Those gay guys are hilarious.

We're hosting a tailgate at the SDSU game for 76 people. Sounds like a good excuse to me to get one of these!

wow! seriously? Got room for a few more? I will bring some Kirkland water!

Latest thing I am digging from The Co: two pack of sliced oven-roasted turkey breast in re-sealable package. we had never noticed it before and they were sampling it on Saturday so we bought some.

This stuff is delish. Good protein, low fat for a serving size of 2 slices. As with almost all deli meats, high sodium, but you gotta die of something, I suppose.

My lunches this week have consisted of about 4 or 5 slices of this stuff, a cup of steamed rice, a cup of small tomatoes (also from The Co), a yogurt, and a piece of fruit. yum!

Andre Agassi is going to be signing books at the Costco in Summerlin this week (I think its this week). That's something.

My wife wears this stuff out. I bet she goes through a pack a week. Absolutely loves it and has had a sandwich every day for lunch for about the past 5 years.

Real vanilla beans are much cheaper at Costco than elsewhere. Also, the attached liquor store is great for stocking up on my...er...cooking ingredients.

Someone went to Costco yesterday. Not sure who. Apparently, this person purchased a tub of milk chocolate "Peppermint Bark" and left it out on the counter.

Kirkland Peppermint Bark has quickly become my closest friend. I plan on hanging out with Peppermint Bark all day today.

How much and for how many beans? I've never seen them at my Costco. I'm sick of paying $10 a bean!

I think it was something like $18 for 12 beans. Can't remember, but in that ballpark.

That sounds like a screaming deal!*


*I can't believe I'm discussing good deals on vanilla beans on the internet.

Like $15 for 10 beans (I think - memory is hazy). Come in neat glass vials and everything.

Your memory is getting hazy. You already answered this question once!

Too much MW2 last night. The prices weren't even the same. I need a coke.

I burned my tongue and the roof of my mouth on a lava hot sample the other day at Costco. I don't know if it qualifies as something new I got/found at Costco but made me think of this thread.

Don't go to Costco. Or have they resolved their dispute with Coke in the last few days?
