Yes, she's quite nice. I think she was sampling the lemon cake today. We went because I wanted to show my husband the tools and see if he wanted any and they had quite the samples today. They had all the manly food-steak, meat balls, sushi (lots), nuts, jelly beans, lemon cake, drink mix...gosh, so much.

They also had very small samples of the makeup. It was just a sheet with a peel-off and a minimal amount under but it was nice to see what they had.

Gas!!!!! Batteries!!!! How did I forget those.

I love sushi, so don't get me wrong, but only in California would sushi be considered a manly food.

It's that whole yuppie California thing...I think. It's funny because people on the East Coast don't go out for sushi like they do here.

I like to add tahini to my hummus. And when I'm looking for a change of pace, some cumin.

Ah, I don't care for tahini, so I leave it out. Cumin -- yes! Good stuff.

I really, really, really miss Stretch-tite. Costco stopped carrying it some months ago and I hate the Kirkland brand of plastic wrap (it has a chemical smell to it). I hope others are complaining; maybe they'll bring Stretch-tite back.

I have never used Stretch-tite but love the Kirkland brand plastic wrap. I think it's great! It doesn't have a chemical smell to it that I can smell. It smells like plastic wrap.

I also like the Dove Intense Moisture shampoo and conditioner at Costco. Love the pump!

I think the free samples are my favorite item

They are my kids' favorites. Anytime you say, "Hey, it's time to hit Costco." they both look at each other and yell, "Samples!"

I always feel so bad to take the samples!

The wine is the best around -- good selection and price although Bevmo is giving it a run for the selection aspect.

Any kind of fresh berry - blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, etc.. Grapes too.

They used to carry the 1.75 liter bottle of Knob Creek -- Nectar of the Gods but haven't seen it there in quite some time much to my disappointment

Also, the photo finishing is great -- send your photos online to the store -- they are ready in 1 hour.

I love the large tubs of hummus

You beat me to it! Breakfast every day! And not a bad price either, that stuff is expensive!

Thanks for this bit of news. We will have to give their photo finishing a try.

I have to say that I don't find their photofinishing to be of very high quality. Oftentimes it's too dark, or too light and just not sharp enough for me. I use Walgreens.com instead.
