I haven’t been to Costco in over 6 months. Aside from the staples I need, what’s new at Costco? Any suggestions? I love a good impulse buy.

Well, it’s Halloween, so Christmas decorations.

Not sure if they're there yet, but I think it's almost tiramisu bar cake season. All the kinds of bar cake are good, but tiramisu is the best.

It's not new or seasonal, but I always like the Kirkland dry salami and haven't seen it mentioned yet.

It was at mine mid-month.

Bachan's japanese BBQ sauce

[–] Marins_Ballad@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Oh yes! I love making Sarku Japan at home.

[–] UpAndAtThem@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Stuff is good, my favorite is the Yuzu version, but they only seem to have original at Costco. It's a great out of the bottle marinade, and useful for lots of good tastiness.

I do love some cashews.

I love cheese, but my insides don’t! I’ll let you have all the cheese

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Bruh that's the toilets problem.

I took 4 Lactaid before a very small bowl of iced cream and I'm dying as we speak.

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

These bactose pills have been very helpful for me. https://a.co/d/0jjb5kjQ

Welp, there goes my suggestion of a giant bag of Pirate’s Booty

[–] CandyMountainCharlie@feddit.online 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Idk about impulse but I just picked up furnace filters last weekend

[–] Marins_Ballad@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Don’t need those, but it’s definitely something to keep stocked.

I think I'm going to go tomorrow. All I need is ground beef because it's way cheaper there but I'm sure I'll find a way to spend $200 lol

[–] theedqueen@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Carbone vodka sauce is soooo freaking cheap at Costco compared to what you’d pay at a regular grocery store.

And it's pretty tasty, too.

Think they have the chicken pot pies back this time of year.

Heard great things about them.

I usually make from scratch, but I’m never opposed to buying one!

The finest dining! I do fuck up a hot dog when I go. Always before so I don’t hangry shop.

[–] Janx@piefed.social 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

But the free samples are half the reason I go to Costco!

[–] Marins_Ballad@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

My Costco hot take. The samples are always swarmed, and it’s not worth fighting people to get one. I stay away from them.

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

This is why I end up only doing any half of them. I'm not going to wait more than a minute or so. If they're just bringing out a new tray I'll swoop by.

[–] finalarbiter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Got a damn good shepherd's pie the other day

I just made some!

[–] Pavidus@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Don't forget the paper products! Toilet paper and paper towels. Great quality and hella cheap.

Always on the list. Thats a staple.

[–] Zier@fedia.io 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Leftovers for dayz! Yaasss

[–] rbos@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

My current shopping list: Sundried tomatoes, whole spelt flour, kalamata olives (pitted, in brine), cottage cheese, 0% yogurt, and dried mango.

[–] Marins_Ballad@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yogurt and frozen fruits are always on my list.

[–] rbos@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, great for smoothies. But I usually bike over and my limit is around 10kg.

[–] Marins_Ballad@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

How do you not die in the parking lot? I feel like I’ll die in a car.

I love biking when I can, but I live in a car heavy place. Much respect to you!

[–] rbos@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 days ago

It's got challenges, but the parking lot isn't one of them. They have a sidewalk that goes down the middle to the entrance from the street, pretty much.

Tons of people using ebikes. I think they're largely food delivery services like doordash.

I wish. Dairy doesn’t like me as much as I like it.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

I am deeply sorry to hear that. Though it pains me to do so, I suppose I will just have to have your share!

Their chicken salad is pretty good though! Its just so much lol

They're out of the damn walnuts!!!

But the goat is still cheaper than beef, so is the duck.

Last time we got cheap mussels.

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Locally we have a Wild Fork. Everything I've price compared has either been the same price or cheaper there. I've been getting most of my meat from there now. That used to be my biggest reason to go to Costco.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

We don't get goat at ours. 😔 The lamb was also $2 more a couple of trips ago, because the mystery meat was there, and got the lamb price. 😒 I didn't look at lamb last time, but bought a ham, instead. $10 for about three lbs.

Around Pesach and Easter it seems the Australian imported boneless leg of lambs go on sale for like $5 a pound and I'm waiting to stock up on those again.

[–] Marins_Ballad@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I’ve been making all my normal beef recipes with ground turkey to save money. (Chili and Shepards pie). It’s dark times. I’m hoping to get some beef from Costco.

I’m not a big fan of muscles, but I love their tilapia. They also had this pre marinated black cod. So expensive, but omg it was good.

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

How are they? Minced turkey is on offer at my local supermarket and I nearly got some yesterday. It's 6 euro per KG which is very cheap (about $3 USD per pound).

It’s good. But I miss the beef flavor a lot.

[–] Beacon@fedia.io 2 points 4 days ago

Shiitake mushroom snacks. Very yum
