New to Costco but just made the best discovery there!
They split their fresh chicken wings for you. Normally at Sams or any grocery store they come with the drumstick, wing and the tip all attached. I will smoke 80 wings at a time and it takes a long time to separate them all. This one discovery makes the whole switch over to Costco worth it for me.
I have a batch in the brine as I type. Smoking tomorrow!

The fill their tires with nitrogen. Apparently it is better, they say. You can add air to them if they run low.

Well, since the air in the Earth's atmosphere is 78% nitrogen already, I really don't see how it could make any difference at all.

They'll put a green valve stem cap on the tire when it's filled with nitrogen. I've heard all sorts of advantages, including the fact that nitrogen molecules are bigger, so the tire won't lose air as fast, the contraction/expansion thing you note above, and something about how nitrogen prevents moisture in your tires that you can get from normal air.

That's what I was thinking when someone cautioned me on pressurizing them with "normal air".

Thanks for the specifics. It sounds like the kind of difference that might be really significant during the Indy 500, but that only an engineer with serious OCD would care about when it comes to normal driving.

It doesn't work. They do the same thing at the Hyundai dealership where I take my Sonata. Seems like a gimmick.

You could probably take a single bulb back, say they all burned out, and they'd say "we're really sorry about that" and refund your money. Costco is unreal for customer service.
As mentioned up thread, that teriyaki pork jerky is awesome...but not once you get past a few days IMO. For best results, I've found it best to crush the bag within a couple days.

So I did it once. I'm convinced it broke my printer. A week after I got it done my printer spool locked up and there was some blank ink in the printer that looked like it leaked.

That's one of the best thing about Costco. You don't need to keep your receipts for returns.

Have had that happen with a local refill service. Found out it is better to just pay the piper. Or go to your local library for 10 cents a sheet.
Bought some after reading about it in this thread. One bag lasted less than two days. Need to stock up on this. Sooooo delicious.

Never buy a remanned/refilled inkjet cartridge. There are some good lasers out there but you need to be careful with that too. Never buy one that is just refilled. Plus HP and others are putting new security into their devices and cartridges so they won't accept compatibles so make sure you can return the laser cart if your printer won't accept it.

Thanks, @belljr & SLB. Saw it in their monthly flyer and was hoping it was as good a deal as it sounded like.

10g of sugar with each serving. It's better than some jerkies, but still annoying. I know jerky needs some sugar in it, but I sure wish I could find some sugar free stuff at Costco, no dice.

I think my Costco membership just might offset the expenses of having a newborn. Diapers, formula, etc are worth the membership alone.

Buy a dehydrator and make your own jerky. It's a simple process and the end result crushes anything you can get in a store.

Not anymore but I do have some friends that will give me venison. Otherwise the local store has buy one get one free London broil that makes good jerky.

You can check if you're set for auto renew online. You need to call or go to the counter if you are and want to cancel that.

Membership rates are going up as of June 1. I just renewed and heard about that before I did so. I wasn't auto renewed and ended up renewing online when I had to renew. Better than waiting in line at the customer service desk.

They always auto-renew on the Costco CC, without it they will add it the first time you are checking out after the expiration.

Got a coupon for the kirkland protein bars. The chocolate chip cookie dough is impressive, considering how hard it is to get a good tasting bar together. They are pretty dense like quest bars, but not as much and they actually have good flavor (unlike quest)

Bought some Chef's Cut Steak Jerky at Costco recently. They were running a special so bought some and find it really tasty. Also like that the pieces are not dried out at all.

Might have been a "new member" mailer I got. I just reengaged my old membership since I just moved from a no Costco area. Also got a coupon for a free bag of kirkland steak strip jerky, which was p ####### good. Not much sugar in that either, for jerky (5g/oz).not seeing it in the mailer and I just finished my box last night
good snack

We got a thing in the mail offering 25% our first order through Google Express. You apparently can get most things that Costco carries via Google Express with free overnight shipping. Seems too good to be true, but I may give it a shot.

One of my favorite Costco days of the year happened today.
Executive Member Rebate Check Arrival Day.
Usually avoid Costco on Easter Weekend, but I'll be there Monday to re-up on that charcoal deal and get some meats for the next week or three.
We're having our first 80-degree days, so that means getting the Costco tower fans out of storage and into the living areas. We have several of them, and they save us a bunch in housecooling costs.
