I have my list and my costco card ready to go as we walk into the giant warehouse full of wonderful things. With me is my husband, my mom and my cousin Alex.

ReplyDeleteOh, Costco! This is why my husband insists on going without me. Hilarious line: "Before I knew it the cart was full and we hadn't even checked anything off the list besides dryer sheets." Been there, done that.
ReplyDeleteCostco just opened a store about an hour away from me in the fall and I am looking forward to actually checking the warehouse out. I have heard good things about them.
ReplyDeletelol Happens every time! Good thing you had enough people to push all the carts. Great Slice!
