That’s right folks! Costco, for whatever reason changed the tortilla strip chip bag from a perfectly recyclable bag to this piece of shit bag that you can’t recycle.

I buy the big thing of cashews from there; recently, they went from the infinitely-reusable and recyclable hard plastic cube with screw-on top to a plastic bag like this. The label says “uses 40% less plastic” or some shit. Costco is a good company, but holy shit so much single-use plastic.
The cubes, for 9/10 people, is single use plastic. That was actually a good change.
This is also consistent with Reduce reuse recycle
About the time they got rid of the hard plastic cashew jars and switched to the bags, they also started selling a (more expensive) glass jar of cashews.
So for me, it does cut down on the plastic, since now I just refill the glass jar with the bagged cashews, rather than needing to buy (and dispose of) the plastic jar every time.
I might feel differently if I was actually reusing the plastic jars for something but I really wasn’t (not after the first few, anyway).
I totally re-use glass jars! It’s a nice cleanable container.
How many of those cubes is it reasonable for someone to have?
If that threshold is less than 10, I’m unreasonable
If you are building something out of it like a raft, any number is fine.
most of the recent changes to costco lately is the current ceo, hes been trying to make it behave like other large chains as of recently.
