We went there today. I began squealing with delight as we walked down the
first two aisles which I think were promo items. Picked up some aerosol
cheese, mandarin oranges, refried beans and chili beans. All really good
prices.

Stood in the middle of the produce aisle and said I must be in heaven! It
was that good! They had everything including International foods and many
of the prices were half that of Albertson's or Safeway.

I did buy a brand of lunch meat turkey that I haven't heard of before. They
do sell a brand of things called HyTop. I bought some little cans of tomato
sauce of that brand. Haven't tried them yet. They do sell OnCor frozen
foods. I used to love some of those when we lived on the East Coast. They
are cheap, quick to fix and they taste good. Most of that pasta was that
brand with the red rose on it.

They did have some gluten free foods. I noticed Bob's Red Mill flour and
some GF mixes. I did not notice GF pasta, but they did have a big Asian
section so it is possible there was rice pasta there. I didn't look.

What I did not noticed was organic food. I can't say that they didn't have
it. I didn't actually look for it. I didn't really need much of anything
today. I was mainly just looking and checking prices.

I will for sure go there before husband comes home because they have all
sorts of stuff that he likes to eat. Like take and bake pizzas, sub
sandwiches, breakfast sandwiches, wraps, etc. Daughter and I got made up
vegetable salads (hers has chicken on it) for dinner. Very cheap prices!

Bulk candy section goes on forever. Also bulk pasta, popcorn, nuts, seeds,
etc. I didn't look really hard at the bulk stuff because I don't usually
buy it but we did buy some small amounts of the candy.

Also had a large end cap of those coffee beans that you grind. Many
different kinds. And they had the Bimbo bread! Yes! Nice looking bakery.
Loose bagels and pastries. More things for husband.

$3.33 for some kinds of soda in the 12 pack cans. Sun Drop was one such
brand. Shasta cheaper still. I think the Coke products were just slightly
more but cheaper if you get the 24 pack.

They do have some things in Costco type quantities. Daughter got a huge box
of Rice Krispies. They had the Cookie Crisp Sprinkles (regular sized box)
that everyone else seems to have discontinued. I will have to check the
price on Darigold Cottage Cheese at Costco. I think it might be cheaper
there, but Winco did have that size. Huge bagged cereals. Huge blocks of
cheese and bags of shredded cheese. But unlike Costco, they also have
normal sized things. I got a jug of Basmati rice for just under $5.

They do have the standard brands that you see in regular grocery stores but
also some off brands. I always try the off brands because sometimes they
are just as good if not better. And the ice cream section was huge! I
didn't really look at it because we don't need any today.

So we left the store with three 12 packs of soda and 7 bags of groceries. 4
were the reusable kind and three were the plastic kind. You do have to bag
your own but I don't mind. Total bill was $104 plus a few pennies. I am
very impressed and we will be going back!

Thanks for the review. I'm looking forward to seeing one open here.

Why? My husband goes through tons of it. So if I can get it for a good
price, I do!

No doubt. It has to be a joke.

Aerosol cheese is a guilty pleasure few would admit to. PVC probably keeps
cans hidden in her bathroom and spends hours a week in a closet with a can
of cheese and a box of crackers.

I think I paid $2.48 for it. Daughter won't eat Velveeta but she will eat
the aerosol stuff on occasion. I don't think the two are the same. The
taste might be the same but the texture is not. Not that I am overly fond
of either because I'm not.

Oh well. I guess I'm not very dignified then. Never claimed to be.

I used to work in Everett - a nice place but stinky in the general
direction of the paper mills. Hopefully, your food store is not next to
a paper mill.

Squeeze cheeze is a great convenience, especially if you're pretty lazy
guy. I like how you don't have to refrigerate it and it's always ready
for action. As an added bonus, it seems to last forever. I got a can
stashed away somewhere that I bought months ago - one of these days I'll
probably stumble across it. I'm betting that it'll be fine. That dried
plug that's on the nozzle is super-funky though. Please don't eat that!

The squeeze pancake batter is surprisingly OK too. You can make yourself
a single pancake in the wee hours with hardly any fuss at all. It's
pretty expensive stuff but when you're eating that single pancake in the
middle of the night it might just seem to be all worthwhile. :-)

That stink is long gone. I grew up in Edmonds and on a bad day we could
smell the stink at our house.

I don't know if the paper mills are closed or they just do things
differently. But there is no more stink. Still not a very nice city
though.

The food store is very close to Costco. We used to shop at that one until I
was approached by a guy in the parking lot. He was being very cocky and
asking for money so he could buy a new tire. Claimed he came down from
Pullman and needed to get back home. I didn't believe a word of it.
Daughter watched in horror as a woman gave him some money. Then he hopped
in some little car with a woman driving it and they drove out of the parking
lot, grinning.

