Also, Sun Rype Blue Label Apple Juice is on sale. Works out to $1 each. No big deal in itself as that’s the going sale price everywhere, but the ones they carry at Costco are the Organic ones. Haven’t seen those at your run of the mill food stores.

I went to Metrotown this morning to buy a pack of toilet paper and it was semi chaotic. Granted I only buy Charmin so I'm already limiting myself.
1st stop Superstore, No charmin but the entire toilet paper aisle was fairly wiped out. About 5% of stock left at around 830am
2nd stop Walmart, No Charmin but they were fairly stocked with Royale and other brands
3rd stop T&T, well they don't have a huge stock to begin with but they were about 50% stocked and I grabbed the last Charmin blue, had a few of the ultra strongs left.
To your other question, yes limit of 1 on all paper products including kleenex as well when I went 1.5 weeks ago. Even online it limits you to 1 when you add more than 1 to the cart.

Hoarding? no way. people are buying to re-sell (at cost) to those who are needy and desperate.

Question for the Costco Pro's / Elite Couponers
I'm a costco noob and buy things when I need them. Later I notice the items have gone on sale and I usually have shredded the receipt.
How can I request a price adjustment?
What is the price adjustment period?

30 days with receipt. That's the new rule. I was talking to one of the people at the return desk. She told me most people keep their receipts in an envelope and leave it in their car. That way, when something they bought last week goes on sale, they look through their receipts. I always keep receipts up in the visor. Just today, I got $5.00 back for a pack of 9 volt batteries that are on sale this week. I purchased them three weeks ago. I needed 9 volts for a bunch of water leak detectors I purchased. They all use 9 volts. Anyway, I knew batteries go on sale always in November. Never in December when you need them the most (Xmas toys and shit). BTW, hoarding batteries are never a good idea. Even though it says guaranteed for 10 years, they don't. Well, they do, but when you use them, they don't last very long. It's like people who buy milk without checking the date. One person told me, "I'll use it by that date." Yeah, but why not buy one that's way fresher. Not one that's two days from expiry.
Forgot to add, a supervisor can override that rule. I actually had that happen with an air purifier I no longer needed. It wasn't opened. Maybe that's why? I'd try. Never hurts to try.

It's more of an inside joke where someone insinuated or perhaps even accused MG1 of being a hoarder and we just ran with the joke. The original comment was a bit over the top, and quite frankly, unnecessary.
For the record @MG1 I don't have any issue or care what people buy. I just don't like or appreciate it when people run at things like a mad dash or if their life depended on it and buy more than what's really necessary for themselves (i.e. masks at the peak of COVID.)

What the hell are people still hoarding Lysol wipes for? Are you people STILL wiping down your groceries? Fomite transmission is rare and you should be washing your hands/sanitizing anyways - which is the vector viruses come into you anyways.
I bought 4 tubs of Lysol wipes at the beginning of the pandemic and still have 3 full ones sitting around. I basically only use it when I go pump gas or when I decide to eat in the car. | QED

No, it was the B!tch. I wasn’t offended by either of the two posts. Listen I survived 16 years of living in the heart of the DTES. Anyway, god bless...........
You know, we should start a thread on Revscene’s inside jokes. Then again, RS wouldn’t be such a mysterious place. BTW, who’s the chick we all want to spot? And, Happy Bubble, Barnston Island, etc.

Doesn't Costco log everything by your card number? I was able to warranty a car battery my mom bought by giving them her number to look up the purchase.

I probably should have read their updated policies when I renewed my membership card a month ago, after letting it lapse for over a year.

I guess they're just overwhelmed by people returning stuff at the drop of a hat. People really take advantage of the return policy. I guess that's why it's at the discretion of the supervisory staff. They're forced to place limits. Time of 30 days is enough. Plus, having to present a receipt is what most places put in place as a rule. Someone could have purchased the same item from a place like Wal Mart and return it at Costco, although most items have a Costco specific bar code.

They’ve been making a bit bigger of a deal for returns with no receipt recently.
I bought a ceiling fan online in June and returned it unopened in October just because it wasn’t going to work. It still had the stupid Costco shipping slip taped on the box. The guy gave me a bit of attitude in that I needed the order number at least etc. I said my wife and I are both on the joint account and I could provide name, email, date, etc. But I didn’t have the order number and the stupid packing slip didn’t have it either..
He kinda just stood there doing nothing while I attempted to call the wife to get the number because she ordered it through the app, when that wasn’t going anywhere eventually he dug around and found it. But yea I think they are giving a little more pushback lately, if you can call that push back

This is interesting to hear. Yes they can use your membership card to look up your purchases but online is different. It always used to be you could return without receipt but you would get the last price in the system. So if your item went on clearance (ending in .97) that is the amount you would get back.
Sounds like a lot of people are using Costco online and local warehouses are dealing with piles of returns. My local Costco has signs up no returns on Lysol wipes, toilet paper, rice etc.
And yes one toilet paper per family at Langford. Been like that for a while now.

Found a jar of Safie Sweet Beets in the back of the pantry. So good. Perfect with Curry. Not cheap, but it's something I treat myself to once in a while. Good shelf life, too. Frugal me likes to dump canned beets in the left over liquid (brine, juice, whatever) to get money's worth. Although nowhere near the freshness. Nothing like freshly opened jar of pickled beets. A regular item at Costco. I discovered it at the Bellingham Costco a few years back. Samples do work. I fell in love with it at first bite. My mother made home made pickled beets and this product is so close to the ones she used to make. It's slightly better............ sorry, mom. https://safiefoods.com/product/home-...pickled-beets/

It's convenient and alright. They go on sale every now and then. That's the only time I buy the stuff. Comes in a 2 pack. Name has three letters in it like KFC, lol.
