So I visited this Melbourne Costco and it’s quite good. Most items are cheaper than Canada, especially the meats. Then you got stuff like this whey protein that’s basically double the price of Canada.

Also the Costco food court had this amazing mango smoothie made of real mango puree. Their steak pie was very salty and meh.

^ honestly, what I did was go to COSTCO.
Yes the card works and I bought 50 tubes of paw paw cream / manuiku honey and gave it all away as souviners when I went back to HK. SUPER worth my time - u could try to install IG Melbourne to ensure the promos are good.

Rumoured that there will be a Costco opening at Queensborough landing at the old Lowes building.

Like Hobz I also went to a Costco in Melbourne - some stuff was extremely cheap compared to here, such as the oysters, and also:


beautiful fresh abalone!


morels!


Frenched lamb lollipops

But then...


This would be 4x cheaper in AB or USA.

I also had the mango smoothie - it was so good (boba was meh). Agree on the Aussie pie being too salty compared to the local bakeries' products.

They still had the onion dispensers though!

Just an update on those Prime 2-pk smart plugs. They are on clearance now for $9.97 so get them while you can.

I had a guy come and clean my gutters this week and he made a large mess on the metal awning over my patio. Basically a significant amount of mud and guck dripped underneath so it was visible from sitting on the deck. So I asked him to come back and clean the mess.

He returned the next day, grabbed my garden hose and sprayed the undeside of the awning, and in the process got muddy water all over my deck furniture.

I had that Prime smart plug out there for my patio lights. It got soaked and when I came home it was unplugged. I plugged it back in and it's now dead.

So I've asked him to replace it for me!

^ That's crazy I helped my buddy get these the other day, 100+ in line before they even opened and gone in 15 minutes... 320 boxes. Those 2 exact sets.

I don't collect Pokemon cards at all just went to help him get more with the 2 per person limit.

tempted at these but i got so many pairs of Converse already.

Crazy there are still tons in stock yet no one is jumping all over this. Guess teens don't go to costco with mom and dad to buy stuff no more and only goes to the mall.

Hey man, I haven't seen Chicken Lady in over 6 months and have never set eyes on the Kensington LifeLabs MILF, and no Ferrari owning hoe is feeding me when I work out so you gotta give me someone to look at.

That Ferrari hoe probably thought I got nabbed by the CCP. Everytime I don’t show up to the gym for a while she always asked if I was in trouble by the government…. wtf.
