Trolly milestone

Saturday’s Costco visit (visit #5) not only bore us the fine fruits of wholesale berries (6kg/$41), sugar snap peas (1kg/$7.95) and Eye Fillet (5kg/$106), but also a milestone in our bargain-hunting adventures. For the 1st time ever, we utilized the lower shelf of our supersized trolley. Victory!

Our observations to date have seen this ledge service a number of needs, most frequently screeching, obnoxious (and more often than not obese) children who are outraged that their somewhat reasonable parents have not allowed them to take home a double king-size pack of Nutella. Get over it fatty. The 12-pack of iced doughnuts sitting centimeters above your head will surely be sufficient in making you even less attractive to the opposite sex in the years to come.

Other lower shelves carried several bags of 20kg rice, lifetime supplies of incontinence pads and years worth of 1L Head ‘n’ Shoulders shampoo bottles.

Our lower shelf supported our beloved slab of Coke Zero, which turns out to be far cheaper then buying 1.5L bottles. Well worth banging elbows with some of the less refined Costco regulars.
