guppie01 0 #1 May 20, 2009 Hey, anyone ever order/eat the Costco platter food? Having a 16th birthday party for my Step-son with all sides of the family. We are looking at about 35 people, and I'm just too damn lazy to prepare that much food. The party platters from Costco are about the most reasonable (cost wise) so I was thinking of going with those, but wanted to make sure they were palatable. Ideas / comments welcome! g"Let's do something romantic this Saturday... how bout we bust out the restraints?" Raddest Ho this side of Jersey #1 - MISS YOU OMG, is she okay?

topdocker 0 #2 May 20, 2009 We used the ones from Sam's Club for our wedding and they were great! Everyone could munch, and all we had to do was pull extra ones out of the fridge as necessary. Lots of different meats/cheeses/veggies combos to choose from. Also try checking in the frozen foods for "just defrost" appetizers, those are yummy too. topJump more, post less!

guppie01 0 #3 May 20, 2009 Thanks so much! Yeah, definitely checking out the frozen section... the frozen pot stickers are actually quite tasty! My second choice is Honey Baked Ham platters, but they are about double the price of Costcto. I do know the Honey Baked Ham quality is top notch - I've bought them before. g"Let's do something romantic this Saturday... how bout we bust out the restraints?"

JENNR8R 0 #4 May 20, 2009 Costco is my favorite store. In fact, I went there this morning for supplies for my office. I have always found their food to be very high quality, tasty, and a good value.What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy ones? -- Monday.

JohnMitchell 14 #5 May 20, 2009 Costco does a good job. Their birthday cakes are great deal for what you pay. Never bought the food platters, though. For teenagers, we just do hot dogs, burgers, lots of chips, lots of Mt. Dew. Pretty easy and very cost effective. We've done a lot of teenager birthday parties.

tigra 0 #9 May 20, 2009 We got one of their sushi platters for my niece's junior recital. (She told her parents the night before that a reception after the recital was expected.......) I didn't even get any of the sushi- the college kids swarmed the tray and devoured everything! Must have been pretty good! Their sweet trays with cookies, baklava, etc., are also very tasty! I imagine if you put in a special order, it would be even better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

guppie01 0 #12 May 20, 2009 Yeah, this party is just for the family. We are doing a separate party for the teenagers... we are taking them to the indoor go-cart track. g"Let's do something romantic this Saturday... how bout we bust out the restraints?"

Track below, no limits on the go-carts. Bar upstairs, no restrictions on drinking and driving. Fun, but incredibly dangerous once you've had a few drinks under your belt. I quit after the third race - went from 12th to 3rd place - I realized that I no longer had any fear - very scary! Oh, and I was racing in heels and a jean skirt. Damn thing kept flapping in my face. The track here is awesome. Carts go up to 50 mph, and they are electric so you don't have to deal with the fumes http://www.mb2raceway.com/thousand_oaks/home.html Can't wait! g"Let's do something romantic this Saturday... how bout we bust out the restraints?"
