Costco, what a great place. I know people joke about huge vats of olive oil and gallon jugs of ketchup, but it is a great place to find bulk items for a good deal. I go there mostly for diaper and wipes for my babies, but also for toilet paper, frozen food and fruit. My husband couldn’t care less about the k deals. He goes for one reason, free samples. We are only allowed to go on weekends and only after 11 am when they start serving free samples of their food. If you read our Sweet Tomatoes adventure then you can guess how this turns out. He goes into his ‘hunter/gatherer’ mode trying to get all the free samples he can. He’ll go back 2,3, or even 4 times to the same one to get more. If he really likes it, he’ll send me to get more. Of course, sometimes the sample booths run out while they are cooking more, which makes him crazy. He circles the booth likes he’s stalking prey until they put out more, and then he has no problem stepping over a small child or nudging an old lady to get the first hot sample. He always leaves Cosco with a full belly and a big smile.
