Costco hotdogs and soft serve ice cream is the only way my wife gets me to go... haha

any sales on pressure washer?

ShopVac · 03-16-2021, 10:48 AM

Dog beds
Dog treats
Last batch of cellphones for everyone
Premo gas
Wife gets a few standard items from there.
Some electronics...nice to have an extended warranty by using the CC
Most of my tires...if they have the sizes needed (Audi and BMW are tough to get the PS4S in the right size)

Costco employs some of my friends and they actually treat their employees fairly well. Considering there really are no "local merchants" when it comes to groceries besides farmer's markets, I think shopping at Costco isn't such a bad thing. I also go to farmer's markets but they don't have giant packs of toilet paper.

Anyway, dried mangoes are my must have:

I also shamelessly browse the clothes section because I go through jackets fast. I've also loaded my closet with sweats because I now work from home and they feel a little less guilty than wearing pajama bottoms all day.

Yeah, I don't get it. Is it even good gas? I dunno, line's too long to find out.

Must be considering how many crazy people line up for it. Not me though.

I usually grab a packers-cut Brisket, spend two days prepping it and then smoke it for about 26 hours. Then I grab the BBQ sauce and eat till I explode! Costco has some of the best Brisket you can find with a great price to boot.

You are correct - American Wagyu by Snake River Farms. It also seems to be seasonal, but it is really, really good.

Well I am NOW! Lol. After reading about ribeyes, Wagyu corn beef, Tide pods (

), etc.

Actually I was literally snacking on those macadamia nuts which I swear to god are almost impossible to put down and it inspired me to start this thread

We only get certain items that do seem to be a better deal at costco and also random stuff they have on sale when we are there. I have not found their booze to be much better priced than total wine so I rather go there.

Mainly go for meats and seafood. They sometimes have a great deal on mussels and clams. Also things we go through a lot of like lettuce, cheese etc. We don't go very often because it's almost as bad as Walmart.

Honestly since a year ago when the real lockdowns happened and we signed up for grocery delivery... I don't think we can go back. Especially since everywhere we go seems more packed than ever before. I remember I could go to places in the afternoon mid week and everything would be empty. Not anymore.

M3_Dust · 03-16-2021, 07:11 PM

Naked juice green machine, eggs, prime ribeye steak, ground beef, chicken, a variety of fresh produce, kirkland bacon, body armor, allergy pills, dog food & treats, gasoline. My brother works at Costco and added my wife and I to his membership so we pretty much live at Costco and buy everything we can from them for two reasons, quality and ease of returns. The prices tend to be good too.
