You can get the exact same ones (with a different brand name on them) at MEC.

What the hell is MEC?

Pink? Maybe. Maybe not. You decide.

Mountain Equipment Co-op. Iron_Mike certainly knows what I am talkin' bout, Willis.

Our version of REI.

Long Chile was a silly place.

I bought a new pack last fall... some are muted brownish, some are muted blackish?

I live 'in 'em all winter.

Surely you can find a deal there that will offset the added cost. Perhaps they've discounted the 100-can pack of sardines, or the 5-gallon pail of salsa.

Make up the difference in free samples.

Thanks Trump!

Too many Chinese people in line getting "lunch".

that's the most racist thing i've read on here...this morning.

ΜΟΛΩΝ-ΛΑΒΕ
we're doomed

Nothing racist about it. The lineups for the samples are stupid long and they are 90% Chinese people. I don't fully understand why.

If I have to wait more than 2 seconds to get a sample, I walk right past it.

They've been $12.99 here for a while, that is what I paid last Spring. Which when converted to moose droppings is right around $16.99. Trump finally fixed the loophole that Obama was apparently letting third world countries get away with.

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

Were they Dad jeans?

The lineups for the samples are stupid long and they are 90% Chinese people.

They ran out of cash after buying all the properties in Vancouver so now need a free lunch.

Bite your tongue! They are exceedingly stylish $15.99 jeans.

Same here in Seattle. I become a raging prick at people that are rude with the samples (they are typically from the same region of the world) and also their incorrect cart usage.

I'm ashamed to admit that I bring along the non-wife to get in the sample line behind me as a pseudo-sampler so I can double up.

The sample lines at my Costco are reminiscent of a food truck pulling in to a UN refugee camp. I imagine one day I will be hauled off by police for purposefully running over an old lady multiple times because of how she parked her cart while trying to grab multiple sample cups of gogurt.

On the flip side, I almost admire their skill. My Costco has fairly wide aisles but they have mastered leaving their carts in a position that manages to block off the entire aisle. Its like an art form.

Meanwhile our Costco cashew prices have increased by about $7 over the past few months. I didn't stock up enough!!

My SO is a vegetarian, but you better bet she grabs every meat sample so I can double up.

The cashews at my Costco went from $16.99 to $18.99. I blame Donnie Dorange.

You just need to look around more. This might help,
