I believe she meant would never drive up to Costco..guess she does not like Cosco. some people do and some don't...I did like Sam's club. and once I went to cosco with my sis , the only thing I liked threre was their hot dogs..LOL..
Hmmm.. Again, Costco doesn't interest me at all.. We are only the 2 of us, and I can't buy large quantities of anything.. Besides, where I do my weekly food shopping, there is a Supermarket called Freshco that is a discount shop, and that is where I do most of my food shopping.. Excellent prices and not in large quantities.. Only 30 minutes from my house..
I'm not keen on Costco either...when I worked out the annual cost of membership there wasn't much savings to be had after I drove a 40 mile round trip to our nearest one. I used to buy from there about twice a year but really , like you Steve, there's only 2 of us here so it's not really cost effective...especially as there's no cheaper petrol garage at our Costco either to save on fuel..
I think we made our point about Costco.. If we have a large family and we live close by, perhaps, but if we are only 2 and we have to travel very long distances, it doesn't pay.. It is now -13c out and we had a light dusting of snow overnight and yesterday.. Our village is overflowing with people who came here for the week-end to snowmobile, ice fish, hockey games at our arena, cross country ski. snowshoe, or just enjoy the out-of-doors activities that is going on this week-end like every week-end during the winter..... Our restaurants were totally packed last night.. All of our Motels and B&B's are full.. I saw over 100 snowmobiles in town last night.. They all need gas, food, and lodging.. Now you know what I mean when I say we need cold and snow for this to happen every week-end.. This brings load$ of $$$ into out small village...............
that's good news Steve, Sounds like its a very popular Village,, its always good to bring in some revenue into a town.. Now , if you want to see a good movie and like dogs..here is an excellent moving movie to see.. you may shed a tear or two. But it has a good ending mind you. .. Its called A Dog's Purpose and Dennis Quaid is also in the movie.. we went today , which is Sunday and its also senior discount day too, here is the trailer....
I mean I wouldn't drive in Raleigh, @Holly Saunders . Some of those roads are eight lanes wide and people drive like they are crazy. If someone is in the far left lane and wants to exit, they will zoom across all the lanes, dodging in and out of traffic. There are accidents there every day. My poor heart couldn't stand it. Maybe your friend could come to my house and meet me. I ain't goin' up there to meet her! Steve, I'm glad y'all are getting snow. I wish you could take pictures to show us your snow. I LOVE looking at snow from the warmth of my office. Louise, that sounds like a good movie. I'll try to see it. Will I need a box of Kleenex?
OMG!!! OMG!! 8 lanes wide...????.....Ours are 4 lanes wide and that's bad enough with them zooming across from the fast lane and dodging in and out...I don't blame you I would never want to drive in that type of traffic either. I had no idea Raleigh was such a big place..Dona my friend, has never said it was so big..she lives in the woods on the outskirts..lol
A lot of people live sort of in the outskirts. That's why there is so much traffic. They have to drive to get to their jobs. There are people who live near me who drive to work in Raleigh. On a good day, that's about a forty five - fifty minute drive. On a bad day, don't ask.
bring 2 boxes of Kleenex. Shirley, but that is only for during the movie, But by the end you will be sooo happy. LOL and I did not know Raleigh was so huge,!! Sounds like Chicago!! where I lived in Illinois , I was about 50 miles from Chicago, but now its just like Raleigh sounds like with 8 lane highways. I too would creep out , I hate that kind of interstates and all those lanes, makes me a nervous wreck!!
wonder where everyone is?? they will be here later I guess.. Hope your enjoying your Birthday all day Today Kate,,!!!!
