Like a lot of people in Southern California, the hub and I frequent Costco several times a year. I remember moving here and Jeff Daly asking me if I had my Costco Card. Why? I said. I live alone. Why do I have to buy in bulk? Well, I might not have had the need to buy in bulk before but I sure do now that I have a house and a dog who requires lots of chicken treats. The hub and I try and keep the visit to once a month because frankly who can visit that place not spend at least a Benjamin? It's a very rare trip where we spend less than $100 dollars. I did hear on FaceBook that Jerome and Ryan were able to go the other day and only spend $14. But surely, that must have been some kind of freak of nature visit or the place was too crowded to go into any isles because getting out of Costco for $14 buckaroos is a rarity. I love going to see what is new. I will walk up and down almost all isles to find the unique new thing that I need. Okay, not need, mostly want. This trip was awesome. I found an outdoor table and a hammock I wanted badly. Too bad we only had the Insight with us that day or surely we'd be down 10 Benjamin's. Instead of a table and hammock we settled on the less expensive side and bought a solar light post lantern for $29 bucks. A cool deal for a nice looking light we thought. So into the cart the lantern went. We experienced that euphoria a few other times and found ourselves with two new brown couch pilows for $14 bucks, a new front door rug and a bottle of 365 allergy tablets. Let's jsut hope the Kirkland brand of allergy medicine is exactly the same as Zyrtec for extremely less. I read the ingredients and the Zyrtec bottle of 100 tablets and the Kirkland Brand had the same active ingredients. The only difference seemed to be that one bottle had 365 pills and the other 100. The cheap, Reasner in me went for the lesser brand. But only because it appeared to be the same thing. The Buller, as in my husband told me to buy what I knew to work. I went for cheap,I guess we will see.
Of course there is the old standby shopping list that includes: shampoo, scrubby spunges, bread, the obligatory toilet paper bundle for $15, avacadoes (cuz the ones at Fresh n Easy are small), garlic (cuz, we finally used the last one in the huge bag Toby brought us), lunch meat, crossaints, the big yummy muffins, water filters, laundry detergent, dishwasher soap, a pack of 4 stuffed animals for Moses (cuz he can never have enough stuffed animals with squeakers), Wagon Train Chicken treats, a bucket of salsd (in our quest to be healthy), batteries, ziplock bags, stamps, and movie tickets.
PS we also stopped at the food stand for a slice of pizza (cuz you have to really), a soda and a smoothie.
So what sets you back some Benjamin's when you go to Costco? I want to know.
