COSTCO GENERAL

Why did Sam's Club change their pretzel recipe? That was the best.

i wish i had the answer

Mango salsa

What can an Amerifat buy at Costco to eat healthy?

My shopping list usually includes:

Frozen individually wrapped chicken breasts
Earthbound Farms "power" mix (kale, chard, spinach)
Baby carrots
Gargonzola/feta/cheddar cheese
2% milk
The 2.5 lb jar of unsalted mixed nuts
Sliced oven roasted turkey for the salads

I usually eat salads for 4 days straight but then I eat crap food such as takeout or something. Do I just need more willpower and self control?
I've started taking my pupper on half mile walks every day, will that be enough to start losing weight?

I get me the large tubs of hummus non-sabra hummus
the giant ass bags of pita chips
the 4lb boxes of falls brand bacon
then I am a weeb so I get myself a box of the veggie spring rolls and the frozen char siu bao

>>7691559
i think salads four days a week is great and walking your pupper. that is a nice shopping list as well

Their store brand bread is generally cheap and good. Same with their tortillas.

Their onions are ginormous and cheap.

They have the lowest prices on meat in general, but you have to buy a frickin huge amount of it. But if you have a vacuum sealer and a freezer, buy meat every 3 months, portion it out when you get home, vacseal it and freeze it.

Always get your yeast and spices at Costco or at least check their prices against the grocery store - a jar of cinnamon was $7 at the grocer but only $2.50 at Costco.

>>7691171

The automatic doors that let you leave.

whats the brand of hotdog that Sam's Club sell at their food court

>>7691559
Dump the dairy, you don't need it. Everything in the produce cooler and meat department is a good deal if you're meal prepping. Check /fit/ for a prep thread they always have one. True Roots sprouted rice and quinoa blend or just a big fucking bag of brown rice are healthy as fuck. If you buy bread, Oroweat is $1.50 more than the grocery store for 4x as much bread. Awesome deal.

Walk/jog with the pup a little longer and you're golden.

Churro

Walnuts, sour cream, still working on a hunk of Parmigiano-Reggiano.

>>7691666
kirkland

>>7691171

costco's 4 pack of frozen pizzas and frozen mini pizzas are the best frozen pizzas you can get and cheap. Also you can't beat the 1.50 hotdog and soda.

>>7691559

What's their store brand beer like?

>>7691835
The lightest tasting beer. Imagine diluted bud light.

But cheap as fuck tho

>>7691835

Good God i think i moght have just found something thta makes Natty Light sound appealing

>>7691835

Tastes like water and has a slight bread smell.

My frat's beer of choice.

>>7691807
no
the other shit is too dense and over-beaten it's basically a textureless paste

Oh cool a Costco thread.

Who /foodsampler/ here?

>>7691877
i think we are both right, i put olive oil and sumac berry grounds in the sabre and it gets to be more authentic, any grocery store version is going to a let down compared to fresh legit hummus

i forgot to mention

>tuna
its bretty gud deal

Best item at Costco, probably why I still have a membership. The price is fantastic compared to regular grocery store ($5 for 50 vs $5 for 12). Can't go back to regular tortillas now.

>>7691924
mohnica, these are the shit and way too convenient vs homemade.

anyone try that "pure Virgin cold press hipster coconut" juice its dank af but like 16 for four bottles

I keep hearing how good the Costco butchery is.
I've got a card but haven't gone in years now.

Is it worth going there for meat? Are the prices cheaper than other grocers?

>>7691961
vs other grocery stores yes(especially if you go organic), vs a local butcher only maybe not

Love those hepatitis A berry blends, mmm,, fugg yeess

>>7691985
Eh in my experience it's not cheaper actually more pricier by about 20% and even higher when grocery stores have sales. I live in LA so Mexican and Asian markets are good value for chicken, fish and beef and pork that aren't steaks and salmon. Steaks are bette compared to Ralph's or vons

Errrr....it's worth it to just buy a $4 potted plant until it gets robbed of all the leaves and/or dies. That stuff loses some oompfh just like jarred garlic.

that's actually a really decent slice of new york style pie.

>>7695299
>>7695297
Yeah that and all the fucking cheese they put on it, almost as much as a chicago pizza

>>7691171

whole side of salmon
muffins (if you want to get hella fat)
gigantic blocks of cheese... especially kerrygold dubliner, jarlsberg, and that god damned smoked gouda that is going to be responsible for my early death of massive coronary...
their refrigerated produce is all GOAT if you can eat all of it..
rotisserie chickens - of course..
if you are in the mood for steaks, their ribeyes are hella tight.
good place to buy whole beef tenderloins too if you are going to have a dozen people over and need to feed them like kings...

