Spider League

I live in rural British Columbia and I just got home from a supply run to Costco. I turned on my tv to unload my car while listening to Seth interview Ayo Edebiri. As I went to go back outside to my car, I was confronted by a black widow who was laying in wait at the bottom of my doorway. I grew up on a farm so I have co-habitated with black widows my whole life, but the house I live in now is nex...

What ever happened to Costco noodle salad? It had really thick noodles and was sold where they do all of the in store packaged salads and marinated meets.

Trader Joe’s shows how to do store-brand strawberry ice cream right. Safeway does not. (Spring Strawberries: Part 4)

**Trader Joe’s Review No. 1:** I came for a buzz, that high-octane Cofee Bean Blast. But others beat me to their caffeine fix first, as I found its designated space in Trader Joe’s freezer bin empty. What I discovered instead was refreshing: A basic but delicious strawberry ice cream. I sometimes forget about Trader Joe’s. I shop there once in a while, but it’s the one place where the crea...

Costco, Walmart or Amazon?

I got hired at Costco for the food court a few weeks ago. While I enjoyed my first day, there are other, possibly better opportunities at Walmart and Amazon for overnight shifts. Costco seems like a great company, but I have some issues. The biggest for me is being limited to part time hours. While shorter shifts are nice, I need as much hours as I can get, and Costco wont provide that for me st...

Is it hard to get hired at Costco?

I know this might not be the right sub and just am not sure where to post. I've been having thoughts of getting a different job. I have 7 years of experience between 2 different grocery stores that range from cashier, GMHBC stocking, and tagging. I've been with Starbucks for the last while and am a shift supervisor. I love working with a lot of the people at my store and some of the customers. Adm...

Replacing gravity gas furnace (no AC) with central HVAC in Los Angeles — 3,000 sq ft U-shaped house, poorly insulated, baby incoming. Need feedback on quotes, system fit, and R-6 vs R-8 ducts.

Hi all, I've been considering installing a central air system for a couple years now, been barely getting by the summers with a bunch of window units, and still functional but very old gravity furnace during the winters. I've gotten a bunch of quotes a few years back, and this year have decided to finally the pull the trigger. But I think I'm at the point of information overload and just having tr...

Costco Employee Shot and Killed at Work After Allegedly Turning Away the Killer from Entering the Store with a Gun (People)

Very sad.

Costco Frame TV Art Store promo will it work on a second TV

I bought a Samsung Frame TV from Costco and it came with 2 years of the Art Store subscription. If I buy another Samsung Frame TV from a different retailer, will I still get the 2 years of Art Store if I sign into the same Samsung account on the new TV? Is the subscription tied to the account or to the specific TV?

Wondering when to apply for my next card and which would be best.

After a long strung out divorce, I took on a lot of debt I finally paid it off and was able to get my credit score back up in the 800's in 2024. I had only two credit cards before that (maxed out from the divorce). I now have no debt at all. I applied and got approved for many cards in 2025, mostly due to this subreddit. It can be addicting. I pay all my cards down each month and never carry a ba...

Something basic (I think...) with great longevity

I know I can purchase a very cheap laptop that will do everything I'm asking here just fine, but I would like something that has both longevity and good battery life, and generally just performs well. I live in a remote place, so my options to buy locally, much less get any electronic repaired, are limited (see below for more info). I am a computer novice, so apologies if I didn't answer the quest...

Most affordable and best place to buy fresh flowers in Durham?

Hi, I am looking for a place to buy flowers to create my own arrangements. Somewhere that has fresh flowers which can be purchased in bulk for a lower price than regular stores. I was recommended Costco, but I was wondering if there are any hidden gems I should check out?

Anyone else drive a lot less here?

I was talking to my Dad back in Washington - he’s complaining about gas prices - got me thinking I only drive about 5 miles a day even when I have to go into downtown. I’m lucky enough to have a plug in hybrid with 40 miles of EV range and I never run out of charge running errands. Doctor office runs, Winco down the street, Albertsons a few blocks down, foothills and parks close by too. Hon...

Best specialty produce store in Reno?

I am looking to add variety to my diet and cook better food at home, so I am looking for a good produce vendor. Even at Whole Foods although the quality is good there is little to choose from that's different from Raley’s or Safeway. For example, strawberries are in season and I can only find one type when there are many varieties available. Same with apples - always the 4 or 5 same types. T...

New to prepping - ok to store food in regular bucket (if food is in Mylar bags)?

Hi, Costco has non-food safe buckets on sale. Is it ok to store food that is in Mylar bags in a non-food safe (regular) bucket? Or is there something about the regular bucket (plastic fumes? I am guessing here.) that makes it unsafe? Thank you.

Long time IC customer, and first day as a shopper…

I’ve been an IC customer for years, and always tipped ok (in my opinion). My usual orders are 1.7 miles store, 15-20 items never anything heavy and at least $20 tip. I tried to do shopping today. Sat near costco and around other stores for 5 hours. The batches were like $5 for 10 miles and like 20 items. $17 for 21 miles 48 items (56 units). Most had no tip. One popped up 21 miles, store 3 mil...

Who is actually paying Coke or Pepsi for product when it’s literally 50% cheaper at retail pricing?

This isn’t for big franchised locations with hundreds of locations and contracts. For those people I get it. I’m talking more about independent, one or two location restaurants like mine. I just had a guy from PepsiCo stop in. He says “have you ever thought about selling Pepsi products? We have Alani and Poppi now too! Free coolers and delivery as well!” I said “sure. Here’s what ...
