The Costco Run
We went in for one thing. We left with more.
We don’t have a Costco where we live. There’s one being built right now, but it will not open until Spring 2026.
This means when we come down to PA to visit family, one of the things we do is a Costco run.
This time we went in because I could use a nicer looking sweater and I wanted to look a the electronics to see what was on sale and also to see what a 100 inch TV really looked like. spoiler alert: It’s HUGE.
I’m happy to report that I came out with the sweater. I’m unhappy to report that we also came out of Costco with another $200 worth of stuff. And it’s not even good stuff. No food, no pac-man gaming table or book or toy of any sort
What did we come with? Essentials. Stuff like olive oil, and a few dog bones and when the heck did 2 rolls of aluminum foil start to cost over $25.00? I know things are more expensive now, but holy smokes.
We did not come home with any cookies or cakes or sweets or chips or any impulse purchases of the like. We also left the $10,000 massage chair there as well. Who goes to Costco and in addition to the family pack of Cheerios says to themselves: I might as well just get this overpriced massage chair while I’m at it.
Not us. We get the bare essentials and and get the heck out of Dodge before we spend any more money.
BW bought some shampoo and that’s about as bougie as our time at Costco got.
I offered to buy BW a hot dog seeing as this is as close to a date as it gets where it’s just the two of us alone in the same room without the child but she declined my offer.
I think she’s holding out for a better date night than a Costco hot dog. She’s probably expecting candles and wine and flowers for a real date like “back in the day”
And I know just where I can get the flowers:
Costco, of course. But she will have to wait until the Spring.
Keeping the economy going,
TH and Co.
