Traveling through Costco

I have learned through the years to always check Costco before making a large purchase or transaction. My bride and I decided to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary on a cruise with friends. I spent an inordinate amount of time shopping the web for the lowest price. Low and behold Costco Travel offered the best value on a Celebrity Cruise to the Caribbean. $749.00 with a $50 room credit for a 7 night eastern itinerary. Booking through the Costco web site was a breeze, like every transaction made at Costco. If you are in the market for a cruise or all-inclusive resort, make sure you check the travel section at Costco. You won’t be disappointed.




Getting Older

Well, as it turns out as I'm getting closer to the 40, I'm finding that I need to purchase some glasses for reading and my computing work. Additionally, it's getting to be a struggle to see those little screws in the remote control toys my kids have. Last week, I ventured to Costco's optical department and went through the rigors of the modern eye exam.

Today, I returned to Costco to order my specs. Much to my surprise, I'd almost label these things as cheap. The cost didn't compare to what I had in mind before I had went shopping around. I found some great frames, which probably fit better than they look, but I didn't spend an arm and a leg. When you walk away with your prescription, Costco doesn't push you right out the door to make a purchase, which I think is probably great that the optometrist is independent. I'll encourage you, shop around if you must, but if you find frames that you like at the store, grab them, they are very affordable. Additionally, I purchased a second pair with a $25 dollar savings, which was a nice little bonus.

 Keep it up Costco, always competitive and with great service.

Costco Sweet Potato Fries

Costco has their sweet potato fries on special this month through an instant rebate. The net cost before tax is $4.99 for a 4 pound bag. We eat these fries with hamburgers, salmon burger and Costco fish sticks. They are great dipped in Litehouse Bleu Cheese dressing. These fries contain zero grams of trans fat per serving and are a good source of vitamins A and C. And they are cholesterol free to boot!
