Hey, let's take a look at just a few of the standouts Costco has to offer nowadays. Let's go!!

Oh, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, in paperback


A huge set of children's classics


A children's set of Adirondack chairs. Sweet!!


Cases of Dr. Pepper


And now down a floor, to the food, meat, produce and bakery items. Lets go!!

Country Time Lemonade. They also had Cool Aid


Starbucks roasted 2 pound coffee beans


40 count flour tortillas. A mainstay!!


Waffles


Sharp cheddar. Need I say more?

Yeah, Costco is the best for standard Western needs.

About the Jager, the manager at the local Kwik-E-Mart started selling the big bottles of Jag. Strange.

The deli and bakery deserve their own section. So let's go!!


Andouille Sausage


A variety of deli meats. Notice the sliced cooked ham at bottom right


Cheeses


Brie, gouda, and others


Bagels- plain, onion and blueberry. 12 for less than 5,000w


Fresh muffins


Corriander- also known as cilantro or Chinease parsley. Hard to find!!


Canadian maple syrup


And finally, the food court, at which no shopping trip is complete without a chicken bake and hot dog set.


Thanks for shopping at Costco!!

Yes, actually. A month ago I bought a Sony Cybershot DSC-M2, seen here, from Best Buy online for about $430 including a 1 GB memory stick. I saw the same video/still shot hybrid camera at Costco last week for 250,000w, minus the memory stick. I'm still kicking myself.

Now if you really wanted to get people salivating, you should have went by the meat section with that camera.
