And since they're not sold hot SNAP covers them. they're still $10 here, $12 for family size. rip you but now I think they cap it at like 5 toppings or something. still a good deal, especially if you get those ridiculous stuffed pizzas with like 2 pounds of crust

once they installed the kiosks here, they got rid of the counter register altogether. that’s the best way imo

It's a crowd pleaser, not too hard to make, and honestly I've forgotten an ingredient in the mince more than once and it still turns out bussin. I used to watch the F Word but man that video style is so dated now lol "grate. mince. stir." in monotone over a million cuts so you can't actually tell what's going on. gives me anxiety very weird in hindsight

Zero VGS posted:Oh, one other standout from my grocery trip: Mateo's salsa. Never had it before but it's delicious despite being a fairly simple salsa. Has garlic/cilantro and it's dicey restaurant style so none of those tomato chunks like Tostitos. Though, they only had medium and it's more of a mild to me. Still a really good flavor. we always have a jar of Mateo's in the house. you can get other varieties including a habanero one at other stores, but of course it's more expensive for a smaller container. when we want it hotter we just mix in a few drops of a super hot sauce

went yesterday. never go on a saturday otherwise cause I hate that it's a madhouse. they only had 5 chickens left, but at least I got one. the baguettes were still warm. the pizza slices were super fresh. the self checkout line was short and fast. very expedient trip, felt good! also got the boba tea mixes thanks to this thread. we tried the classic and the taro already, the taro is especially tasty. going to have to watch for when it's on sale and stock up.

Almost Smart posted:A Costco employee told me the door checkers are there to help ensure that the customer doesn’t overpay for an item being rung up twice or something. She wasn’t particularly pleased when I laughed and said bull-loving-poo poo. yeah it's a bullshit PR line about how it's actually about helping customers. in my case, the guy was nice and apparently this self checkout lady does this a lot because he knew what happened immediately  but I absolutely hate that all the warehouse clubs act like all members may be stealinglike what are they going to do if I just walk out? I have my receipt, I paid for everything, gonna call the cops cause I didn't get a little highlighter mark? dumb dumb dumb

pentyne posted:They can revoke your membership, part of the user agreement is you have to let them inspect your receipt on exit. Weirdly, since alcohol has to be sold without requiring a card, I wonder what happens if you tell them "lol no" when buying a few bottles. ah, right. I'm guessing that doesn't happen often because they want your sweet sweet membership fees Nfcknblvbl posted:It actually does help customers. My aunt was a receipt checker for Price Club (OG Costco in many places), and the cashiers hated how often she caught their mistakes. I mean sure, it does help sometimes, but I don't think that's why it's done. I would guess it's more a combination of finding mistakes their cashiers are making, stopping theft, and kayfabe to make people feel special, as other people mentioned

Sudden Loud Noise posted:Speaking of new things, we tried out the gyro kit. It's totally fine. Nothing special, but a better deal than the local gyro place if you just want a basic gyro. we didn't like it. the pita was really good (super small but whatever), but the chopped cukes, tomatoes, and onions were all really mushy and gross, and the tzatziki had no flavor. the gyro meat was pretty bland too. and what's up with the lettuce? no restaurants around here put lettuce on gyros. seemed like cheap filler. we ended up just adding our own veggies to it. feta was a good addition, at least.

Alan Smithee posted:Not trying to cheat on Costco but I’m curious about the pizza my sam's club stopped posting someone at the door to check cards a while ago, but no clue if that's a policy thing or just my lovely location thing. the pizza has more cheese and toppings (and more topping options) than costco's, but the crust isn't as good. Costco's slice is better overall

How's the hab-ghost? it's good, definitely the hottest el yucateco offers. it's got caramelized onions in it which is unique and tasty, assuming you can handle the heat and taste the actual flavor not sure they have any of the new ones in stores, you have to order them online. also maybe don't call ethnic neighborhoods of your city ghetto MrQwerty posted:I like talking about peppers with Ed, he is a cool dude. First time I ate a reaper, he handed me a slice of a fresh one the year he introduced them to the public. we signed up for a year of monthly mystery sauces and some of his puckerbutt sauces are total poo poo, just bland rear end water. threw a bunch out. maybe he just uses the monthly thing as a way to unload crap experiments, idk.

Alan Smithee posted:folks i have a confession yeah the store brand TP and paper towels are better, like others have said. the premade mac and cheese and stuffed salmon are better than the costco ones if you're interested in those. around here, Sam's prices on produce are way better than Costco's, so you might want to consider comparing. those 3-packs of seedless cucumbers, for instance, are usually $3-4 at Sam's, but I've never seen them for less than $5 at Costco. in general, there's more soda and beverage options at sam's, and more selection in the health and beauty stuff. plus a hundred million kinds of snacks. and don't forget to use Scan and Go in the app, it's a loving genius thing

kreeningsons posted:I’m a Costco newcomer and I feel like I’m doing something wrong. At least half the things on my list were more expensive at Costco than at Wegmans, and the stuff I normally buy is fine quality and isn’t even the cheapest at Wegmans. I did buy some things at Costco that will last me a year but the savings weren’t really that steep. I could make a huge effort post with price comparisons but I don’t think anyone here wants to read that. I live in an area with a ton of grocery store competition. I shop around and check the ads for the stores around here every week because I enjoy meal planning and do a lot of cooking. if you're someone who also does that a lot, chances are you can get things cheaper on good sales at other stores as well. hell, there's one local grocery chain here that's employee owned and regularly beats Costco prices per ounce/lb. unfortunately, you can't check prices at your costco reliably because their website sucks poo poo. these are the things that I regularly buy that are cheaper at costco: Mission tortilla chips, Ritz crackers (sometimes others, but they tend to be more expensive compared to other stores), those giant PB filled pretzels, cases of Swanson chicken broth, Rao's marinara sauce, giant bags of sushi rice, Izze. I also like some of the fresh breads, but they're not exactly cheap anymore. some of the premade meals are ok, but you're paying for convenience obviously. the shrimp cocktail are my weakness lol in general, the produce prices suck.

went this weekend and had the worst pepperoni slice. paper thin crust in the middle so no structural integrity, and left an entire plate of grease behind. lame. they also didn't have the Mission tortilla chips or the PB pretzels.
