bulk fear

we are making a last trip to costco before the baby arrives.....and i have bulk fear. we are essentially going for vitamins, specifically adult multi-vitamin gummies. we buy them in bulk and they are so much cheaper at costco than the drugstore. we have a set, 1 item list to go into the store with, and no real money to buy at random, and nothing we specifically need, yet we will still buy random crap. costco is the easiest place on earth to blow a few hundred dollars on stuff you didn't know you needed and for sure didn't need in bulk until you saw it there.

wish us luck today.

LIST GOING IN: multi-vitamins

LIST COMING OUT: multi-vitamins - check!
raisin bread (often a splurge item when we go)
quiche and chicken pot pie (supper for the week)
toilet paper (easy to justify....we have never bought and not used this item)
sour keys (100% not needed and not even related to pregnancy needs)
coffee (justifiable item....we gave up our tim cards to make from home)
spinach dip (a new weekly item in the house.apparently we like to dip)

glad you got sour keys

Nothing on this list sounds unreasonable to me.

Anytime you feel bad about your own frivolous spending, give me a call and I can entertain you with stories of buying lots of expensive crap on a whim. You'll feel better then. :)
