Just went to Costco. Portofino Yellowtail Tuna in Extra Virgin Olive Oil is loving CHEAP. 4.5ozx8 is $5.69! Limit two though

At poo poo club they put the motor oil and olive oil in the same aisle and it doesn't even matter which one you pick it's all the same poo poo (Dr

So if you want to serially get arrested for DUIs, its smart to start in WI then move out to any other state after that. That way, you get two firsts, and the next one is a second.

Someone's gotta do a DUI Tour of the United States.

What's Rick Steve's or Samantha Brown up to right now?

The COSTCO street taco kit is actually better than I expected.

If I lived in a place that didn't have killer street tacos everywhere I'd probably do it once a week

I passed up on it many times after debating. I didn't realize there's enough for 12 tacos in there. I always thought there wasn't enough chicken but I was certainly wrong. I'll probably have leftover chicken after using all of the tortillas.

The Quesadilla kit is not bad either but not as good as the street tacos.

This is the only defense of Sam's club anyone can ever and will ever give: Because it's so poo poo, it's way less crowded. Costco can be a madhouse, especially around lunchtime and on the weekends. It's never like that at Sam's club. You can cough and hear the echo.

Also, despite it being less crowded, the checkout line is still absolute poo poo. Costco has 10x the people in it and I've gone through the checkout faster than a Sam's club. The parking lot is also just as lovely because, instead of a huge lot like you can expect at Costco, you get like 5-6 rows of parking and that's it. So despite less people and less cars, it still takes you longer to get in and get out. But hey, the middle part of it, the actual shopping, ain't that bad.

Went to the �co and had a chicken bake before shopping. Never had one before so the calorie bomb made me feel like garbage, just like when I walk into Sam�s club.

Mad Wack: Mar 27, 2008; "The faster you use your cooldowns, the faster you can use them again"

we always do some returns to costco when we go shopping but this time they made a big fuss about only reimbursing if at least 50% of the product was still there, like to the point of opening and shaking things. wtf??? (all our stuff was fine but they acted like we were commiting fraud or something)

Why are you buying so much stuff you return?

You always do some returns? What in the world are you buying and returning so much that you always do it?

Makes me want an update from that guy that was going to return the bed frame he bought like 3yrs ago.

My dad used to buy the fanciest DSLR camera from Costco, use it for a bunch of pictures, and return it within the window so in a way he always had a top of the line model, usually Nikon/Canon.

You return something every time you go? That would certainly throw up some red flags.

I've returned 2 things in the maybe 5+ years I've had a membership.

Seriously if I was LP and someone was doing this I'd definitely be keeping an eye on them
