Goddamit! I will not go to Costco anymore!

I went today and spent half my paycheck. I got a lot and I'm set for a month in food and goodies...

But I cannot walk into that store without dropping some serious dimes. The have all these nice little old ladies pushing food at me making me feel guilty if I don't buy 25 lbs. of Brie because she gave me some on a cracker. And I live by myself. I love cheese, but it will take me forever to eat that.

I am too weak to shop at Costco.

3. I go to Costco hungry and leave full.

If they are selling 25lbs things of Brie, I make damn sure I eat at least 5 lbs of it in the store.:P

6. I find it's best to have a support group.

Go to Costco and then split up the huge packages with other people. That way, we all share the cost. It works in theory...

It also helps to be a shameless sample pig. I don't mean quantity-wise. Just ignore the puppy eyes from the sample people. (Besides, at least they're interacting with people. There's always some poor person at the vitamin aisle that no one will sample. (Who needs a sample of super mega vitamin, when there's pizza around the corner ;)).
