Costco does have cheap things, but you do have to buy more. Then there is stuff where you save like a couple of dollars and end up with 4x as much as you wanted. It works out better if you share things with people.
Vege and fruit isn't priced too badly, just need to be careful when it was packed. Some meats are priced good, others are on par with certain butchers. Variety of items applies to my first statement. I picked up one of them ninja blender things for about $50 cheaper than what it was priced at all shops.
Plenty of fuckwits stand around in the middle of the isles with the massive trolleys and piss me off, I am constantly just ramming people now, makes me feel better.
A lot of the supermarket chains are having to do specials all the times to match the prices, even then a fair bit of stuff is cheaper at costco due to the bulk

Hot chips are the secret to off season mass (from one of australia's biggest bodybuilders) not sure if he was taking the piss, but he was eating a bag of macca's chips when he was telling me!
Was also told by a former NRL player, that they were told to have a macca's thick shake & big mac before & after weights to put on weight. I mean he was training twice a day at the time, so he probably didnt put on any fat & was using the energy from it, but it still shocked me. I tried it, i did put on 4kg that month tbh, no noticeable fat gain, but was doing a heap of running too........................

dunno mate, plenty of food guru's and experts on here. When i've given food advice or the like on here, I seem to have someone tell me i'm wrong or 'that wont work' every time.

Don't be hating on the "I know everything but have nothing to show for it" crew.

Basically agree. Depends on the individual and their goals though eg a 100+kg dude wanting to put on mass with a +training volume is most likely going to have to skew towards more cheat type foods just to get in the required cals. Good example is that nrl guy.
Most people will have to eat predominantly clean foods to hit macros though unless they like to be hungry all the time.

exactly. When i told a few friends (not sporty, but gym going people) they laughed, i was shocked initially too, but as you say, with all the training they do, he probably needed to up the calorie intake otherwise he'd shrink to nothing. Especially in the pre-season where they were doing some ridiculous sessions in the full heat. (He was at the bulldogs, then the now defunct Perth Western Reds, before they went under).

Think he is talking low carb diet.Hmm what, don't quite get that one. Are the knobs saying the sequence of macros eaten matters?
And another side of your question, yes there is the whole don't mix carbs and fats in meals together
