I am the Almighty Costcolio

I have two fantastic pieces of news.

1. Costco has moved to a new location near me, and it’s twice as big as the old place, and parking is way better.

2. The old Costco is going to be a Lowe’s!

Does life get any better than that?

I stocked up on $4.79 flap meat, and I bought a few pounds of blueberries to freeze. I can’t face life without access to blueberry cheesecake. Not sure how they’ll look after freezing, but it can’t hurt to try.

Here’s great news, for everyone who enjoys seeing me dribble my own money away on food experiments, so you don’t have to. I bought a bag of Costco mozzarella, and a package of Costco provolone slices. The slices gave me the idea. It looks like good provolone, and it’s about $2.50 per pound, so I couldn’t resist. I’m going to make a Costco-cheese pizza and see what happens. If this works out, it would be great news for men everywhere. Think about it. You go to Costco and buy 5 lbs. of each cheese, and you divide it up with one or two friends, and you get super-cheap pizza.

I decided to break down and try Costco’s 12-year-old Macallan Scotch. It costs about half what the 16-year-old does. I’m disappointed. Truthfully, I think 12-year-old blended Scotch is better. I found it harsh. I guess if you want good single-malt Scotch, you have to give up and spend some money.

Fortunately, I have no complaints at all about their $23 Pinch.
