You do know that you got us hooked on Costco- don't you????? My reasons?

-I can get Skippy, any size!
-I can get Chocolate chips bigger than 4 oz!
-I can get Fruit snacks
-I can get Beef hotdogs (we don't eat pork!)
-I can get Platex sippy cups (rather that the rubbish leaky ones they sell here)
-I can get oreos!!!
-The only place that makes a sheet cake.
-Ditto cheap dinner out
-Ditto free samples

We have to drive 45 minutes to get there but it is totally worth it for a taste of home!

Ok- the only thing worse than you being able to list 100 things from Costco- is that I sat and read them all :)
Love you all :)

Love your 100 post! It makes me wonder if it doubles as your shopping list for your next trip to the beloved store. :)

**we are back home and settled ok for the most part. School is canceled for the week (I'm praying and hoping it will reopen on Monday!). The air gets better each day, but the ash was bad and I've had to vacuum the window sills and doorways where it has come through the cracks in amazing amounts. The Lord was gracious to us as our home and neighborhood was spared. The fire came with in 2 miles of us. I am praying and hoping there is a way for us to reach out and help those around us that were effected by the fires. Thanks for asking and thinking of us.

Very funny list - and it makes me wish we had Costco out here. BJ's and Sam's are OK, but just not the same!! :)

i want to know why you buy a 5 lb bag of chocolate chips and also chocolate chip cookie dough, chocoalte chip muffins and granola bars too? What is it that you do with chocolate chips? Or do I want to know?!!!!

Ivymamma said...

Well, I'm glad to know others of you appreciate Costco as well. I could not let Shannon's questioning of my chocolate purchases go unanswered.

The granola bars are completely separate - they are healthy kid snack.

The muffins are breakfast. Half a muffin and a piece of fruit is a standard school morning breakfast.

The 5lb. bag of chips are for making cookies or banana bread or for a chocolate fix when there is no other in the house.

The cookie dough...that's to keep Carrie happy. Always keep your Carrie happy! Then she does wonderful things for you, like clean your kitchen or take your kids to the pumpkin patch! Thanks Carrie! Enjoy the cookie dough!
