A Familiar Shopping Experience Arrives in Australia

COSTCO opened its first Australian store in Melbourne recently.

DH and I were excited by this as we were very familiar with the COSTCO experience from our Seattle days. In fact, we used to live right near the COSTCO HQ and the nearest store was about a 5 minute drive away.

So it has been an impatient wait ever since COSTCO fisrt announced they were coming down under. DH just loves COSTCO and when they opened just before his recent birthday, it was only fitting that his birthday present included COSTCO membership.

His latest work assignment saw him just a very short drive from the Melbourne store so he has been able to stop by there on his way home.

And what did he buy?

Just the usual stuff one gets at a supermarket

a Pack of 48 toilet rolls

8 boxes of tissues

Oysters

216 freezer bags

2 bedside tables......

Yes...bedside tables... we have been looking for replacement bedside tables for about 12 months and finally found just the thing in COSTCO!

And the most recent acquistion has been new glasses for DH! Yep, one can buy almost everything at Costco.
