Brand New [WEDNESDAY]

We can’t contain ourselves . . . Costco is here.  

I know, I know, there’s one over in Richmond, but let’s face it, that’s a haul.  We’re talking downtown, people.  Like, right under the Georgia viaduct.  

This place is fun.  It’s like being a kid in a candy store.  Just grab one of their giant carts and cruise the aisles.  More brands than you can shake a stick at, all kinds of electronics like plasma TVs, digital cameras, computers and DVD players, clothing for man, woman and baby, gourmet food, fresh meats and produce, kitchen and bathroom supplies, even a pharmacy and 1-hour photo developing and we’re talking rock bottom prices.  

It’s always worth checking out Costco’s own brand called Kirkland for even bigger savings.  Insider tip: Kirkland’s Basil Pesto sauce is - no joke - the best ever, hands down.

Have you entered this week's contest yet? It's for a $150 gift certificate to Tosa Studio for hair colour or highlights,  and whose hair couldn't use a little brightening at this time of year?
