Pickles by Brian Crane for November 04, 2020

Never tried Costco. I’m a Sam’s Club guy.

She has forgotten that her father puts ketchup on everything.

If I were inherited a Costco bottle of ketchup for that remark, I’d just give it to someone else as I’m not into ketchup.

Odd that she didn’t buy a whole palette of the stuff from Costco.

The Ketchup would probably be separated by that time into water and solids, as ours does here!

Ketchup gets used in many different things …. The bottle will be used . Opal the cook knows what she is doing ;-)

“and then after you, it’ll be passed on to Nelson!”

“Along with that 7 gallon tube of Preparation H…”

Wait until the kids see all the paper products I’m leaving them…

I’m going to ask just one question , no , I’m not , I mean it I’m not going to . SAD : (

KROGER!

Part of? It IS her inheritance.

I’ve got one grandson that ( if allowed ) would use up that large bottle of ketchup in a week! He’s in that teenage stage of putting the stuff on everything!

Love Costco!

Retired in a RV for seven years. Always spent the winter in Arizona. Come spring when all the other snowbirds went back home we inherited their unused condiments. One year we received nine bottles of different mustards.

Opaĺ is just like Aunt Bea buying the freezer and the roast beef.

Opaĺ must be old enough to be a child of the great depression.

In THIS house, left alone and defenseless,it’s be gone in a few days.

Dried crud and all. Now if they could only invent an el grande honey bottle that won’t sugar.

It’s a good point to make as people tend to save money buying these huge amounts that they’ll never be able to use. However, cooking for a family requires ketchup in my sloppy joes and meatloaf as well as some salad dressings and sauces. Big bottles are a boost!

My wife has a painful foot condition. A trip to Costco every month or two saves her many painful small trips to the local supermarket. We always seem to use up what she buys.

Just what an elderly parent needs, a reminder of one’s mortality.

Actually, it comes in three-packs now. Easier to divvy among your kids.

Save the Ketchup packs from the fast food places!

I’m one of those people who never has ketchup on food. I have sweet chilli sauce on burgers but that’s pretty much it.

Not the nicest thing to say to an elderly parent. We all gotta go, but no need to rub it in over big bottle of ketchup. Maybe if she bought a case of them.

At that point you’ll both be past your expiration dates.

Add some oregano…….. makes GREAT spag. sauce (if you’re in a hurry).

Not sure what the point was of criticizing the purchase. She could get a container and take some of the ketchup home so that it will get used before it goes bad.

We bought a large jar of Hellman’s mayonnaise last March. Just used it up a week a go.

Unless, you’re like me, who uses a lot of ketchup.

Now that my family is just down to my daughter and I, we are trying to break the habit of buying EVERYTHING in bulk. It is taking us a while to realize that not everything goes quickly enough or has a self life long enough to make buying large quantities make sense.

I buy my ketchup from Costco as well. It comes in a three pack of large containers. I don’t use ketchup often, But the price is so reasonable compared to what you find in the grocery store, but it’s like an investment

Something to look forward to.

OR

A reason to hope she lives a loooong time.

My sister-in-law looked at all of Mama’s accumulated treasures and commented it would take three dumpsters to haul it all off.

My other sister-in-law said that was silly, that she would see what she could get for it on eBay.

And over time, Mama got confused and thought I made the dumpsters comment.

HAHAHAHAHA today!!!

With just me and my wife, jumbo size containers are useless to us. Family size are okay.

I only use ketchup at Whataburger. Why would I want any ketchup at home?

Why and how did her perky, pointy nose get so bulbous in the third panel?

That’s how much ketchup I use in two weeks.
