The Costco thread
Comments

The artichoke jalapeño dip is crack. I showed much restraint and made a tub of it last almost a month but normally I’d hoover that shit down in a week.
Still pissed at them for tossing out the sausages at the food court. Hot dogs are weak -
I buy tons of other shit there but was just listing the food.
Including the ubiquitous low cut Puma socks.
-
I'm going to associate those with giving up now.
@PurpleThrobber I don't think I recall the sausages. I bet they were solid. The artichoke dip was like an epiphany, and my life has been better ever since.

dissolving condoms?
-
No shows or tube socks with a big ole brand stamp. Ankle socks are for fags.
-
Personally I don’t get clothes there but my wife does upon occasion. The return policy is how I imagine life used to be in the good ole days. One major reason for Costco’s success is that people have a positive outlook with it, hard to say that about many other stores these days.
Costco brats are better than Johnsonville and my wife can feed her Diet Dr. Pepper addiction on the cheap.

The best kind.

In just the drug store section alone I buy:
Contact lens solution and disinfectant
Dove soap
Shampoo
Razor blades
Vitamins
Flax seed oil
Afrin
Vitamins
Melatonin for Mrs snow (she’s a junkie)
Kids cold medicine
Ibuprofen
Q tips
Flonase
Allegra
the list goes on an on
-
yeah I could go on and on…. golf balls, golf gloves, tennis balls, cat litter for KITTIG KAT (FTG), claritin, razors, shaving cream, deodorant and on and on
The unit cost is so much lower than anywhere I've ever found for almost everything

After having a small farm and 30 some chickens that ate organic feed by the tons - and having the best tasting eggs ever NEVER buy eggs from Costco - they suck. They are old. They are stocking winter clothes right now and can''t beat the price on flannels and vests.
And at the new trailer park locale (nice being the only one in the park) , right next to the chicken coops, farm fresh eggs are back on the menu. Always spend a little extra and get the local unwashed eggs - they keep for a long time and do not need refrigeration.
-
I’m disappointed no one has listed the grapes at Costco amongst their shopping list items. I get angry at Mr. Produce (that’s my name for the guy who always works the produce when I’m there) if they don’t have grapes.
There are some staple items that I always get at Costco including the Kirkland brand coffee but like my good friend @huskyhooligan, I also draw the line at Kirkland brand jeans. That is giving up with no chance of coming back. -
Bruh, I was playing the Kirkland Signature #1s last month while @chuck and @DerekJohnson were playing with their (name brand) balls.
-
Best coffee on the planet. As far as I know it's only available online, that's where my wife that handles the shopping gets it. I've never seen it in the store.
I'm not one of those organic fags, this just happens to be organic.
-
You run a lot, boss, so you don’t have to be an organic fag.
-
I didn't drink coffee until my mid-thirties because it tends to tear my stomach up. Guysm at work came in with some coffee from a local roaster. This guy took his first vacation in his life a couple of years ago because he roasts and delivers every day. Smoothest shit I've ever had. I started buying his stuff, and now I'm an addict like everyone else. He delivers it right to your door if you're local, but looks like he also ships now. I highly recommend pretty much all of the single origins.
Anyway, Maniac Coffee Roasting. I'd recommend the Ethiopian single origin he has right now, but whenever he get gets the Malabar in, he just automatically subs out something from out order because he knows we want it. Give it a try!

No comment about Queso by the gallon ??
For shame.

I will never ever wear Kirkland brand clothing. I have requested when I am old and infirm to never clothe me in Kirkland brand clothing. Especially jeans.
I will not use Kirkland toilet paper either. I will spring for Charmin. Kirkland paper towels are OK.
-
It was implied.
-
The towels are fine but yeah Charmin ultra soft - which Costco sells - is the goat.
life is too short for shitty TP.
-
The Throbber just went and checked the bathroom cupboard - Charmin Ultra Soft.
Kirkland paper towels.
-
The Bounty paper towels feel like actual towels compared to the Kitkland ones. Both have their place, though. Highly recommend stocking up on the Bounty when they're on sale.
-
Suprised there isn't a Bed Bath and Beyond thread. Kill me.
-
-
This thread has not discussed Costcos which sell liquor or Kirkland branded liquor.
Both things are great. -
My only complaint with the Kirkland vodka is the bottles are so fucking tall. Doesn’t fit on the Throbbers preferred booze storage location at the lake.
-
the potted mums are in stock me boys !
-
This is true, both for the vodka and tequila
-
I hope you’re only making Bloody Mary’s and White Russians, boss.
-
Ah yes. The Annie's mac and cheese. My kids will eat nothing else.
-
My kids graze on Costco shit all day long. I’m not worried about them getting cancer from Cheezits and Goldfish at this stage in life.
