Costco...an infertile woman's heaven

I will admit I didn't want to write reports today. In fact I am contemplating giving it my best half assed effort and calling it a day. So this morning I was totally up for a long trip to a book sale and Costco.

Costco is a mecca for me. It's familiar and sells American products. Where else in Melbourne can you get lunch for $8 and that feeds 2 people? We go about 3-4 times a year depending on needs or taking friends etc. About a year ago my brother and sister in law got nice sweatpants/trackpants there and I felt the need to get some. I found this to be the prefect excuse to go to Costco. Sadly I didn't get any because they didn't have any I liked. But I did manage to get enough toilet paper to survive any short term emergency crisis.

Paper plates are a huge joke in our house since my family was out in December. A couple months earlier I bough paper plates foreseeing I wouldn't want to do a lot of dishes. Then Simon went while they were here and thought we were out of paper plates. That is how I ended up with over 500 paper plates at my house. I have used them at every available opportunity and still haven't run out. However, this didn't seem to stop us from buying more today. We are set for clean plates if we happen to never be able to wash dishes for the next couple of months.

One of my favourite reason for going to Costco is beauty/health/cleaning products are such a great buy. Trash bags don't go bad and I have found it just easier/cheaper to buy in bulk. The best deal hands down by far is shaving cream. I haven't figured out why yet but a bottle of shaving cream in a supermarket is like $8 on sale. At Costco you can get 3 cans for $12!!! WOOHOO!

Now if you have survived this long you will understand the title of this post. For years now whenever we have walked down the health aisle we have always giggled at the massive box of condoms. Then being equally opportunist that we are we giggle at the massive box of pregnancy tests. I have always said "who needs to buy pregnancy tests in bulk?". YEP MEEEEEEEEEE!! At $5 a test I can pee to my heart's content! Then became the question of how many do you buy. Let's just say I didn't buy enough if I thought atomic armageddon was happening but I am set for a little while.

I still reserve the right to giggle about the massive box of condoms!
