Thanks to all of you here on TUG we finally joined Costco back in November. I am blaming all of you for my husband's love of all things Costco. His brother and SIL from Erie/Edinboro, Pennsylvania stayed with us for a couple of days earlier this week and one of the highlights of their stay was a trip to Costco. The closest Costco is over an hour away from them and they had never been to one before but have friends who rave about Costco so were excited to go. My BIL had read that Costco's vodka is either as good or better than Grey Goose Vodka or is made by Grey Goose. I don't remember which it is as vodka isn't something we know about or buy. My BIL was so excited with his twenty something dollar bottle of vodka as he would pay over twice that for Grey Goose at home. They also bought several other food items they had tried at our house. My SIL and I had a good time following them around the store and laughing at them.
Today my husband bought himself a pair of these shoes for $22.95. When he got back from his Costco run and showed them to me I suggested he immediately put them on even before he went back out to finish bringing the rest of the stuff in. If after wearing them for a while he liked them he should go back and buy another pair. He is hard on shoes so they definitely won't sit in his closet never to be worn. He has a pair of memory foam Skechers he really likes that we bought him at at either TJ Maxx, Marshalls or Burlington. He has been wanting another pair but not at the price they are when you can't find them at one of the discount stores. So he came home from his second trip to Costco in the same day with two more pairs; another black pair and a navy pair. He may give our son the second black pair but he may decide to keep them for himself.
You may or may not be wondering why my husband is the one going to Costco and doing the shopping. I try to avoid going as much as possible to avoid the temptation of buying a 75" TV. There is not a thing wrong with our 8 year old 60" but I want that bigger screen so bad and my husband is absolutely no help whatsoever. He says if you want it, get it. In spite of him being an enabler I've managed to stay strong and not give in to temptation by staying the heck out of Costco as much as possible.
While I'm making fun of him I have to add that on his second trip he also came home with one of their pizzas that we had read was supposed to be very good. I'm happy to report that it is very good!
