Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

So do you understand the love, brenda? What am I missing?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I need to figure out if I want to reup my Costco membership. Not sure what would tip the scales for me.

Cheapest gas in town? Admittedly, that can't be the only reason; it's not worth $50.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There's a Costco near-ish to work, but not one that near to where I live. Even if I did the math to determine if driving extra to get the gas was worth it, I know I'm sufficiently lame that I won't do it.

Then again, I haven't started pumping premium yet...

The cheap gas is a compelling argument actually. As is the fresh fish, I ate a lot more of it when I was dropping by there on a regular basis. And the ginormagon bags of fresh, cook-at-home tortillas. And the booze.

sigh. Look at that list. My life is just one big trip to the grocery store, isn't it?

Oo, did I mention the beauty store near my house that now carries Zoya? So excited!

God, I love Shazam. I'm so out of touch with current releases, and I can just point my phone at the Act of Valor trailer and find out Eminem is still releasing stuff I like. Great for the old folks.

What made me think that the "do math" option on my alarm was a good idea? I was up an hour before it went off, and the addition was still irritating to make it shut up.

I go to Costco once a week or so, and not even the Burbank one, the Northridge one that is 25 miles away. I drove there from El Segundo during rush hour Thursday. I go there more frequently than the Ralphs that is 20 feet away. Incidentally, Consumer Reports rated it best among chains in this month's issue.

I don't have the storage or regular cooking habits to be able to take advantage of their grocery store. I'm pretty much stocked up fine with alcohol. I really shouldn't buy any more electronics of any sort. I don't like their clothes. So that leaves pretty much: gas, kitchen/bathroom supplies, and pharmacy.

How long would it take me to save $50 in just those parts of the store? I know full well the temptation of Costco to make me spend more than I would otherwise.
