bent, I do not use a cart at Costco 90% of the time. Romaine (what a deal they have at Costco), apples, oranges, salmon, broccoli, and once in a while pineapple. When I use a cart I get water and cases of green beans and corn. They keep forever and they are cheaper than the local stores. But, you are right on many items. I never really need a full case of tomatoes, so I buy those local, as well as a lot of other, "normal" sized stuff. Of course I can't eat gluten, so 90% of the food products are off my list anyway. Prices are still good at Costco on many items, but you can still do better shopping for certain things. The specials at my local kick-ass market blow Costco away, but of course you are at the mercy of the manager and what he wants to mark down on any given week. I'm still mad as hell about the reduction in the size of the toilet paper. My dream is to pour 10 ounces of gold through Charlie Munger and to feed an 18 roll pack of toilet paper to Bennie until he explodes like that Charlotte bitch in Willy Wonka. GT TH
