"Well, that was an experience!"

What both David and I said as we sat in the car having just left Costco, after our first shopping trip there, in years. We got a coupon  in the mail (I think-it might have been a door hang tag), saying that Mastercard holders could have one day of shopping privileges at Costco, this weekend.  We fought the crowds, me on a scooter and David following behind with a cart.  We cruised most of the store, and bought most of the meat we'll need for the next 6 months, most of the cleaning supplies we'll need for the next year, a couple of just because food items, and about two months of OTC pharmaceuticals and toilet paper.  We had to use plastic money, but it was maybe worth it.  However, we decided that the prices, and experience, did not make it worthwhile joining.  Then we spent more than 2 hours getting stuff ready for the freezer--the one we said we would defrost before putting anything more in there-whoops!
