The Costco Shopping Blues
The Costco shopping blues
SMH They got me again. It’s amazing how much of a money pit this warehouse wholesale, food mecca trap can be. Bargain bulk shopping my black ass! Costco a place where the words,
“that looks good, let me get that too“
should not be said. All I really wanted was a damn Green Machine Naked smoothie. Maybe some Salmon Burgers. Possibly the Mahi Mahi burgers (which my closest Costco no longer seem to stock), and those damn things are great. Even some smoothie mix frozen fruit. But that was it, that’s all I wanted! Actually maybe a rotisserie chicken! Damn that place to food hell! So much for trying to save $4 by not buying the Naked smoothie in Kroger or Wal-Mart. #sigh
By the evidence above, clearly, I was not able to avoid the trap of the “bargains” in every isle of this retail succubus. Luckily I just escaped with a small box of things. Usually, I fill the shopping cart and then cuss in my mind when the total adds up at checkout and it adds up quickly. It is ridiculous how all those $9.99 here $10 there $12.99 elsewhere calculate.
The only positive thing I can say about Costco, I once bought their brand of bulk toilet tissue, which lasted about 18 months. Clearly, I was a single man as women seem to go through toilet paper like sand through fingers at the beach.
