We finally have a COSTCO!

Yeah, I know. The rest of the word already has Costco and Ikea and all kinds of rad stuff. Well, on the one street here that has every retail/dining chain finally has Costco added to the mix, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Once we finally got our cards and into the store I exclaimed, “Holy $##@!” when I saw the ton of Nintendo Wii systems they had for sale.

Damn, Costco. We hadn’t even been in the store 30 seconds and we already bought a new gaming console.

After roaming around the store, placing random items in the cart we came across good ol’ Tillamook cheese! The delicious dairy product from our homeland. Oh man, I kinda want some Tillamook cheese right now as I write this…hold on…..okay, I’m back with some yummy cheddar.

Where was I? Oh yeah, random items.
Here’s the breakdown of stuff we threw in the cart:

Nintendo Wii
Bag of advocados
Giant pack of beef jerky
Tillamook Cheese
Aleve (giant bottle)

Oh yeah, and we upgraded our HDTV and got a bigger, much more badass unit for the living room.

We’ve been saving up for a while and decided that we needed another flat panel screen someday - we just happened to get one yesterday (for six hundred dollars less than Best buy) when we were out shopping. That kind of stuff happens when you go shopping at Costco, you know.

    OMIGOD! Greenville got a frigging COSTCO!?!?! Awesome. Stiles and I go every weekend to fill up on our 50 gallon vat of mayo. But the real reason is to get the $1.50 Hebrew National hot dog and 20 oz drink in the Costco cafe. HOT.

    I live less than a mile from our Costco. Mmmmmm…gigantic quantities of items I don’t need…

    But I have to drive, like, three miles to get to a Kroger. Grrr.

    congrats ! but you will soon find that a membership makes more
    sense if you have a few little robots …..
    if you are single or just the two of you, you will find it hard to
    eat 300 gallons of ice cream or 80 pounds of potatoes
    can you say bulk, bulk, bulk

    the photo labs are great and cheap
    also, the electronics and computer return policy are awesome

    Hey, what came with the Wii? Costco usually hooks you up with extra stuff like controllers or games. Was there anything other than the console and how much was it? Talk to me goose.

    The Costco Wii came with another controller and the new Mario game. But it was around the same price that it’d be if you just went and bought them all yourself.
