fairlife protein milk

I also want to recommend this product. I had to taste everything else, and this stood alone for tasting most like milk - (because that's they primary ingredient, instead of whey). It is basically shelf-stable nutritionally-fortified chocolate milk.

I am not particularly concerned that their marketing is based on "happy cows" and they're being sued for blending milk from both happy and sad sources.

You're telling me the food court can put all of the combo ingredients in a calzone but they can't put them back on the damn pizzas? Fuck offfff

I went to Costco yesterday and bought the cookie cake that I saw on Youtube. It's ok, but the tres leches is still better. Anything in the noodle aisle of Costco is amazing

I was actually drinking Fairlife chocolate milk a few years ago but I went off of it when I learned that the The Coca-Cola Company bought the company in 2020. There's also the issue of them using carrageenan as an emulsifier in their chocolate milk and shakes.

There are too many jeets at Costco.

I could only convince my mom to buy these for us once a year. It would usually be late May or early June right before school ended. For me, these meant the beginning of summer.

That's one of the main reasons I go to costco. the more orientals at a grocery store, the less chance anyone brings in their doggo!! which will shit in the produce section or lick the meat...ugh.

Orientals are the ones that put pee pee in your coke

Indians are the ones that openly defecate in public

The Costco near my mom is such a fucking nightmare all day every day. I stopped by to fill up the tank after spending all day working on my car and doing yard work for my mom and the amount of olds and women who are incapable of just getting their fucking gas and going is unbelievable. It doesn’t help this Costco is pushing twenty so they only have a half-dozen pumps. And forget about actually making it into the store because the parking lot is a goddamn warzone. It was built in the middle of the boonies right at the housing bubble so it’s just way too fucking small for how the rest of the area developed. I’ve had to go to the one near work instead, but that one is going to have the exact same issues some two decades hence.

i really like the costco marshmallow crispy cookies

Casual reminder to everyone else in the thread, Indians have been trying to call themselves "South Asians" for 10 years now, once they figured out that in America, "Asian" means smart and Chinese/Japanese. While India is "technically" part of "Asia", literally nobody in any white country will think "Indian" if you say "Asian".

got the costco sushi Spicy Crunch Combo
nice enough for a bunch of sushi rolls cheap, sorta like those frozen aldi sushi packs but less depressing

Meat is getting so expensive I’m considering getting a $65 Costco membership, doing the 45 minute drive and stocking up on chicken and beef and other items there once a month.

 

[Elwood P. Dowd]

I think at this point I'm the only American left who has never set foot in a Costco.

There's just none near where I live, and when I leave work I just want to go home.

tbh their meat isn't really THAT amazingly great of a deal a lot of the time outside of the rotisserie chicken
they're more of a reliable decent deal, like what you'd get on a sale at aldi (not a sticker slightly-used meat discount) and very reliable quality meat
like if you have a winn-dixie to catch their loss-leader weekend deals you're not missing much if we're talking strictly meats

I forgot to check for these on my last visit but now that you've reminded me I might make a trip. They're so damn good.

Every time I visit a large city I usually end up at Costco for gas and I'm struck by what a nightmare it is. Parking lot a disaster, jeets everywhere. My little rural Costco might not have the same level of selection but least it's a peaceful experience.

The only meat I've been able to find lately at Costco that's a good deal is .99/lb chicken legs. But the cheaper meat at the lower price point grocery stores around here tends to be shit quality so I usually end up giving in and paying a little more at Costco after a couple of subpar meals.

yeah that's more the appeal is you can get a bunch of good meat a nice price any random time, like it's worth it to learn to read your meat sections at your aldis, winndixies, and third world groceries like Bravo or Fancy

if you have a Costco Business Center that plays out a little different, like I've got one of them a bit of a drive, like twenty~thirty minutes
they have some funkier stuff like "a whole frozen goat" and are focused more specifically to businesses (but you can get in as a civilian account) so there's actually some real savings if you get some weight, but you need to have a use for a ten pound block of cheese, and you get to walk around inside a giant fridge for a lot of the meats so don't be surprised if you go with shorts and a tshirt and have to cut out and return
also they have The Polish Sausages, long lost from the food court
