Unsalted is for baking. Salted is for cooking.

Why would I want a corporation to decide the amount of salt (and not tell me) when cooking?

That's like using Spiced Rum instead of Gold/Anejo Rum in a cocktail that calls for rum

People routinely drive through the center at my Costco but we only have 2 pumps per lane, not 3, and the center lane is rather wide.

Here in South Texas it's about 12 cents cheaper. Only reason why I fill up there is that it's on the way to work so I can fill up on my way in to work before there's any crowds.

Ha, somehow I knew it was gonna be this stuff. I actually have a container of it in my spice rack and absolutely love it, but my wife finds it utterly revolting and I can't even use it around her. I figured it would be something polarizing like that.

My wife and I both love truffle but I'm definitely in the camp that a little goes a long way and the truffle flavor in that cheese is not balanced right at all. She loves it but I hate it

The pro move is to get the citi Costco card. It gives another 2% back on most Costco stuff and you'll get 4% on gas. I actually get a bigger refund from my credit card rewards than my Costco rewards.

This is my first year with the Citi Costco card, is the refund a check or is it voucher like the Executive reward?

finally broke into the Kirkland-branded oat milk I got. idk if it's just because it's different from what I normally get but this tastes... weird

If you're used to drinking Oatly, that makes sense. They use canola oil as the thickener and Kirkland uses sunflower oil which right away is going to a different flavor and texture.

In the same boat, bought one 3 nights ago. It's listed as medium to firm, but the top couple of inches are extremely soft. It was purchased to replace my wife's old sleep number that I hated and finally died, and it's been worth every penny.

It's relatively heavy to carry by yourself, so if you can get someone that isn't pregnant to help you I would recommend it.

I ended up pulling the trigger on the King size yesterday, $579 online but only $479 in store. Was able to get it out of the SUV and onto the box spring with a hand truck and some clever positioning by myself thankfully.

1st nights sleep (not 100% expanded) was good but slept a little warm and the lazy afternoon nap today was perfect. No regrets

Edit: one con that's an issue for my wife is the lack of edge support, there's no reinforced bolster to just sit on the edge of the mattress

Is it just my dishwasher or are the Kirkland UltraShine Packs absolute garbage? I've never had issues with any other Kirkland product but compared the Cascade brand ones, some of the dishes come out dirty and almost all of them have a film or deposit on them.

I've used them for a short time. I didn't have any problems but I hate pods so once I used them up I never got them again.

There could be a few causes for your problems. First thing I would do is clean the catch at the bottom of the tub, then run a dishwasher cleaner. A dirty dishwasher leaves dirty dishes. Also make sure you're using a rinse aid.

The problem with pods is that you don't get any detergent for the prewash cycle which is where the bulk of the dirt comes off of. You only need a little because it's a short cycle so two pods is overkill and a waste of money but none doesn't work very well.

We clean our dishwasher monthly and always clean the catch/filter when we do and do use a rinse aid. When running it, we also get the water nice and hot from the tap before starting. Honestly just going to return the pack and go back to Cascade since they always worked.

Oh that's lame. Costco really cutting back on some of what makes them great.

Might go infiltrate a Sam's Club tomorrow to see what their food court looks like.

Sam's Club food court is absolute garbage tier.

The only time I use our Sam's Club membership, is when my local Costco doesn't have the item or the item they sell is inferior/absurdly priced

Note: my Costco doesn't get half the good stuff that's posted in this thread and it makes my heart weep

Yeah for real.

Apparently Costco is going crazy over people borrowing membership cards and using self-checkout. People on FB/Reddit have been experiencing the same. I

Yeah it's ridiculous from Reddit

quote:

Anyway, Im a busy mom (pregnant with my second) I always bring my toddler and go biweekly to get in and out fast and mind my business. I like to use self checkout because I like to move fast. This particular trip today I brought my mother in law who is visiting for a few weeks from out of the country and doesn't speak any English. She has never even seen a costco so it was all interesting for her.
She was kind enough to push my carriage for me so as we approach the self checkout I show the employee my card with photo and proceed to a register. She actually physically got in front of my mother in law and the carriage and demanded her costco card. My MIL cannot speak English and had no idea what was going on. I said "she's with me." And she proceeded to say she needed a card. I told her it's all of my stuff, she's my MIL and not even from here, and she moved aside and said "you can only use 1 card for this order."
Mind you while she is questioning me for literally nothing I am doing wrong, several people walked right on by without getting their cards checked lol.
So really defeated the purpose there Costco. I was so frazzled by the entire encounter and accusation that I could barely check myself out appropriately, but I got ahold of myself and got out of there. Now I think I'I never use self checkout again.

Also they really need to work on self check out. Last week I stopped by for some stuff for work and was told by the lady checking memberships about how I can now use the scan gun myself without staff.

This week all scan guns were gone.

IIRC Consumer Reports tell you to avoid both Samsung & LG because they tend to break a lot

Shredder posted:

I started digging during one of the appliance sales, the consensus was to stick with the traditional brands for appliances, maytag, GE, whirlpool etc.

Samsung seems to suck across the board, especially the fridges, LG seemed hit or miss depending on the model but I don't need loving wifi on my dryer or a camera in the fridge

Looks like Consumer Reports rates the LG Washer/Dryer that Costco has on sale relatively highly for it's price range (looking to spent below $1500 for the pair)

Edit: nvm Costco's terrible website strikes again. On the search results listing the washer/dryer pair shows in stock and available for delivery for my zip code but going to the actual product page shows it Out of Stock
