The Good Costco
Since we moved here, right next door to the primordial Costco, we have shopped at that original location. And I've been disappointed by the original location. Parking is always ass, and the store is small (or seems so) and doesn't have the selection or variety that I've experienced at other Costcos. But, we're lazy, so we never really sought out the other area locations.
Until today! Richard wanted to stop in at CompUSA over at Totem Lake, so we decided to try to find the Woodinville Costco with the new GPS system. I'm so glad we did -- I don't think I'll ever go back to the Kirkland location again. The Woodinville location is nicely laid out. It has a gas station, and it has a nice bakery, meat counter, wine section, and fresh foods section. So! I came home with a bunch of good stuff, most of which went in the freezer or is destined for there. I bought 6lbs of cranberries that I'm picking through, washing and freezing for Cranberry orange bread throughout the year. I also picked up some bulk spices -- I was right when I was telling Leslie that it's often cheaper to buy the larger quanitity spices at Costco than it is to buy a smaller jar of spices at the store. I got big containers of Italian seasoning and Cinnamon there for less than I'd pay for a small jar at the grocery store. Win-win there.
