First time going back to a costco in quite a while and I'm disappointed that they don't serve/provide onions with the hotdogs any more. Rotisserie chicken is still good.

[GIZZ]

Speaking of rotisserie chicken, I saw they also added cooked/ready to serve BBQ ribs. Anybody try this yet?

[StylinRed]

They've had it for awhile, my father likes em, I haven't tried

[bcrdukes]

For you coffee geeks out there, both newbies and addicts, some Costco locations have the Braun K9170SI on sale for $149.99. It's a multi-brew coffee maker capable of brewing coffee a variety of ways, and is SCA certified. A great buy and alternative to the Technivorm Moccamaster at less than half the price. This unit is regularly $265 or so.

[CRS]

Anyone seen these tire totes at a local costco?

[320icar]

Couple years ago sure but not the last 3-4 years

[Hehe]

Any know which Costco still has the Kirkland Pet Bed?

I think the one I have has reached the limit of its service life. Kitties love them... so, I want to replace it with the same one.

Was at Surrey Costco and they didn't have it anymore.

[smoothie.]

Speaking of rotisserie chicken, I saw they also added cooked/ready to serve BBQ ribs. Anybody try this yet?

yeah theyre good with some bbq sauce on em or as is depending on your taste buds

still creek doesnt have em, had to go to brighton

Holy cow.. what's happening at Costco Willingdon? Around 10am. I couldn't even find a spot to park. I drove in circled a few time and left ..

[Hondaracer]

The demographic which goes to that location is in panic mode

[TouringTeg]

Not surprised especially with the new restrictions in the lower mainland.

Stocking up to reduce your trips out for shopping feels like one of the few things you have control over. We stocked up on non-perishables last week so we don't have to go to Costco for a while.

[punkwax]

The demographic which goes to that location is in panic mode

Not so fast... Langley was obscenely busy yesterday as well.

[Hondaracer]

Yea I dunno which one is worse lol

[bcrdukes]

People are stocking up in anticipation for the 5 minutes of snow forecasted. It's the end of the world.

[Gerbs]

Speaking of rotisserie chicken, I saw they also added cooked/ready to serve BBQ ribs. Anybody try this yet?

The ribs that are pre-marinated self baked is 2x better at half the price. More tender and juicy.

[Hondaracer]

The full rack of ribs? They are great with the honey chipotle marinade etc

However the downside of those ones are they need to cook for 2 hours

[Obsideon]

Richmond and Downtown Costco's seem to be out of TP again.

[Mikoyan]

Richmond and Downtown Costco's seem to be out of TP again.

I haven't seen TP at the Willingdon Costco in weeks

[MG1]

So many at 8:00 am. Get your grandparents to go at 8:00 am during seniors' hour, or go at 9:00. If the number of seniors in the warehouse is low, they let regular customers in early. I think they make the call at 8:30 am.

I go to the Brighton Avenue location and they have lots there in the mornings. I haven't been to the Willingdon location in a couple of days, but when I was, they had a shitload in stock. Could they sell out that quickly?

Honestly, I have not purchased toilet paper in a long ass time. This pandemic is not making me shit more............. Paper towels I can see running out, because you need to disinfect and whatnot, but toilet paper?

[VR6GTI]

You can always order TP online. Buy 3 cases be good for a long time

[CRS]

I haven't seen TP at the Willingdon Costco in weeks

I saw and bought TP there just last week.

[MG1]

I’m at Willingdon Costco right now. 20 pallets of TP. Each pallet is 6 feet high. I’ll upload pics later when I get home. It’s amazing. A wall full of TP and paper towels.

[MG1]

As promised............ Kleenex section to the left and bottled water to the right.

I broke down and purchased those hazelnut cream filled donut things. Not bad at all. Not as good as Angel Doughnuts from Duffin's, but not bad. Everytime I see those things, the produced date is always the day before and the expiry is one day after. W - T - F ?

Oh, Bailley's Original Irish Cream creamers were on sale. They're non alcoholic, but what the hell. I'll try anything once. It says on the bottles, made with real cream. 2 x 1 Litre bottles for $7.99.

WTF is up with these lineups again? Did something change?

For the last few weeks there hasn't been any lineups to get into the Willingdon Costco, I tried going the last 2 days and both the Production Way and Willingdon locations had long ass lineups at friggin' 2 in the afternoon on a weekday.

This have to do with the new restrictions? I just drove on past and said fuck it, not about to lineup in the cold and rain for coconut water and toilet paper :lol

[MarkyMark]

Nothing changed... it's just more people are doing some panic-shopping again.

I was at Richmond Costco last morning. The line looked bad (past the parking lot entry/exit to Bridgeport Rd), but it moved relatively quickly... I was lining up from there to the warehouse in about 5min... definitely a lot better than the previous lockdown when 15min+ wait was normal.

Anyway, I'm well stocked (still). At least 2packs each for TP, PT and Kleenex. Also easily 1+ mth of supply for food/drink if it comes to that. Only thing not enough is milk... but I also have some milk powder that I can use in absolute emergency. Actually just went to Costco Richmond for my pet bed. :D... I know I know... priorities...

