Yeah Kelly has that one. If we're making a large purchase, it always goes on her card instead of mine.

I don't believe I saw it last time though when they did have it the price was significantly below that at Bevmo.
Excellent Scotch BTW.

Doesn't Costco offer free lifetime rotation also? I bought my last set of tires there and the guy mentioned to come back in a couple of weeks for a torque check on the lugs. I laughed and asked if anyone actually returns for that. Then the Asian guy behind mentions thats what he was there for, ay caramba

And free flat repair...just don't use fix-a-flat before hand.
Yep yep. I certainly don't hate Costco. And. In the tire sales office, was a brand nea KTM XC250, from Paso Robles KTM (but not out in the store). I tried to get them to throw it in my truck, but they just weren't going for that.

Stupid Danville Costco nixed their Gelato by the cone at the food court. It was $1.50 for 3 giant ass scoops. I didnt get it often but damn that was a deal. Now they are pushing their damn all fruit no sugar smoothie. I tried it. Fucking straw plugs up every other sip. Crap. Just crapity crap crap.

Lol!!! (I know that you are not fat, but when I read your post, that is what i picture).
Sorry for not responding about the price of the Oban. It's on SALE now. 48.99.
The motorcycle on display in the tire center rotates from time to time. I believe it's a Kawasaki KLX250SF or something similar. No, you can't buy it on the spot, but you can buy it through Costco with their negotiated pricing. It's how I bought my car, too.
Five rules to shopping at Costco:
1. Arrive about 15 minutes after opening - at opening it's a cow pen herding everyone to the slaughter chutes.
2. Make a list and stick to it. Do not "shop" at Costco.
3. Make a list and stick to it. Do not "shop" at Costco.
4. Make a list and stick to it. Do not "shop" at Costco.
5. Make a list and stick to it. Do not "shop" at Costco.
If you fail to adhere to 2-5 you will walk out of the place $300+ lighter than you went in every time.

Am I the only one that doesn't impulse buy?
I spend quite a bit of time wandering around there, just looking at crap for sale without buying any of it. I grab the dog food and whatever else I'm shopping for, but how can you not stop and look at all those inexpensive TV's and cameras and stuffed bears holding pistols?

Don't get me wrong. I can walk around in Costco for hours and escape with only what I have on my list. But why in hell would I want to be there shopping instead of doing something I actually enjoy?

I have never considered myself an impulse shopper either. But I will occasionally try a new product at Costco after reasoning it out. I know I'm getting a decent deal and it usually falls within the parameters of something I will definitely use. I think the only thing I can remember ever getting too much of are some kind of stick-on closet lights or some damn thing.

Whether intentional or not, Costco does condition the customer to impulse buy to some extent - many times I've gone back to get something after giving it some thought and found it no longer there.