As a European American supermarkets fascinate me. So you need a membership for this particular supermarket ? Why ? From what I gather on your culture isnt Walmart way cheaper ? Is there a point to Costco ?

>mfw I volunteered at some charity event back when I was a starving college student
>they had probably fifteen pounds of those sandwich rolls left that they were going to throw away
>gave them to me instead, ate them for probably two weeks

I've never liked their soft serve ice cream, isn't it low fat? had those pizzas though, not bad for the price. I wanted to try the thin crust ones but the 4 pack probably won't fit in my freezer.

>>7691559
Tbh, you shouldn't be drinking anything but water.

>>7695345
For bulk purchases. They're basically selling at near wholesale prices to the general public, provided you have a membership.

For small quantity purchases, it's usually cheaper to just go to a regular supermarket.

>>7695521
Don't forget they give samples.

>>7695094
Aldi stores here tend to be in or around the ghetto and look pretty trashy. I still shop there sometimes, but in some aspects, it's literally lower than Walmart.

>>7695526
They give samples at regular supermarkets too.

>>7695345
They've also created a subculture too. I think there was a documentary or series of articles on it. Besides food Costco does
>vacations
>auto service
>furniture
>camping/sports gear
>house and office supplies
>glasses and pharmacy
>some places even sell coffins
>sell tickets to sports events and concerts

All at a special discounted price

Some people are basically fan boys and only shop there. It's great for people who can budget well and like to do everything in one place.

>>7695582
I would shop exclusively there, but they don't have a wide variety of produce, unfortunately.


Apparently, their olive oil is really good and high quality though.

I'm the autist who posted about the pizza earlier, but if you like frozen pizza try theirs. The 4 pack are amazing, big cubes of pepperoni and slices. The pack of small mini pizzas are great too, crust is like a pie crust almost.

It pays for itself even if you don't. They told me that if I don't get enough cash back to cover the difference between the standard and the executive, then they'd comp the difference.

>>7695710
this is horrible how can you like it?

>>7695755
I have their credit card, cash back for a variety of different things outside of costco like gas and groceries. I got like $180 back last year.

>>7695735
Odd, not in mine and I've been checking for over a year.

>>7695739
>the exective membership pays for itself if you buy enough
I spend less than $200 a month, usually around $150, so it isn't worth it.

Not worth the hassle.

>>7695773
Listen man first you put some oil in a pan and you stir fry your vegetables. Remove them to a bowl, then you fry up the chicken, put in the sauce, cook some rice. Add it all together and fuck is it good! Add sriracha for some spice!

Bought a bag of the peeled garlic months ago. I keep it in my freezer and it's still more than half full, I find it's easier to chop thinly once it's been out of the freezer a minute. Easier to work with than fresh.
TO, paper towels, Kleenex always in bulk
Frozen cheese pizzas and I add my own toppings
Realized I used butter so I buy and freeze. I am amused by how big the bricks are.
Kirkland granola bars for the kids
Kirkland gummy snacks for the kids these last a long fucking time, but I only have me 1.5 kids.
30 pack of juice boxes for kids and spouse. (Pack lunches for spouse. Real juice, not punch)
The sleeve of frozen chicken patties seems to last usforevers.
I loved the baked goods, but you have to buy two at a time, and yes, it makes me feel like a fatty.
Meat whenever I feel not too lazy to divide and freeze.

It's crazy what they'll take back. My family bought a big screen TV and a couple years later the motherboard went bad in it. They sent a tech out to fix it and it broke again after a week. They just flat out replaced it with the newest model after that. Didn't have to opt for any sort of warranty when we bought it either. Back in the day ipods were at least $20 cheaper at costco than everywhere else including apple. Cracked the screen on mine and they replaced it.

Meanwhile at best buy I can't even get a store credit for a defective wireless keyboard/track pad that I bought 3 weeks ago.

What I hate about Costco is when something I like goes away.

>>7701880

We sell out of stuff all the time. Oftentimes our regional buying office will decide an item isn't profitable enough and stop selling it, just like anything else. It sucks when your product goes away, but it's really quite mathematical what consider profitable enough to sell in each building.

The Costco i work at stopped selling coffee filters like three years ago due to space issues, and every single person i tell that too when they ask where they are will immediately reply with "But you had them last time i was here!"

That sentence and "But you USED to have it" is a blight on my existence and i cant help but despise every member who utters it.
