. I was wondering why it seemed like my gas mileage was getting slightly crappier.

Eeyo posted:If you really want to optimize it it's better to inflate the tires after the car has sat for several hours. Driving heats up the tire quite a bit so filling it after driving doesn't guarantee a perfect fill. I added 4 PSI for the hot tires, I'll check it when I'm off work as my car will have sat for 4 hours and I'll have a proper reading. Plus I have a very slow electric tire pump at my office so I can do the top off before I drive home if needed Also got the food court cookie recently. It's alright, mine had tons of chocolate chips which is nice, but no real pull to get it again.

im permabanned poster creamerstomper58. i first started drinking half and half when i was about 12. by 14 i got really obsessed with the concept of "UHT" and-Sloppy posted:Tangential, but I discovered these little air compressors recently and they're the absolute poo poo, especially if you have a very very slow leak like me or forget checking the pressure in your spare. They can air up a tire in seconds and stash away easy under a seat or in the trunk. Just ordered it, gonna need something for an upcoming 11 hour road trip in May. Related, is Costco in Canada pretty homogeneous to the US, or is there anything special I should keep an eye out for? (Vancouver / Calgary specifically)

Bucnasti posted:The Tukwilla Costco parking lot packs so many hosed up things into one place. Just to emphasize how poo poo the Tukwila location is with my own personal notes (forgive the ugliness, phone posting):  If you're trying to get gas, you better have entered from Andover Park E because the median is coned off if you've come from Sperry Drive. So many cars pull hosed up U-turns and sometimes block the through lane of people trying to go directly to the warehouse. Also the gas station is so poorly placed and disgustingly busy that it often backs up so bad cars from Andover can't even turn in from either direction. The one way exit at the top, I've almost gotten into multiple head-ons trying to leave cause some impatient gently caress decides to enter the parking lot and completely ignoring the DO NOT ENTER signs from the street. Tukwila sucks but that's the closest Costco to me and where my eye doctor is. Multiple times though I've gone out of my way to drive the extra 15 miles to the Federal Way location just to avoid that bullshit (and give me an excuse to go to the Business Center in Fife).

Hutla posted:I have a Shark Navigator from Costco and I love it. It advertised no hair wrapping around its main beater brush and it is really true. I have a shorthair cat who seemingly buds off an entire new cat in fur each week and it doesn’t get clogged by her, either. It has a bunch of configurations and all of them have worked well for me. It’s a bagless with washable foam filter, though, so if you have crazy allergies and need a HEPA ymmv. This is from a couple pages back but THANK YOU I didn't realize how lovely my old vacuum was until I bought this and I'm embarrassed to say I had to empty the dust bin halfway through the vacuuming, and it was full again when I was done. Worth the price tag indeed. Going to throw more money at Costco tomorrow too.
