beer

**csb5731** · 10-01-2010, 04:59 PM

-1 massive bundle of toilet paper, about a 1 yr supply
-Kirkland brand albacore, a couple packs
-2-3 big boxes of of Quaker rolled oats, awesome deal and usually the reason for the trip
-Some random piece of clothing that may or may not fit right, is probably unfashionable, but was at a price that appealed to me
-last few trip, artichokes of all things
-bag of romaine lettuce
-fish oil
-glucosamine/chondroitin
-multi
-calcium
-I make a special effort to bypass electronics, cause I'll see some great deal and want something I don't need

Last time I was their I saw they had some pretty cheap whey, and would have bought some, but I'm chipping away still at a 25lb bag I bought over the interweb.

Forgot about that, I just bought a pair of Lucky jeans the other day for $29, only to find out when I got home that the color isn't in style anymore, too faded.

Haha, I bought me a pair of the Lucky jeans last year at Costco. Then I noticed on the inside of the fly, when you open them up, it says "Lucky You". It's like it was meant for the special occasion when the fly-opener is not in fact the wearer of the jeans. "Hey baby, you're one lucky gal!". I think either I or the gf might break out laughing.

But I have about five pairs of I'm sure highly unfashionable Costco-acquired Calvin Klein jeans and about 10 pairs of the even less-fashionable Kirkland Levis clones. Don't know why I feel obliged to by them, but I do.

Oh, I did get a very fashionable shirt there a couple years ago. The reaSon I know it was fashionable is because 4 other guys at my work bought the same one, same color and everything and all wore them on the same Monday. That was the last time I wore that shirt. I learned not to buy any really good deal clothes there that aren't generic looking like jeans.
