A couple of months ago the Missus was in Green Bay on other business and made a trip to the local Costco, signed-up and reconnoitered the store. She didn't purchase anything but briefly scouted the arrangement. As she described it - If you could call it an arrangement.
Last month we were in the Naked City for family stuff, stayed overnight, ran some errands at the Mayfair Mall, stopped in Manitowoc on the way home and finished with a stop at the Green Bay Costco.
We did a more in-depth scouting of the arrangement. Clothing heaped on pallets, small kitchen utensils sharing shelves with furniture. Cell phones and gas grills side by side, an Optical Department and much more. IYK - YK. Anyway, with a few more visits we'll probably get the lay of the land. And while I haven't much use for ginormous haunches of beef, or a platoon-sized bag of frozen won tons; the produce looked great, same for the freshly-made chicken pot pies and rotisserie chicken salad. Too bad I already purchased shrimp for the New Year festivities. I did pick-up a 40 pack of AA batteries for $19.99 (trail cameras) and a two pint container of blue berries for $3.79 Absolutely excellent pricing! The Missus picked up some Christmas presents for herself and we both agreed that the World's Largest Retail Pumpkin Pie was a bargain at $5.99. If I had a family with three growing children I'd be at Costco on a near weekly basis.
We get to Green Bay with sufficient frequency that it makes sense to start a Costco shopping list for bulk items.
And I got added to the plan on that visit and have my own ID. Benefits of membership.