I think the lesson is... just stock up on everything that's non-perishable/frozen stuff you can easily rotate. This virus will be with us for easily another 6mth to a year.

[mikemhg]

If all I want to do is grab a couple hot dogs, am I a douche bypassing the line and going through the exit instead, straight to the food area? :lol

This is standard practice if you're just going to get food.

[Obsideon]

It's only douchey if you try to walk from that side after you eat your dogs haha.
I stocked up random stuff last Sunday, no lines and actually not that busy inside. Yeah there was no TP but I'm good for that. I just grabbed a bunch of random frozen and canned foods. Trying some new items I've never had from Costco before like French Onion Soup, etc.

[underscore]

The last 2 grocery orders I made the TP was OOS. I'm going to be eyeing my least favourite socks pretty quick here.

Have you guys been able to get Lysol wipes with your Costco delivery orders? I can never find them listed.

[StylinRed]

I haven't seen tp available in store for awhile now, but I ordered it from their website and it arrived in two days

For wipes I just purchased from Amazon when they were available, but those sold out fast

[Obsideon]

I was at Robson London Drugs 20 min ago. Tons of stock of every brand. It's not as crazy as the first rush in March.

[punkwax]

Have you guys been able to get Lysol wipes with your Costco delivery orders? I can never find them listed.

I’ve found them listed as available/in stock but every time I’ve tried to order them they won’t deliver to my postal code. This has been going on since March so I’m fairly confident it’s not going to happen until things are back to normal. That said, anytime I’m shopping Costco delivery I try again.

While on the subject of ordering online, I tried Costco’s yellow fin tuna for poke and was very happy with it. According to reviews it may be hit or miss so YMMV but my batch was quite good so no complaints. Luckily I got 10lbs for $150 and it’s up to $190 now but I’ll order again as it’s a hit for the whole family https://www.costco.ca/oceanprime-yellow-fin-tuna-poke.product.100521237.html

https://i.imgflip.com/4m1sfx.jpg

^this was my first attempt. I’ve made the tuna marinade a lot lighter with less soy to preserve the nice pink of the natural tuna since this pic was taken. I don’t have any pics of more recent attempts. Plating poke for 5 is time consuming and I just wanna eat when it’s done lol

Edit: also did a poor man’s replication of Nobu’s Yellowtail sashimi with jalapeño which was another way to play with the ingredient. It didn’t turn out nearly as great as the real deal but was still good though lol.. has anyone here tried Nobu’s version? So damn good. Had it in Vegas and NY.. man I want to travel again!

I'm going again tomorrow, lol. I'm trying to clean up the garage. I bought those wire racks today. They work really well, so getting another one tomorrow. Willingdon only received two layers of Lysol Wipes this morning. I found out Brighton also received a limited amount. I'm thinking each location gets a pallet. They put aside what they need for the warehouse and sell the rest. Just a guess. Every dairy case has a Lysol Wipes canister for customer use. Must go through a fair amount over the course of the day.

I don't order a hot dog early in the morning, but I made an exception today. And yes, they DO NOT HAVE ANY ONIONS............

I got my fill of onions at KMS Tool's 3 Day Sale. Gawd, those smokies are so damn good. Caramelized onions, ftmfw!

You can do that most times I find, walked into USA Costco many times before just tagging in with other families (white privilege!) but when you go to pay they want your card.

I used to grab flats of Mexico Coke and then I’d just ask someone in line to buy it for me and give them the price plus some cash lol

I shit you not. Lots of TP. They had some Lysol Wipes again this morning. This one lady was taking two and was about to take a third. I mentioned to her in a calm Dr. Henry voice, “There’s a limit of one.” There were only a couple left, so I didn’t get any. There’s hoarding, then there’s Whoreding.

[CivicBlues]

Does anyone else think this thread encourages hoarding? Nothing against you MG1 just my thoughts.

What the hell are people still hoarding Lysol wipes for? Are you people STILL wiping down your groceries? Fomite transmission is rare and you should be washing your hands/sanitizing anyways - which is the vector viruses come into you anyways.

I bought 4 tubs of Lysol wipes at the beginning of the pandemic and still have 3 full ones sitting around. I basically only use it when I go pump gas or when I decide to eat in the car.

Even if they took more than one the cashier would have likely took it away. I went to buy a few things this morning including paper towel and kleenex. I took 2 kleenex's not realizing it was a limit of one and the cashier took one away advising all paper products had a limit of 1 per membership.

It's nice to finally see wipes in general easily accessible now in stores be it not Lysol brand for those who really care. It isn't at the level of hand sanitizer but it's still easy to get.

Guy goes to multiple locations several times a week.

Who is the hoarder?

[Sw0op]

definitely the one who takes multiple packages at a time is a hoarder

if you go to different locations throughout the week youre at least giving a chance to others to grab some while they are in stock. There is no guarantee there is stock at a future date

I use them to wipe down the plug at the charging stations. I also clean the other plug for whoever uses them next. If the wipe still looks useable, I clean the buttons, the cable, and the rest of the unit.

They use cane sugar instead of corn syrup, it tastes noticeably different (for the better) than USA / Canada Coke...

