If you read my Back To School Countdown post last week, you’ll know that Scott’s been in the States for the last 10 days. He gets home tomorrow and let’s just say that tomorrow can’t come quick enough.
Parenting on your own is bloody hard work and while I’m exhausted, I’m also in complete and utter awe of all the single parents out there who do it on their own day in and day out. Seriously, you guys are amazing and definitely deserve a holiday…or at the very least a visit to the toilet that doesn’t get interrupted!
But back to Scott’s trip away. Earlier in the week I received a text message from him that went a little something like this:
Shame you’re off the booze. Check this Costco bargain out.
Ok, so two things.
First thing: Yes, Scott did a quick trip to Costco AND took photos while he was there. I know. So random.
Second thing: Yes, that is a 2 litre bottle of Bombay Sapphire, which you can pick up for the bargain price of 31 bucks!
Then he sends me this photo, with the caption Or how about a bag of corn chips as long as my torso for $4?
I mean, why not? They’re cholesterol free and have no preservatives, so they’re basically a health food. I’ll take two!
By this stage I’m getting a little bit excited by the size and the price of all things US Costco (Don’t judge. I’ve been locked up at home for 6 weeks, doing nothing but entertaining the kids. I may be going a little bit stir crazy!) So I text him back saying, What else have they got? This could make for a very funny blog post!
Scott then sends me what can only be described as a barrage of photos, all of which made me laugh because
a) how funny is it to think he and his US work colleague are tearing around Costco trying to find items they think blog readers would be interested in (FYI: your choices are bit 1952…I mean sure, baby wipes, hand sanitiser and general toiletry items are important, but I reckon we’re probably more interested in things like giant boxes of twinkies and bulk supplies of chocolate. Readers, am I right or am I right?!)
and b) THEY’RE TAKING PHOTOS OF IT ALL!
Here’s what Scott thought you all might be interested in:
Excuse me, but we all know how I feel about the word moist!
If that’s the refill, I wonder what the original container looks like? Probably won’t sleep much tonight, thinking about that one.
At first glance I totally thought this was a bulk supply of pads, so I sent Scott a text saying, Um, what’s with the feminine hygiene products?
To which he replied, Um IT’S SOAP. As if I’d be standing in the tampon aisle taking photos!
Yeah, ok. Fair point. Soz.
Need 625 Q-Tips in your life? Costco has you covered!
When Scott sent this one through, I quickly flicked him back a text saying, I hope you picked yourself up a box of those. They’re so expensive here!
To which he replied, Would’ve but they didn’t have the ones I like.
Really? Well I guess that means I might have to make a little trip to the Costco here in Brisbane. Purely for research purposes of course!
Have you ever been to Costco? Did you take photos while you were there? Or were you too busy buying bulk supplies of random items to pick up your phone?!
