The Costco Thread

You better start sucking up to the principal of his school right god damn now.

We actually just had a chat a couple weeks ago. lol The same kid decided he was going to see how the boxes covering the fire alarms worked. Strictly for research purposes of course.
 
i switched from costco to sams club because it was closer to my work and the sams I goto is the one on 73rd street and i can't stand it.

BUT sams lets you scan/pay on your phone so I don't have to talk to anyone and I can be in/out as quick as possible.

i miss costco, I think

So Costco doesn't blow Sam's out of the water? We've had Sam's for years because it much, much closer than Costco. I wasn't sure it'd be worth it if we went there once per quarter.
 
We had Sams when they first rolled out that scan/pay app and it was awesome, but I can't say I miss Sams.

What is nicer about Costco vs Sam's? We've had Sam's for years because it much, much closer than Costco. I wasn't sure it'd be worth it if we went there once per quarter.

To me it's just the overall quality of what I buy. Sam's honestly just feels too "Wal-Mart" for me and I was honestly never impressed with anything that they had. In MN Costco was about a 20 minute drive so we'd go once a month - now in Waukee I'm 10 minutes from Jordan Creek and get there right when they open on Sundays - can usually be in and out within 20 minutes.
 
I thought my oldest was awful for putting ketchup on everything but the younger upped the horrors of dinnertime with that ****. There is nothing he does not try ranch on. Nothing is sacred.
Even on a bowl of Cap'n Crunch?
 
That is the one thing that I don't like...

A product that just disappears. Ours had some pizza in a yellow box. Samples were great and every cart had it

Never seen it again.

Motor City Detroit Style is very good.

That’s their model. It’s a 12 week rotation then they go buy again. They might buy a product over and over or they might not. Seasonality also plays a part.
 
So they changed the muffins instead of six giant muffins you get eight that are traditional size. I don’t remember how much they were before but yesterday they were $6.99 and you didn’t get bogo.

Wife has been on a big Sam's kick lately. I'm still a Costco guy but I'll be honest, I'm more sold on Sam's than I thought I'd be.
