COSTCO Locations

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

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 seeing some serious shedding. Just curious if it’s expected when changing between minoxidil brands. Or should I switch back to Keeps?

I work 12-hour night shifts at a warehouse. I’m not saying that for sympathy; I’m saying it because exhaustion makes you accept things you shouldn’t. It’s why I didn’t question the house’s price on Facebook Marketplace — and why, when I first noticed my reflection was half a second behind my movements, I blamed the flickering lights instead of my instincts. I was too tired to be afraid. The seller mentioned something weird while we were signing. “Just one thing,” she said. “In this house, it’s better not to put up big mirrors.” She laughed afterward, like it was a silly superstition. I laughed too. I was tired. I wanted to leave. I didn’t give it any importanc...

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 into the store form the car and not exceptionally cold. Honestly he’s my 4th child too so I’m pretty minimalist with him and know what he needs vs. being over the top. My first baby HAD to wear fancy expensive outfits, sunglasses on, hats, socks AND shoes, baby lotion every day…baby #4 I’m d...

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 from 5:30-10. On Tuesday/Thursday I have class from 9am-6pm with no breaks, and sometimes have extracurriculars after. I don't have much down time to eat, and need something I can eat while going to class or even in class. I need breakfast, lunch, and dinner packed in my l...

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 minute mark). It talks about the components inside, which are better or same to what I would have put in my own build. Components include a Samsung hard drive and an ASUS Motherboard. The GPU was a Sapphire. The case is not that big. The build looks clean. The pc looked unused and/or brand new. The ...

I’m extremely frustrated with Lenovo’s refund process and overall customer service. Sorry for the long rant, I tried to keep my Lenovo nightmare story as short as I could. We ordered a Lenovo Legion 7i laptop on November 20 for my birthday. I live in an apartment building with no buzzer system. The only way to enter is with a physical key. This means a delivery driver must call me to be let in. Normally, this is never an issue, as I request that the package be held at a UPS pick-up location. However, in this case, Lenovo restricted the shipment as “Delivery to Address Only,” which meant it could not be held at UPS. After the first failed delivery attempt, we contacted UPS and aske...

Many people have asked for my other sheets. Click on my profile. The doc link is in the top post! In case you missed these earlier posts, I used 'flash sheets' as my main study method to get a 524. I have a neuroscience background and this seems like the fastest way to learn a lot of material for long-term retention. I'm sharing more examples at the bottom! Will be posting even more flash sheets soon.   *** ## How to study with flash sheets * **50% Memorizing the info on your sheets** * Spend half of your time going through flash sheets. * Only look at the name of each sheet (the clue), and try to explain everything on it from memory. This builds stro...

Hey folks, Got a doozy for you this week. The favourites page now automatically assigns your favourited products to create a list per store based on on maximum savings. Here are my monthly favourites to see it in action. I've selected that I want to shop at Woolies and Coles today. This shows that I should buy most of my items at Woolworths because that's where the most savings are, except for my Moccona coffee which is $11.50 cheaper at Coles. Don't mind visiting additional stores like Chemist Warehouse and Priceline? Just select them from the filter and those stores are added to the comparison. Adding Chemist Warehouse found savings for Colgate Plax and Swisse Mult...

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/quality. Salud!

Im not the most obsessively clean person but I have worked in grocery stores and wearhouses. I believe that all product that comes off of a shelf should be wiped off with a damp cloth because humans shed skin cells everywhere, warehouses are dirty places, and the back of a semi is also just dirty. I dont think that I will get super sick but its one less way for dust and dirt to get on your countertops and food.

Hey guys, I'm a former Airsoft Atlanta employee of 8 years. Prior to 2023, Airsoft Atlanta provided the best service and parts availability across Georgia. We genuinely strived to make every customer feel like they're coming home and just picking up some goodies. We had a staff of 4 in the newly opened store front and 2 at our warehouse location that remained a tight work family. On May 2023, Airsoft Atlanta was sold to Marc Cloutier. None of the staff was given any notice on the selling of the business. We just walked in one day, and boom, Airsoft Atlanta is gone. Day 1, Marc accused the staff of stealing his inventory, when the previous owner, Eric, had dismissed some of his olde...

Hey all, I'm a Sr. SDE working in Supply Chain Tech at a well-known company with a modern stack. 5 years in this space, MS in CS from a top public university. **My Endeavor (outside 9-5):** I'm building technical education content targeting non-technical supply chain workers—warehouse managers, local store owners, inventory planners. Teaching them how to leverage technology (data analysis, automation, GenAI) to improve their day-to-day operations. Why me: Years in supply chain tech gives me deep problem understanding. I bridge business and technical problems, and these skills extend beyond supply chain. I've also started publishing analysis on global supply chain disrupt...

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 words, you don't have to wait in the crazy lines right now and can hold off for a week or three until things get back to normal at the returns desk. They also said they're only refunding full $50 cards so hopefully you're not holding any partially used cards. Good luck

One thing I realized early on is that most inventory apps tell you what’s on your shelf, but they ignore the "invisible" costs that actually determine if you're profitable at the end of the month. I wanted a way to track the stuff that usually gets lost in spreadsheets. **What I’m tracking now in-app:** * **Ad Spend:** Logging daily/monthly spend per platform so I can see it right next to my inventory levels. * **Shipping Fees:** Not just what the customer pays, but the actual granular costs and labels. * **Membership/SaaS Fees:** All those "small" $29/mo subscriptions that add up to a mortgage payment. * **Credit Tracking:** A dedicated section for outstanding...
