Range day bliss...from COSTCO???

po18guy · Apr 22, 2024

Was staggering through CostCo with my son. They sell lots of red/black and yellow black storage tubs. Decent stuff. OK...what's this? A set of four .30 caliber ammo cans with a storage/carry tray? $19.99? OK, I'll bite. Good general purpose 30 cal cans, made in Kalifornia with a locking tab and rubber seal. The tray seems strong enough to tote them with a reasonable amount of ammo. But CostCo would NEVER sell MAGA gear. So, what's up?

OH, I see! They are "storage units" good for "arts & crafts, utility storage, office supplies

, tools, tackle and coins"

Right.

Amazon sells them for $36.99. Huh.

If they find out what you used them for they may stop selling them :s0140:

You made me look.

I went online, and these non-ammo storage boxes are $29.99, plus 3-bucks shipping. Yes, I know online the price is 10-bucks higher, but it's a bargain if I don't have to drive I-205 into the big nasty city.

But I also got a case of toilet paper to ride along for free.

Hope they don't figure out what we're actually using this stuff for.

I'm emailing a pic of them stuffed with woke slogan T-shirts.

The ammo cans go well with the gun safes they sell.

Yep very often in store and online are 2 totally different things price wise. Likewise products online sometimes are not in store and Vice versa.

Product recalls

Those work great for low pressure irrigation fitting holders. Doesn't everyone have low pressure drip irrigation setups at their homes and keep fittings, emitters and such in stock?

Who would use them for other stuff?

Besides, if you're worried about Costco sending your information to the .Gov, you're naive. Very, very naive. You should have bigger issues with the places you've been doing business with for decades.

As a matter of fact, I do! I just got done (yesterday) verifying all six watering zones were clear and working properly.

I really enjoy the awakening of all our foliage and blooms during spring time. :s0155:

I've got plenty of those. Both bottles and cans. Some are sixteen ouncers, but most are only twelve. :s0005:

Bought my last rifle case thru the costco app. Heluva deal too. The box it came in even had target rings printed on the inside. One of the best purchases I've made from there other than the 55 gallon drum of roasted, salted sunflower seeds.

Or are those the "giant jewelry secure storage units"?

nope, gun safes;

Corporate is pretty anti gun, largely because they are based in a solidly blue city, but most of the actual stores know who they cater to and have stock to suite.