[mikemhg]

The difference is the use of sugar, versus corn syrup. Pepsi makes a similar product.

[MG1]

Another great item they have at Costco are those little hand warmers. No batteries required. Chemical reaction. I remember throwing in a pack of them in the kids’ Halloween bags along with the chocolates. Don’t know why I stopped doing it. If and when they go on sale, I’ll get a couple of boxes for next Halloween. I’ve been using them lately when gardening in the backyard. Fricken leaves and branches, lol. Sometimes I leave them in my glove for too long. I’m on faiya!

Edit: Just remembered. I gave them out to the parents who were with their kids, not the goodie bag. I remember how cold and miserable it was having to go trick or treating with my own kids.

The things we parents do for our kids, eh?

Not me.......... I go to Costco to get other items. I go to Costco as often as I can, because I love the place. Sometimes I leave without buying a thing. I have posted ways people can get those wipes at Costco. I've given heads up on when things will become available at Costco. Hell, I've even given and resold items to people on RS who really needed it. Honestly, if you, B!tch, PM'd me telling me you've tried everything in your power and couldn't get the wipes, I would gladly give you some. Instead, you post here about others hoarding?

Let me tell you what hoarding is.......... People who retire and go work under the table while collecting their pension. I retired when I could, because I believe young people need jobs. I miss my job. I made a difference at my job. I could have kept working. I live a comfortable life, but don't believe in taking more than I need. Now, do I go about doing something about those people who take more than they need? No, because I would then be judging them.

Don't take this the wrong way, but get some help if you have mental issues........


god bless

[MG1]

I always thought it was better because Mexican Coke used natural cane sugar as supposed to fructose corn syrup?

Oh, don't get me going on high fructose corn syrup in ketchup. It makes ketchup taste like Xindi Ass (not that I've tasted Xindi Ass - watching reruns of Enterprise, ATM). This is why I take good ol' Canadian ketchup with me when I travel south of the border. No wAnder Amuricans are so edgy............ everything they consume has high fructose corn syrup in it. If that doesn't do it, "pink slime," will.

[Obsideon]

Trailing slightly off topic but honestly even without all the exposure regarding the american mcnuggets I could clearly taste the difference in texture and flavour. It was quite disconcerting... I was super drunk and I still only ate 1 and tossed the rest of my 20pc, that's how bad it was.

[MG1]

When I go shopping for meat and poultry, I make note of where the product comes from. US inspected meat scares the hell out of me. I have no proof or have I researched it extensively, but I simply don't trust the USFDA. Not because they're dishonest, but because a lot of weird stuff is allowed to be in their meats and poultry. The chicken used in the US McNuggets could be pumped with all kinds of chemicals. The price difference between our nuggets and theirs might be because of this? No idea, but every time I go eat at MCD's, Bugger King, Jack in her Box, etc. in the US, I get ill soon afterward.

Maybe the border closure is a blessing in disguise.

[Obsideon]

When you bite into the McGloop in the states it's almost spongey and looks smooth ... hard to describe, ah! It looks exactly like the inside of a boiled Chinese fish ball

Went to Willingdon Costco during seniors hour to get some milk and flowers. The hand warmers I mentioned, were on sale.

I go through 4 litres of milk in just under two weeks. Costco's milk expires close to 18 days. Always fresh.

[MG1]

Eagle has landed. The Vulcan blue gloves are in. At least at the Willingdon location. Limit of one. Don’t worry, Flip, I got one for you. I have enough and I don’t want to be branded a hoarder, gulolol.

[MG1]

I was going to say these are not Kirkland brand. They are the Vulcan ones that mechanics use. Indigo/Blue in colour. They didn't have Xtra Small, Asian size, so got you a box of Large, lol.

[Hondaracer]

Man, like the usual prime rib packs of burgers are pretty good, just Jesus you guys gotta try making your own from the organic ground beef.

Take one pack of the ground beef out of the fridge let it warm up a bit, doesn’t have to be room temp just a bit more pliable. Add one egg, mix and form burgers.

We have those fancy little metal rings with the tamper to make fancy looking towers of food so I use these to make 4 patties from the pound. DO NOT ADD Salt/Pepper

Once they are formed put them on parchment paper and let them chill in the fridge for a few hours, can be overnight etc.

Rub with a tiny bit of olive oil and slap them on the grill, now season with salt and pepper, wait till they free themselves on the grill, usually 3-5 minutes. Flip, season, couple minutes lid down, add cheese, let it melt and take them off.

Best burgers you can make imo. Adding all the other shit into the mix just takes away from the burger imo. These are the tastiest burgers ever, so good

[underscore]

For ground beef I get the burger patties from the butcher section if I can, since they're straight ground beef just in the shape of a burger it's the same as the big slab but way easier to freeze in portions.

[jerche]

I am not sure if this has been mentioned before but Costco recently restocked on the frozen 3 pack duck breasts for $16.99

I think this is a great deal! Usually one duck breast is $10-$12. I already bought 12-15 packs already during the pandemic lol.

It's so easy to make too. Just salt and pepper and pan fry it. So good.

