There really is no excuse.

Does anyone buy their essential ingredients at costco? What do you stock up on?

Just went to a costco for the first time. I have to say I'm not super impressed. They had several good deals, several bad deals, and terrible selection.

For instance they had a single bag of frozen vegetables. One. Or they didn't have more than 2 types of dried pasta.

Is this typical?

Making monthly trip tomorrow. Gimme a list of all the stuff you guys get here (besides your typical frozen chicken breasts, frozen salmon, steaks that i always get). im probably gonna try the cheapass kirkland vodka too

>As predicted earlier this year, it was about time for Costco to do it’s once-every-five-years-or-so price increase on membership fees, and we were right. The warehouse club has confirmed a 10% cost increase for most of its members.

>Costco announced last night in its latest earnings release that the price of standard memberships (the Goldstar and Business members) will increase to $60 a year, up from the current rate of $55. The cost of an Executive membership will also go up, by around 9%, from $110 per year to $120. For those unfamiliar with Costco, the Executive tier entitles members to 2% rewards on qualified purchases, more discounts and benefits, and extra benefits on certain Costco Travel products.

I don't live near one, but for those on /ck/ that do this is a heads up you Anons.

/ck/ I'm going here tomorrow. Usually my staples are the frozen atlantic salmon, frozen chicken breasts, and getting some of the new york strip steaks

What stuff do you guys usually get? I also have a vacuum sealer

I went to Costco with my mom, and everything I wanted was more expensive than regular grocery stores. Is Costco a scam? Am I just not fat enough to shop there?
