The COSTCO Thread

[Donuthole]

Yeah. Donut doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. I probably take 2-3 trips to Costco a week (it's closer to us than the grocery store) and there's no self checkout

You're right. I'm confusing that Costco with the newer one in North Town.

That's an easy mistake, bro. Don't get too down on yourself.

Vegas has a business Costco that sells different stuff. They have refurbished 50 inch Samsung LEDs with wi fi for $500.

I can confirm that Costco no longer has the hand dipped chocolate bar with almonds. Mine no longer sells it and that it is being phased out of all Costco stores. They said that it was because they had to throw away the almonds every day that they used because of the chocolate that would cause them to all clump up. They also said they were a mess and the serving area was difficult to keep clean. But they also said they sold a ton of them.

Todd Christensen and the Hand Dipped Ice Cream Bar in the same day. Rough.

I figured that it had more to do with the fact that they put about $3 of almonds on every $1.50 ice cream bar. I always had to ask for half almonds and was thinking I needed to drop it down to 2/5. Too bad it's a company wide thing. So for deserts, we're down to churros, gelato in a waffle cone (although I found out over the weekend that they've replaced strawberry with chocolate :Wuap, and the soft serve berry crap in a cup. Anyone ever had that? I'm open to trying it, it just seems like a bit of a disaster.

The soft serve berry crap in a cup is what I sometimes get. It's kinda normal. Like, it's softserve ice cream with berry sauce in a cup. It's good if you're into that sort of thing.

[Pelado]

Do they still have the berry smoothie?

Apparently this was Costco this morning 10 minutes before it opened. Black Wednesday!

My wife is getting crazy with the Costco returns lately.

She bought a bundle of toilet paper, it was really thick and my kids were using way to much and clogging the toilets. She returned it after we had used probably 8-10 rolls.

In October I bought a new laptop, she just saw an old black friday ad and took the box in to costco (we didn't have the reciept) to get the sales price. They would not honor the sales price without a reciept. She came home took my laptop and returned the whole damn thing and then repurchased it for $200 less.

The price match the lowest advertised price in the last 30 days.

I was to embarrassed for either of these transactions and would not go with her. If Tick were married to her he would probably divorce her.

A while back I bought some kind of dip from Costco and didn't like it. Instead of returning it I just emptied the dip into the garbage disposal and put the container in our recycling bin.

My wife would take it back. She returned some hummus she bought that she didn't like.

I keep telling my wife to cut back on buying the sample stuff she and the kids eat on Saturday 'co runs. In the past few months she purchased mango salsa, spinach and cheese pot stickers, and these chicken skewers, all of which wound up in our garbage. Apparently, samples arent as tasty when you are not walking around starving.

That's how they get you!

They changed their supplier for the mango salsa. The new stuff is nasty.
