Tbh I didn’t even ask for options. I just walked in and asked for a battery and that was what I was given.

Welp... had to put this down at Costco yesterday even though it was on sale. It's my favourite pork jerky, but it is a product of USA, and I ain't gonna buy it again until Trump drops the tariffs.

Cashmere and Purex are made by Kruger. They have a plant -- which I believe is a TP plant -- right on Stewardson Way when you come off Queensborough.

Purex is kind of mid though.

Kirkland TP is also made in Canada.

I'm a fan of Cottonelle Ultra Clean but I gotta go to Superstore to get it. I'm giving Kirkland TP another try - I never had a problem with it but the wife found it too dusty.

Have you tried BKH Jerky? It's a local Singaporean (?) jerky shop on the corner of Kingsway x Fraser (my Vancouver geography is horrible). Absolutely delicious but not cheap.

The Purex Ultraluxe is pretty close to the Charmin stuff they sell at Costco. But Costco only carries regular Purex which is less soft than Charmin.

For Ultraluxe you have to get it somewhere else. Amazon, walmart, Save on, etc. Wait for sales.

I just happened to drive by the Costco liquidation place on United Boulevard. As yray would say, it’s a lie and waste of time. I couldn’t find a single item I would call a good deal. Would get better prices from Costco when on sale. I saw lots of people like me looking around and walking out asap.

Traffic there is already a gong show. Now going to be even worse. It's about time a Business Centre opened up. Probably just get stuff you can't get at normal warehouses shipped, now that there's one close by.

Not according to the article -- just your regular Costco membership will do. However, it seems like the goods this business center carries probably comes in too large a quantity for regular consumers to swallow, so it may not be all that suitable for regular consumers to shop there.

FYI, last year when I bought something from a Business Centre and tried returning it at a regular Costco, they said I had to go back to the Business location to return it.

From RedFlagDeals suggest they are heavy and cumbersome to move around. Probably not worth it for a quick job and/or have limited garage space.
