Costco:
- Cheapest decent coffee beans
- Cheap OTC drugs like ibuprofen
- Good beef
- Best return and warranty on electronics
- Good prices on office supplies, if you can deal with the quantities
- Least guilt-inducing politics and treatment of employees
You know me! I'm like, "Go school! It's your birthday!" Or something to that effect.

Because books.
I don't think we have Costco. We do have BJ's, though, which we've been meaning to join again.
Sara lost another tooth, almost entirely through determination. She wiggled that sucker for an hour this morning until it came out. Maybe she's low on cash.

The status is NOT quo.
Jackhammers should not be allowed at 9am on a Saturday.

Yeah, why does the Migraine Inducing Lobby have so much power in America anyway?

And they are quite literally outside our bedroom window because our landlord hired the plumber to redo the vent on our gas water heater...which needs to be done and is good that it's being fixed but oh dear god too early on a Saturday.
Impressively, ND has fallen back asleep. I swear, I want that superpower.

I think the nearest Costco is a 40 minute drive, which would render any savings I'm likely to see on gas moot. If the put n the one they're talking about in the town next door I might consider it.

Jackhammers should not be allowed at 9am on a Saturday.
I think that's against the law.
Or should be.
Sounds like a felony.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I have a Costco about a mile away, but I never really used enough in the couple of years we were members to make it worth keeping up. We do leech off the in-laws for big bags of coffee and the occasional party run; it's handy to stock up periodically, but wasn't a regular enough thing for us to make up the membership cost.
(Calli, is my Costco really 40 minutes for you? Or are you thinking of another? Alternately, do I drive that fast?)

One other thing about Costco. According to the guy who wrote extra virgin the Kirkland brand of olive oil is extremely high quality, not only free of motor oil, cotton seed oil and other adulterants (sadly not true of a lot of olive oils) but doing everything else right. So another plus. Says the guy who stopped going to Costco.
