The food is meh and way too much. But the gas is always at least a dime a gallon cheaper. I save at least two bucks on every fill-up. Yahoo!

But I like reading about your Safeway experiences. Except for Creepy Bran Obsessed Dude. He scares me.

You just reminded me that my Costco membership expired. I need to renew it so I can get my ingrown toenail fixed and then head for that machine in the back for elite members….

Certain (cheap) people we both used to work with kept expired Costco cards around just to walk through and ogle the merchandise after enjoying THE BEST PIZZA IN THE WORLD FOR ONLY $3.75!!!! Actually, it was some lesser amount that they knew by heart and always went with exact change.

Bet you’ll never guess who I’m yammering on about.

Janet, there's one eight miles from you. Time to load up on some Minute Maid.

What you really need to try is the couscous at the Cuzco Costco.

I’d be interested to know who this blog post is aimed at.

No one in particular – I just throw them out there and see who bits.

Actually, it’s aimed at everyone I know who shops at Costco, which is quite a few people.

I’d be interested to know who this blog post is aimed at. I hated Costco so much that I let our membership lapse. The reason it’s so cheap is that they hire two check-out clerks and you have to wait in line for 45 minutes to buy anything. And I tried going at ALL HOURS of the day so don’t tell me it’s deserted on Tuesday afternoons at 4:30 PM, because it isn’t. Phooey. Plus they only carry 1 brand of everything, so if you’d rather have, say, Tropicana orange juice than Minute Maid you’re S.O.L.
