Actually the real reason we did it was so we could build our food storage a little bit. And we went through the store very carefully and priced out what was cheaper there and what's cheaper at the grocery store (suprisingly, not everything is cheaper in bulk). Also, we like that you can't use a credit card (at least a visa)-- using cash or debit makes sure we really don't spend more than we planned.
So we went on our first Food Storage shopping trip and I'm a little proud of the closet we've started to stack up. Sometimes I open it and just smile. You know. Bein prepared and all. Leaves you feeling all warm and fuzzy.
P.S. That little fire extinguisher on the wall? Yeah, it's been there since 1971. Please pray our house doesn't start on fire any time soon....
Oh goodness. You gave in! I hear you end up spending MORE money because of all the deals you think you are getting. Watch out girl. :)
ReplyDeleteI love Costco! Unfortunately you can use AMEX there, so we've spent more than we should there for sure. It's my mom's favorite place to shop too, so I guess that's where I get it. Love the organizational beauty of your storage closet too. A little worried if there is a fire, but at least you're organized, right?! ;)
ReplyDeleteI call Costco: $200 exit fee....because I can't get out of there for less than $200.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the club! We don't use our Costco membership much, but we are grateful we have one when we have to host a big event and can get sheet cake cheap! And it is great for the 90 food supply! Way to obey!
ReplyDeleteYeah for Costco! The best was when we lived in Wymount and would get a new bulk package of toilet paper. We would have to cram rolls in every empty space we had. When we moved we found rolls that we had forgotten about. It was great.
