Costco is evil. Even when you go in holding a list of only TWO items, you somehow still always end up coming out with 30 rolls of toilet paper you don't need and a weedwacker. ;)
And I'm convinced that signing up for membership there involves them surreptitiously inserting a chip into a head that programs you to say, "Hey, let's go to Costco!" whenever you're bored. Heee.

Yep yep yep! :P

That's it! You've figured it out! It's a chip...and free samples.
Mmm...they're so good! Chopped up a couple and mixed them with some tuna (also ended up buying a 150 pack of tuna - okay, so maybe it wasn't *150*) to make some tuna salad. You don't even need mayo. And then put it on some yummy wheat bread (got at Costco). Mmm...
Boy, for a minute I read that as "it's possible to get out of Costco for under $100". Naturally, I had to re-read it as I *knew* that couldn't possibly be a true statement! At least, I don't think *I* ever have. Costco is evil. Really. It's just that it *seems* like a good idea when you throw it in the cart. Truly it does. And then you get home and you look at it and say, "What was I *thinking*???" I think they use some kind of subliminal something when you're in the store...

Yes! I came home with a case of these supposedly "Japanese" rice ice cream balls once. Why?! They weren't good. For some reason the samples taste *way* better in the store. And yesterday I was actually looking at their Hawaiian print muumuu-type sundresses. I have never worn this type of dress in my life! EVIL!
It's the same with BJ's - don't have a Costco anywhere near me. Of course, I've never bought a 65oz jar of artichoke hearts in BJ's. Many other things, but never that ...
It's all basically the same thing. Sam's Club is owned by Walmart, Costco and BJ's are both publicly traded, with BJ's being the biggest wholesale store on the East Coast.

Wow. How long does 65oz of artichoke hearts last a person?
no subject
I have no idea - I guess I'll find out. The problem is I like just eating them plain so maybe not long at all.

We don't have any BJ's (never even heard of that) but we do have Sam's Club - which I've never been to.
