What do I want from Costco?

Seattle area, so in theory a fitter demographic.

Not to mention an area with a large Asian population.

I've noticed the same thing, though. Pants under 34 inch waist are often pretty rare.

Nice break from bars, stays soft enough to eat in a ski jacket pocket.

Like an uncrustable, but heartier and shelf stable.

The polypropylene base layers they have are nice and light, wear well and are cheap

x2. I like them better than the name brand with a P.

Speaking of Patagonia, just got an e-mail reminding me that I have a $ 175.00 credit from a return early in the fall of 2022, I had totally forgotten. That is some customer service.

That chocolate chip warm cookie is pretty damn good

Got another rum. Guatemala this time. Also very delicious. This one and the one from Panama posted above are going to be discontinued (* on the price tag). Stock up while supplies last

Red Spot Irish. $235.00

The Gerry hoodie is $5 on clearance, size medium only, in the Carson City NV Costco. Big pile available.

Head and Spyder winter gloves also on clearance, around $8. Sízes limited. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...3ae93f20bc.jpg

Spy MIPS helmets now $39. "Sender" model.

Snapdragon miso ramen bowls are great. So I'm sure Costco will stop carrying them soon.

Tried this Focaccia bread last visit and ended up buying it. Pretty darn tasty. Mix and match 3 flavors. Might just be available locally, but if you see it, try it.

And these ice cream bars are like crack. Hard to have just one!

That's *really* weird looking focaccia. FTR - homemade focaccia is super easy. I mean - not Costco-buy easy, but really easy. :D

A buddy used to use his bread maker mostly to make focaccia dough. Easy button for something already easy.

Yeah - I use a stand mixer to do all the "heavy lifting"... but the easier the better.

I don't think my Costco carries that stuff, so probably won't have a chance to try it.

I will say that fresh homemade focaccia is pretty amazing.

Interesting. Bought some treats for the dog and they’re back to $16 in slc. At $5 dollars I’d buy 10 of them. Such a comfortable hoodie

^^^ bought 2 Lrg and 1 Medium. The Medium is a great base layer. 5' 11" 190 lbs, long arms and both sizes work.

The large is pretty big. I'll often need an XL in shirts or else the arms are too short, but on this one the arms on the large are plenty long. Of course I haven't washed it yet...

They are $18 in Arvada (Denver) and all out of helmets. Its a pretty awesome hoody, got one for my son at full price but would buy more if they go on sale here.

Such a busy store. Weekdays at noon and I park in the last aisle.
Not surprised $5 hoodies are gone.

FYI on the hoodies. They pill fairly quickly on areas where they are contacting surfaces. If this bothers you, you probably won't like them. At this price point, it doesn't bother me. Just picked up a few more this week.

I didn't spot hoodies during my most recent visit. I could definitely use a couple. Of course if I go back I'll end up with $200 of other stuff I don't need. So I might as well just get one from my local bike shop or similar.

Costco.com ftw. Smaller waists--and smaller waists.

Some prices are higher and the samples aren't free, but the extra $200 is real.