[MG1]

Ah, a fellow hoarder............ :bigthumb:

[MG1]

I’m at Costco looking for XMas gifts. The Brighton Avenue location still have the blue nitrile gloves in stock. For any of you who are still looking for then. Limit of one

[MG1]

Also, Sun Rype Blue Label Apple Juice is on sale. Works out to $1 each. No big deal in itself as that’s the going sale price everywhere, but the ones they carry at Costco are the Organic ones. Haven’t seen those at your run of the mill food stores.

[dachinesedude]

is toilet paper limited to one per household? why are they running out every day, people are hoarding again?

[winson604]

is toilet paper limited to one per household? why are they running out every day, people are hoarding again?

People hoarding for sure. I went to Metrotown this morning to buy a pack of toilet paper and it was semi chaotic. Granted I only buy Charmin so I'm already limiting myself.

1st stop Superstore, No charmin but the entire toilet paper aisle was fairly wiped out. About 5% of stock left at around 830am

2nd stop Walmart, No Charmin but they were fairly stocked with Royale and other brands

3rd stop T&T, well they don't have a huge stock to begin with but they were about 50% stocked and I grabbed the last Charmin blue, had a few of the ultra strongs left.

To your other question, yes limit of 1 on all paper products including kleenex as well when I went 1.5 weeks ago. Even online it limits you to 1 when you add more than 1 to the cart.

[bcrdukes]

Question for the Costco Pro's / Elite Couponers

I'm a costco noob and buy things when I need them. Later I notice the items have gone on sale and I usually have shredded the receipt.
How can I request a price adjustment?
What is the price adjustment period?

[jerche]

Ah, a fellow hoarder............ :bigthumb:

The funny thing is...I am not even hoarding, I buy 2-3 packs at a time and actually finish them loool.

[MG1]

30 days with receipt. That's the new rule. I was talking to one of the people at the return desk. She told me most people keep their receipts in an envelope and leave it in their car. That way, when something they bought last week goes on sale, they look through their receipts. I always keep receipts up in the visor. Just today, I got $5.00 back for a pack of 9 volt batteries that are on sale this week. I purchased them three weeks ago. I needed 9 volts for a bunch of water leak detectors I purchased. They all use 9 volts. Anyway, I knew batteries go on sale always in November. Never in December when you need them the most (Xmas toys and shit). BTW, hoarding batteries are never a good idea. Even though it says guaranteed for 10 years, they don't. Well, they do, but when you use them, they don't last very long. It's like people who buy milk without checking the date. One person told me, "I'll use it by that date." Yeah, but why not buy one that's way fresher. Not one that's two days from expiry.


Forgot to add, a supervisor can override that rule. I actually had that happen with an air purifier I no longer needed. It wasn't opened. Maybe that's why? I'd try. Never hurts to try.

[bcrdukes]

The funny thing is...I am not even hoarding, I buy 2-3 packs at a time and actually finish them loool.

Don't take it personally. It's more of an inside joke where someone insinuated or perhaps even accused MG1 of being a hoarder and we just ran with the joke. The original comment was a bit over the top, and quite frankly, unnecessary.

For the record @MG1 I don't have any issue or care what people buy. I just don't like or appreciate it when people run at things like a mad dash or if their life depended on it and buy more than what's really necessary for themselves (i.e. masks at the peak of COVID.)

I guess they're just overwhelmed by people returning stuff at the drop of a hat. People really take advantage of the return policy. I guess that's why it's at the discretion of the supervisory staff. They're forced to place limits. Time of 30 days is enough. Plus, having to present a receipt is what most places put in place as a rule. Someone could have purchased the same item from a place like Wal Mart and return it at Costco, although most items have a Costco specific bar code.

[Hondaracer]

They’ve been making a bit bigger of a deal for returns with no receipt recently.

I bought a ceiling fan online in June and returned it unopened in October just because it wasn’t going to work. It still had the stupid Costco shipping slip taped on the box. The guy gave me a bit of attitude in that I needed the order number at least etc. I said my wife and I are both on the joint account and I could provide name, email, date, etc. But I didn’t have the order number and the stupid packing slip didn’t have it either..

He kinda just stood there doing nothing while I attempted to call the wife to get the number because she ordered it through the app, when that wasn’t going anywhere eventually he dug around and found it. But yea I think they are giving a little more pushback lately, if you can call that push back

[TouringTeg]

This is interesting to hear. Yes they can use your membership card to look up your purchases but online is different. It always used to be you could return without receipt but you would get the last price in the system. So if your item went on clearance (ending in .97) that is the amount you would get back.

Sounds like a lot of people are using Costco online and local warehouses are dealing with piles of returns. My local Costco has signs up no returns on Lysol wipes, toilet paper, rice etc.

And yes one toilet paper per family at Langford. Been like that for a while now.

Superstore on Grandview Hwy had Charmin a few hours ago when I was there.

Always hit and miss funny thing the Grandview location is the location I usually go to cause I lived close to there for a number of years. I'm a few mins closer to the Metro one now and because the weather sucked this morning I opted for cover st Metro which is my most hated version but it was early and I was literally going to be in and out.

