Today I went to Costco to get a membership and a vacuum cleaner, among other things. (Mom had been paying for my membership previously but I decided that maybe I'm old enough now to pay for my own membership). Costco is a warehouse store where you can buy large volumes of stuff at reduced prices. The joke was that in Switzerland, you would pay twice as much for half as much (the anti-Costco).
However, I'm not ready to buy tons of stuff at bargain prices. Although that's what I'd do in Zürich. If my laundry detergent was on sale and I had a free hand, I would buy it. And then I ended up giving away two bottles of the stuff when we moved. I don't know why, but I'm just not ready to do it here.

I really, really miss Costco.
Yes, Costco can sometimes be considered a contact sport! But, there is hope...after years of membership and countless shopping experiences, I have learned to "dive and drive"...Rule number one: leave Yeh Yeh home! Rule number two: remember your shopping list. Rule number three: don't look around! Get what is on the list and GET OUT! Words of wisdom from old Nai Nai!
GL -- Costco was very important when we were in the diaper and wipe stage. Maybe I'm not ready to fill the apartment with stuff right now because it's so empty and it would be depressing to have huge packages of toilet paper and paper towels and no furniture.
It is really a nice post for following us.
