Shit maybe this is old news but Iā€™m fucking devastated: Costco no longer sells prime boneless ribeye caps. I just got a Costco membership after not having been in about two years, with those ribeye caps being on my mind the whole time I was away. Just went to Costco today, and gone. Checked the internet and it is confirmed, gone since last fall. Iā€™m fucking crushed. At this point what is left to live for?

Things come and go and come back all the time at Costco

Except for those $1.50 hot dogs. Those will always be there.

My friend moved here from Korea maybe 6 months ago and boy does he love Costco. I think he told me 3 or 4 stories within 2 hours that centered around something great about Costco lmao.

Asians almost universally seem to love Costco. My Filipino coworker used to tell stories about buying 5lbs of carrots because it was such good value, and his wife wondering what the hell they were going to do with them. My Chinese ex loves the place. At work Costco was up there with traffic as a conversation topic.

Examples of comebacks? Everything that Iā€™ve liked that went away has yet to come back.

Also Polish sausage > Hot dog. Iā€™d love a come back on that one

I feel like Iā€™d love costco but I canā€™t get over the membership aspect. Just seems so wrong.

Best fried chicken I have ever hadā€¦is at a local Save-a-Lot. It should make no sense, but apparently the Save-a-Lot took over a local deli, and a part of the deal was to keep the deliā€™s recipe.

Man that is some serious good fried chicken.

Was talking to some random colleague of my wifeā€™s once at some function. She had a good story about a bloke turning up at her door one afternoon, he was a farmer selling apples door-to-door. Apparently the apple he gave her to try was delicious and it sounded like a great price per apple, so she ordered 5 bags.

A few days later some dudes turn up at the house with 5 big sacks of apples, give it the whole ā€œweā€™re just the delivery peopleā€, and she ends up with a hell of a lot of apples to get rid of. My wife brought home a bag (not a sack) a few days later, they were pretty good.

Iā€™m still unsure if this was some scam, or if she just didnā€™t listen to what was going on.

We must be weird because we easily go through about 5 pounds of carrots every two weeks or so. And they last at least a month or more in the fridge without worry of spoilage, so they are a great vegetable to always have on hand versus things like asparagus and broccoli which I wonā€™t buy unless we plan to eat same day or next day. (Although asparagus and broccoli from the farmers market will last at least several days in top condition, but the stuff from grocery stores in the Northeast just doesnā€™t last at all.)

Donā€™t go giving me false hope!

My Costco only has prime rib tomahawks in and out. The Kirkland Signature Canadian whiskey, one of the best values in booze anywhere, left and came back and looks like it may be on its way out again.

I really wish I could get Kirkland booze at my Costco. (In Vermont, all beverages >16% alcohol are sold exclusively by the state)

Iberico ham comes and goes, and only at some Costcos. But I think thatā€™s more of an availability thing. Are ribeye caps hard to come by?

Btw this has happened to me at Trader Joes so many times (turkey mignons, blue corn tortillas, chile and onion tortillas, a bunch of other stuff) that Iā€™m pretty sure Iā€™m on the Truman Show and the audience gets bored seeing me eat the same stuff all the time.

Over thanksgiving my dad bought a piece of shit tenderloin with all the silver skin still on from Giant Eagle for like $20/lb. I told him he could get the same thing at Costco for half price and he replied he hates Costco because he has no storage. Ok boomer.
