CostCo

So every once in a while when Nick and I get bored at work and are pining for a cheap lunch (cheaper than peanut butter and jelly, of course) we head over to the CostCo. Not for the free samples, but because you can get a hot dog (kosher) and a drink for $1.50. And then a slice of pizza (way too thick and cheesy, so you only really need one) for $2. If you're ambitious (as I am) you'll opt for the $1 churro as well. Total cost today: $4.80. And I'm stuffed. Not exactly healthy, but it works out well.

The funny thing is that my membership expired in August, and I haven't bothered renewing it yet. But I've still got the card which gets you in.

Did I mention how glad I am that you're blogging again. This is the sort of drivel I live for.

Thanks for opting for the Churro. Always a good choice. And hey, this likely won't help you much, but I hear you can shop at the Costco Liquor Store (if there's one attached to your Costco) without a membership card. That's solid.

Yeah that card gets you into a lot of places.
