Yes, that's right, I have a monkey on my back and it's name is Costco!

 

Please note, this is NOT an endorsement or commercial for the new Big Box retailer in Northern Ozaukee but I just had to vent a bit about how quickly I have become a convert to the warehouse super store!

 

I can't get enough!  I tour around, trying sample after sample until I couldn't possibly have another and then I buy more toilet paper than I'll ever use before settling down to a hot dog and soda ( I call it pop but that's a topic for another blog ) for 1.50 and just smile smile smile!

 

I am certain the thrill will wear off eventually but I must say I am enjoying the new shopping opportunity.

 

So are you as thrilled?

 

Maybe you hate big box stores and want to give a shout out to your favorite Mom and Pop shop - I have several of those I like too!

 
Either way, let's hear your thoughts!

I heard Costco isn't worth it unless you're buying for a big family. Is that true?

How much is the membership? (compared to Sam's)

If you're subsisting on a diet of Costco hot dogs, you will use all that toilet paper, my friend.

And sooner than you'd hoped...

Well, jjg, I guess they really are just like Sam's then.

jjg, you're hysterical!!! It's a good thing I'm alone right now, or people would be wondering why I'm laughing so hard.

Okay, I'm good now. Until I read another one of your posts jjg!

Btw, a Costco membership is $50, which I think is what Sam's charges. The difference, though, is that if you're unhappy with your membership any time during the year, you can get your membership cost back.

FOX 6 Meteorologist =========================
Rob is an AMS Certified Broadcast Meteorologist and also holds the National Weather Association Seal of Approval as well as the Endorsement of the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society. =========================
A long, long, time ago in a farmers field far, far away, Rob noticed a change in the wind and became fascinated with the weather. Why you ask? (Pause for you to say "why?") Well, it was at that moment he realized he was downwind of the manure pile on the turkey farm where he grew up! After that he watched the weather very carefully in an effort to save his sense of smell! Okay, that's not entirely true but I did grow up on a turkey farm and I have been fascinated with weather and broadcasting for quite some time. I began my career in radio before making the jump to TV. I worked on Good Morning Toronto. After that, I decided to pursue my dream of living and working in the U.S. and joined Wake Up Rochester in Rochester NY. I spent three years in "Bills Country" before coming to my senses and moving to "Packer-Town!" (GO PACK!) I also spent some time trying to make it big as a comic actor and studied the art of improvisation at Toronto's Second City Theatre with teachers like SCTV's Joe Flaherty! I moved here with my beautiful wife, Tanya, who's the real comedian in the family, my son Noah, who's giving my wife a run for the title of funniest Haswell and my daughter Nyla who is the cutest 2 feet of human being you could ever meet! We're very excited to be living in the great city of Milwaukee and we're looking forward to learning all there is to know about Wisconsin! By the way, where do you buy those cheesehead hats anyway?