Found a jar of Safie Sweet Beets in the back of the pantry. So good. Perfect with Curry. Not cheap, but it's something I treat myself to once in a while. Good shelf life, too. Frugal me likes to dump canned beets in the left over liquid (brine, juice, whatever) to get money's worth. Although nowhere near the freshness. Nothing like freshly opened jar of pickled beets. A regular item at Costco. I discovered it at the Bellingham Costco a few years back. Samples do work. I fell in love with it at first bite. My mother made home made pickled beets and this product is so close to the ones she used to make. It's slightly better............ sorry, mom.

I believe they started producing them in China several years ago. They used to all be made in the US and now only the higher end models are made in the USA. Youll have to look up the feedback on Chinese made webers cuz I don't know if they're good or not.

The Spirit E-330 is their basic model. Made in China, but that's ok, still has the warranty, and is generally pretty good.

It's a good grill, 699 is a good price for it. Spend the extra over the Nexgrill or whatever other brand Costco sells usually, as it will last longer.

[Hondaracer]

I have the Weber spirit Costco sells not sure if it’s still that model or not

Mine has the 3 burners plus the broiler grill as well as the element on the side. I believe I paid around the same. I’ve had older Weber’s in the past snd the quality seems just as good. The only downside I noticed right off the bat is they have the ceramic coated grill grates as opposed to the full stainless ones.

Imo for the price probably hard to beat and it’s more grill than most people need

[punkwax]

I’m disappointed in the Napoleon I have. My niece won it and gifted it to me so good thing I didn’t pay for it but after 4 years of regular use it’s probably on its last season already.

My next BBQ will be a Weber made in the USA.

I don't own one myself, but a recently purchased some home appliances from TA Appliances here in Toronto. I learned through the sales rep that they are also the manufacturer of Broil King and I think some Weber BBQs here in Ontario.

I have a Napoleon Rogue and can't say I love it - it's not as hot as I would expect and flareups are way too frequent IMO. Napoleon has good reviews though - they're generally considered as good as Weber so maybe it's a case of buying the cheaper Chinese made one.

Another things you can do to reduce flare-ups is to clean the grill box and the burner caps (the triangle hoods) underneath regularly. I use a paint scraper to get everything off into the box, and then scrape it out into the grease tray every 3-4 months depending on how often I use it.

Also, if you get GrillGrates it will help to reduce the flare-ups. I am a believer in them now after having them for two seasons. Better searing, more even heat, and much less flare-ups than before - only when I do something super fatty like pork belly, even then the flaring is very minimal.

You gotta step up to the Prestige (Mine is 5 years old and absolutely fantastic). The rogue are the Chinese made low end line. The Prestige lines are the Canadian made ones and are way higher quality. This is why you see the Rogues in box stores like Home Depot and Prestiges in specialized dealers.

Good call - I just happened to buy some degreaser and cleaner a few hours ago with the plan to do a deep clean off the grill box. It definitely needs some love.

Get a paint scraper or flat blade of some kind to scrape down the sides of the box. Works much better than shop towels or whatever else... scrape it down. If you need, you could even powerwash the burner hoods and grates if they're especially dirty.

Definitely consider them, they're worth the investment. Look out for the seconds sale for a much cheaper set, nobody will care that it doesn't match cosmetically lol.

Re: Spirit E330 - Wirecutter consistently recommends the Spirit grills for most people. As long as it's got 3 burner you're golden.

Beyond the additional capacity, what's the advantage of a 3 burner? (Small family, and we're not the type to have 20 friends over lol).

[hud 91gt]

More hot yo! I have a 2 burned and to get good searing temperatures I need to crank it for quite a while. Diverse cooking zones is always handy too.

[Great68]

Quantity of burners doesn't necessarily correspond to heat output because burners can be different sizes/outputs themselves.

However more burners gives you the ability to better control of your heat zones, especially for indirect cooking.

[mikemhg]

Is it safe to spray the shit out of burners with water?

My BBQ is fairly new, a Webber, I clean the actual basket to remove the charred bits, but I've never fully cleaned the burners or anything.

Is there an easy way to do so without taking the stupid thing apart?

[Hondaracer]

Do yours have that triangle shroud over them?

When I removed mine the burners themselves were still super clean

It wouldn't be normal to really have any gunk inside the burner,
You shouldn't really need to spray into them with water. I mean I guess you could, but the concern would be getting them dry inside after.

What normally happens if you use your BBQ a lot is the burner's flame holes will get carbon buildup, which effectively reduces their size and performance. My Napoleon gave me a little kit with a drill bit and tiny pipe brush which I use once a year to open them all up again.

[mikemhg]

Ya they're covered, but just notice some carbon build up.

So no water, just poke the shit out of the holes, essentially?

BBQ consists of metal tubes with holes in them, covered by some sheet metal heat shields in a metal box. With a couple 1.5v batteries connected somewhere down the line to a little igniter. You could hit that thing with a fire hose and it’s not going to do shit but make a greasy mess of your deck lol. May need to dru out your igniter but that’s about it. I hit my BBQ with a hose/degreaser every couple seasons. If it went completely under water maybe you would have a regulator issue. Not sure, never taken one apart. Honestly just a solid scrub with the BBQ brush is plenty most of the time. The only issue with some of the cheaper stainless BBQs is they will rust out. I’m sure water sitting in there won’t help that situation.

