So I made my first trip to Costco a few days ago...
Nicely impressed with the store, and felt all warm & fuzzy about shopping with the "good guys." But I was puzzled by one thing....

I think I understand the whole "buy in bulk" thing, but am I some sort of really warped person to have chuckled at the sight of a shelf full of multi-packs of THREE pregnancy tests?

I mean, what, if you don't like the first result, do you try for best 2 out of 3, or something like that?

:shrug:

1. if your a young lady trying to get pregnant
you might go thru a few of those tests before you strike pay dirt. My wife certainly did. We tried for a year before she finally got pregnant. She picked up a box or two every week or so...kinda silly...but you know women...;-)

2. Also - many small store owners (corner store types)

buy much of their stock at Costco (especially cigarettes, but other items as well).

Now, granted, not many corner stores sell pregnancy tests, but hey, it's a possibility :)
