I know, I was there just yesterday and looking at some things I might actually take to my friends to cover for bringing my son’s vegetarian fiancé. I did get my wife flowers for like $17 (yellow roses with red tips, her favorite) that cost $150~ from the florist. They don’t come with a vase, but I could sell them vases! And Costco’s flowers last MUCH longer than the expensive ones! . Edited February 2, 2020 by Augie 2

That doesn’t mean they don’t have some good stuff. Last thing I will say else it will hijack this thread. But they don't have anything unique which you can't get in other non-membership stores. And I have a fundamental issue with buying in bulk to save a few cents

Examples - microwaveable chicken wings, bakeable Cajun catfish. Trader Joe’s has oddly fantastic frozen stuff. Since kids the whole Super Bowl party thing has fallen off a cliff for us. Since that time we left at half for bedtime, we just said, ‘maybe in 5 or 10 years.’ 3 1

Examples - microwaveable chicken wings, bakeable Cajun catfish.? I've picked up some quite good frozen stuff at Costco. Also some not so decent. Sometimes there are reviews that help. They have great cheese and honey-smoked salmon and some of their dips are good. Their mozzerella cheese sticks are passable if you throw out the sauce and replace with your own marinara 22 minutes ago, Fan in Chicago said: Last thing I will say else it will hijack this thread.

I spend so much money every time I go, but the employees are so nice I always leave happy. Not that it’s expensive, I just buy everything I see.

Feb 3 sounded so far away when I accepted that appointment option... so bad Terrible timing. I am sure you have been told but these prep really is the worst part. The actual procedure is not a big deal. You have the added bonus of being able to see your own colon after the procedure ? Good luck and hope it all is clear
