Just got back from Costco.

They started putting out the autumn displays, which included two redneck skeletons playing the banjo.

I was able to hear that poo poo from across the entire store. Just, William Tell and dueling banjos for a solid hour.

I bought those dudes a few years ago, they rule.

Impulse bought those mini stroopwaffels that come in the individual serving size packs since they were on sale. Big mistake, they are pretty terrible. I'll ditch them in the breakroom at work.

Not saying you guys are wrong, but how are they pinching you? I've been using a few probably every other day for a few years now and haven't managed to pinch myself once. Now that I typed that I'll probably draw blood later today though.

Yeah wtf i've never seen these at the Seattle costco. They used to carry field roast sausages though.

Crazy, this is in the heart of beef country Nebraska so I'm surprised it's not widespread everywhere else. Pretty reasonable too at I think ~$11 for a 2lb bag

I have been drinking craft beer since the late 90s (referred to as microbrews back then), have been through every trend ever and nowadays I just buy 30 racks of Coors Light from Costco and call it a day. gently caress it.

If you've completely given up on life like this, it's cheaper to just piss in your own mouth.

Coors always ranked below crap like Busch Light or Old Milwaukee to my taste buds, only time I ever found it drinkable was on the brewery tour in Golden, CO on a 100+ degree day. I was a Pabst guy in my cheap beer days, but also switched to craft stuff in the late 90s. In the 20 years since then probably a dozen local breweries have popped up, and some killer local-ish regionals like Toppling Goliath, so I'd rather give money to them for a truly great beer. I drink fewer than 4 a week on average now, and I like to try new stuff, so the $15-25 4 packs are good for me.

Costco does have a decent Lagunitas IPA in stock most times, which is my keep on hand in the garage fridge beer (along with Miller High Life).

You still didn't :eng101: It's a different barrel! Let me know how it is

I'm not great at describing whiskey flavors, but I can say it's REAL GOOD tm. Incredibly smooth for a 120 proof liquor. I might actually prefer the bottled in bond, but I haven't had enough yet to say for sure.

Can get them in pretty much every grocery store in my great plains state. I think all of the Papa Murphys here closed though.

Not a big fan of take and bake anyway, home ovens aren't as hot as pizza ovens.

I added an outlet in the vanity cabinet so we could hook up our fancy butt washer. It's not very hard if you are handy at all.

Speaking of Mr. Sparkle, we got ours from Costco in Nov 2019 on a pretty great sale (Bio Bidet 6800 for ~$200) and my goony rear end finally overpowered the seat and broke one of the hinges. Had a brief moment of panic when I saw that normal prices are $400+, but going back to wiping with paper like a heathen is right out. Fortunately BioBidet has a 3 year warranty, and I got a real human on the first ring and they are sending out a replacement. Makes me glad that Costco only deals with reputable companies (afaik anyway).

Close. RealGood. They are keto, but also garbage as is basically everything else by that company. I did decide to buy some bacon wrapped cheese stuffed chicken breasts they put out on sale at my local Costco. I figured at $4 off, for under $10, i'll give them 1 more shot.

If they ruin chicken + bacon + cheese, they really have no reason to be a company.

I thought those bacon wrapped stuffed chicken breasts were good. The enchiladas were def garbage though.

Yeah all the other stuff is just generic trash. The bourbon was bottled in bond (or single barrel) and made by folks twenty minutes away from me. Kentucky already has one extractive industry! Don't make bourbon the same!

E: I post a lot about the bourbon in the thread! Don't read my post history! I'm not mad!

I've got 4-6 bottles each of the small batch, bottled in bond, and single barrel. It's like all I want to drink now.

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.

I wish Costco carried as much cat stuff as they do dog stuff. My dog is elderly and no longer enjoys playing with toys, but my new kitty has an unceasing appetite for new things to destroy.

I inherited the tilt-head KitchenAid that my mom got as a wedding gift in 1972. She used it almost every day until gifting it to me about 20 years ago once she finally upgraded to a more professional model. I only use it once a week, but it still works like a champ.

It gets marked down to $50 here for the past few years and still shows back up at normal price the next year. I got one last year at $50 and thought it was pretty overrated tbh. Took it to several holiday parties and still ended up pitching about half of it, won't be buying again.

If you sign in on the website you can get a full order history of all your in store purchases. Can print out the invoice from there or just pull it up on your phone and they can do it that way.

The person at the return desk has your history right there, so no need to do anything just bring in the pile of scraps in a tote bag and hand it over. I did this with an old Netgear router when they (Netgear) pushed out an update that bricked my model, it was no problem.

This is true, but last time I did this the lady let me know she was very happy I had it ready to go and she didn't have to search through my order history. Probably not as big of a deal if you know it was on your last trip in, very different story when you are returning something from 6 months and 30+ trips ago.

Also in other news I learned the life hack of pre-counting your cans and bottles and just going straight to the desk with it. People at my local church are so loving bad at using can return machines

I'm kinda confused by this, what cans and bottles are you returning? Can return machines?
