OMG We LOVE those tortilla wrap sandwiches. We bring those camping. They don't last long. In fact, I order a huge tray, when our friends go with us.


Linda

Is this the ones that have the raspberry cream cheese? I love those sandwiches. One time we went to a praty and I kept eating them, I felt so bad because I felt like I couldn't stop.

I got invited back. hehe But the next time I made sure I brought some to the party to make up for the ones I ate. LOL

Yes, those are the ones, but our Costco has cranberry cream cheese in them and the are to die for. I LOVE those things, so does Rick. Once you start, you can''t stop. LOL LOL

When we were in Mexico in 2004, they had them at the Costco there. They were awful. The cream cheese was mixed with hot chili peppers and red pepper flakes and we didn''t know it. Our mouths burned for hours!!!!

ewwww, that sounds awful. I am going to see if our cream cheese is raspberry or cranberry. Here all this time it could have been cranberry.

LOL, Lisa that is large Mayo isn''t it. I only buy those huge containers if we are having a large BBQ and I am making potato and macaroni salads. YES, their filet mignon is soooooooooo yummmmy. In fact all their meat is.

I take one look at it and gag. I am such a baby. Ashley loves doing her shopping there to stock up for college. This year they are sharing a house with 5 girls, so it will come in handy. I just cannot look at Vats of Mayo..... I wonder if anyone feels as I do?

[Linda W]

[Linda W]

I''m with you on the mayonnaise--eww! I love mustard, though--I could probably eat a big jar of dijon by myself!

I think it has raspberry in them. Oh gosh, they''re just a weakness for me.. Oh you brought these for moi?? Gosh thanks!!

Yes, Michelle, I will bring some over for you and Linda, they are my total weakness. Hubby teases me because he knows my goals and says "step away from the raspberry turkey wraps." like they do over the intercom. hehee He is so silly!!!

I just went to Costco yesterday--it''s like I''m in a time warp in there. I wonder around aimlessly in awe!

With just me and DH in the house, we don''t buy much in bulk, but they have great prices on electronics and other stuff.

The only thing I buy regularly is the CosaminDS (glucosomine and chondroitin) for our dog. One good thing about a human-sized dog is that you can often bypass getting dog pills and just go for the human ones. The CosaminDS works better than any other G&C tablet I''ve tried and our vet and the Newf community are big fans of it. A Costco bottle lasts us months!!

The dog beds are a bargain, too.

Our Costco is right next to IKEA and I rarely go to one without going to the other. I''m definitely going to have to give these wraps a try!

At some point, my kids started saying ''oh no - mom''s got the costco fever'' whenever we would go there. I can''t believe how much I can spend there!

I always say that they have all of the things that I didn''t even know that I needed. We belong to BJ''s too, but somehow it is not the same!

Thats awesome. Costco fever. There are days when I talk to someone in America and say to them "Have you ever been to a Costco?" And it''s surprising how many people tell me "No". So then I ask if they have been to Sam''s Club or BJ''s and they say "Yes". And then I say "Okay, well both of them are cheap imitations of Costco"...

But then again, I work with them, not for them, so I have to talk about them for most of my waking hours.

You guys have inspired me! I''ve never been to Costco and my mom has a free membership available to use so she set it up for me to go this weekend! I usually go to Sam''s... but Costco seems much more glamorous.

Are there any things I should definitely NOT purchase?

Nope, unless you don't think you will use a big jar of mayonnaise

I just buy things I know I will use. There books are sooooo cheap so check those out; I love to stock up on good summer reads

Actually we have bought anything and everything, from tires, to birthday cakes, to jeans, wine and food

This is coming from Costco Left Field, but I LOVE their outdoor potted plants (amazing SUPERSIZE impatients for $12 that make my front pots burst with colour) and I also bought these $12.99 (Canadian) bamboo cotton 3/4 sleeve length tops that I absolutely adore. The label says "Seg''ments" and I have one in every colour. Without fail, they are my #1 go-to for tops. I big puffy heart them!

 

[akmiss]

I buy pretty much everything at Costco and Sam''s Club. Food, clothes, books, booze, cleaning supplies, and gas. I have a family of 5 and living in Alaska, pretty much everything can be big $$$. It helps to buy in bulk. I also get my film developed and I am going to start to but my glasses and contacts at Costco.

Oh, the boys favorites are video games and Otter Pops by the case of 1000

Skippy,

Michelle,

We always buy the artichoke dip for parties and holidays. It is the first to go. I could literally eat it with a spoon right out of the container. I LOVE that stuff.!!!!! And don''t get me started on the tortilla wraps. YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMY. I haven''t had the other dip though, I''ll have to look for it. It sounds yummmmmmy also.

Linda

Just got home from Costco. I got something new for dinner. Too hot to cook tonight.

I got these roll ups that have turkey, swiss cheese, lettuce, and tomato. Really yummy and the kids liked them! I served them with strawberries (bought at Costco of course). Yummmm
