Costco Lovers!

Haha, that's funny you mentioned that JJ.  I went to Costco yesterday with the intention ONLY to buy milk, mayo and bread.  The total came out to $120.  What an expensive 4L milk!

I went today to buy water, soy milk and bread.
 I also walked out with a World War fact book for Heckyl, an Indiana Jones activity pack for Jeckyl, and a pack of 48 condoms.

48 condoms for the camping trip?

lol.  You just never know, so it's best to be prepared!!!

It CAN be tempting.  But it's just like anything else where spending money is concerned.  You just have to stay focused.  Fortunately for me, Costco is in Nanaimo....and I avoid going to Nanaimo like the plague.  So trips to Costco are a planned excursion which removes some of the impulse factor.  

  And not everything is cheaper there.....you have to know your prices.  For example, our brand of coffee is more expensive there.  Also, I have been on the prowl for some Shinto stools for a good price.....which Costco finally just got in....and THEY'RE almost twice the price as other places.

  Right now, I'm waiting for these particular sheets they had last year, to come back.  They are the ONLY sheets I will ever buy again.  They have had them all year for purchase on-line....but they are twice the price as they were in the store.  

  If you have to, wear blinders.

GRRR I must admit that their sale policy (with their club membership, no credit card and "hey loser, get kids now or become a fatso" policies do annoys me...


I'm not sure what that means.

Well it means that they direct you more than you're in control of what you buy. They charge you more for the same stuff on line than in person, you have to become a member and pay 55 $ to buy there, they don't accept credit card (hellllo ?) and they force you to eat like a pig or get kids otherwise you lose food. I say it's a populist plot to make us consume more more more !  

  lol.

  The fact is, the only person in control of what you buy or how much you eat or waste, is yourself.  

Stuff that costs more on-line......hmmm.....can't think of a good come-back for that one.  Except maybe that you save on gas ?

I think they do accept credit cards....but only American Express (not sure on this one)....but they do accept credit card payment for on-line shopping.  [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/frech/h030.gif[/img]

Well, you know, I wondered at the time, if the sheets were mispriced.  They were the Life Comfort (?) sheets at $28.00 for Queen.  At the same time, they were at Stupid Store for $79.00

  On-line, they are $56.

  I just noticed this on their site as well, but not sure how to interpret it.
