For some stuff the price difference vs a regular store isn't that big, but I easily pay off my membership just with the money I save on beef so anything else is just a bonus. Sometimes it's a hassle that they only have 1 model of each type of product but they're pretty good at only carrying quality stuff so it saves a lot of hassle researching.

I don't know if all of them are like this but here they seem to have an affinity for non-GMO products which annoys the hell out of me. That's a rant for another day though.

While I was warranteeing a car battery I saw a woman exchanging one apple out of a huge bag of apples. It blew my mind but the staff didn't even blink.

Which Costco has Wagyu? I only remember seeing the tomahawk by the meat section... but not gonna do it cause that bone alone is like $100. :fuckthatshit:

As for regular Costco item I recommend:
Frozen cooked meatballs - great for lazy cookers. My usual lazy pasta is onion, chopped garlic, bolognese sauce and microwave the meatballs for 5min then dump them into sauce and add to pasta of choice.

Meat lasagna - quite good and cheap.

Washed baby spinach - again, good, simple and can be anything like salad, dump them into noodle soup and great price. It's actually a really good deal as it's pure leaves.

Wet flushable wipes - once you try this shit, you would never shit the same again. It's like having the cleaness of a bidet, without all the hassle.

I get the shrimp salad once in a while........ actually, whatever goes on sale.

As for wet flushable wipes, amazon.ca had Cottonelle ones for really dirt cheap I stocked up on them. For occasional cave man days, I use Dude Wipes.

Overpriced, I know......... then, I got in touch with my feminine side and got these wipes. Summer's Eve........ hey, if it can clean a woman's junk, it's probably just fine for my junk.

It was also on sale on amazon. Same ingredients as dude wipes, but way cheaper - not fair. If you can't lick 'em, join 'em (okay, that was bad).

Man, I feel like a woman....... duh duh ta du du da da

Reminds me of old school Irish Spring ads where lassie goes, "Manly, yes, but I like it, too!"

I hope you're not flushing those wet "flushable" wipes down the toilet. I hate how so many of those products say "flushable" when you're not suppose to.. f'kin marketing...
And their pizza do taste like cardboard . But $12.99 for 18" is nuts.

bad thing about Costco besides the hords of ppl... is that when you're there.. you are guaranteed to spend a minimum of $200. U buy only a few items.. each item is like $20-$30 and all of a sudden youre ringing up $200.. smh

Nope. Not me. I make sure that shit stays out of the plumbing. My shit plugs up the plumbing as is........ no need to add more shit in there.

I like how they have an image of a plumber dude with a huge pipe wrench over his shoulders, with the caption, "Plumber Approved," on the packaging. Yeah, 'cause they get the extra business, lol.

I go during seniors hour. Quiet as hell, and all the good stuff that sells out quickly, including clearance items, are out on the floor at opening.


One of the silver linings to the dark cloud of the Covid variety.

Just tried the Maui onion chips for the first time yesterday, they're surprisingly tasty!

Yup, I liked the colour and design of the bag, at first. Then, tasted it. So good with Heluva Good Dip. Which is also available now at Costco - and the cheapest anywhere. They even go on sale every once in a while.

I think the majority do but the stock comes and goes you have to luck out. I've been to the Downtown Costco 5 times in the last 3 months, saw it once and they've been selling it since at least May. Looks like it may have stopped though.

If you have craving for Wagyu Beef, check this place out. I only go there for clearance items. Always 50% off. Products from Japan are known to have quick expiry dates.

They also carry some hard to get items and very trendy stuff straight from Japan. Like clear Coca Cola. Small dinky place in that mall with Walmart in it - Richmond. Worth risking your life for. Make sure you have good ICBC coverage, gulolol.

You guys talking about the foods reminds me of the marinated salmon filets they used to have. It was some kind of sweet chili sauce and holy shit it was good. They haven't sold it in years but I still glance in the coolers every time I'm there just in case.

stocking up on cases of drinks, pop or sparkling water...

hotdog+pop combo, cheap & easy meal for the family :lol

pet peeves, ppl seem oblivious to their surroundings, coming out of a side isle cutting people off etc, good god if that's how they drive...

I'm waiting for Costco to carry Starbucks Frap in bottles again. Used to buy them when they went on sale. Now can't get 'em, period.

San Pelegrino <sp?> on sale is good price. Must keep eye on expiry dates. I miss shopping at the Costco's in the US. Bundaberg Ginger Beer. You can get that shit up here, but not at Costco Canada. The last drink I bought from US Costco was Fever Tree Premium Ginger Beer. Man, that shit was unbelievably good.


EDIT: EDIT: EDIT:

WTH?

Does that mean they are available at the warehouses? I've never seen it at any Costco. Damn. If any of you have seen it, let me know.

Why doesn’t Costco sell fucking regular club soda?!? Or at the very least stock those flats of Pelegríno consistently. I don’t want those tall plastic bottles of flavoured stuff etc. Just give me some damn regular old sparkling water

There's a brand I've discovered recently, Fever Tree. They make the best tonic water I've ever tasted. They also make a ginger beer which is also delicious. Costco recently started carrying 24 packs (250 no bottles) for $26.99 of tonic water.

I think costco is the only place that has a line of of ppl to rush in before the store opens every weekday morning. .. I've been there like 3 time before the place opens and there are like 20+ ppl with their carts ready to go in.. lol

If you want legit A5 and some other goodies from Japan, some of which you can't buy here then try https://fukuya.ca/products/miyazaki-a5-ribeye-steak

They get their products shipped weekly from Japan, def cheaper than Darumaya and these other places.

bubble water was about as close as it gets, and is affordable too...but it's flavoured...

or just get a soda stream :lol

Costco seems to no longer stock Steinfeld pickles which sucks because they’re the best. Bring them back!

They don't carry hijiki, though. I'm dying for hijiki. Should have got it from the states when I had the chance. Don't think I can get it shipped here. It's banned in Canada due to high arsenic content. The Japanese have been eating hijiki for thousands of years. Anyway, this thread is about Costco.......................

Damn, I love my Sodastream.

Italian Strawberry Syrup, Tropicana Strawberry Peach juice, Real Lemon Concentrate, and, the best ingredient, frozen organic sliced strawberries (from Costco). Best drink ever. No ice needed, because the frozen strawberries make the concoction ice cold without diluting the drink. So, so good. I carbonate the hell out of the water. The fizz gets caught up in the strawberries. Tall fountain glass with a Zwilling fountain spoon to help scoop out the morsels of red goodness. Heaven. Best patio drink on a hot day.

I didn't even know 7-11 had pizza.
If I want fast pizza I'd go to Fatihs or even FreshSlice

What’s wrong with the Costco pizzas? Lol

By the slice it is what it is, but buying a whole pie pretty hard to beat that value. Toss some onions and jalapeños on it and you’re golden

They're pizza kinda tastes like cardboard . Lol but you can't complain about the price.
