Costco
A coworker of ours convinced us that we needed a Costco card and needed to take trips out there. We caved in and today made our way over to the closest Costco. Luckily it is just a five minute walk from the subway. We took our backpacks, stored them in a locker, and then walked around, reveling in the American-ness of it all. It was Saturday, so- free samples!We had to be careful not to spend too much at this time, but it will be good for us. We can get some American snack items that, in the long wrong, will be much cheaper than buying snacks for work at the convenience store, or even our supermarket. We also tried to buy things that will keep, such as frozen vegetables and ravioli (yay!). We found maple syrup, and cheddar cheese and some other things. They even had some Tillamook cheeses (!!!) but they weren't cheddar.
I also got to eat in the food court, which was fun.
Then came the terribly exciting part of trying to stuff all of our purchases into our two backpacks, stephanie's canvas bag, and our arms. One time my Grandma and my aunt Kathy went to Costco, stocked up on things, and got out to the parking lot, only to remember they had brought Kathy's small Corvette. My Grandma likes to tell the story about how they had to take toilet paper out of the package and stuff it in places, and my Grandma wore a Christmas wreath around her neck for the ride home.
So Grandma, and Kathy, this is what we felt like :) We stuffed it all in, carrying our box of nutri-grain bars, and milk, and made our overladen selves to the subway, to our transfer, and then to home. I even got to run to a subway train to avoid missing it, with the milk and nutri-grain box in my arms! how exciting.
If anybody would like some cheddar cheese, we have some.
