Costco: a cell phone documentary

$100 to anyone who can find a dry cart.
So is life in the NW.
My shopping buddies:
Aren't they delicious? I love them.
I have said it before: I am the QUEEN of samples.
I am amazing at sample-lady-small-talk. Like, they love me, they OFFER me a second sample.
I should teach classes.
My smallest shopping buddy prefers to walk rather than be in the cart. Shopping with both parents is waaaaaayyyyy better.
What I wanted to buy but didn't: Izze, and an obnoxiously large chocolate cake.

She kept trying to push other people's carts, we were able to convince her to stick with ours. She was pretty good at it.
My Dad calls Costco "the $200 store". This picture is to prove him wrong. It can be done Dad!
Thumbs up for Costco. One of my 'happy places'.

So I am totally loving the chocolate dipped ice cream bars with the nuts on them. They just started to sell them at our costco-so amazing and enormous, I had already eaten a hotdog and the ice cream put me over the edge!
I have been known to go to costco on a date night~free dinner!

So what did you buy??!!

My guess is you're having another little girl since EVERYONE is having boys and someone has to be the one to break the streak!

I love the sample picture. I can just imagine seeing someone at a costco taking a picture of themselves taking a free sample. That would be funny! I am totally a lover of free samples! I need your tricks for getting offers for seconds! My dad used to take me to Costco every Saturday after my soccer games for a lunch of free samples!
