We went to Costco

Hubs had a very generous client come in to work and gift everyone in the office a $50 gift card to Costco around the holidays. As you all know, we canned Costco a few months back because we were able to save so much $$$ just shopping at Aldi...

But apparently, you can use Costco gift cards without a membership and without a price penalty! So we decided to check it out and see what we were missing out on and pick up a few things for free.

Every other year we buy a ton of zip-locks for our pantry and we needed of a new broom for the kitchen... and we figured if worst came to worse, we get some movie tickets so off we went.

Oh Man... Did I forget how busy Costco can be...

The crowds....

The anxiety of being in the crowds...

The bulk....

It's safe to say we don't miss it... and we didn't really get sucked into the products... So we bought quart and gallon freezer ziplocks, found a broom 2 pack, grabbed a bag of Jerky for hubs and checked out... We even had enough cash on the gift card to grab some hot dogs at the food court for lunch.

Man i'm glad to be Costco Free -- Hubs was seriously stressed from the crowds just by going into the store, lol.
