Got my Costco membership today and went shopping for the first time. Really enjoyed it! Great selection and prices, friendly employees. Switching my pets over from Target brand food. Gonna support the companies that don't kowtow to fascists. www.foodandwine.com/costco-pay-i... - ThreadSky

They also make excellent and affordable high prescription eyeglasses.

I want a Costco in my area. 😭

The Costco Nature's Domain is rebranded Taste of the Wild. Totally a quality food.

My sister and her boyfriend both work for Costco and absolutely love it. Costco’s been so great for them. One of their favorite things to do when traveling is visit other Costcos - I’m not sure how many people can say that about their employer.

Costco is the best.

If you don't mind me asking, how does their gluten-free selection look?

endcase.bsky.social•27 days ago

My wife is gluten-free (and dairy-free & soy-free) and she finds lots of things at CostCo. Like too many things.

That sounds promising. Our closest stores are about an hour away, so if we join, it'd have to be an occasional trip with their delivery service in between.

I was impressed! Got a double batch Schar gf white bread, gf strawberry cake pops, gf protein cereal, lots of protein, actually? Snacks, bars, chips. Rotisserie chickens are gf. Real Good Chicken Strips in a 3lb. bag. I was *delighted* by all the options.

Oh my gosh, a gluten-free, high-protein cereal would actually be a dream! It's something I've been on the lookout for, but I haven't been able to find reliably.

Magic spoon is pretty good though it's a little on the pricey side. There are some reasonably good keto gf options as well.

I personally like Three Wishes. I got Catalina at Costco today and like it fine, but I didn't check beforehand and a serving is only 1/2 a cup, which isn't as filling as I'd like-- but that half cup has 11 grams of protein! They also had Seven Sundays gf, but it didn't have enough protein for me.

I love Costco; have an Executive membership because we shop there so much that it pays for itself and more.

I also see employees there that have been with the store since the 90s.

I'm also very amused by the hot dog combo lore.

My mom has worked at Costco for 14+ years and they’ve been great to her especially when she’s dealt with major health issues including breast cancer treatment. They even retrained her when her original dept was eliminated. They try to do right by people and I respect it.

I *finally* convinced my husband to boycott Target. I still hear "Amazon is the only one who has (whatever-it-is). I did convince him that the members of this household do NOT cross picket lines. Thankfully, Costco settled their contract with their employees.

We already have the CC membership (and love it) but I’ve gotta work hard to extricate myself from the Target system.
