8 reasons why Costco is the coolest store ever

January 11, 2015 by Jill 58 Comments

Hey, you know that song from “Frozen” that starts with “do you wanna build a snowman?”  Of course you do.  Oh…song stuck in your head?  Welcome to my world.

Around my house, we sing “do you wanna go to Costco” so if you’re a Costco groupie like me, maybe that tune is now just a teensy bit more tolerable? Just a little?

8 Reasons why Costco is the coolest store ever|Ripped Jeans and Bifocals|Costco|ShoppingI believe in Heaven and Hell.  I know the Bible offers a description of both places but I kinda like to think Heaven is just a little bit like Costco.  Because I really just love it that effing much.

Table of Contents

  • Here are a few reasons why I think Costco is the coolest store EVER.
  • 1. Free Samples
  • 2. Hot Dog Deal
  • 3. Churros
  • 4. Stretchy, comfy clothes
  • 5. Jumbo pallets of toilet paper
  • 6. Double-seater shopping carts
  • 7. Cheap booze
  • 8. Because it’s Costco

Here are a few reasons why I think Costco is the coolest store EVER.

1. Free Samples

I mean…duh.  On my last Costco graze-a-palooza I started with garlic bread washed down with energy drink.  The sample dude swore this energy drink cured his ADHD and acne, which I thought was TMI, but that’s okay…I’m an over-sharing kinda girl as well, so I get it.   

I moved on to tomato soup, fat-free popcorn, hummus and an egg white omelet.  Quite the spread, although I did tell the popcorn sample lady that I thought fat-free popcorn just seemed sort of wrong. I don’t think she really cared and I scarfed it down anyway.  I finished with sinfully yummy dark chocolate pretzel caramel orgasm bites (okay maybe they weren’t actually called orgasm bites but they should be.)

2. Hot Dog Deal

If the free samples don’t fill you up, there’s a snack bar, too.  A hot dog and a drink for $1.50?  How amazing is that?  Costco makes the best-ever hot dogs, unless you’re one of those people who actually thinks about where hot dogs come from…then maybe not.

3. Churros

The snack bar has these, too and there are just not enough happy things I can say about fried dough rolled in sugar.  Especially when it costs a dollar.

4. Stretchy, comfy clothes

What better to sell in the land of eternal snacking than loose-fitting clothes?  Costco has a yummy array of tights, sweats (oh, riiight…we call those yoga pants now) and oversized hoodies that hide your ass.  Great stuff to wear while you’re nestled on your couch binge-watching Netflix and munching on dark chocolate pretzel caramel orgasm bites.

5. Jumbo pallets of toilet paper

I don’t really need to explain why this is just awesome, right?  Or is that just me?  If jumbo pallets of toilet paper don’t trip your trigger, there’s also jumbo pallets of sticky notes and jumbo pallets of instant mashed potatoes….to each their own jumbo pallet fetish.  I’m partial to toilet paper but I have a big family and butt-wiping is sort of important.

6. Double-seater shopping carts

I can strap both my small humans in and browse to my heart’s content.  I can paw through piles of stretchy pants goodness while sipping an espresso sample and they can’t escape. They don’t mind too much. I give them each a dollar churro to help ensure a peaceful shopping trip.  There’s a lot to be said for no fighting over whose turn it is to sit in the back of the cart with the food because no kid likes it when you try to squash him with a super-sized package of ground round.

7. Cheap booze

Kirkland brand is so much more than economy-sized boxes of fruit snacks…they make wine and it’s actually more than respectable. Good wine doesn’t have to cost a ton and there’s really just something wonderful about a jumbo bottle of reasonably priced boozy goodness.  Nothing says classy like Costco brand cab, people.

These are all good reasons to love Costco.  But my top reason for loving Costco is simple…

8. Because it’s Costco

Honestly, my husband could get almost as much hummana hummana meow meow action from taking me on a date to Costco than a fancy dinner and a chick flick.  Almost…

    First of all, I’m totally singing the song “dooo you wanna go to Costcoooooo” in my head now. Haha. I absolutely adore Costco… my only gripe is that it’s always so dang packed… unless I go when they first open in the AM – doesn’t matter if it’s a weekend, weekday, whateve – there are always people all over that place. Can’t blame them though! I get all the kids lunch snacks and yes, toilet paper, from Costco. It’s surely an awesome place.

    There’s only two of us in my household and yet jumbo pallets of butt paper are mucho important around here. There’s nothing more terrifying than getting down to the last roll and someone is either having stomach issues or someone is too lazy to go to the store. Oh sure, we’ll do a midnight run to get wine or a cheap burger thanks to booze munchies, but TP? Nah. Priorities, yo.

    This is all true, but you’re going to probably have tape worms, fungi and other strange creatures swimming around in your blood stream and gut from the Costco food you’re eating. Those hot dogs are actually made from horse hooves and pig ass. I know they taste good, but please watch your poop closely for foreign objects- god only knows what they’ve put in the churros. Probably discarded fat from a lipo procedure.
    That said, I do love taking my kids there for “lunch”. The samples fill them up and the orgasm popcorn stuff is the icing on the cake for them. Ahhhh, Costco.

I am not just hooked on their pallets of toilet paper but just about everything they have in there… Seriously, it is worse than my soda addiction I swear! Every other weekend my daughters and I have “lunch” at Costco just from their samples alone but of course we gorge ourselves with a visit to the snack bar as we are leaving as well! HA!

    I was so bummed that in my liberal Boston yuppie/hippie suburb, the Costco had no – none – humane meat. Not even Applegate brand, which most grocery places have these days.

