testifeye posted:What was your experience like with the A/C unit? Did you buy a window or standing unit, or a full house system? I had a full house system installed and it went great. The salesman pointed out a couple of issues with the original install to be corrected and did a thorough calculation for my system. Install happened on the day we scheduled it and was very clean and well done. I got a Costco shop card, 2% back on the credit card as well, and a rebate from the energy company. I had another contractor quote it and the Costco contractor was cheaper. The Costco guy was a better salesperson too and spent a long time with the options to help me choose. I myself do construction management and treated it just like a larger project I normally do and I was very happy with the result.

testifeye posted:Awesome! Thanks for the thoughtful response. I'll give them a call. What I didn't think of until now is keep in mind it's a third party contractor. In Denver it was Cooper Plumbing and Heating that took care of me. He told me a lot of their business is Costco leads. Not sure if it's good or bad. He kind of gave a little away too when he asked if he was going to use my Costco card, so I quickly upped my limit and he says "that's why I love Costco shoppers, they got the money!" I was glad I got competing quotes.

On my last visit a lady came up behind me at the registers and said "don't worry they go pretty quick! They're good here. I used to have a membership to Sam's too but after my husband died I decided I didn't need both" I wouod have praised her smart choices but I was immobilized by the widows reveal.

I had an issue with my citi card scanning at the gas pump and they took care of me right then with a new membership card with a photo. Two weeks later a new Citi card came with the new photo. Which is cool except this was like October 2020 during a road trip and I looked like hell!

CzarChasm posted:Are the jarred 505 chilis seasonal or regional? I don't know that I've ever seen them at my store (SE WI), and I don't get any matches looking online. Whats wild is right now is peak season for getting fresh roasted green chilies here in Colorado. I might have to pick up a basket tomorrow. The product availability thing is why I told my wife if you see a thing and you must have it then you get it right then. Don't sleep on it. Sometimes I buy something and then see it around for a couple months and other times it's gone by the next week. If its something I like but can't justify buying then I stalk it until it goes on clearance, and in often relieved of having to buy it by missing it entirely.

Renegret posted:Costco was selling these $13 painting kits. Couple of brushes, rollers, paint trays, you know the deal. I had most of that stuff already but I knew we'd be painting and can always do with more. Really I just wanted the painters tool since I didn't have one and got tired of my screwdrivers getting covered in paint from opening cans. Next time you get a gallon of paint from your local paint shop ask for an opener. You can always use extra.

PokeJoe posted:Anyone got a Costco workbench? Been looking at the wheeled dealies. Probably the 31 or 48 inch wide one since I live in an apartment. Compare them to the offerings at Lowes and Home Depot. Harbor freight has a similar one but it's only 18" deep. The Home Depot ones are about 500-600 for the same size as the one you linked.

Yep, the bowls I got were 9.97 and the hose I passed on was $7.00. It ain't ever gonna be cheaper than that. If you see something you like at $x.97 buy all that you need because it won't be there next time.

Renegret posted:My wife told me, all she wants for her birthday is this: They had a bunch here in my Denver Costco. I didn't realize you were looking for one in store, I thought you were just saying you were going to get it. I didn't look that close but I'm sure it was a Disney Xmas village thing like that. I saw it, said 'oh its the thing the goon wants' looked at the price and walked off. That thing is expensive! PM me if you want me to be your private shopper I guess. Wouldn't be the first time.

Beer sales inside Costco is new in the past 5 years in Colorado. In the first six months, with a wide selection of local and localish beer. Local being independent and localish being formerly independent local beer like Breckenridge. I think it was 2 or 2 1/2 aisle sides. By he end of the first year it was 1 side of an aisle and two are local and the rest (5?) are localish. I still pick up beer there for parties, it's better for me not to have 24 packs of beer at my disposal. Now if I want a beer on a Tuesday I have to pray for a leftover stashed in the back of the fridge.

Zero VGS posted:I mean they sold them frozen as standalone if you wanted to cook it at home, I figured they were all like that. I guess they could all arrive refrigerated and then they freeze only the ones that don't go to the foodcourt. I guess that could make it harder to keep the green peppers fresh. But I mean even subway can (kinda) manage. This is not even remotely close. Where's our boy Marcus to set this straight? Take and bake pizzas are a completely different product.

And because the uncooked pizzas are considered groceries, Papa Murphy's accepts food stamps, which account for 4% of sales companywide and up to 15% of sales in some stores.Dec 25, 2000 Old data but there you go.

CaptainCrunch posted:Church used to have a Kirkland sliced turkey lunchmeat in the cooler section but I haven't seen it for going on 4 months now. Has it been discontinued? I saw this last time I was there. I just went through a package of turkey and was reminded why I rarely buy it. It's good meat that is minimally processed and sliced thick. The side effect being its hard to get the slices apart without them falling apart. I also just don't like turkey that much.

Big day for me. Went to Colorado Springs Costco on my way home. They have booze, which is good to know. Bought gloves for car stuff that I haven't seen in my store for a long time, probably since early 2020 and they were rationed. I got simple pull chain shop lights that I wanted for my garage. Previously they only had fancy remote ones with sensors that were too expensive and fancy for what I wanted. Two pack for $20. Finally, my girlfriend loves the Cangshan BBQ knife set and wanted another set to give her folks as a gift. She bought hers for $60. Last week I told her they were on sale for $49.97 and she was going to buy them. She didn't. At this Costco they were $29.97. Yet they rang up at $40.00. That's bizzare to me (**.00 Prices are usually lower than the nine sevens!) but after they verified they honored the lower price and I was on my way. Pbuc!

In store, not a seperate entrance liquor store wart business. My normal one has beer, no wine. The good ones have it all. I don't think any in Colorado have wine and beer without spirits.

Fake James posted:The Costco by me has beer + seltzers, nothing else. I think the one in Littleton has beer + wine + spirits, but haven't been there yet. Some have an attached liquor store but it isn't run by Costco. Yes the Littleton one on Wadsworth does for sure have liquor. We went there to stock up for a party. I now have multiple unopened gallons of liquor because our eyes were bigger than our guests livers. The ones I know are Lone Tree, Littleton, Colorado Springs West, Fort Collins. Perhaps the one in Eagle as well but it's been a long time since I was in that neck of the nape. Edit for context: in Colorado grocery stores can sell all alcohol products at up to 8 locations provided they buy out two liquor stores, including all of them within 1500 ft. double edit: I now understand something that was weird about the Co Springs one I was at. There was a weird offshoot room that had home goods in it that are normally just on the racks. That was a repurposed liquor store space. Same with the one in Fort Collins I'd bet which also had a weird side room. StormDrain fucked around with this message at 20:19 on Oct 13, 2022 |

Enos Cabell posted:All the stupid regional liquor laws never cease to crack me up. Next door to CO in NE I can go pick up a shopping cart full of whiskey at 6am on a Sunday morning at my local grocery store. They make crack ping a little bit especially when we explore the unforeseen effects. Colorado limited liquor store owners to one location. It's up to 4 right now I believe. So there are a ton of crappy and a few really nice independent liquor stores. Local breweries could go around and get their product in a few stores, they weren't required to fill huge contracts with distributors and regional grocery stores, so there was a lot of little successes that helped build a wide range of little breweries that were and are successful. I like the variety, and Colorado does really well at national beer competitions. Not as well as California but I'd say punching above our weight especially per capita. It also meant liquor and beer prices were and remain high on average from what I've seen in other relaxed states. That part blows.
