Costco Near Me

The AI Robotics Stock Walmart Is Quietly Using to Beat Amazon. Already Up 5x.

A reader recently asked me in the comments, *"How do you play snowball? When the thesis is playing out, do you wait for dips or buy on strength even at slightly skewed valuations?"* That question made me realize most investors misunderstand what snowballing actually means. So I wanted to break it down properly, using a real case study to ground every framework in something concrete. Thi...

If You're Buying Rice for Your Stockpile and Not Going to an Asian Market You're Overpaying

If You're Buying Rice for Your Stockpile and Not Going to an Asian Market You're Overpaying. Seriously this is one of those tips that sounds small but makes a real difference when you're prepping on a tight budget. Asian grocery stores carry rice in 25 and 50 pound bags as a standard everyday item. Not a special order, not a warehouse club membership — just sitting on the shelf at prices that ...

Help with final decsion

I am looking to replace my skirted toilet with a new Toto model. I’ve purchased an Alpha UX Pearl bidet seat (screaming deal this weekend on BidetKkng $390 ) My toilet options are: Drake II - $330 from Costco Entrada - $299 from a local store Copilot tells me the Entrada has a better fit/back deck for the bidet seat and says that’s one one to go with, especially with that price savings...

Family Shopping Excursions

Costco is busier than ever these days. Why don’t families (with two parents) send only one parent with a list rather than dragging everyone unnecessarily and clogging up the stores? (Doesn’t apply to single parents obviously)

Fat and expensive day today

I had two sandwiches and a soda that came out to $27. Then I went to Costco and got strawberry sundae. I got gas which was $5 a gallon but I got the ethanol option which is a little cheaper but probably very bad for my engine. Then I went and got burrata cheese from the grocery store. Also my parents are financially insecure and I have no job.

Stores in SWFL?

I was wondering how someone might get a pulse on retail deliveries to local stores. I’d imagine the people making the delivery tell family and take a cut, or people just stake out the store to find out. When you’re talking thousands of dollars of profit, people will do anything. I thought I might have some luck at the Walmarts, target, costco, cvs, Walgreens, etc this time of year before th...

80% Costco Taco - Federal Way, WA

My local Costco was lucky enough to finally get the chipotle chicken packets! Or, they had it before and I wasn’t troll-y enough. This is how I usually have tacos, but instead of beef, I used the chicken. Costco-bought is half a pita, chicken, white queso, and mango-peach salsa. Only thing from the grocery store is the black refried beans. Yes, this is messy so I eat it with a knife and fo...

I didn’t realize I completed 195 orders with Zip!

I’ll share the places I’ve been able to use my virtual card. Groceries are Costco, Sam’s Club, Walmart, Kroger, and Publix. Entertainment places like Ticketmaster and Medieval Times. The food places were Jersey Mike’s, Chick-fil-A, Buc-ee’s, Shane’s Rib Shack, Wingstop, Dave & Buster’s, Taco Bell, Wendy’s, Crumbl, and Krispie Kreme. Online for video game currency Riot, Epic...

What blackstone should I buy?

I’ve determined I want to buy one with the hood, and think the 36 inch is the way to go. Curious to hear what everyone thinks about the differences between models you might get at Lowe’s Vs Costco/Walmart? Let me know if the one without the hood is better and if 36 inches is overkill! EDIT: Def getting the 36 inch with hood. Now trying to decide which store to get it from since prices vary a...

The Cloud 9 Mango Sticky Rice Treats: A little pricey but well worth it.

My wife and I were curious about these but also hesitant to pay $18 for a bag of rice crispy treats. Usually with sweets we'll eat one or two each and then put the rest out when the nieces and nephews visit. As unsure as we were at first, any potential for regret left our minds the exact second we bit into our first one. Today we braved Costco on a Saturday afternoon to secure three more bags jus...

Why can’t I bring my visibly sick kid into Costco?

On the crued gold bars subject

Every place that had fake gold bars now has the crued ones and even some places that I don't believe had any before. My experiences thus far: 1) Harpy nest. First time resulted in 104 crued bars. After you think you got everything, hit with a blast of nature snare to uncover more. Just being close with wind swirling is enough to destroy useless props and pop other lootables out from snow or bene...

How to deal with sales people?

I’m sure a lot of people here find interactions with people trying to sell you something to be particularly burdensome. I feel a little disgusted with and violated by them, but I know that probably wasn’t their first choice of job and I don’t want to be disrespectful, for instance with studious avoidance of eye contact when I can clearly see they’re trying to get my attention and we both k...

Illinois Liquor Law / Three Tier Question -- Who Even Benefits Anymore?

(I posted this in the Chicago Service INdustry group and got really good feedback and arguments -- would love to get Reddit's opinion as well, as I really like to poke the hornets nest sometimes...) "I was talking to another bar owner this week, and it got me thinking: **In 2026, what is the actual purpose of the Three-Tier system, and who does it benefit?** Over the last five years, ...

Multi colored roses

This is my first time planting roses and bought a few from Costco/ big box stores and I’m discovering they don’t look as advertised. Two different roses on the same stem! It’s crazy to me ! And the bulbs are so close together every branch has 3 for roses off the same spot is this normal from bare root? I have some other roses that created long stems like what you would cut off for a bo...

Easy healthy snacks I prep on Sunday that last the whole work week

I kept seeing posts about elaborate meal preps with 15 containers and color coded protein sources and honestly that's never going to be me. But I needed to stop spending $50+ a week on random snacks from the convenience store near my office. So I started doing the bare minimum snack prep on Sundays and it's been working. My entire routine takes about 20 minutes: Wash and chop a bag of carrots an...

Where to Purchase Flowers for Home Arrangements in Canada

Hi there! I've been wanting to get into floral arranging for a while (as a hobby). I was wondering if any other Canadians can give me some tips on where to find florals by the stem, or relatively affordable bouquets. Up until now, I've just been purchasing bouquets or flowers from my local Sobeys and rearranging them. Costco is also another option, but for a simple home arrangement, I don't usua...

Annual plan only option?

Is anyone else experiencing this? I pay monthly, payment was declined last night so I go to fix it this morning and this is my only option. Have tried reinstalling the app and contacting customer support.
