After my last post about how much I love Costco (although, I must say, I am NEVER getting the Costco flu shot again. From now on, I pay FULL PRICE for the flu vaccine, dude!), a nice person named Kimberly sent me a link her to blog, which (I kid you not), is called "Addicted to Costco," and has the most amusing commentary about the hilarious products they carry there.
This post, about a fish tank coffee table, made me laugh out loud, especially when she starts musing about how bad the table must smell, and wondering– "how do you feed the fish?" This one, about $9,000 Costco playhouses, is also worth a read.
Note–this is the part where my friend Rachel will say in the comments "in my hometown, you actually CAN buy a house for $10,000."
Oh, and by the way, I forgot to mention that the last time I was at Costco (on Tuesday, ok?), they had this giant display of player pianos– eight or nine of them– right in the middle of the store. Yeah, player pianos. The kind they used to have in Swenson’s, or that your weird grandpa might have at his house, to swear there was a ghost tickling the ivories. This really took me be surprise, because a) I didn’t even know they were MAKING player pianos anymore, much less eight or nine different varieties, and b) I had no idea that the DEMAND for this product would warrant them being carried at Costco. I’m just saying, you really learn something new every day about the residents of Los Angeles. Apparently, ALOT of them have player pianos in their homes.
