I used to go to Costco back when we lived in IL, 3+ years ago. Once we moved to Florida I was so excited they had BJ's so I joined that. Now I am thinking of switching back to Costco when we move to NH. I remember that I like the meat from Costco better than BJ's I think.
Am I the only person who spends a billion dollars every time they go in there?I did a big shop today and I have to tell you that I could literally have bought even more. I just love shopping there! Anyone else?

I must have better impulse control than I thought because we've never walked out of there with over $200 in the cart - and that would be a rarity. Now, we DID buy furniture there but that doesn't count =)
I looooooooooove Costco. We only go if we know we can afford what we are going for and then a little extra.Our typical trip is $60-$80 and includes most of the staples we always get there.
My Mom and I have a "contest" or whatever you want to call it... We are not even sure if it is whoever spends less wins or whoever spends more... But we call each other and just say our totals... One day I called as I was leaving Costco and told her, "$997.56" She hung up on me!!!She called back and said my phone must be broken... it sounded like I said a thousand bucks! I said umm, yup...
I then had to ask her to come get me and the kids and take us home cause there was no room in the van...
I took me a week to get it all put away... It was last September and I went meat and back to school food shopping... I normally do a huge trip twice a year then just fill in monthly as needed...
Oh Honey! I spend that in the first aisle!I can't resist the supersize stuff! Of course we are a larger family so we do actually use the stuff. I will say though that I saw the largest can of corn ever there the other day and was almost tempted to buy it but I knew that there was only so much corn we could eat at one time.
I still wonder though......

I love to people watch.. Have you ever watched what others buy, and wondered what they were going to do.
Yesterday, I saw a couple w/ 12 of those big big containers of almonds. I couldn't help but wonder what the heck they were going to do with them![]()
Last time I got Mickey Mouse chicken nuggets (shaped in his ears), Pull Ups, water, strawberries, and garbage bags.