    BJs (worst/best name ever) had a whole Applegate _section,_ plus wildcaught fish, plus cage free eggs.

    I was bummed, since Costco has a good reputation for how it treats employees, it was surprising to be so far behind in treatment of animals. And its wine. But no humane meat, no membership.

    I’m with you. My daughter, grandkids and I would make our weekly trip to Costco’s. Most of our family and friends just thought it was to do our weekly grocery shopping but no – it was to have lunch. It was like having lunch at a restaurant, like the Wood Grill, where you have endless choices, buffet style, And then to boot – IT WAS FREE!!!!!! Of course, we fit in a little shopping.

I really do love pockets, though.

I spent 26 years in the USAF, which went by really, really fast. I'm very proud of my service but I'm loving my second act even more. Writing gives me the opportunity to flex my creative muscles and that's what makes me happy. Welcome.

"Intelligence + Character. That is the goal of tru "Intelligence + Character. That is the goal of true education." Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

I saw a lot of posts about Martin Luther King yesterday when I was doing my scrolls through social media...on a day where I wasn't supposed to be ON social media, ahem. We hear and see a lot of Dr. King's words and quotes one day a year. So, instead of apologizing for posting this "a day late" I'll share that I'm challenging myself to remember some of these important words more than one day a year.

Our kids are watching us right now. I mean...they're always watching us but I think what they see in these times is more important than ever. Nuturing our kids' intelligence and character is more important than ever. My kids are 10 now - this picture is about four years old - and they are absorbing EVERYTHING we say, how we say it and even what we don't say. 

This mural is near the suspension bridge in downtown Waco. Waco is famous for all the Magnolia things but there's a lot there for families, too, and the park around the bridge is a great place to explore along the Brazos River.

Here’s something you’ve probably never seen be Here’s something you’ve probably never seen before: my bottom teeth.
.
I always hide my crooked bottom teeth in pictures and I’m super self-conscious when I talk. So I did something about it.
.
I wore braces as a kid and my top teeth are straight but my bottom teeth are shifting and one tooth is traveling into the back of my mouth and I have some crowding. My orthodontist said it’s very unusual to put braces on just half your mouth but my bite is still aligned so they didn’t have to put them on my top teeth - my wallet is thankful.
.
Questions I’ve already been asked:
.
1️⃣ At your age? Yes, at my age. I still care about my smile. 
.
3️⃣ How long do you have to wear them?
.
6-9 months.
.
3️⃣ Do they hurt? 
.
My teeth are sore and my mouth is tender but not to the Tylenol level so I guess the answer is “Not too much.”
.
Other questions? Advice?

Little things can really be big - do you agree? M Little things can really be big - do you agree?

My husband gets up with our kids twice a week and does their breakfast and morning routine and takes them to school so I can sleep in. I don't laze away the morning in bed - it usually amounts to about an extra hour of sleep for me and a little more peace and quiet as I start my day. 

This probably seems like a little thing but this is huge for me. The mental benefits of not having to set my alarm on a schoolday is truly my love language. I would rather have sleep than flowers or presents. 

On those morning where my husband takes my kids to school, I will inevitably find the kitchen not "just so." There will be spills on the table or something that didn't get put away. I resist the urge to be sarcastic or to ask "Um, is there a reason we have four boxes of cereal just sitting on the counter?" or point out that it would take less than 30 seconds to wipe a tabletop or put a box back on the shelf. I resist saying stuff like "I guess if I want it done a certain way, I have to do it myself." I don't even say that to myself. 

My husband isn't "doing me a favor" by taking care of our kids. When I talked about being stressed and tired during an argument last year, he offered to take some things off my plate and giving me two mornings where I don't have to set an alarm was one of his ideas. It's part of the give and take of marriage and even though it makes me clench a little when I see spilled milk or stuff that hasn't put away, I appreciate having a partner who shares the load with me. 

My marriage definitely is not perfect and I'm in no position to give relationship advice. But for us, this one little thing is a really big deal. 

And, as I've recently discovered, a cereal box can sit on the counter for several days and the world doesn't explode. Who knew.

2020 started out so fine. We extended our kids’ winter break to take them on a Disney Cruise- no better reason than that, amiright- and I was excited about all the Disney Cruise blog posts I was going to write. Disney Cruises are (errr...were?) one of the most searched terms on my website and how a lot of people found me.
.
Early 2020 was such a time of hope and light that pretty much everyone took for granted.
.
While it’s become glaringly obvious the change in the calendar isn’t a magic potion, I still have hope for this year and still believe there magic yet to happen.
.
You know...the good stuff.

We got our first Raddish Kids box right before the We got our first Raddish Kids box right before the holidays and finally dug into it this weekend. Our box had a cold-weather theme which was perfect for this cold weather we're having (flurries in San Antonio can you believe it?!)

Each box contains three recipe cards, a culinary tool, an iron-on patch and Table Talk conversation starter cards. A shopping list is included and also emailed to you in advance in case you want to be ready to cook as soon as your box arrives. You buy all the groceries yourself. 

We made homemade chicken and dumplings this weekend and they turned out amazing. If you need modifications (i.e. gluten or dairy free) you can hop on to the @raddishkids website and go to the "Bonus Bites" section. You'll find modifications, food videos, extra recipes, parent info and more fun stuff. 

The price ranges from $20-$24 per box depending on what type of subscription you choose. Boxes are designed for kids 4-14+ with varying degrees of supervision needed depending on your child's skills and age. Kyle and i have done two meals from this box - we still have cookies left to make - and worked together about 50-50. It was a lot of fun.
