Don't forget Chuy's!

Man....that location has been a mystery to me for decades.  Chuys is mexican food for basic white people and tourists, so who the fuck goes there?

The white people who didn't realize what neighborhood they were buying/renting in.

. . . and yet there's a Maudie's a quarter mile away.  Still not the best choice in the neighborhood, not by a long shot, but . . . Chuy's?

We used to white collar the happy hour at that Chuy's because the work ladies and their friends all wanted to go there.  Alrighty, we'll follow.

This is, perhaps, a really stupid question, but how do I find out in-store meat prices at costco without going there?  When I go to grocery on the website all I see is the online-only stuff.

Do you have “buy in warehouse”selected in the filters?

just poked around, maybe you are right that the butcher cuts aren’t online.  Buy in warehouse serves things like frozen burger patties when I search for something more specific like ribeye or sirloin I don’t even get the buy in warehouse option in the filter tab.

I find the hours of 2-5 am to be the perfect time to take a taco stroll on a Saturday or Sunday morning.

Yup.  That filter should absolutely work, but it doesn't.  The closest I've gotten is to pick same day or 2 day delivery, and poke around that way.  They make it clear though that those prices are higher because they have the fees baked in.

China town center at Lamar and braker. In that center, Baguette House and Lily sandwich shop have fantastic Bahn mi.

I took my kids up there for pho once.  We went to MT Super market and I showed them the seafood section. It reeked of fish.  My middle son was about 9 and he said "they should call it PU instead of MT."

Yeah....MT definitely has an odor issue.  Great selection, but it's not the nicest.  HMart and 99 Ranch are our preferred asian grocery options.  I'm a big 99 Ranch guy -- their produce section is phenomenal.  And hell, sometimes it's nice to cook up some duck eggs.  To steer this somewhat back to the main topic, we shop at specialty stores a lot more now that there's just two of us, and a lot less at bulk stores like Costco.  Bulk food made for feeding a family of 4 for 3-4 meals doesn't make nearly as much sense when it's just two adults at home.

Dry goods (TP, paper towels, detergent, etc.) still work for empty nesters, but yeah, I'm not buying a 5-pack of nice ribeyes and freezing 3 of them just to save a couple of bucks per pound.

Same same.  That's pretty much our Costco list: paper towels, TP, some cleaning products, a few shelf-stable foods, a few prepared foods (e.g., their pre-made chicken tikka masala, which makes at least two good dinners for two with ease).  Meat purchases are really only for when we're cooking for a group or the kids are home.
