Costco Shopping Thread

[Ax01]

I just lived vicariously thru you. Thanks for the Costco run! Lol! You’re a very enthusiastic person

lol. run? sometimes it's like an obstacle course w/ all the people and carts and vendors and displays and stuff. maybe i'll strap on a helmet cam next time.

I shop once or twice a month, for some staple items.
As you got, the Grey Poupon is an amazing deal! I'll buy the double pack big kikoman soy sauce as needed (I make my own teriyaki sauce and do a chicken stir fry a few times a month). My staples are the fresh packs of boneless, skinless chicken breasts (usually 6 breasts per pack), the bacon (4 pack) and sometimes english muffins, tortillas and sliced deli meat. I pre-trim all the chicken and vacuum pack 2 breasts per since it's just me and my BF. Meat freezes really well and it's such a better deal than the grocery store. (for instance, 1 pack of bacon at safeway is $6.99-8.99, the 4 pack at Costco is $9.99). Also get the Kirkland TP and sometimes packs of gatorade or Nature Choice peanut bars.

As for the giant mayo bags and such, some small restaurants will get supply there so it works for them just fine.

Costco is tricky. Some items are a great deal as long as you'll use it before it goes bad. It's really easy to get a bunch of stuff that isn't needed and while they do have a lot of neat things, I usually avoid the non-food isles because that's how you end up with a bill over $100 really quickly.

very smart Costco tips! i've bought alotta crap from the non-food aisle like the unbrella and snow brush/ice scraper above. and yes, i splurge of Grey Poupon lol. i should carry a lil bottle of it in the car just in case a rich old guy pulls up in a Rolls.

LMAO - awesome shopping trip.

I LOVE going to Coscto. The Kirkland brand alcohol is very good IMHO.

gonna have to ask my sister to hitup Costco this weekend for their tequila.

I’m a Costco virgin! And I’ve never had a BJ’s membership, either.

As an English member, Costco is always so amazing to me That mayonnaise sure is heavy duty though! The first thing I thought when I saw the blender is big vats of soup!

did u know that Costco also feeds u for free! on any given day esp. the weekends there's vendors and store employees doing food demo's handing out samples. u can eat a full meal by the time u are ready to checkout and pay.

how big is your immersion blender? is it Costco sized?

Yup, use it several time a week to make marinara sauce. I use it for salsas, soups, etc...as well.

impressive. i guess that makes sense. i just thought chefs and most peeps would use a one hand/hand held sized (immersion) blender.
