Have you ever gone to Costco or Sam's Club just for the food samples?

  • Oh yeah, not for a long time but in my 20s on Saturday’s could go there in the afternoons and not need dinner that night. I don’t have a Costco card anymore though :(

    I've had plenty of "free" lunches there myself.  No more Costco card?  I will give you one.  No more tears!

  • Yay! I’m waiting for it to be legal for them to sell alcohol at our Costco’s. That might happen in 2057. So get me one then please.

    We have a grocery store chain here in the US.  FRY's.  It is a normal grocery store except where I work.  In the town of ANTHEM, AZ, we have a BAR in the middle of the grocery store.  LOLOLOL

    And loud rock music blasts throughout the whole strip mall.  And?  They serve fresh pizza.  

    All the other Fry's would be so jealous if they knew.  I work in a town no one even KNOWS about. It is a little mountain town and it is so weird.  SO freaking weird.

    I am sure it is not of this earth.  

    I have to blog about it sometime.  

    LIKE RIGHT NOW:  There is no time like the present... I will blog about Anthem.... you are my muse.

    Oh btw?  My mom used to give samples at COSTCO?  She would get so pissed at people who came in for the free food and not buy something.  SHE TOOK IT SERIOUSLY.  And she really resented people who came through the line more than once.  And GOD forbit if you had a kid who was grabbing food off the table.

    LOL  

    Poor customer service folks.  Feel sorry for them.  They don't get paid what Costco employees do.

    Do you really want to wait that long?  I'll be kinda old by then.  Just remind me, ok?

    Who would pay for a Costco card just to go there to eat samples and nothing else? When we did go, (we no longer have a card) it was for lots of other stuff. I would eat the samples if they weren't sweets.

    You could make a feast and pay for the card in a week.  They give out FOOD.  You just have to live there.  They even have tables set up.  You can sit in front of the store and chow down.

  • Heaven's no!  That would be sort of a false economy wouldn't it?  They may offer me free samples as I sashay up and down the aisles but I promise you, I never get out of there without spending a few hundred dollars.  The house always wins.  I love Costco!  I hate Costco!

    I cannot tell you how much I hated that stupid song when it came out.  This at least makes it more palatable.


    OF COURSE You tube has to mess up and not let me copy/paste this.

    This is a much better song by my favorite gay politician.
