Buy dishwasher powder instead of pods

I used to buy pods from Costco thinking they were a good deal. Yes compared to other stores sure but recently I discovered dishwasher powder instead. It’s so much cheaper I bought an 1.8kg box for only $6.50. It’s essentially the same as the pods just without the outer plastic. I’ve been using it for 2 weeks and it cleans just as well as the pods. My mom told me Costco used to sell the liq...

Topps at Costco

I never see any cards at my local Costco but they had a few boxes of the basketball cards I have seen on this sub. On a whim I gave it a go. After the inevitable disappointment from ripping the packs, I had saved the jumbo card for last. As a Pacers fan to tell you I was disappointed is an understatement. It was more than that. Now I have this jumbo, pain in the ass to store with the other scommon...

Dead covered malls in Maine

I have been trying to understand why Maine can't keep covered malls alive. You'd think that in a state this cold and snowy, customers would flock to shop indoors, where they could visit a variety of stores in comfortable clothing, have a meal, etc. Yet only the Portland-area (metro population +500K) supports a still-struggling Maine Mall. Malls in Bangor and Presque Isle (far north - never really...

The Cult of Costco

#Its consistency is its superpower. By Jake Lundberg, The Atlantic. Because every day is Black Friday at Costco, I choose to go on Saturday. I like to get there early. I always park in the same spot (right next to the cart return), and wait with the other die-hards. It has the thrill of a stakeout, absent any crime or danger. When the doors open, we move toward the entrance in an orderly march. ...

Holy ham, the price of bleach has gone up again.

I have never in my life had to say no to buying bleach before. $7, nearly $7 for **STORE BRAND BLEACH**! The last time I bought bleach a little while ago, the Clorox brand was about $5, now it's a no go at its current new price point. **F!CK THAT**! It's a less offensive purchase at places like Costco if you buy the 3pk averaging at a $6 savings locally, but Jesus Christ, $7 for the standard sto...

Winter washer fluid

The washer nozzles in my 2024 Santa Fe are terrible. They are pointed at the base of the windshield and no matter how long you run them the wipers can never fully clean the windshield - this is brutal in the winter when you get the white salty road spray creating a haze on the windshield. The nozzles are not aimable. I was told that some washer fluids can clog lines and nozzles. So in effort to...

Stock of phones online accurate in store?

Bought the orange iPhone for my daughter for Christmas but she hated the color. Checked online and it said 2 silver phones in stock. Drove to store and they said they didn’t have them and wouldn’t know when and also couldn’t do a exchange but recommended I turn in the phone and call customer service to cancel the line and come back the next day to get everything sorted. It was after customer...

Activation fees on canceled line

After a frustrating call to CX a newly placed line and phone I was told the activation fee would not be refunded. Is that true and does customer service have the ability to waive said fee? Story: Got a phone for a Christmas surprise but she didn’t like the color. Went into a Att store that said they have two in stock. They said they didn’t and advised me to turn in the phone and call customer...

AITAH for honking my horn in a Costco parking lot as a safety tool?

So yesterday a buddy of mine and I (both early 20s) ran to Costco just to grab a few things, and while I was looking for a spot for my car, this guy (50s) in a big SUV started reversing down the parking aisle at a high rate of speed, and because his vehicle was lifted it seemed like he couldn’t see me. So I honked briefly as a like “Hey there’s someone behind you” rather than an act of agg...

How far is too far to consider buying at Costco?

I've been researching OTC aids for over two years now. They are not for me, but my 68 year old boyfriend. He does not have insurance and will not seek out financial assistance. Out of pocket is the only option, please do not suggest Medicare or assistance programs. All that being said, if there was a Costco where we live, he would have gotten something OTC quite some time ago. Not having one near...

Costco on the North Shore - who’s with me?

I’d love a Costco on the North Shore. It is one of the few reasons I have to leave the North Shore these days. I could see one down by the Real Canadian Superstore, or maybe on Welch, or? I can imagine plenty of counterpoints: lack of space, traffic congestion, access to workforce, cannibalization of the Burnaby and Downtown stores, etc. Discuss amongst yourselves. Go!

Shop and Deliver Messup leads to Uber Support Nightmare

I was at a store doing a shop and deliver, and the checkout line was packed, so I went to the self checkout line, and my plus card failed. The store clerk reran the order in her line, and the plus card declined again. So I pulled out my credit card, took a photo, and the app would not process, no matter what I tried. I think it got screwed up, because when I go to costco, they never let me use...

Update 2.

New thermometer calibration minus 1°. Negligible. Must have been bad meat. Had very successful run with Chuck "country ribs" from another store. Never buying Costco beef again. Put previous post pic of top sirloin from Costco. No bueno.

Card for Travel once we are out of baby stage!

Hi! We are slowly stepping out of our baby/toddler years and wanting travel more soon. I suppose I was thinking about small scale travel now but within a few years doing bigger trips. So, looking for an option that allows us to use a little points now but save up for bigger things later? Is this possible? As mentioned, all we have is a Costco card so opening a travel card would be entirely new. I�...
