I have always thought of myself as a Costco type of person. Whenever Costco comes up in conversation I am one to interject, "I love Costco!" and proceed to discuss all manner of Costco goods, even the ones I don't buy. I'll talk about pleated-front khakis, garden statues, and gold necklaces as well as toddler pajamas, gigantic boxes of Cheerios, and caramel apple pie.
Today, however, we went to Costco as a family and the old thrill was gone. It wasn't crowded or anything, and it was a 2:1 ratio adults:babies (always good) but I just wanted to be somewhere else--anywhere, really. All I could think about was how the baby kept screeching and they're trying to sell me "Vitamin Water" and the new box of Tide is twice as high as it used to be so how am I supposed to reach in there every time I do a load?
That said, I not only recommend the caramel apple pie, but you also must try the organic ravioli--in the refrigerated section, not frozen. It is amazing. The chicken kind, not so good, but definitely try the spinach kind. Today I noticed there are two new varieties: eggplant parmesan and tomato-basil-mozzarella. I bought them all. I think the brand name is Monterey something-or-other. Give it a try and you won't look back. At any rate the three containers of ravioli sitting in my fridge are my redemption from the less-than-stellar shopping trip this morning.

We went as a family to our costco after a trip to the gym (they're right next to each other - oh so convient) to buy milk and bread.
THEY NO LONGER SELL WHOLE MILK!!!
I have never been mad at Costco. I am now! The convience is gone and now the new Wal-Mart down the street will get my milk and bread business.
They were losing money on the whole milk so instead brought in 1%. I hope they've heard nothing but complaints since!
