Have you ever wondered????

.... when is the best time to shop at Costco? when they have most sample carts out? In my humble very unprofessional opinion, I would have to say that FRIDAY evening is one of the best times to visit my local Costco store. While everyone else is out at the local restaurant, you can shop without the crowds and then enjoy a slice of yummy hot pizza or a hot dog combo on the way out. The last few times I have shopped on a Friday night, I have almost had the whole store to myself. As for the busiest days of the week, Saturday and Sunday win hands down. They are also the days with the most samples! So, I suppose the question you must ask yourself is are free samples at every turn worth fighting the crowds? For many, the answer will be a resounding YES, but if you are like me, I prefer to be able to stop my cart in the middle of the aisle to peruse the latest merchandise without feeling like I'm blocking Interstate I-64!
As I see them, I will post items that are on sale. On Friday I saw a GREAT deal on a giant cupcake carrier for only $9.97! Remember if you see an item with .97 in the price you can be assured it's on sale!!!

Oh Where or Where has my blog gone?!?!?

So, yes I fell of the planet when it comes to my blog about my beloved Costco. I think I have a pretty good excuse, a new baby girl in July pretty much says it all! Now that's she's getting ready to turn 9 months, I think I can... I think I can...
So many times over this past year I have thought, oh man, I need to get back to my blog and post about this amazing deal or new product. What has got me back on the wagon, was a conversation with an expectant mom on Facebook about my AMAZING Phil and Ted's Dash stroller that I bought for our new bambino from Costco.com. I couldn't tell her enough good things about it and felt like there might be other mom's out there that needed to know the same things. Of course Costco had THE BEST DEAL out there! Well, I'm off to run some errands with the kiddo's today, and YES, I will be making a stop at my local Costco, as we are celebrating our son's 3rd birthday tomorrow and need to pick up some chicken for the grill! I'll let you know what new and exciting deals and goodies I find! Hopefully sooner rather than later!
