So 8 or 10 dogs in a pack, 12 buns to a bag, what do you do with the leftover buns?

I hate wasting food. I'd use them as toast. Like just smash them in the toaster and hope they come up toasted and not burn.

I found the suggestion odd as well, tbh. I'd have to drive 20+ miles to the nearest costco for a $2 hot dog. Or I could go to the grocer a halve mile from my house, buy a whole pack of hot dogs and eat 6 of them for $2 bux. I could even put on some toppings from my own fridge to spice it up. Possibilities are endless

Well, it's probably a dumb assumption on my part, but I assume everyone going to Costco is going to spend 20 minutes getting to teh food counter at minimum, thus my initial surprise. And my Costco is bad.

But maybe they aren't all the same.

And, in the interest of full disclosure the Home Depot two miles from me has a cart from the guy who opened a Chicago Dogs place in town, and he has the best lunch in the area - Chicago Dogs, Polish, Italian Beef, Gyros - all are terrific.

I am by no means a snob. I just have bad memories of some food purchases from the Costco cafe.

Didn't mean to ruin anyone's day over a hot dog opinion.

This all brought back flooding memories when dining while shopping was Legit.

I actually enjoyed the cafeteria at Kmart back in the day.

Still weird to me that the town I live in celebrates St. Patty's on first Saturday of March.

I just saw on a friend's facebook page that my hometown is having a parade for "Irish Fun Day" on March 16th.

Have we seriously gone PC over "St. Patrick's Day"???? Please say it ain't so.

Did it to Good Friday years ago (now Spring Fling)...Wonder what really took so long to change St. Patrick's Day.

Independence Day will now be known blandly as 4th of July since that's the day it is held on.

Ommy told me AOC wants to call it Dependence Day. Although every day is a Depends Day for him.