Here is my BBQ. It’s over 20 years old, I use it 3-5 days a week year round. Just took this two minutes ago. https://i.ibb.co/jJ4x71P/107353-F9-A8-E2-43-CE-83-EE-A1-C86-E2-FE661.png

Beyond the additional capacity, what's the advantage of a 3 burner? (Small family, and we're not the type to have 20 friends over lol).

3 burner makes it easier to do stuff like smoking meats or for indirect cooking. With 3 burners you can run 1 burner and still have more than half the grill for indirect cooking or smoking.

A couple Xmas' ago I slow cooked a prime rib on the bbq with 1 burner going - it was bloody amazing. Next time I'm gonna put a bit of wood in there to give some smokiness.

Also makes it easier to manage the heat in your box - if I've got something that drips a lot but I need the heat I turn down the burner underneath the drippy stuff and keep the other 2 burners cranked.

I got this last week for $189 and imo its a really good deal. Other comparable benches i see being twice as much. I needed a bench for me to work on my little projects in my garage and it also replaces my 5 year old small 5 drawer tool box which i surprisingly sold on FB for $150 within an hour. I think i bought it originally for that much. The bench is twice the size of my old one, and with the 3 drawers, has top storage, and bottom storage and u can store tools underneath the wood piece aswell.

I actually chopped and welded it in more places then I’d of be willing to tell an insurance company. Sadly it’s still not quite right. So once I get the burner situation figured out, I’ll purchase the new flavoruizer bars and start Cookin.

All good things must come to an end. Seniors hour will cease to exist as of August 23. And, they’re open today until normal weekday 8:30 pm closing. For sure I thought they’d be closed for civic holiday.

Has anyone seen the Clicgear 4.0 golf cart locally? I missed out on the Caddytek golf cart a few months back.

[MG1]

Damn, I purchased a case of Starbucks Double Shot Espresso. So good at ice cold temperatures. They were on sale, too. Unfortunately all sold out. Good news is, they’ll be back in stock in a couple of days. AND, they’re on sale till the 8th of August. One of their most popular items, according to one of the workers.

I’m more excited about this than some AC unit or an air purifier……………. Okay, maybe not.

And I’m not even a coffee person. Gulolol.

[fliptuner]

Has anyone seen Medicom Vulcan Nitrile gloves at Costco lately? The ones they have now are crap.

I keep looking, but no luck. All of a sudden, my hoarding pays off. Life's a B!tch..........

I think the ones they have now is what they are going to carry from now on. Sad.

Caved in and have an AC coming, hopefully there's still some hot temperature coming

Now that you got one, it’s going to cool down and before you know it, it’s going to be winter, gulolol.

If anyone ever see's the last left over remnants of that 5 person inflatable party island they had at the beggining of the summer if you buy it for me I’ll toss ya $20 for the hassle and pick it up. Of course I waited too long to buy :(

It’s $129 I believe, it’s a different thing priced above there

At this point it’s likely somthing that’s either at the front with those random sale items or on a dolly in one of the isles with the marked down stuff. Either way if anyone buys it for me I’ll be more than happy to pay for the trouble. Let’s say if this post is still up I’m still looking! Appreciate it

Call Costco with that item number and they will tell you right away if it is in stock and where. They will even tell you if they are getting any more in this year or not, and if they are, when.

Choose "1" on your phone as soon as you get the prompt.

I call them all the time. Both Willingdon and Brighton Avenue locations are really good with helping customers with requests for info on products they carry.

the "party islands" they make nowadays are pretty pathetic compared to the old ones.

i have the "capri island" or what ever it's called from like 8 or 9 years ago. thing is massive and LEGIT.

pulled it out last weekend for the first time in a few years....love that thing


we used to put 12 people on it going down the canal in penticton...and that includes some big dudes.....rated for 6 people lol

[Hondaracer]

My main attraction to this one was the price

For $120 or whatever it was, it was like half the price or cheaper than Canadian tire comparable etc. And I’m sure it’s as good if not better quality

[mikemhg]

How the fuck do you guys keep your floaties surviving for more than a year or two, especially the bigger ones?

It seems like every year we drop cash on floaties use them for the summer, by the next year they're losing air on canal and we're left swimming down the rest of the way?

[JDMDreams]

^ I just use dollar store ones

[MG1]

Oh for the love of Loki, I just called Costco about the cans of Starbucks Double Shot Espresso, and after they strung me along for a few days, the item has now been deleted from their system. In other words no more available, even though it's a sale item. Lol, probably for the better. Can't be good for you.

normally when Costco puts items for sale it's because it's been discontinued from their system.

[MG1]

As of today seniors hours are back, but only two days out of the week. It was like this a while back, before they went full on with 6 days a week. Anyway, it's only on Tuesdays and Thursdays now.

[PeanutButter]

Just wanted to tell you guys that we went to Costco last week and the first time since getting my membership in June, our Costco bill was under $200.

So damn proud of ourselves. I don't know how, but we always spend so much when we're there.

