I went to Costco this weekend.  That was a big mistake.  First off, it seemed every person within a tri-state area had the same idea.  I was fortunate to find a parking spot. 

My troubles didn’t end there, either.  I had my list and I was on a mission; I was there to purchase a turkey and pies and then I was out of there.  Then—and I’m sure there was some evil plot afoot that tripped me up—I got waylaid by the free samples.  To put it mildly, I ended up purchasing more than a turkey and pumpkin and apple pie.  The way I figure it, our bird cost us around $25.00 a pound!
