Two Brief Last Minute Shopping Tips
1. I hope you’ve already left to go shopping this morning. Oh, you haven’t? Then the day is already lost.
2. But here’s the trick for Saturdays at Costco: Time your trip so that you arrive around 5:30 and can get out of there no later than 6:15. It’s the eye of the “hurricane” — everyone has already checked out and is either heading home for dinner or chowing on Polish sausages and pizza at the Costco food court. You’re in, you’re out, Christmas is done. Sure, Grandma may be looking askance at the 30-pack of Charmin under the tree, but she’ll be thanking you later.
Haha… here in Vegas, my mother just tried to go to Costco to run an errand around 2 pm. She left in frustration about an hour later without even parking. You couldn’t park! There was a caravan of cars futilely trolling the packed parking lot looking for spaces that never opened up.
