i've had cinnamon toast crunch every day for the past 3 months. why? because we bought it at costco. that means we have enough cinnamon toast crunch to get us through next september. getting a membership at a wholesale warehouse has been great since having the baby; i think i've bought diapers twice in 7 months and i have enough formula on hand to feed the gosselin kids. when you go shopping at costco you end up leaving with things you never even knew you needed till you got there. i didn't realize how much i loved pita chips till i bought 200 bags of them. of course a place like costco is a dream for an anal retentive, organized, OCD, cheapskate like t.j. he HATES change of any sort which is just one of many reasons he didn't vote for the current administration. he is perfectly ok with brushing his teeth everyday for the next 10 years with the same toothpaste - which we will be doing since we have 125 tubes of it. see, i like to live on the edge and alternate between gel and paste every other toothpaste purchase. sometimes i feel like whitening, and other times i simply want tartar control. but since costco came into our lives i have no choice but to spend my entire 30's whitening with gel. the problem with buying in bulk is if you hate something, you are stuck with it. we are gonna be eating nasty generic black refried beans till rozzy's preschool graduation because if you want some nasty generic black beans you have to buy 375 cans of them. and, as if the beans don't cause enough problems, our clothes smell like an old folks' home because we have 167 gallons of lilac garden fabric softener. it's not just groceries you can get at costco, either. you can buy batteries by the thousands, paper clips by the millions and real lambs wool house slippers by the pair. if you want drugs, they have that too. i was supposed to stop at walgreens to pick up some sudafed and forgot. while at costco i decided to see if they sold sudafed. now my sinuses are safe for the next 42 years. i could do without costco and all these risky purchases, but t.j. is hooked for life. he even upgraded to the "executive" membership. what that means is you pay and extra 40 bucks to have special bulk-buying power. this is right up t.j.'s ally. i am proud to say that my husband is now a card-carrying member of the most anal retentive, organized, OCD, cheapskate club in town.
