Costco problems

Does anyone else go to Costco weekly? I am thinking we may need to start a help group because we have become Costco addicts. It started as a cheap date . . . food and shopping! . . . and we would always get a few things in our cart, hit each sample booth twice (Jason goes once and gets two while I covertly hide around the corner, then it is my turn - this has only backfired once, and I literally got my hand slapped by the old lady sample hander-outer - but that's another story), then head to the front only to be put out by the long lines and go put our stuff back saying "we'll get it next time" So, you can see we used to SAVE money at Costco. Hah! No more! Now we are weekly card carrying holders of the spend a lot for not much club. This is an example of our situation: We are driving towards Turlock, Black says, "Going get samples?" or we randomly say the word Costco in our house and Blake heads for the door, "Okay, I go get samples." I think it can be surmised that we pretty much just need to get a life, but what other place is loud enough to take 3 kids?

  1. It is way too cold for parks right now. I think Costco is the next best thing :)

    I might have to try out your sample trick the next time we go. I always want a second one but am too scared to just take it. With Eric's help I can get double now!