The next day on the news there was a report of a purse thief in the same
parking lot. The thief was a middle aged woman.

We decided after that to go to the Woodinville Costco instead. We've not
had a problem there.

I didn't notice anything unsavory about Winco, but I will keep my guard up
while shopping there and particularly in the parking lot.

Yeah, that plug is awful. I did take a can of it to the dance convention.
Good thing because they did not give us the refrigerator I had requested. I
did bring some other shelf stable cheese. Foil wrapped. Daughter hates it
and I don't really like it. Husband ate some of it. We had the aerosol
cheese on a few potato chips for a snack with some protein in it.

I have seen that but we can't use it. I can only do gluten free, egg free
pancakes. They do not taste like real pancakes and the results vary. They
are not something I make very often at all.

Anyway... Daughter is already asking to go back to that store. That's good
because she hates shopping! But I do plan to go back next week if only to
stock up on soda.

Yes, but there are times we need something that doesn't require
refrigeration.

I veiw it differently,
-she might skateboard naked, not for the attention, but to see what the big
deal is.
-she is retired, but also has a spousal unit and a very comfortable income
if you read about her lifestyle... her daughter won't end up under a bridge,
because she seems to have some talent and brains, and so does julie, either
she will conform when she gets older, or she will stay with her mom, either
way, its not for me to judge, she isn't my child, and so i am not going to
have to answer for it, not having kids i am also not qualified to judge, all
i could do is say what i would tolerate if they visted my house...

Just guessing here, Om, but I don't think Julie really squeals in public.

Squealing in private is not very dignified... unless Julie is an
aerosol cheese Deliverance Banjo Babe.

Sounds like Julie squeals from pleasure... when it hurts so good.

I don't think people view me that way. In fact the only nasty comments I
get from people are here.

Nope. Got rid of my skateboard years ago. And naked? No. I also don't go
around attracting attention.

I am not living on a pension. And apparently you don't live in the Seattle
area. My behavior is very much socially acceptable here.

I am glad I don't live in your world. I really am. Sounds like a very
judgemental, frightening and boring way to live.

Maybe. Will have to rethink what we do. The other Costco is near the
Target and we usually combine those stores in one trip.

I really take exception to the word dignified. Why? Because that is the
one word my paternal grandma used in reference to the name she gave my dad.
She used the word very nastily to my mom when my mom called him something in
reference to his poor behavior at my grandma's house.

This woman was not well liked by anyone in the family because of her own
poor behavior. She thought she was better than everyone else and was going
to let the world know it. She embarrassed me even as a young child by
barging ahead of everyone in line at a department store to demand change for
her nickel so that I could get a gum ball out of the machine. A gum ball
that I didn't even want.

Now that's just one example. And to make matters worse, I was her favorite
grandchild for some reason and she made sure the other grandchildren knew
it.

I do not ever want to be like that. And if that is what dignified is, then
you can have it!

that is even cooler to me, because you can get just a few things that you
need when at either target or the grocery, no need for a huge costco shop,
which for me means hunting more clearance items. Lee

There is a lot of funny business going on in Washington State parking
lots it seems. My sister-in-law used to tell me of incidents in parking
lots. My wife once saw a naked man sneaking around in a park-n-ride once.

You called it "soda." Most folks in WA don't do that. It used to bug me. :-)

Most folks haven't heard of pancake batter in a pan. I suspect that most
never will. OTOH, keeping pancake batter in a pressurized state until
it's ready to be used is actually a very good idea.

As I recall, it was pretty good considering it came from a can. I don't
recall if it needed to be refrigerated. It probably does. Now that I
think about it, pancakes seem like a good idea right about now...

You mean the recipe demands preservatives?

My little tip for waffles is to invert the waffle iron like you would
a snapping turtle, add the batter, and turn the iron back on it's
little feet. Obviously, this works better it your iron is the size of
a small turtle and not like a giant Galapagose tortoise.

LOL, one of the things we lost in the fire was one of those waffel irons
you flip at some point in the cooking, DH always made them, and as i said
not often so i haven't a clue of when... the recipe i had picked out to try
in it next was an actual dough rather than a batter.

"Things We Lost in the Fire" is a pretty good flick. Sorry to hear of
your fire.

There's nothing quite so happy, I think, as a guy making waffles. :-)

We don't buy a lot at Costco most of the time. Mainly cheeses, hummus,
apples and carrots. I do buy some supplements, paper products, gifts and
some other things.

Yes. There is a lot of weird stuff going on in various parking lots here.

I dislike the word "pop". That's what my dad used to call his step-dad. If
someone says "soda pop", that doesn't bother me.
