        I'm trying to fight the urge to go into CostCo, seems like everytime I do a $50 bill just jumps mysteriously out of my pocket, and that's just the entry fee

          Can't seem go to Costco, Lowes, Home Depot or Ace without spending in increments of $100!

          As I said, entrance fee. Exit fee is usually x5

        I'll have to fight the urge to not buy the whole prime rib and just get a small prime rib

          Awfully similar to my last trip this past weekend. A pork belly to make bacon (although a third of it might get re-directed to do pork belly burnt ends) and a package of 3 racks of st. louis spare ribs.

            Planning on doing pork belly burnt ends myself as a Xmas treat as well.

              I was really tempted by the Prime Ribeye Roast. The marbling in them looked amazing but the triple digit price tag was a little too steep this time around.

                Yep we were Christmas shopping at Costco last night, and I came out with ribs and chicken wings. I decided THAT is what I want for Christmas dinner with my side of the family this weekend. . I would do a brisket, but the women folk wanted more "finger foods" for grazing on, versus a sit down dinner. I told the wife that ribs and wings are both "finger foods"....

                I should have grabbed a brisket or pork belly while there, for a future cook.

                  I'm going to have to ignore these Costco threads they just anger and frustrate me because there is not one in my area and never will be. I guess Costco did consider it but decided not to due to population density.

                    I buy 90% of my meat at Costco and spent a good amount there in the last few weeks. Cannot pass up the bone-in pork loin roasts because they are only available at my Costco this time of year and then again at Easter. Also got SL rib three pack. I have no problem passing on the beef rib roasts due to price. For now my freezer is full . . . . .probably need a bigger freezer. What is your go to recipe/cook for Costco wings?

                      RustyHaines Pretty much this. I don't make the sauce or dressing. I just cook the wings like this and toss them in Blues Hog Original BBQ sauce cut with some butter. The wife likes Franks Red Hot/butter. Ridiculously good and easy. I get the frozen wings from Costco. It takes about 2 days in the fridge to thaw them out. Usually only cook about a third of the bag at a time.

                        Thanks. My go to cooking instructions for wings as well but always wanting to learn something new. We could probably talk sauces for forever. I use a chicken dipping sauce I get from a BBQ joint in North Carolina. And sometimes I just like them nek'd.

                        Just made these wings two nights ago, very easy. But, did it in the oven at 450º, so I probably shouldn't post on out favorite BBQ site! From Mark Bitman, NYT Times cooking: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/...-chicken-wings
                        I used the melted butter and crushed a couple of garlic cloves, plus generous shakes from your favorite hot sauce (Arizona Pepper's Chipotle/Habenero sauce), back in the oven for 10 more minutes to brown and crisp a little more.

                      I just saw that Kroger and Tom Thumb are running choice ribeye roast for 4.50-4.75 per lb. I think I will have to check out my local Tom Thumb today and see how big of one I can get.

                        We decided on Christmas brisket this year. Can’t wait.

                          I will be heading to Costco today or tomorrow to pick up some skirt steak for carne asada for Christmas. We usually do just a bunch of snacks and appetizers instead of a big meal and figured a simple taco bar would fit the bill.

                          But I wouldn't be surprised if some pork bellies and briskets end up in the cart as well.

                            Joe,
                            In Seattle, I have never found skirt steak (called 'entraña' by my Chilean Patagonian son-in-law) at Costco. Maybe you have a larger Mexican community in Spokane, so they stock it there. Skirt is my favorite cut. Tiene mucho sabor!

                            I have seen skirt at our Costco before. At least I think I have seen it there.
