Before I talk about Costco, I just want to say that I missed it over here and until I figure out what I’m doing, I will stay at WP instead of blogger. Actually, I think we (by “we” I mean DH) will be registering The Tabler Family.com and then downloading the WP software and do our blog that way. I actually have a lot more to say than just kid/family stuff, but that’s how he wants it. I’ll let him do it….I’m nice like that. Okay….off to my story about Costco….

Have you shopped at Costco? It’s only the best place EVER!
About 2 years ago, Bob bought himself a 32″ flat screen Vizio TV. It was a pretty TV with a great picture. Bob loved the HD (what man doesn’t?). Well, recently it was getting a “burned” linear image on both sides of the screen. He was really bummed and made a tech call to Vizio. After a couple emails they requested that he get the purchase information for them. Off to Costco we went.
Last Saturday, we went up to the lady at the counter and she was happy to look up the purchase information (since they have GREAT customer service). She was looking at it and non-chalantly said “why don’t you just bring it back here?” Bob and I looked at each other and he grinned. Then she said the best words in man’s language “you could probably even get a bigger once since the prices have really dropped since you got this.” Bob’s little head started turning and he was like a little kid in a toy store. Off we went to the electronics department so he could see what his new purchase could be!
We looked and talked and decided he could probably get a 37″ TV. He was very happy with this and wanted to go right home to get the old TV and get it exchanged. LOL! Unfortunately, we had made other promises to the kids and had to take a trip to Toys R Us first.
Come Sunday, he loaded up the TV and took Anthony to Costco. He was gone for a bit. When he drove up I met him at the door. He had a big ole grin on his face. “Guess what?! I was able to get a 42″ TV!!!!” If a man could giggle…he would have been giggleing! AND he upgraded our membership card to where we will get a rebate in the mail (I think it’s a percentage of your annual purchases…so we will get a rebate on money we actually spent 2 years ago) AND he brought home a $69 cash card for the store (which I used to get some groceries).
How awesome is Costco?? Here are some pictures:
