Trail Mix, Ben & Jerrys, and Letters to Juliet


Last Night was very enjoyable. It started with going to Costco for dinner with Taylor and her roommate Alyssa. Alyssa is one of the many people I have met here who I have weird family and friend connections too. I guess that's what happens when you attend your family's alumna mater. Anyways the only thing we bought was Trail Mix for our drive home this week. My etiquette point this week is if you are waiting to pick up a pizza don't stand in the same line as those ordering. It just confuses the line and makes it look longer.

Anyways, afterwards we went downtown to use my Ben & Jerrys coupons that I still have a ton of despite just giving them to people to go use.  We had quite the adventure trying to find parking, who knew the mall was so popular Friday nights! We ended the night watching Letters to Juliet with a bunch of other girls and drank VitaRain and ate Cheez-its. Both bought at Costco. It was a great Costco filled night!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Cabelas

So I know it's not Costco, but I have to post about this weekend's adventure to Cabelas! Taylor and I had never been to Cabelas, so Braden was nice enough to drive us to Idaho so we could go. Ok, Idaho is only like a half hour away, and Cabelas was right over the border. Still we drove to Idaho! It was quite spectacular, an outdoorsmen's paradise. We didn't really buy anything, but it was kind of more of the experience anyways!

Then we did go to Costco. It was just a quick trip for Taylor to get some snow boots, because believe it or not it snows in Spokane. It is quite crazy, we already have snow! It's expensive to live in the snow! All these pieces of clothing I never had to buy before! So, anyways this week I got more wool socks. Again, I was disappointed in Spokane's sample selection.

This week's etiquette point has to do with membership. Yes, it is pretty great to bring people with out memberships to let them buy stuff. To make the lines go faster just pay for their stuff and have them pay you back. It is really the easiest way to do this, and it doesn't hold up the line!

Happy Sunday and Veteran's Day!

Girls Night

So I missed posting last week. I did go to Costco while I was home , but lapsed on writing a blog post. So forgive me. Daniel and I went just to eat the samples. Vancouver's Costco is much more impressive in the sample department. I tried quite a few good samples! Way to go Vancouver!

So today, Taylor and I just needed to get off campus because it had been a long week. However, a long week equaled some unnecessary purchases. We somehow both walked away with full cases of Vitarain. I also bought lots of socks, because my socks are going missing. I also bought my roommate dried mangoes because they're her favorite. I very well may have made her week. We, of course,  finished up our visit with pizza for dinner. Since we had quite a few purchases we actually had a cart this time. This leads me to this week's etiquette point. It is ok to leave your cart unattended in the food. They check your receipt before you leave. No one is going to steal your merchandise.

Hope you are all having lovely Saturdays!
