Why Costco Is GREAT!

Ok, I know I need to post a real post, and I'm going to, I promise. However, I was headed to Costco today so I looked through the coupon book they send each month. They had a coupon in there for Buy One Get One Free seasons of X-Files and Stargate: SG1. We aren't so much for X-Files, but Marcus LOVES Stargate (I will admit it is growing on me to where I will actually suggest watching it.) I figured that since it was a B1G1F coupon the seasons would probably be close to suggested retail of around $50/season. That adds up when you still need seasons 3 - 10. I figured if it was a decent price I would get 3 and 4 for him. So I get there and look at the price. Imagine my surprise when I see they are $24.99 per season. With the B1G1F coupon it made them $12.50! $12.50 for a full season of anything is awesome. So we bought all 8 of the seasons we didn't have. 8 full seasons cost us $100.00 - at the Amazon price, which I usually consider pretty good, those 8 seasons would have cost us $240. Those are the visits that remind me why I like Costco!

I'm so proud of you for remembering your coupons! Mine usually end up expiring on my kitchen counter.

(do you really suggest watching Stargate?! hahaha)