I'm hoping we can keep it under $200, otherwise I don't think getting a membership is good for us... lol

[punkwax]

Pretty sure my last bill was nearly $600.. family of 5 and we go just about monthly.

But hey, I don’t wanna brag or anything, but I am an executive member :cool:

[Hondaracer]

I’m between 280-350 every 2 weeks.. 2 people lol

[Durrann]

anyone try kitkat icecream bars? my friends rave about them.

[Euro7r]

I think it's hard to walk out of Costco without dropping at least $200 LOL

[Presto]

^^^
No doubt. Just 3 or 4 items, and that takes the bill past $100 :D

[Vansterdam]

finna get that smaller size ninebot electric scooter if I can find it in stock and get a friend to grab me it

[Coren]

they don't taste like kitkat at all. if you are expecting kitkat be disappointed like i was

What is there to brag about?

I look forward to the cash back. More than pays for the membership. Plus, you get companion card. I gave mine to my son. They don't need to know he doesn't live in the same household. I have the Capital One Costco card as well as the executive card, so three cards. I don't use the Capital One at Costco, lol. It's for getting me 3% cash back on restaurant purchases, including McDicks, A&W, Bugger King, etc. And, believe it or not, Fujiya. It's classified as a restaurant. Who ever set up the credit card category, they put in "restaurant." Anyway groceries 3% using Triangle World Elite.

Anyway......................

As a family of 7 we definitely make our Executive Members cards cashback worth it lol

Or people can sit on the left and right ends of the table.. it’s not a desk. I could play cards with someone at that table.

The good thing about Costco is you can call in and ask which location has stock. Just need to provide the product number.

I misplaced my Executive Only (not bragging, lol) Coupons and wanted to know which shredded cheese was going to go on sale in round two. Well, these people/person has everything you ever wanted to know about Costco, including reviews. Wow! Still RS is relevant, because it's much easier to ask questions on here.

I purchased the last ones they had at the downtown location. I was in the area doing my laundry.

They were sold out at all locations, except downtown. No more available. Before I get abused by some B!tch!, I use them for my Halloween displays. I'm not whore-ding them, gulolol.

If you have the Item number, https://www.revscene.net/forums/717057-all-things-costco-18.html#post9035565. As I recall, it was one of those 'one time' things the manufacturer/distributor offers to Costco. Overstock or introductory promo. Want to get your product out there? Costco's the place. I've often wAndered, how Costco picks and chooses brands and items they carry. Is it popularity, profitability, returnability, if not popular, etc. Kickback to the corporate buyers?

Still waiting on the Medicom Vulcan disposables............ no glove, no love.

Wasn't it you who wrote at one time about how life is too short, be the bigger man, don't be petty, etc etc. Wise wisdom I thought.

And yet, here you are still calling out another user over a YEAR later?

I want to say "grow up" but that would be ironic.

Wow......... I'm out of word.

Has it been a year already? Time flies when you're having fun. You keep track of everything, like a.......... Anyway........... you do you.

anyone seen that pineapple drink in the glass bottle around? wanted to try it but don't see it anymore the last couple of times i went to costco

[MG1]

I'm into pineapples. I buy the juice in the tetra pak from Costco, but didn't know they had them in bottles. Do you remember the brand? I'm heading out this afternoon. wait........ later this afternoon.

[bcrdukes]

:suspicious:

[lilaznviper]

dont remember. all i remember was it was at the end of the isle near the drink section, in bottle form in a pack of 12

[MG1]

Ah, I got those when they were still available. Fanta Pineapple. I purchased three of them ‘cause they were limited production. I’m on my last case. They’re good when ice cold. Warm, not so much. The pineapple offsets my saltiness, Gulolol.

“Fun” fact. The salinity (not senility) of the water from the Dead Sea is ten times that of ocean water.

Butt, there’s saltier bodies of water on our planet.

[MG1]

It’s that time of year. Costco has bulbs out for sale. Daffodils, Narcissus, Crocus, Tulips, etc. You plant in fall and they bloom in early spring. I couldn’t find any Irises. I purchased them from Costco last year and every one of them bloomed.

[lilaznviper]

was at costco last night, and the return pile had several danby ACs. wondering if they work or just DOA and needed a return

[MG1]

Speaking of salt.......... Costco carries Himalayan Rock Salt, Mediterranean Sea Salt, your run of the mill, iodized table salt, but no Kosher Salt. Has anyone seen Kosher Salt at Costco?

[punkwax]

No but superstore sells kosher salt super cheap.

[MG1]

No but superstore sells kosher salt super cheap.

Thanks........... will look into it.

[Eatman]

Returns, my buddy that works upstairs said they had about 200k worth of AC units returned recently. Some pretty shitty people out there IMO

[RiceIntegraRS]

My parents had one but they didnt like it cause it was too complicated and too loud for them and my neighbor had one aswell and he said it was like there was an rocket engine in there living room.

[Hondaracer]

Both cases probably would have been resolved by looking up a review. That’s also just ignorant consumerism as the standup units with the most BTU with the lowest price are -always- going to be loud.

Straight to the dump they go!

