Today was an exciting day. We were starting to run low on enough items that it made sense to attempt a trip to Costco. It had been 5 weeks since we last went and I had seen plenty of news pieces on the line-ups so I knew what I was getting into. I started work early and went at 3:00p. I figured that time would be at least a bit slower than times like the weekend or first thing in the morning. The line-up outside was quite intimidating. It was like a ride at Disneyland where it wrapped around the corner and back and forth. They had turned several parking spots into the line by using palettes and rope and I think the outside line-up took about 40 minutes.
I'm now thinking that the right time to go to Costco is on a rainy day. If it's raining and people have to sit outside I think they will stay away. The nice thing about the trip was that the reason for the line-up was that they had less people in the store. The parking lot wasn't full so I was expecting this. It was easy to find what you wanted and the checkout had zero wait. I even managed to find things like flour though the toilet paper remained elusive.
For dinner we ordered from Edith and Arthur for Kerry, Callie and I and Carter had McDonalds. We are trying to support local where we can.
