The Phenomenon

No, not the movie...Costco! We all have had or still have a Costco membership and bought in bulk at one point. My membership has sense expired, but when I was younger we would frequent this store quite a bit! Whether it was for their great prices, their bulk items, their in-house eatery, or their SAMPLES! YUM! What a store!
The reason I thought about this store this morning, is because we celebrated my mom's birthday yesterday, and we got a Costco cake. People, these things could feed an ARMY! They are very good, don't get me wrong...butter cream icing, spongy cake, and the beautiful filling in the actual cake...but man is it a lot of food. Nobody in their right mind could finish this off. There were only four of us! Needless to say, my husband and I went home with some. In the fridge it went...whether it comes out, nobody knows...
Costco has a great food court inside, good prices, and you get a lot of food. Their smoothies are great :)

We used to order their pizzas all the time. You can't beat the price! A large pizza with 12-15 slices (huge slices) for $10.99. Really good!

The samples, the samples, the SAMPLES! Don't lie, that's why we all go. Shoot, you could eat an entire meal just by walking around the store and getting as many samples as you want. Whether they are drinks or food, you could get full...trust me.

This picture below is rather unheard of...a sample station with no people around it! WHAT!?!?

Ah, that's more like it. We're like bugs are to light...we attach ourselves to those sample tables!

Do you all have a Costco near you? Are you a member? What store do you frequent for your food? Notice how I'm loving the word "frequent" right now! HA!

I hope you are enjoying your Labor Day weekend!!
