Default Just another day at Costco

Picked up a package of pork chops, eggs, mozz, socks, printer
paper, Tate's cookies and a flu shot.

And a set of really nice Nordic Ware baking sheets.

Pork chops and socks... sure sounds like a trip to Costco! (laughing)

I got used to that method of shopping back in 1965 in Minneapolis at,
I think, Treasure Island (store). We got some ice skates for me, a
stroller for my daughter and lettuce and milk. My husband looked at
snow tires.
The one stop shopping concept has been around a long time.
I was in Costco today and was very, very good. I walked right on by
the displays of Halloween candy.
No Kirkland olive oil. Darn. I've got to start buying a standby-by
bottle of their olive oil against the times when they have none..

The past couple of years flu shots have been readily available in many
places. We've never had to pay for them but i understand most are
reasonably priced if you do.

Remember a few years back, there was all this hollering and
screaming how we were all going down with the worst flu ever?
So I went to the pharmacy and got my first flu shot ever.

Well, I guess the guy thought my shoulder was fat not muscle
so he stabbed me good. I'm serious, blood everywhere. He
ran for paper towels to hide the evidence from the line of
people behind me.

This on top of them saying they couldn't get my insurance
company on the phone, so we wound up paying big for 2 flu shots.

So now we go to Costco, tiny needle, $14.99, we pay it but it's
worth it. Tiny needle, nice people. I know what I'm in for.

Not to say that the insurance companies shouldn't cover Costco
immunizations, they should be wishing everyone went there.

There used to be a Treasure Island chain here, but I don't think
it was the same. They were more seasonal/crafts.

We already got the Christmas candy. Today I dawdled by the nice
Christmas gift candies.

They also had warm white LED Christmas tree lights. I'm hoping they
are an improvement over the ones I have currently, maybe I'll grab them
next year.

Darn it. I get the Tuscan when it's in, and the regular extra virgin
otherwise. I didn't look to see what they had lately.

BTW, those Nordic pans got the top rating from Cook's Illustrated this
month. They are quite sturdy and not $15 each as the magazine said,
but %15 for 2 half sheets plus a larger one.

I got mine in a drugstore last year. I was in there for something else,
saw the sign for free flu shots, asked about getting one. Ten minutes
later I was on my way.

Ours were always given by the HMO so it was covered. Now that we have
Medicare they bill them for far more than $14.99.

I can get the shot for free at any number of places, I just
have to have the place bill the insurance company. Unfortunately,
Costco isn't one of my approved suppliers. You'd think Medicare
would approve them, too. I don't know the ins and outs of that
situation.

I think you got a better deal on the pans than I did. I got mine
several years ago and they came with plastic covers that I never have
used. 3 pans is a really good deal.

It's all a coincidence, we just talked about replacing our old
sheet pans, then I saw the review, and just happened across them
at Costco today.

In true big box fashion, I wasn't sure how big the smaller two
pans were in relation to the ones I already had. Maybe the one
big one was that size. Ha, the two smaller ones are slightly
larger than my pans, and the big one? It could have a future as
a boot tray. Geez.

it's funny how we say these things - it's free but there's a bill

I got my "free" flu shot today at work by handing over some insurance and
personal info - my office is in a medical center and they were giving
shots in the lobby. The nice lady asked me to unbutton my shirt and slip
my shoulder out. She said it's a safer shot that way but I'm pretty sure
she just wanted to check out my bod. I'm only half kidding -- she chatted
me up, asking what sports do my kids like to play etc. I had my clothes
back in order by that point.

Ha. There's always a bill, whether you pay for it in taxes or
premiums, or your employer is paying. Of course, the insurance
company pays a fraction of what you'd cough up if you pay yourself.

Clearly she was in it for more than the jab.

I was wearing a tshirt, not my usual attire in October but it was 85.

Nordicware has the very best bakeware. I use their sheet pans on the
deck for feeding the outdoor cats, eliminates spillage clean up. I
also keep a small sheet pan under my bread toaster, catches crumbs and
keeps heat from the counter top. Nordicware invented the Bundt pan,
all others really aren't Bundt pans, just poor imitations. I love all
their molded cake pans, I have a large collection, many are no longer
made and have become valuable collectors items.
All Nordicware is made in the USA:

I get my flu shot at my doctor's office,
expertly administered by Nurse Nancy RN...
never felt a thing and not a drop of blood,
not even on the band aid when removed the
next day... no charge, ins. covered it.

They hold up well outdoors, plastic trays crack in winter.
I have some for baking but sheet pans have many uses, why buy flimsy
Chinese pans? I have them in the cabinet under the kitchen sink and
bathroom vanities, great for catching drips/leaks. I have one on the
floor in a kitchen cabinet for storing cooking oil, sometimes those
plastic jugs start to seep. They require little storage space so I
have many, and they are rather inexpensive, I found the lowest prices

Funny you should mention just that, Nancy.
Today in my area will be a potentially record heat day.
As of 1pm, temp is 82F, and they are predicting 85 or higher
today.

I love these "no charge" "free" shots. Someone is
paying for all that. The insurance companies are
all for-profit businesses. They are not giving
anything to any of you out of the kindness of their
hearts.

Before Medicare, shots were covered by our insurance. The figured it is
cheaper to pay for a shot than treatment of the flu. Of course, it is
in the premiums we paid.

I was down to my Tshirt around noon today. I was at the shooting range
and even in the shade it was too warm for shirt over the T.

I was talking with someone in a small county health department (pop.
12,000). They get >$100,000 annually from federal programs for
childhood immunizations. Your tax dollars are paying for that. Of
course, that is a wise investment:

Giving you a shot of serum that costs very little saves them having to
pay for doctor visits and prescription medication. It is a money saver
for them.

Were you at the Business Costco? I know what you mean. I had to
repeat to myself "my oven is half-sheet size", because the full sheet
was calling my name too.

I see someone's been messing around with his picture tags again. How
childish!

That sounds like a good, practical use for it.

As I said, on my old browser I don't see tags, just the .jpg. If Sheldon
requests it, I can change his tag to whatever. Otherwise I won't bother.
Now, I'll have to look at it in another browser just to see what his tag
is.

That said, it appears that anyone can add a tag but can't change a tag
(except for me). For anyone still using tinypic, simple solution seems
to be just add a tag when you download a pic. Any tag...even just a
dash. Seems like that might protect it from being changed.

oh all right

I use a couple of them for seed starting, much sturdier to move about
than those flimsy/bendy plastic nursery trays.

I have all three sizes and use them all. I use the smallest under my
bread toaster, in fact I not five minutes ago cleaned the toaster of
crumbs and and the tray, Dysoned them.
Thing is no matter what they're used for they can easily be cleaned
and used for food.

But, Ed and Dave, there are many examples of insurance companies refusing
to pay for preventive measures when those would be much more cost-effective
than treatment of a degenerative condition.* What they will and won't pay seems
to depend on some actuary calculating how long it will take the patient to die as
opposed to how long will they require preventive measures. Insurance
companies never do anything that won't make them money in the long run.

*an example would be all the decades insurance refused to pay for mammograms,
while knowing there would be many deaths from breast cancer that could have
been prevented by early detection.

Why? Do you need to know how long it takes to go somewhere?
