..... Costco today but I have to. It seems like we've run out of just about everything at the same time so it's not going to be a cheap trip especially when we get to the meat isle. Then there's this watch I've had my eye one for a while... and I need a new pillow, I want a bicycle they have, I need ink for my printers and the list goes on. To be on the safe side I've taken a vow that if it belongs in the stomach I'll buy it and if it don't it stays in the store except for the ink. That's pretty important because I can't print without it. I don't really need that watch... or do I? ( I have a watch fetish ) :D

Anyone else afraid of Costco?

Terrified.

It's a $500 trip anytime I go. So I don't go.

I'm thinking it will be at least that because our standup freezer is empty and the beef around here isn't ready to be put in to it yet. I need my meat to keep me going.

The other perk of Costco is gas is 6 cents cheaper there yesterday for me...

Gas at our Costco is usually 4 cents cheaper and considering it takes me 1/2 hour to get there I don't bother with it unless I'm going anyway.

I do want to price out the Michelin tires today though. I'm thinking my car would be much happier with a set of those. :thumbup


*** if I was of the praying type I would be pouring the coals on right about now. I'm gunna need all the help I can get ***

That's given me an idea.

Most people can't stick to a list when they go there so I should start a Costco buyer service. A person gives me a list, I go get it and deliver it to their door. No extras... just the items on the list. Kinda like a dial-a-bottle service. Think of the money they could save.

We only have one Costco with a gas bar and it's 20 min north of where I live.. but I had to get Jim's coffee and I was going to the big mall...and my car empty light was on I have never let a car get that low in gas in my life.. if my dad were still here he would be yelling at me..

You are doing your bank account a favour not going...

That is a fact.

I'm proud of myself. I came home with only the items on the list except they didn't have my coffee for some strange reason. I will not divulge what I spent though. Tonight we are going to the regular store which can be as bad as Costco. I hate spending money of food. You can't play with it... Mrs.Guyzerr gets cranky when I hang on to a pissgetty noodle and pull it back up. :24:
 
Costco is dangerous but oh so fun! My debit card shudders when I go down the electronics, school supply, or kitchenware aisles ever since I found out prices that end with a 7 are clearanced. I have gotten tons of stuff marked down there.
