Re: You got 30 Minutes

Why does everyone associate "treehugger" whenever you bring up organic food?

Because only damn dirty hippies eat it.

Re: You got 30 Minutes

You should at least give it a shot. It can be very worthwhile, even if you don't buy a ton.

I don't see how. I'd have to drive to one, pay to shop there, and then not have access to the products I like.

Heck, their free samples alone were almost worth it.

I don't eat free samples. Community food grosses me out.

Plus, they'll refund your membership fees if you aren't happy, so you don't really have much to lose by going to one and trying it out except your time.

I've been to one before with my mother. It's just not for me.

So you're not going to read the post at all. ok.

Perhaps. But, these samples are cooked and watched right there in front of you. If you don't trust it, you can watch it go from package to sample yourself.

What leads you to believe I didn't read? Just because I can get a refund on the membership doesn't mean that the other things aren't an issue for me.

I'm not that invested in trying free samples of food at the grocery store. I mean, I realize it's some kind of event for some people, but it's really not my thing.

I like to shop locally when I can and buy fresh high-quality products when I can't. Costco is not the place to do that.

So I am working with this young lady that is working through enochlophobia. Her goal was to get a job by the time she turned 17, so she applied at the local Costco and got one. The manager was contacted and informed that she shouldn't be put on the registers, at least for now. So where do they put her? On samples!! OMG! have you seen how people swarm the stores on the weekends just for the samples!? Many times you can't even get near the food because people are stacked up three deep around the sample person! This poor child was quickly overwhelmed and my heart went out to her.

Re: You got 30 Minutes

Alright, Murphie. You can mock it, but I've discovered quite a few things I enjoy much more than what I had been using through free samples.

If you're alright with missing out on many nice things in life because you're too good to try free things, it's your loss, not mine.

I'm sure my life is truly lacking because I didn't try out the new seasoned beef patties this weekend at the local Costco. It's all so clear to me now.

Re: You got 30 Minutes

It's ok Murphie, I don't go for free samples, either. I have a whole bunch of food related paranoias, though.

Ooo ok now this sounds interesting! Specifics?

Re: You got 30 Minutes

I don't trust people giving away free food. I don't really trust anybody giving away free anything.

Though it helps if I grab it when they're not looking and run. That makes me feel like I earned it somehow.
