I had those things spilling all over the place with a shitty lid that doesn't stay in place until I figured that out.Quote:

They have raw tortillas that you cook yourself. Those things are money. Hard to go back to pre-cooked after you use these for a bit. Usually have corn and flour.
bag of frozen egg rolls, money in an air fryer
To be fair, we have one of these and three vehicles. Because I can't decide which vehicle it belongs in, it sits in the house. It's not an intentional strategy. However, none of us go very far these days. And the rescue party is supposed to grab it on the way out the door. It was in the beater until we replaced it's battery. It should probably go back in the beater. That reminds me, the calendar reminder went off earlier this week, I should charge the battery pack.Quote:

I've never actually set foot in a Costco. There I said it. It's not like I wouldn't ever, I just haven't.
I hear they're big?
edit: 47 miles, I guess it's not gonna be soon.
If your store still has them, you really want the $25 synthetic fleece Pendleton blanket mentioned in the KQ Claus thread.
I haven’t seen IQF halibut in the freezer section for a while, but we always have their frozen shrimp and salmon in our freezer. And I grab a shrimp cocktail every other trip or so.
We buy their organic oat milk and organic vanilla almond milk for smoothies. It’s packaged in cardboard cartons that keep at room temperature so we have a few in the basement.

$19 a case.
Locally they have Venus gin for like $25.
Fever Tree tonic in 5.3 oz cans
They had Merino wool base layers for like $14 recently.
Almonds are good. As is Dave’s Killer.
Some good cheese and wine to select from
Three pack of Olli salami.
They have some wool acrylic blend socks by weatherproof that a great.Quote:

Its like Aladdin's cave of the lamp. You go in with singular purpose, but then get tempted by all the other treasure. And doomed to wander the oversized isles with your too small cart - better get a floor pallet - while trying to come up with justifications to the boss why you've spend a month's wages on items and quantities that would make a texas prepper proud.Quote:

And you get to pay extra for a 'membership' (not a free 'rewards card' like the other guys that track your purchases) just to have the privilege of walking through the door.
IMO all the extra $$$$ you are gona spend will negate the deals i don't have a memeber ship and I never find much i want in there anyhowQuote:

Agreed. There's no going back from the par baked tortillas.Quote:

Biggest downside of Costco is that a solid majority of the shoppers have no clue how to handle a shopping cart. I'm not prone to road rage but will quickly make an exception in the aisles of that store.

Notice how much easier it is to navigate now that the free samples booths have been reduced?
Yup. However, i miss being able to cobble a together a light meal. But, I hope it never comes back. I shudder at the thought of that vector, victor.Quote:

user has to pay for membership to shop at Costco, you gotta buy a lot of shit hopefully at a discount which must make up that membership cost, i never found much of a saving over the local food stores to be honest
even when it wasnt 4 hrs away the amounts they want to sell you things in are not worth it for 1 person
so in other words user has to spend a LOT of money to maybe save money, my take is its way cheaper not spending all that money SO I still have all my money cuz i am not the model costco consumer heaping shit into the f-150 till its level with the top of the bed
you probably were never a contracter in Canada, in any case it wasnt just them it was a number of companies thinking they could break the law and fuck with their contracters
My wife refers to that as white trash dim sum.Quote:

I resemble that comment. I suppose she wouldn't like to join me for some Kirkland Chateau de Cardboard out of plastic cups in the parking lot?Quote:

I don't EVER venture to the middle of the store- that's where you get suckered into buying shit you don't need.Quote:

Fresh off a morning visit.
Kirkland paper towels seem to be superior in every way to anything I’ve used on the market.
Almond butter - no contest
Jumbo lump crab @ 30 bux it ain’t Maryland but it’s a great and very reasonable sub.
24 pack of spindrift @11.99? Cmon man
I like to refer to the roasted chickens as a “ national treasure “
But that’s just me I guess.

[QUOTE=XXX-er;6242463]For us the biggest savings come in the form of nuts (walnuts and almonds mostly), oils, and frozen fruit. I probably wouldn't drink smoothies every morning if I had to pay grocery store prices for nuts and frozen fruit. Or maybe I would and it would be a lot more expensive. The little cherry tomatoes are also very well priced compared to the half sized version at the super market (~$6 for 2lbs vs $5 for 1lb), but we don't end up with as much savings on them as we only go to Costco once in a while and you can't stock up on those. Same with flour. WAY cheaper, but maybe $10-15 in savings a year as we don't buy it that often. Every so often I probably buy something that I don't need, but it's almost all consumables - food, paper products, etc. so even if we could get away with less in the short term, it's not as if we're going to have the toilet paper go stale on us. When my son was still in diapers, we bought/saved even more compared to other local options.Quote:

Costco also caps fees for participants and that alone was enough of a difference to pay for our membership for years.
Edit: Also another vote for the merino socks. They're basically all I wear. They don't last as long as Darn Tough, but they're much cheaper, I really like the feel, and they get less stinky than any other brand I've tried (save maybe Icebreaker).
Edit2: My local store now has Alesmith samplers for like $20. That's a great deal on good beer.
The kirkland bag of bacon bits is a great feed bag for a day of touring