[Razor Ramon HG]

Going to wait for them to show up on openbox.ca

If only somehow we can buy those AC units they have in Asia. The ones you mount on the wall. They're super strong and quiet too.

Ordered this online, but shipping was taking longer then I had expected. So I called in to see if I could get it shipped to the island where I was going to be to put my boat away for the year.

https://www.costco.ca/classic-accessories-typhoon-boat-cover.product.100103764.html

The lady couldn’t help me, but she did say they were possibly showing stock in Langley. I call the store, yup 13 in stock.

I get there, $49.97!!! I bought 2. Hahaha felt like such a score.

[MG1]

The “spread eagle” tables are back in stock and on sale. $19.99. About 20 left at Willingdon

If anyone is wanting all season tires Costco has some pretty good rebates right now, just picked up a set of Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires for just under $205.00 a corner taxes in ($130.00 instant rebate) it looks like there is going to be a major winter tire shortage so don't get caught if you are wanting to upgrade.

[MG1]

Wow, Costco Bellingham is making some nice changes. Starting off with a Costco Carwash. They broke ground and are working on the supply lines (water and electrical). On the way out today, I noticed something interesting. Drove up to it and realized it's a tire filling station. Two pumps where you just dial in the psi you need and the station beeps and stops once the target is reached. Same system they use in the tire shop. And yes, it's nitrogen, gulolol.

Also, I notice after two years of it being in place people still don't get the LED pump icons at the top of the entrance to each island. They are either lit red or green. Red means the pumps are being used. Green means a spot is available. I don't know how many times I've had to get out of the car to tell people to move forward into those spots. It's a great feature, but nobody seems to get it. In any case the gas at Costco is always cheapest in the area. Not even close. Even after the discounts you get at Fred Meyer and the casinos. Plus, it's Top Tier gas, gulolol. Gas was $4.99/gallon for regular grade on Monday.


Forgot to mention. Chicken Bake from the deli - so good. I even purchased two boxes of the frozen ones.

MG1 - do you know if the gas pumps now take the digital Costco cards or do I still need my physical card? I always keep forgetting to bring my physical card so I haven't gone to get gas since pre-pandemic.

[MG1]

I have no idea. I always have my card with me. If I forget the Executive Card, I have the Costco Mastercard as a backup. I see this red scanning thing blinking on the pumps. Could that be the reader? Best to call them.

[Gerbs]

Debating if I should buy the wet vac at costco for $80. Regret not getting it for $50 awhile back to vacuum interior of car.

[MG1]

From my experience, you cannot beat a Ridgid shop vac from Home Depot. The one's sold at Costco are sub par. Not everything at Costco is great. In fact, most non food items at Costco are not anywhere near good to best quality. Cheap, maybe, but that's about it.

Just my two bits. With Ridgid, you can get replacement parts and accessories, while anything from Costco not so much.


And, the Ridgid shop vacs at Home Depot go on sale once in a while. Black Friday, Labour Day, Boxing Day, Fathers Day, etc.......


Just an example, I was pretty tired of things being blown around by the exhaust. Diffuser from Home Depot. Problem solved. HEPA filter? Yup, they carry various types of filters. Accessories like special attachments, all available at Home Depot. I have three Ridgid vacs at home. Some as old as 20+ years. At work (when I was still working) Ridgid took helluva beating, like dropped down stairs and loading docks, lol. Still works. Just have to red green it.


Haha......... just remembered an incident that happened at the processing plant I worked at. These two fellas got into an argument in the lunch room Fight ensued. one guy fell backwards onto a Ridgid shop vac. The vac top came apart. The other guy picks up the hose with the top still attached, He swung it around hitting the side of the building and other objects. Long story short. I was supervisor/crew chief. I made sure management didn't find out about the altercation. The two combatants were brothers, lol. Only brothers would fight like that. The Ridgid shop vac......... survived.

[Razor Ramon HG]

I bought this Ridgid one last year for $79 on sale.

https://www.homedepot.ca/product/ridgid-nxt-34l-9-gal-4-25-peak-hp-wet-dry-shop-vacuum-with-filter-hose-and-accessories/1001180148

One of the best things I've ever bought. Just make sure you get the car cleaning kit, which for some reason is more expensive than the vacuum itself, lol.

https://www.homedepot.ca/product/ridgid-1-1-4-in-3-2-cm-premium-car-cleaning-accessory-kit-for-ridgid-wet-dry-shop-vacuums/1000527675

There's this one if you don't mind having something larger. It comes with the kit itself. You save $20 versus buying it separately.

[Hondaracer]

Rigid are probably preferred over the Costco one, agreed

I find however when using the Hepa filters, overtime you blow the motors fairly regularly. I bought a brand new rigid one when i started my renovations and ended up blowing the motor about a year in after vaccuming my attic out, drywall dust, etc. it’s too much work to hang out the filter all the time. However you’ll hear the motor sound different indicating it’s definitely time to bang it off

[68style]

What do you do when Mrs. Hondaracer makes a similar sound?

[TOS'd]

you use the LSA

[MG1]

While we’re on the subject of shop vacs, anyone try this thing?

[blkgsr]

guys use something similar on site, i've seen videos as well.

great idea to save your filters.
