From previous posts you would know food has been a bit of an issue. Two train rides and a 13 stop bus ride we made it to COSTCO. It took an hour. We were so excited. It was like two kids in a candy store. I'm pretty sure I did a happy dance in a few of the isles. OK I'm not going to lie I actually jumped up and down, clapped my hands, and may have squealed.
The food was still expensive compared to American standards but a little more doable. Except for the Tbone steaks. This Texan is going to have to live without her steaks for a bit. $88 for two not very great looking steaks is a bit much. We kept loading the cart and loading the cart. We kept saying how are we going to get this home, but it didn't stop us from continuing to pack the cart.
Those bags were heavy! You can't see the full duffle bag Scott has strapped to his back. We did make it home. We struggled through bus and train stations lugging our goodies, laughing and huffing and puffing all the way. I'm pretty sure the crazy American comment got said at least once or twice. We ended up caving on the last part of the walk home and took a cab. The best $7.30 we have ever spent. We are going to have to figure out a better way to get to CostCo.
Now that is some dedicating shopping.
