I made a Costco run in 38 minutes door to door
It was on a Saturday evening as well.
I needed to get all of the ingredients for dinner before a school event and succeeded
Edit I should add that dinner was teriyaki salmon with crispy roasted potato wedges,rice, and a spinach salad.

My reaction to reading this:
"Pfft, 38 minutes door to door isn't that special."
".....Oh shit, on a Saturday evening?! Kudos dude!"
I was going for the big items that they don't move to much. That helped. The yogurt moved and I was standing for a while next to a lady who was also obviously puzzled as to where it went. I had to buy the brand name to make the time.
I felt bad since I didn't have time to chat with the employees like I usually do.
Are you the kind of person who would usually ask a worker / other shoppers for help finding something? My wife hates it when I do that
"excuse me, which one of these two computers are better?"
"well you see, it all started with the performance race of the 90s and millennium with the release of the pentium processor, and the competing k5. Back then you could use a potato chip and still get comperable performance... [7 hours later] I hope that answers your question"
I’ve abandoned shame long ago I searching for a specific item my wife asked me to get.
I’ll even ask customer service to direct me to other warehouses that do have the item,
I’m transitioning to old man that talks to store workers to have a conversation with humans.
Unrelated, but one time I asked for eggs, when it was the egg apocalypse. There were none on the shelf. The customer service desk stopped me on my way out, after regular check out, and sold me a carton.
They really try and help.
I went the other way. Weekend mornings by me are an insane madhouse of small business owners, soccer moms, and octogenarians. By evening it’s usually pretty quiet.
Mentally, this feels nigh unbelievable. As I get PTSD from my Costco, especially on the weekend nights… were you running through the store like, Supermarket Sweep?
There’s absolutely no way this would ever be possible at the Costco nearest me. I actually dread going to that consumerist hellhole any time I’m dragged there.
It should not have been possible at mine.
Let me guess, you got out for under $200, too.
Dirty lies.
It was 98 for a single dinner….
For how many?
5
I don't understand how you spent that much, assuming you had no ingredients left over. I could spend less at Whole Foods.
I had ingredients left over to make the same meal later in the week.
A village
Inconceivable.
Every time I go into Costco for one quick thing, I walk out an hour later with things I didn't even know existed.
On the bright side, I got myself a $20 cast iron pan and it's my new favorite.
I made a Costco Run in less than 12 parsecs
Did that include sitting on the floor for 15 mins waiting for the rotisserie chicken to come out?
No samples, no waiting for chicken.
Okay, that's just plain impossible my dear friend. You shouldn't be lying in the Dull Men's Club.
What're you, some kinda wizard?
I will get my kids to school events fully fed and on time even if the dark arts are required.
I often bike to Costco, doing more frequent smaller trips.. That is a doable time if you don't have to park.
Door to door meant from my house in my car, parking, shopping, and back to my house.
Same. I'm really quite impressed you managed to do that in a car! The parking usually kills the time.
I'm sure it was a one time thing. I'm usually closer to an hour.
Impressive!
