Dining Out at Costco: Healthy Choice Fudgesicles and Samsung HDTV
We went back to Costco with a single-minded purpose – buy a nice flat-screen for Tina’s aunt, who recently moved to an assisted-living facility and left her old tube dinosaur behind. And we ended up getting a great deal on a 21.5-inch Samsung LCD HDTV ($169 with $20 off on sale). After all, college football is coming fast, and she's a huge USC Trojan fan with a mad crush on QB Matt Barkley.
The free samples were more of an afterthought this time – it was, after all, a Tuesday afternoon, traditionally not the best day for free tastes. But we were pleasantly surprised. The bounty far surpassed our last visit, and it tided us over until dinner.
The highlight was clearly a nice portion of Healthy Choice fudgesicle preceded by a double serving of barbecue popcorn chips. Overall, we give it a strong C-plus.
Since we didn’t bring our notepad, we didn’t take down specifics, but we did nosh on the following:
Kirkland canned chicken on white bread
Belgian waffles and maple syrup
Mandarin orange chicken
Gummy bears
Smoked ham
Hawaiian teriyaki chicken
Jamba Juice strawberry smoothie
