Costco Near Me

Tired of fake deals? Here's my honest process for finding *actual* savings online after months of testing (saved $250+ on household essentials this quarter) 💸

I don't know about you, but I'm absolutely fed up with seeing "70% off!" sales that are barely 20% off the *real* pre-inflated price. Or those "limited-time offers" that seem to be "limited" to every single day for a month. It's exhausting trying to sift through the noise to find something genuinely good, and frankly, a waste of time. That's why a few of us started *...

Popcorn Kernels

Does anyone know if Costco has any plans to bring back popcorn kernels? I just find that the quality of grocery store kernels is not as good and does not yield the same volume when popped

Kirkland minoxidil causing shedding

I started minoxidil in June 2025 (8 months ago). I started with Keeps minoxidil topical solution. I used it for 6 months. Saw some shedding in month 2 and 3. After that I barely saw any hairfall when applying twice daily. After 6 months of Keeps I switched to Kirkland minoxidil topical solution from Costco (bought it in store so I’m certain it’s not fake). It’s been 2 months now and I’m se...

Snapped at old lady - did I overreact?

I was walking into Costco from the parking lot but needed to get my membership card out of my purse so I paused about 30 feet from the entrance. My 2 year old was in the shopping cart basket and 5 month old in the baby carrier. It was 50 degrees out, so a little chilly but not freezing and my baby was in a long sleeved outfit and pants. He wasn’t wearing socks but again, it was a 1 minute walk i...

Looking for all day meal recommendations!

Alright meal preppers, I'm sure these types of requests come in all the time. However, I'm at a bit of a standstill right now. Between my college schedule, work schedule, and extracurriculars, moat days I'm gone from 8:30am-10pm. On Mon, Wed, Fri, I have class at 9am and 10am, and I'm done at 11, but I have to get to work for 11:30. Then I work until 3:30, and have class 4-5, and go back to work ...

First Gaming PC - I Get it Now.

Picked this up at Micro Center. I got super lucky and saw that they had an open box (online) at my local store for $1620. I had already convinced myself that it was a good deal at current price ($1,799) and still do. I’m not crazy about the case but it’s well put together. What convinced me was this video that I saw on YouTube: https://youtu.be/q7JxVcEUG8Q?si=48\_2EGP\_2Wj9y3oS (around 13 mi...

Random Costco Find

I walked into the liquor store at my local Costco in southwestern CT. I’ve previously seen the Kirkland branded Tequila (NOM1173), affordable. But I can’t speak about quality/aroma/taste yet. As I was exiting, at the corner of my eye I saw this G4 Día de Los Muertos special bottle. I am yet to taste a regular G4 bottle. I’m just sharing in case anybody else can give some input on the price...

Costco Synergy gift card update

Just got back from Costco. The line for returns is going out the door and around the front of the store. Never seen it that long, probably 3x as many people as are typical in the week after Christmas. Everyone is trying to return those Synergy cards for refund right now. I asked a couple of employees and they both said they'll be refunding Synergy cards going forward without an end date. In other...

Any thin sliced beef for hot pot at stores?

Im looking to make my own hot pot and wanted to know if there is any thin sliced beef at costco or any other grocery stores in town before i drive around looking.

How come waiting in long queues is so prevalent?

So I grew up in Miami and moved to California in 2024 due to college. A remarkable difference is that waiting in long queues is just so much more prevalent in California (I mainly spend my time in SoCal but I also spend a lot of time in sf). When I initially saw them I assumed there must be some promotion or special going on but what I’ve now learned is that it’s often just business as usual. ...

Best Ice Cream for Formed Scoops?

help! I’ve been a Haagen Dazs girl for years, obviously, the trouble is we’re having an ice cream social birthday party for my son (tomorrow!) and I’d really rather not pay HD prices for 15 5 year olds and their parents. All of the blog posts about doing ice cream parties recommends prescooping and freezing the scoops for ease of dispensing at the party. We’re just doing vanilla and ch...

The state of air pumps for automobile tires (US)

This has now happened to me twice in recent months. I've gone to gas stations to get air. Pay the $3 (\*another pet peeve > this used to be free or $1) and the air pump doesn't work. Worse, when trying it, you lose air and make your tire situation worse, before discovering it's broken. You go in and the cash register tells you they don't own it. You have to call a number on the air pump f...

Need Recommendation for a Credit Card for My Wife and I (1 Each)

Hey yall, My wife and I would love recommendations on a credit card for each of us.

Our rent is $2,300 / month FYI. My wife has a Discover It card that she has been using for t...

In your opinion, who has the bigger “club” stores: Sam’s Club or Costco?

Is my starter ok?

I’m a beginner trying to figure out if my starter is messed up or perfectly fine and healthy. I started it august of last year. At first I fed 1:1:1 but I don’t think I was feeding it correctly before. I fed once a day but wasn’t super consistent about what time or how often I did. I changed to 1:10:10 several months ago because I learned that feeding at higher ratios is supposed to strength...

Adidas or Horizon?

Was about to pull the trigger on a Horizon T101 when we saw this Adidas one on sale at Costco Canada. For my usage they seem on par with each other. The Horizon would be from a local fitness store with their own repairs team, so in terms of after-sale assistance both machines are worry-free. With the horizon at $100 CAD more, which is the better choice? Usage: 125lbs 5’4 female walking 3.5-4....
