I'm making my Saturday morning trip to Costco. All your shopping lists

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

are belong to us.

What should we get today?

[Lauri16]

1. Ding Dongs

For some reason I really want one of those today......

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

6. Mmmmm. Ding Dongs....

Nope, I'm going all out for one of their torts!

[Lauri16]

10. Oooooooooo

that sounds even better! :)

[Midlodemocrat]

2. If I were you, I would wait a while.

Saturday mornings at Costco are awful. I went yesterday. $300 poorer, but lots of food in the house to feed the scavengers that live here.

[Maddy McCall]

7. LOL "scavengers"

So, did you buy any eggs?

;-)

[Midlodemocrat]

8. LOL.

Actually, I did. 36 of them. My husband, son, daughters and father-in-law love eggs. Me, I am the odd man out, as usual.

I'll tell you, if it weren't for Costco, I would be in the poorhouse with the amount of food these people consume. It is unreal.

[Maddy McCall]

11. We don't have one here.

Dammit! I wish we did. Maybe one will move somewhere close soon.

:hi:

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

9. But, I can have brunch! All the good samples! Hope they have

shrimp again today!

(It's too easy to spend too much there)

[Midlodemocrat]

12. Yesterday they were sampling the crab cakes.

OMG, they are so good. I had to buy some because I was getting embarrassed that I was going back to the sampler lady so much.

Our Costco has a seafood roadshow this weekend. The stuff looked awesome, but there was too long of a line.

I just got the usual stuff, you know, wine, wine, more wine, bread, laundry detergent, blah, blah, blah.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

16. Thanks! Must have Shiraz!

& TP

[Mrs_Beastman]

3. It's a short list weekend

floss
crystal light
sponges
milk


Can't think of anything else we need....I'm sure Costco will have some good samples to tempt us!

[BlondieK143]

4. toilet paper

you can never have enough of that stuff! :D

[fluffernutter]

5. Costco makes their own granola now

it is so damn good - i'll take some of that,
and a big bottle of Yellow Tail Shiraz,
a thing of assorted muffins,
a big box of otter pops,
French roast whole bean coffee,
yogurt, OJ, milk and bread.

thanks! :)

[wryter2000]

14. Oh no!

Their own granola? I'll probably buy 20 pounds! I'm a dead woman.

[wryter2000]

13. Depends

Different Costcos carry different merchandise. But here's what I tend to buy in San Leandro.

Butter is an excellent buy
Monterey Pasta Company burritos -- yum
The Columbia Crest Merlot -- this is an extremely iffy winery, but the Merlot is really rather good and $4.99 a bottle
Steaks -- yum
the subprimal beef rib in a bag. I cut it into roasts, wrap, and freeze -- double yum

[wryter2000]

15. Also

Two 24 pound bags of charcoal wrapped together. It was really cheap. I don't remember the exact price.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

17. You buy Depends at Costco?

[wryter2000]

26. hahaha

You a funny man. :)

[lady lib]

18. A bouquet of flowers,

a couple of bottles of wine, pack of croissants, coffee, fruit, veggies, and those precooked ribs - this is going on your card, right? Hehe.

[saltpoint]

19. Hey, thanks for this offer, TYJ. Would you please bring me back --

-- a U.N. Ambassador nominee who doesn't hate the U.N.?

I've really been hankering for one of those.

[magnolia]

23. Get one of those...

...eight-packs of UN nomininees. Maybe there will be one that won't make our country look worse than it already does.

[saltpoint]

25. : )

:thumbsup:

[philosophie_en_rose]

20. Send an air conditioner!

and a pack of croissants.

[Southsideirish]

21. In ground swimming pool, please.

[Scout1071]

22. Borsin cheese. That stuff is like crack. Once you start...you can't stop

Also recommend their potstickers.

Wish I could go with you!

[Parrcrow]

24. A 50 gallon drum of Chef-Boy-R-Dee Ravioli

and 70,000 spoons

[LizW]

27. Wine, spinach dip, fresh flowers, paperback books n/t

[supernova]

28. DVDs. I want Buffy Seasons 1-5, please.

:D

And bring home some of those stuffed skirt steaks to put on the grill.

[fortyfeetunder]

29. The same ol mundane stuff

Today I have to get some food storage containers for someone who just had surgery.

But my Costco trips are cyclic, I check to see what's running low and then go fetch. Today it's dishwashing detergent, paper towels (my kids go thru them), a couple of pillows, window cleaner, and dinner for the weekend.
