A Little Love for My Dog

After eating lunch at Costco, polish sausage and a drink, I picked up dog food. The 50 pound bag of Iams large breed was $39.99.

While looking around I came across the Jerky Treats advertised in the mail piece. It is a BOGO offer, no coupon needed. This comes out to 7 pounds (2 x 3.5 lbs containers) of dog treats for $9.99. Since I tear these up into smaller pieces, this should last into next year. It's a good thing the expiration date on the treats is in 2013.

Costco's Least Controversial Product?

Who doesn't like a 53" stuffed bear? Maybe some parents when their kids are crying for one.

Portable Chairs for Summer

These Director's chairs are a different animal than the typical portable chairs. For instance, they don't spill a drink every time you get up or sit down and they will hold a plate and other items on their folding side table. This can be especially useful when dodging an errant football while tailgating.

The price is about what I've seen them for elsewhere, but I haven't directly compared the quality of the products. Usually this gives an edge to Costco.

Lunch!

I finally got a chance to stop in for lunch and browse around the store at an off time. The result is a hot dog with deli mustard, ketchup and sauerkraut. They keep sauerkraut behind the counter. I finished off with an ice cream bar dipped in chocolate and almonds. 1200 calories later, I'm done with lunch.

Happy 4th of July America!

I hope everyone enjoys a day off Costco is closed today.

Quick note on gas prices, Costco is at $3.279 and Speedway is at $3.579. An unfair comparison since Costco is closed today, but I thought I would throw it out there.
