COSTCO
I grew up in a small town...and by small i mean i remember the day they opened the wal-mart, my parents and i walked there i kid you not seven times that day. Yes, there were a lot of things at Wal-Mart that we needed and forgot to get, and then needed and forgot to get...and who am I kidding we were excited that there was a wal-mart diner! ha ha. so, as i got older the idea of wal-mart was less appealing, until my family discovered Sam's Club. Oh yes, the awesome sam's club where you can buy everything in bulk. Where you can buy 7 pizza's of varying kinds when all you really want are the pepperoni ones, but it's CHEAP right? My parents would even go to wal-mart, check the prices of toilet paper, and then drive the 60 miles to Sam's club to see if it was cheaper...and if it wasn't they wouldn't buy the toilet paper, they'd drive back to wal-mart...and i wish i was lying as i tell you this but it's all so very embarassingly true. So, as if Sam's club wasn't enough now there is Costco, and of course my parents joined costco...why you may ask since they already have a membership to sam's club..and not they aren't cancelling that membership, they joined costco because sam's club stopped carrying those little tiny vanilla creamers for my dad's coffee. Lands, so the other day my boyfriend had to get contacts so we went to the dreaded costco. I tell you when it was like trying to navigate while being ambushed by grocery carts and free sample ladies. There was no leisurely walk through the isles for price check oh no, at every entrance there was a cart to dodge, little kids to jump over, and oversized adults attempting to hoard the sample lady's produce. And that's when i decided that costco is the devil.

...... wait..... you guys have a costco membership??? you've been holding out on me!
So every time I go home to visit my dad... it involves no less than 3 trips to walmart or the grocery store to pick up stupid random things.... seriously.... make a list. What's the deal? Is it that there is so little to do in Carroll that running to the Walmart is big excitement?
