Is why I won’t go to Costco.

My hubs goes with the kids, but I won’t …oh I won;t.

@Sherri @ Old Tweener, Ha! It is cold and flu season after all…

Mark once bought a 2-pack of GIANT ibuprofen bottles and they expired before we even got through half of one bottle. No more bulk pharmaceuticals.

@Kristy, The poor pets! Ours moved out of our room – she used to sleep on the floor at the foot of our bed – and into the laundry room about five days after we brought our first baby home. She was tired of being woken up at night! I felt her pain…

@Kristin, We will never send the husbands together. No telling what they’d bring home…

@Melissa (Confessions of a Dr.Mom), Isn’t it kind of scary when you suddenly decide you must have something you had no idea even existed? I don’t what it is… After this post, and reading people’s comments, I’m challenging myself to stick to the list at Costco and Target. I know I can do it!

@Kelley, That place is an undsit central!

@Kristen @ Motherese, I completely agree! The marketing geniuses behind Walmart, Target, and the like – they are scary good. I know I’m smarter than all that, but every once in a while they get me with all the shiny displays of “must have” items.

@alyson: common sense, dancing, You are my self-control, restraint hero. 😉 I get it, though – the bulk food actually gives me the creeps. It inevitably goes to waste at our house. I get in trouble with all the other “stuff” – appliances, Christmas decoration, the book table, etc. If I leave without a book, Mark and I do a high-five for my amazing self control!

@Christina, I know! Why bother with a list? Well, we take a list so we get the things we go for, but I always leave room to go off – way off – the list. 🙂

Like cough syrup in huge bottles, in a 2-pack. I may have to start serving it as a cocktail just to get rid of it.
