Jim ShugartLife is good!
I just got a text from my GF. She's bringing $1.50 hotdogs from Costco for our supper tonight with an extra one for Merlot. She'll also be leaving a $4.99 roasted chicken.
Sooooo..... life is good!

Balzé HalzéI'm finally heading home after three weeks away from my girls. And then we're heading to the lake for a little camping just the three of us. Yup, I feel what you're saying. I'm picking up what you're putting down. I'm digging what you're dogging (I have no idea what that last one means; I'm just speaking jibberish now).
But life is good!

WoodmanAlthough membership has lapsed, I'll still visit a Costco in the area for the Italian sausage with peppers and onions. And a fountain drink.
The exit guards 'carded' me on the last visit but let me pass, as it was Food Court only. Unexpected new security, though.

Food court at our Costco is outside the store, so anybody can walk up and partake. Florida, so it's doable year round.

Our food court is outside as well, best pizza deal in town. We have a membership, just rarely use it. Want the Costco Visa Card so I can go get the cheap gas there. Them hot dog and coke deals sure are awesome, I just haven't done it yet, but I think I need to! My dad always mentions them if we go to Costco together haha.

Before I got my own card, a checker wouldn't let me and another coworker go to the food court. We had to ask some stranger coming in if she would let us in with her.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Yup. My wife and I get a couple of meals out of one, and some lunch sandwiches, too.
It's good cold, on the second day, with a side of homemade cole slaw and / or potato salad.
As far as the food court, every item I've tried to date has been great!
Can't beat a 1/4 pound hot dog and a soft drink for a buck and a half.
The Italian sausage sandwich with pepper and onion for $2.69 is a hearty lunch.
Large slices of pizza for $1.99.
I haven't tried the chili yet. It has beans, so it's controversial.

Jim ShugartI throw the chicken carcass into with a pot of water with onions, celery, carrots, spices, garlic, etc. and make a wonderful stock.
It is indeed one hell of a deal. And no doubt they're loosing money on it (as long as you don't count the $200 worth of stuff in trunk of your car that you bought).
