Costco

After school today, I was trying to think where might be the best place to buy a Speedo swimsuit. Then I had this epiphany: Costco.

But do you think I am a member? It made sense to me to join today. For one thing I needed a swimsuit ($20) and a pair of goggles (or three. It turns out Costco doesn't really sell things in singles). And I was thinking this might be a great deal on diapers and wipes down the road.

I opted not to use the grocery cart. No kidding: it was almost the same size as my Mini. So after I procured the swimsuit and goggles, I thought: let's see what else Costco has! It was then I found BabyBelle cheese. I probably don't need 24 of them, but it cost the same as buying 10 of them at Safeway. And of course it seemed a shame to come home without a ten pound bag of Northwest grown pears.

My trudge out to the car made me rethink the no cart idea. I found my purchases healthy and random, and I'm okay with that. I did kind of think I needed a mini-van to go with my new Costco persona.

Oh well... a dollar saved (equals about 4 baby cheeses, it turns out).
