Parent's Weekend

So this weekend they had Costco night for Whitworth and Gonzaga students. They we're smart enough to plan it on parent's weekend so the parents could spoil us! Actually all I came away with was a huge box of Cheez-its. My parents bought these peppermint pretzels things that look awesome! But, they also had samples which is brings me to my next etiquette point. There is sample etiquette. When wanting a sample do not wait until they come out, you are just looking desperate. Also do not strike up a conversation with the server. You are holding up the rest of the line. If the sample is great enough to comment to the server, why don't you move out of the ways so others can enjoy!

Anyways so happy to go to Costco with the family, felt just like old times! Next week's post may come from Vancouver!

Trip Two:

Well we decided to go to Costco for dinner tonight. We got there about a half hour before closing so we didn't do much looking around. We bought what we needed to and left. Taylor bought Airbourne chewable tablets, which she really saved my life when introducing me to these. For those of you still suffering drinking Airbourne, let me tell you the chewable tablets are much less painful, and more delicious! So we decided to work a rotation where we will rotate who buys dinner each time, and it was my turn. When I got up to order Taylor's food I blanked on what she wanted and said a hot dog, and then realized she wanted cheese pizza. I was that person that I hated when I worked concessions over the summer. Sorry Costco food court man! While eating we got a lovely explanation from Braden about how there are many gluten free things in the world that we're always gluten free. They now just say those on the labels, because that is what is trendy right now.

While sitting at the food court, someone walked up in pajamas. This reminded me of the whole reason I was going to start this blog. I was going to start a Costco etiquette blog. So etiquette rule number one. Pajamas are not appropriate in public. Actually this is not just a rule for Costco, this is in general. I promise the next rule will be Costco specific. Anyways have a great weekend, and happy shopping!

First Trip

So this was so exciting!  Taylor, Braden, and I make our first trip to Costco today for lunch since food on the weekends in Sodexo is not excellent. But, we also brought along my roommate Christy who got to experience Costco for only the second time in her life. It was so fun to see her excitement and all the wonderful things Costco sells. Also this may be a little dramatic, but going to Costco seriously was the thing that felt the most like home since I've been here in Spokane. Eating Costco pizza was almost as good as a home cooked meal.


There we're of course obvious difference between the Vancouver and Spokane Costcos. The main two being I didn't have Matt sweeping my feet while I was eating or have Teddy singing to me when I entered and then telling my family that we are beautiful when we left. But, the guy checking the receipts at the door was name Archie and I feel he might have some same Teddy qualities about him.

Made my first purchase-ICE drinks...big surprise :) (Also Braden is a bad photobomber, its blurry.)

I think I need this guy for Christmas.

Got our real cards yesterday. We're making our first trip tomorrow for lunch after church. Then the adventures will really begin! Also found out there are two Costcos in Spokane! So much more to explore!

Today a new page begins. Today I begin my journey as a Costco Member. I will be posting my adventures of the various Costcos I go too. Mainly this will be the Spokane Costco and the Vancouver Costco. But, I plan to explore many other Costcos!
