Oh! Costco, How I Love Thee, Let Me Count The Ways. . .

1. Snacks to keep the baby busy and our tummies happy while shopping.



2. The Best Customer Service



3. Hot Dog and a Drink - $1.50



4. Gigantor Pizza for under $10



5. 2% Back on ALL my purchases



6. CHEAP Prescriptions



7. Huge containers of Sour Cream



8. AWESOME baby back ribs (well, after Tim cooks them.)



9. Inexpensive car and home insurance



10. Return ANYTHING at ANY TIME!



11. Muffins and orange juice in the morning.


12. The NiCeSt door greeter EVER! - well, at the Winston Salem, NC Costco.


13. The ability to buy a kayak and a watermelon all at the same time.


14. Rose for me and a giant cookie for McKenna just for walking in the door.

(This really did happen. I had to go shopping at Walmart so of course, I stopped to get the babe a cookie to keep her quiet while I shopped. BUT, I was told they have "discontinued" their free cookies at the bakery for the kids - a stinkin' sugar cookie, they couldn't hand out to keep kids happy. So, after listening to McKenna crying as we walked away from the counter - she has grown accustomed to that cookie - we quickly shopped and left. We headed to Costco where I was greeted by the hearing aid guy at the door who handed me this beautiful rose and then took a few more steps in where they had GIANT cookies waiting just for McKenna. I will always love you, Costco.

I think Costco needs to pay you for such great "press"--a new position as ad manager maybe.

I'm just glad you live where you can go to Costco now, so that I can speak freely about my trips there without being accused of gloating.

hee hee I *heart* costco too! It makes me so happy to be able to buy a huge bunch of bananas for cheap, have a huge surplus of awesome toilet paper, love their window cleaner spray and use it on everything, the biggest cheapest bag of pretzels for the kiddos to snack on, and I also love to get the polish sausage on the way out!! One thing I miss is the Tucson outdoor eating area. We don't have that here :(

tell Timbo we have also discovered the BBQ seeds and love them too!
