Need a Hand?
Your Next Project Starts with Brownstoner
I came pretty damned close to having a nervous breakdown in the Brooklyn Costco. Seriously. Couldn’t go back for YEARS. Went a few months ago with Arkady, totally different experience. I think she’s got a Costco magic touch that allows it to be a peaceful place and a good shopping experience. Never mind American Express. When it comes to Costco, don’t leave home without Arkady.
*rob* is really riding my a*s today (nh)!!!
Hey, *butterfly*, the overpriced hot dogs I got at The Landing were fantastic. Your choice of all beef or apple-smoked chicken hot dogs. All organic of course. And they weren’t too expensive. Only $5 / hot dog and totally worth it. What a great dinner to have on my walk home on the new BBP path. . . . If only I’d been wearing my blue jeans, sneakers and t-shirt, it would’ve been perfect!

Dave, are you writing a limerick? There is a special prize with your name on it!
I am going to write one and if I win, I would like a TIARA, please.
MM, more power to you. I used to LOVE Costcos when I was in KC and shopped there all the time, (trying not to give in to impulse buying – hard…) but in Brooklyn, it is a total nuthouse. I figured that the combination of the yearly fee and the fact that I was a quivering bag of nerves every time I ever came out of there — was enough to swear me off the bargains there. Also, in KC I used to be able to buy WINE. Good stuff and way cheaper than elsewhere.

(Will resist evil comment about what Rob might be eating in his old age.)
Regarding gourmet overprice pet food: Whenever I can get to Costco I buy their Kirkland dry catfood. It’s exactly the same as Science Diet for a fraction of the cost. Science Diet is somewhere around $22 for a 7 lb bag, Costco is around $18 for a 20 lb bag. My guys love it, and their digestion is better than cheaper quality brands. It probably comes out of the same hopper in the factory, just different bags. I would bet their Kirkland dog food is also equivelent to a premium brand. It amazes me what people will pay for pet food.
LOSERS! Are you working on your LIMERICKS for HOT BIRD on Thursday night? Hmm?
and both pedigree and come and get it are both crappy, but one is a little better. the really good dog food (supposedyl good) seems crazy overpriced but i do occassionaly get it for him
