I See, I Buy

I had another fine experience at Costco today. Rib eyes were selling for $5.59 again, so I had to buy. They’re aging in the beer cooler now. Picked up some pork tenderloin as well.

They have really good Mexican blackberries, and what person from Kentucky could pass a blackberry up? So I nabbed those. Plus really cheap grape tomatoes. I think supermarket grape tomatoes are a little better, but I only eat the damn things for my health, so I don’t care. I bought a jar of assorted nuts for my gall bladder, and those were very good, too. And I got navel oranges. I have to eat fruit once in a while, and navels are easy to deal with.

I saw one item which I did not fully appreciate until I got home. A gigantic Crescent tool set. It had all sorts of stuff in it. Like 118 pieces. I know Crescent is a brand not known to explode immediately when you try to use them, so I figured it had to be worth the $29 price. But I didn’t think I needed them. Then after I got home, I realized: for $29 plus $5 for a Home Depot toolbox, I could have had a pretty decent emergency kit for the car trunk.

They also had Stanley tripod flashlights on sale, so I had to have one.

I managed to resist the truly stupid items this time. That’s always a challenge. And they were out of kosher Coke.

I would love to make a blackberry cobbler. That would be fantastic. I haven’t had that in years. I can’t believe my grandmother has been gone for half a decade.

They also had Pinch for $24 a fifth, but I didn’t buy any.

I think I’m starting to get the hang of Costco.
