I dislike Costco

 I more accurately should have written--I hate Costco.

But I have a Costco Visa card and every January they send me a gift certificate that is a % of my purchases in the last year.

This year it was $364.

So we went to Costco to buy things with it.

Bern is in charge and makes a list.

We spent over $320 on huge things: 30 rolls of toilet paper, 12 rolls of paper towels, 20 boxes of tissue, 2 hams for Easter dinner, 16 metal pans for cooking, more flossing stuff than I'll ever use--stuff like that.

I hate Costco because 1) it's so huge; 2)there are so many people there; the parking lot is always too full; and 4) I don't know where anything is in the store.

Once a year I can stand it--but no more than that.

(p.s. Don't tell Costco--I love getting a gift certificate.)
