Visiting Costco

Here's a riddle: When can you visit Costco and spend no money? You got it, my blog is here for you.

The Costco we go to is in the middle of nowhere and I have managed to go two different ways and miss the turn.  Next time I'm going find the right turn.

Walking into Costco recently I had only two thoughts: Let's get the rotisserie chicken and I'm ready to head back to the car. It's not that I'm overwhelmed, I just want to go in and get a few things and get out.

After five minutes I had the same thoughts and I wasn't near the chicken.  That's when I came up with the idea of "touring" Costco which would be more fun than actually shopping.  I did help my wife out by pushing the cart and I grabbed a couple things, but here's the FREE tour:

How cool is this pillow? What size bed do you have to have to use this pillow?

This is a pop-up sauna.  How often does it pop-up? What room do you put it in for it to pop up?

It's a cute dish my wife wanted to buy so I could use it as a drainer for fruit.  She said that when I just use a normal dish the dirty water stays on the fruit. Is that really a problem?

This special aroma thing looks very good and it's only $80 because it's on sale from $100.  How many do you want for your house?

Looking for new luggage? How about some Lego luggage? It's easy to put together.

If you're looking for a laugh, how about the Laughing Cow original wedges? I didn't eat any.

This Lumpia thing, wouldn't it sound better if it was Schlumpia? What a great name!

This oversized mat fit perfectly in our cart.  It's supposed to be put at our sliding door to go out to the back. When I checked that area there is an oversized piece of carpet.  The mat is now perpendicular to the carpet. Oh wait, it has now moved! It is on top of the oversized piece of carpet and it's smaller than the carpet. Sitting on top of it is our outdoor shoes for the backyard.

Some things are funny without comments. I did not eat any.

How hard did they work on coming up with this name? Dubai style, chocolate pistachio, almond milk latte.

As a diabetic I'm supposed to watch my sugar.  How long can I watch this sugar without a note from my doctor?

I'm not that big on veggies, but if it's called "Veggies Made Great", how bad could it be? I have had some since the visit and I have to admit, they were very good.

Driving home I told my wife sitting next to me, "I was pretty excited when I was pushing the cart and my fingers were sliding against the hot chicken bag." She only heard me say "hot chick.'  Visiting Costco was a fun adventure except it wasn't free for me.
