Wheres Toto Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 We have a Costco but our BJ's is better. We also used to have a Sam's Club (I used to work there). We do have a Melting Pot. I like it but it is SOOOOO expensive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 In Oregon Costco was the cheapest for about 1/4 of our groceries so we made 2 stops, the other being WinCo. Here, Wal-Mart is significantly less than Costco. We always said we'd keep Costco no matter what for gas and pizza, but none of the gas stations are convienently located and I'm now gluten free so... I love Costco though. They have weird things like giant bags of sweet potato chips and really cool things at Christmas. For John's birthday we got a $40 laser tag set and a $30 drone with a camera that connected to your phone. Mary got a My Little Pony set for $30, the likes of which I had not been able to find for under $100. Oh, and dog food. All pet stuff. Maybe we should keep the membership... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I have been to The Melting Pot. So yummy! I like Trader Joe's but the only one in the area is 40 minutes away with terrible parking and not worth the trip and I can get their most important item, chocolate babka, at Aldi now year-round. We gave up our warehouse membership because I found I could get what I actually need at Gordens Food Service without paying a yearly membership. We have a Sprouts nearby which I think is comparable to TJs, but I don't have a need to go there much. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Trader Joe’s has good COFFEE!!~D I have a love-hate relationship with Costco. I stepped on my cat’s paw. She hasn’t forgiven me. She’s sitting there giving me the Laser Glare of Impending Doom. I told her she shouldn’t walk under my feet. She told me not to put my foot down where she is. I think we are at an impasse. 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only about 10 minutes away, but the same distance as the local coop (in the opposite direction), so the coop is more convenient. But, we mostly go to Smith's. We also have a Sprouts. It's pretty nice! But, we're creatures of habit, so... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJosMom Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I ❤️ Costco. I am glad that Costco is a 45-minute drive away. It is better for the budget. I also ❤️ Trader Joe's.

Renai Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Today, we go to check out the "homeschool program" at the public school. It is actually the Family School program, and kids are considered public school students. They attend school part days (9-2) on Mondays through Wednesdays. They can also participate in the other extras. Grades 1-6 are in the same classroom, there's usually no more than 12 students. I have looked at this option before for Dancer way back when, but really have been looking at it for Gymnast. Last year, her anxiety was too high to consider it, now, she's about ready for it. So, we're visiting. Remind me to buy more cat litter, please. I keep forgetting, and it's getting low. I also have only one Spanish class to teach; it's on insects. Gymnast has a class, then I go pick up groceries. Oh, wait, I have a webinar to attend first, then I'll pick up groceries - ah, we need milk! Sometime today, I need to finish the "reports" (one paragraph each) of the ESL classes I taught this morning. Gymnast has a group violin lesson this evening. That's about it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But by the time I get to that, I am almost at Whole Foods, and I like that better. Melting Pot was close to us when we were in Virginia. In Raleigh or Durham, I think. I wanted to go but it's too expensive. I hear Whole Foods is pretty good, but there is only one and it's on the rich side of town, so we rarely make it over there.

Susan in TN Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I stopped by Kroger for a couple things and they had 6-packs of French marigolds for $2 so now we have marigolds. I am hoping to attract insects that will eat the bird-poop bugs. My chives have made an impressive comeback. I don't think they like the local heat. I cleaned out the mint patch and coddled the Cherokee echinacia in hopes that they will grow back. The Ceasar's Brothers irises are looking good and I am hopeful that they will bloom this year. Sadly, Ruby and Barb are no longer with us. Some of the strawberry plants are blooming and I will humor them this spring and summer, but I don't hold much hope for getting to eat any actual strawberries from them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) I went to Lowe's. Bought some things. Went to Michael's - almost needed an intervention, but not quite. I like Hobby lobby, better. Went to Costco. Almost committed murder-by- shopping cart. There was this big, cluless family there just wondering around, not paying any attention, then they'd huddle in the middle of the aisle and try to figure out what they wanted to buy.....I about ran them all over.

Susan in TN Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Ds23 is going to the library for free tax preparation. I hope he qualifies even though he lives at home and was still claimed as our dependent for 2018. Since he is self-employed, TurboTax will charge like $80 to file his taxes and he doesn't feel confident about doing it himself. Dd12 is sooooooooo moody lately. Hormones, I'm guessing. It is wearing. me. down. I need to practice music, do the glider, have the kids practice group music, have more coffee, and get dinner ready. 3 hours isn't enough time, but I will make an attempt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
