The other day I went to Costco at Northlakes. A big American brand company here in Brissie? I had to check it out. These were my top 6 emotions whilst at Costco.
1. Shock
When I entered, I was in awe. Seriously, you know how Bunnings is big? Well, Costco was about 5 times bigger! At least! Everything was piled in bulk, sky-high! And super sized. I was stunned!
2. Excitement!
Did I just see what I thought I did? Stuff I like in bulk ?? These are so much cheaper than individual packets at the local stores!..- That Black Forest cake? Twice as big and half the price! Time to buy a few things!
3. Slight disappointment
Not much of a health food section. Organic cold pressed coconut oil (check!), some alternative flours, chia seeds and spirulina (check!)? Yep. Pretty much nothing else that I could find.
4. Joy?
Did I just see a Vitamix? Seriously?! They have everything in here, from food, to appliances, to warehouse tools and…I just saw a Vitamix. It’s a sign. Must put that on my shopping list for next time.
5. More joy??
I smell food! Hotdogs and choc-cherry sundaes for sale and the servings are HUGE! I hope I don’t tip this sundae that’s already starting to leak. It’s tough juggling a big box with a sundae in tow.
6. Satisfaction
Well… I think I’ll be back. It has been quiet an interesting shopping trip. Lots of lollies, food platters etc… pretty much anything you can imagine. A big tick! I’ll definitely be going back and seeing the Christmas stock soon. Why don’t you go and have a visit and tell me what you think? Slight warning though, you may need at least an hour. Getting lost will happen frequently or distractions may occur!

December 22, 2014 at 4:26 pmHello Kevin. I am very sorry for the late reply as I have only just realised there was a comment! Thankyou for reading. It is better to go to Costco on the weekday as it is very packed, let alone at Christmas time. I hope this helps:)
