Do you like shopping at Costco?
The weekly Costco run is all about jam-packed parking lots, families loading carts with bulk-sized items, and standing in long queues – in other words, the most exciting suburban family activity.

It’s very enlightening that for senior citizens savings on prescriptions, hearing aids/batteries, vitamins and supplements are ok. But for me I would like to see savings on groceries, supply items, clothing’s, and appliances, etc. and make my day!
One thing COSTCO fails to remember (and THAT is the key word) is to stop changing the LOCATION of items.
MY FAVORITE MEMORY OF SHOPPING AT COSTCO…I stopped at Costco this afternoon to pick up a few things. I’m still wearing a back brace because of pain from back surgery and I use the handicap scooter that Costco provides. When I came out, an older man with a cane (I never use the word ‘elderly’) was waiting by the front door. He approached me, “May I have that scooter when you are finished with it?”
“Absolutely,” I said.
“I’ll help you load your groceries.”
“Great…let’s go…I’m very near. I was going to ask one of the Costco guys for help.”
He followed me and loaded all of my stuff into my SUV. When he was finished, he climbed on the scooter and headed back to Costco’s front door.
Costco shoppers are good people. We were both winners!
