A Few Weeks ago I did a demo in a Costco downtown....
I almost could Not help but to fall in Love with the Prices... the deal on toys, games and of course the FOOD!
However the one thing I really Really Loved about Salt Spring Island was there was no Walmart or McD's!
I am not saying we never shopped at Walmart, Sams Club, and Bj's ....when we are our business it was easy to make a quick trip to one of the Big Box Stores... to pick up the Oh Shit item I forgot to order.
Also with a family of 5 ..sometimes its hard to not go to Walmart or Sams Club to buy the most popular toy your child wants, or to do that one stop shopping of everything to a oil change to bread and milk. I remember when we lived in Gastonia and they built the Walmart on our side of town. We were drawn to it! I cringed almost every time we went in...filled with aggressive shoppers, veggies looking on their last leg and really that meat has had that yellow sticker how long? For awhile it become a habit and just so easy to go for whatever you needed. We slowly broke the habit of going almost every week, But we still did shop there, just not as often.
So anyways, I have been off the Big Box Stores for 2 & half years now.... and Today I broke down and Bought a Costco membership.. a whooping $55 CADs.
Not sure if that is a good thing or not....
However there is a 40" Samsung Flat Screen TV for under $500 CAD's I have my eye on!
