It's just Costco. If I go to Loblaws my list is organized in order of the aisles, if I go to the market I have target prices to haggle for and margins of acceptable variance, in both cases I'm fast enough that I leave the car double parked and running. Costco though, Costco brings out my inner-wench, in Costco I walk every aisle dragging my unwilling child behind me, struggling to tempt her with the prospect of being able to carry a case of Ziploc bags or of being able to ride home on new tyres. Yesterday I went so far as to whimsically purchase an appliance I knew wouldn't fit in the car (as it would already be as full as an egg with things from the shopping list) without unpacking it and binning the wrappings in the car park. If it turns out not to work that'll test their return policy!

Never. She walks every aisle in any store, No Frills occupies her for a couple of hours. Taking her to Costco would be like taking her to a tack store, hours of tedium leading to credit card meltdown.

That so true. I stopped shopping there for that reason. You can save a lot but have to be disciplined.
