Do you belong to Costco? If so, are you as obsessed as many people seem to be with this store?
We are not members of Costco yet, but one of their representatives has been in contact with me promoting the grand opening of another store in the Milwaukee area. Currently the closest Costco stores to us are pretty far out in Pewaukee, or Menomonee Falls, or the one in Grafton. But on Friday, November 6th the New Berlin location is opening which will be closer than the rest. So maybe it's a sign that we are finally supposed to buy a membership!
Not only that, but the contact from Costco has sent us a few care packages to try some of their products. The Kirkland brand dried blueberries and their applesauce pouches are definitely favorites for the kids and I am partial to the granola they sent us. Yes, their stuff is sold in bulk but apparently we do not have an issue consuming it all in record time.
To help spread the word about the New Berlin, WI store opening on Friday 11/6, Costco wants to provide one reader with a gigantic gift basket of Kirkland Signature items. Seriously, it looks enormous and when I saw the list of items in the basket I became even more envious: granola bars, animal crackers, microwave popcorn, Saigon cinnamon, Starbucks coffee, organic maple syrup, honey bear, body wash, applesauce, steak strips, baby wipes, fruit snacks, trail mix, body soap, body lotion, disinfecting wipes, organic strawberry spread, flushable wipes, facial tissue, Belgium chocolates, mayonnaise, vanilla, chocolate chips, chocolates around the world, and organic salsa.
The motherlode of gift baskets:
If you are in the Milwaukee area and you would be able to pick up the gift basket at the New Berlin location (15300 West Grange Ave, New Berlin WI 53151), enter in the Rafflecopter giveaway below to win that baby. We will probably go to the store ourselves to sign up and check out the new location, and then we will have to restructure our grocery purchasing methods to include bulk buys.
