no, this is not like the $10,000 martini or the $1,000 pizza. it's just a $50 container of peanut butter.
because my huband and daughter have been going through unfathomable amounts of peanut butter lately, i am forced to renew my costco membership so that i don't have to spend so damn much at the grocery store.
yes, it is true. we do not use costco for diapers, cleaning supplies, family sized lasagna or treadmills. we use costco for ranch dressing, bananas, cheese and $50 peanut butter.
how american is that.

The only reason we have our Costco membership is so we can buy our $20 Kirkland Formula and 100 count packs of Welch's Fruit Snacks.
However, we tend to also buy a lot of things we don't need, like three gallon buckets of salsa.
or a frozen pizza bigger than your oven...
Wait, how did you hear about that?!
so, um.. have you ever gone to costco on the weekends instead of going out to lunch? haha
ha i figured it out! :)
i thought about getting a costco membership now that i'm all married and domesticated...but then i figured i too would buy a lot of things that we don't need. so we are not members. maybe someday.
Lunch on weekends?
We're all about the $1.50 hotdog special.
samples baby... except most is not the vegetarian fare that i prefer, so while ky and adam get a fabulous four-course meal, i am usually stuck with energy drinks and licorice.
a veggie chip if i'm lucky.
costco pizza is freakin' good, too.
cept the pizza actually almost touches our oven door. and it doens't fit in our freezer so if we buy we must eat.
costco is cool, but you most likely won't use it until you have kids. or buy peanut butter.
i am trying not to have andy go by himself anymore. afraid he will a) come home with a plasma tv we don't need, and b) last time he went he brought home 3 huge jars of peanut butter and 3 pizzas.
okay was that the worlds longest blog comment?
for us, a trip to costco is always $100. we can't seem to change that, but since everything is about $10 each, we usually end up with:
1) organic sliced apples
2) snack-sized cheese slices
3) box of yogo's
4) hidden valley ranch dressing
5) velveeta shells & cheese 5-pack
6) idahoan mashed potatoes box
7) organic canned tomatoes
8) giant tub of daisy sour cream
9) bag o' bananas
10) kirkland's baby wipes
11-15) something totally random that we did not intend on purchasing such as dvd's, socks, potstickers, massive amounts of dishwasher tablets or a huge case of boylan's soda...
We go to Costco for the Zipfizz samples, 3 packs of organic milk, bag salad mixes, and the giant TVs.
I'm confident we've eaten more than $50 in mini pizzas, crackers, granola bar bits, energy drinks in dixie cups, and all the other goodies you get on Sundays. It's a buffet.
