Sample Saturdays

There is something fantastic about visiting Costco. It is like a little day date that requires little travel and technically no expense. Until you fill your cart with whatever deliciousness you choose. But - that isn't the point. The point is that Costco is a very real part of our lives. So when Super Bowl Sunday was upon us, we knew of no better place to go than Costco to hit up their Sample tables!

Sure, it was crowded beyond belief, and maneuvering that cart was something of a skill. But the sample ladies were out in full force! Every finger food and BBQ delight was there for the testing. And we partook. And loved it.

And we can't make a post about our Costco Sampling without me mentioning (again) that I use to work for WDS as a sample lady. And it was lovely. And yes, I did get many comments like "aren't you too young for this job?" Being that I was still in High school, I was definitely the youngest on the team, but contrary to popular belief, there is no age limit saying that you have to be an old lady to work there. Oh good times. The best part of the story is that when I was applying for the position, I thought I was applying to work for Costco - the warehouse. So you can imagine my surprise when it all came out what my real job was and that I didn't work for Costco - just in Costco. Funny life.

So there it is. My post about Costco. I love it there. And I love that we make plans to go as a family - mostly to enjoy the samples. Awesome fun and semi-cheap date.
