Is it the actual Costco stuff or the previous 3rd party stuff? They've been carrying 3rd party sushi for awhile

I imagine if you ever encounter Badhobz in a Costco parking lot, you're gonna get quite a beating and a bloody nose. Nevermind fighting a brown guy at KFC. It's Badhobz vs. PeanutButter @ Costco! :lol

That’s just the 3rd party stuff that looks like gas station sushi

lol, it does look like gas station sushi.

It was bad.

PeanutButter 08-14-2024 08:53 PM

I guess it must have been the third party sushi. I was pretty surprised because costco has never let me down in any regard. The sushi was my biggest let down ever. Actually, it was the only thing that Costco has let me down in.

snowball 08-14-2024 08:58 PM

Yeah the only one that's costco made is the one in dt

Hondaracer 08-14-2024 09:30 PM

The worst products that have ever born the name Kirkland are their dishwasher pucks. Complete garbage

EvoFire 08-14-2024 09:36 PM

The Kirkland brand tissue and baby wipes weren't great either

Edit: gonna get my ass beat for talking shit about Costco

Badhobz 08-14-2024 10:10 PM

I use those baby wipes for my dogs ! They are better than the Huggies cuz they don’t leave any of those little flakes behind. Although they are often not wet enough but that’s the same as Huggies.

What’s wrong with their tissue / toilet paper !?

bcrdukes 08-14-2024 10:52 PM

The Kirkland toilet paper is way better than the ones out east. Definitely made by different suppliers.

The Kirkland Ultra Shine Dishwasher pucks? I use those with my dishwasher and they are fine. What are they not doing for you?

Badhobz 08-15-2024 05:28 AM

it probably doesnt taste as good as those Tidepods that Honda enjoys snacking on.

Speaking of Kirkland products. I find the Kirkland kitchen paper towels to be crappy compared to the Bounty brand.
Bounty was much more absorbent and didn't tear apart as easily.
I always get at least two bundles of Bounty when it comes on sale.

PeanutButter 08-15-2024 09:50 AM

^hmmm. I always get the Kirkland paper towels because i'm too cheap to buy the Bounty brand. Maybe I'll have to try Bounty next time to compare and then run a cost analysis lol

I like to wipe down my washroom countertop daily and it takes on average four to five costco paper towels to do it. It's a large vanity with double sinks.

Thinking about it, maybe I should just be using a reusable cloth..

unit 08-15-2024 09:59 AM

yeah it makes zero sense to do cost analysis on paper towels when you use them to clean your vanity countertop with them every day lol. use a swedish towel or a microfiber instead.

Kirkland PT goes on sale less often, at least from my own observation. Bounty goes on sale every other month. My usual method is just buy 2 packs whenever I see it on sale (usually $6 off). And more likely than not, they'd last me until the next sale. And if I know for a fact that I still more than a pack, I get 1 instead of 2. Same thing goes with Charmin and tissues. So I always have a pack or two of these papers at any time. And I don't remember the last time I paid full price for them.

By scanning your car upon entry they know exactly where you’re going and how much time your spending in the store

Don't they already know that when they pull up your receipt info?

- yes.. time you spend in store in true, but then there are those who just goes and spend nothing and walk out.

- not sure if they care where you're going...

they only sushi that's good is the one in downtown which was made by "jap sushi makers from japan" was what i heard.

Hondaracer 08-15-2024 10:28 AM

Of course they want to know where you’re going in the store.

They square up the receipt and payment with your scan in, they know essentially exactly which aisles you’ve been in and what’s moving and what isn’t.

In regards to the Charmin TP and Paper towel, even when it’s on sale it’s still not a better deal than the Kirkland brand. 2 minutes of basic math shows you you’re getting substantially more sheets per dollar for the Kirkland ones.

I think last time the charmin was on sale I went there thinking oh, it’s on sale time to buy, the paper towel I think you were getting like 30% more at the regular Kirkland price VS the on sale Charmin

mikemhg 08-15-2024 10:44 AM

Of all the things to go cheap on it wouldn't be sushi from Costco :lol

You're eating raw fish, if I'm taking that risk I'd much rather pay a bit of a premium and get it from somewhere fresh and done right.

GLOW 08-15-2024 12:28 PM

i thought in canada there are regulations for sushi fish that it needs to be frozen to a certain criteria to ensure bacteria etc is killed off

if that's the case, then isn't it a matter of like any other food if it's fresh and hasn't gone bad yet or not?

From my experience, even on sale, the big brands are never cheaper than Kirkland, which is why I always just go with Kirkland.

Badhobz 08-15-2024 01:18 PM

We have bidets (all from Costco) so my toilet paper costs have gone down significantly.

winson604 08-15-2024 01:53 PM

Team Charmin for TP, Team Bounty for PT, and Team Kleenex for Tissue Paper. These 3 are pretty non negotiables in my household lol. The only one I won't be mad about having to use a different brand is Kirkland PT because I know in my household we're absolutely just terrible at using PT and it's often to just do some easy wiping. I do have some swedish towels and from time to time I have tried using it more but then I get lazy which is on me.

Stop lying bro. I know you're not Team Kleenex, lol.

It's impossible to be Team Kleenex right now unless you're smuggling that shit in from the states.

Kleenex doesn't sell in Canada anymore. That brand is dead!

You can't get kleenex anymore they pulled out.

I bought a box from Seattle last time I was there, but it's ridiculous if I have to gray market them up every year.
