I'm thinking of going to Costco this week. What should I buy?
Usually, I get paper goods, DVD's, CD's, liquor, cigarettes, coffee, avocados, tomatoes, and snacks. (My dog loves "Beggin Strips".)

What else should I look for? After all, there's lots to be had!

Any suggestions?

:D

9. I live in California. But, you can check for a store near you.
Or, you can shop online!

They are a terrific company. They support Dems big time. And, they treat their employees with dignity and respect.

Costco is union-friendly, so if there was a Costco in my area I'd shop there.

8. Make sure you have the space to store what you buy!
My wife shops there. We joke about fitting a pallet of muffins into the fridge.

They sell in huge quantities only.

A great place.

16. A few years ago, my partner and I were asked if we were Mormons.
Our contractor saw our "stash" in the basement and asked us out loud if we were Mormons?

LOL!

22. Did you hear about that Tindindi wine?
I was listening to the story on NPR a few days ago. It's an Australian wine Costco is selling (it goes for 17.99 for 3 liter box). Apparently it's good wine.
