CHASING AROUND COSTCO AND KISSING THE FLOOR



Salud, Kids!

Gad...bargain shopping is a bitch! And speaking of bitches out shopping. Oh, that's another blog I thought about yesterday when I snapped the deli at Greenwise (the ORGANIC Publix). No bargains there, but I DO so love me some Boar's Head cheese and other goodies. The Deli lady was nice as could be. Can't say the say for some snooty types parking their carts all across the front of the deli case. You know the type...just look into the center of the universe...there they will be.

Back to bitchin'-bargain-huntin', it is a fun adventure. You know, like being with that certain friend you may have. If I had any friends, I would want them to be a teeny bit bitchy. Admit it, that type is WAY more fun.

Anyway, today was all about Britt and I searching for paint, sniffin' out good deals on canned chicken and that sort of thing and it went fairly well. Yes, it worked out nicely if you discount how she decided to wear incredibly stylish, sky-high wedge heels (looking fabulous) to Costco and Home Depot. Would I kid ya? She put every flip-flop wearin' hussy to shame. Just toss me in with the hussies, I had on flat sandals.



Looking all kinds of glam, she tried to take a tumble and air-kiss their pristine (insert any level of sarcasm) cement floor near the paint department at THE Depot (there's only one). Naturally, I grabbed for her and was willing to meet her on the floor. I am loyal, if nothing else (don't even).
All drama aside, Kids, I have to admit that as newbies to Costco, we were impressed. Last time there I walked out with two plants, so this was my first time to get down to checking and comparing prices. Well, Britt did all the price checking and documenting. Hey, I can't snap photos AND write.

Oh, they have a leather chaise that I must have and it is only $179.00. For that price, how could I possibly leave it at the store? Britt has promised to figure a way to tie it to the top of the car for transporting. She muttered something about zip-ties and sitting on it, holding on tightly for the ride home. Ought to be just the ticket. Any officer of the law daring to stop us would be so impressed by her footwear they couldn't possibly ticket us.

Will get back to you as we tally up the damage and compare to prices at Publix and their all-natural sistah, Greenwise.

Promise to be honest about where we rank...frugal-wise!

Gotta go, a stylish chaise awaits.

See ya 'round the beaches-real or virtual.
