Ode to Costco!!

What can anyone say about Costco other than great things? Where else can you get your prescriptions filled while you wait for tires to be mounted to your car and your Christmas cards are printing at the one-hour photo counter? Or, where else can you spend $200 in less than 30 minutes and only have 5 boxes of stuff in your cart?

Really, I love Costco but sometimes I just don't have the space to store the wholesale price items I need. For example, I would love to stock up on chicken and other fresh meats but I don't have a freezer to store it all (yet). And I would like to buy a large supply of paper products but I can store toilet paper or paper towels anywhere. I would be out my ears in paper! (Sounds like my work actually).

But it is nice to go there and get great deals on stuff when you do have the space and the time to get it all stored away. Their cakes are AWESOME and are a lot of fun to have at a large party. Costco is the place to get your necessary office break room supply items. Their pizza is a great deal when trying to feed a large crowd, as long as you can get a phone call into their deli to order them!

Costco - definitely an American idea that has helped me to live and survive in the crappy economy. Let us all praise the Costco!!!
