Happy Wednesday and welcome back to That's the Point podcast. It's a beautiful day here in Middle Tennessee, and we hope wherever you are listening, it is beautiful, it is bright.

You know, a lot of the world is experiencing snow right now. You're right. Yeah. And I think that's actually pretty cozy. I wish we were experiencing a little bit of snow, too. Really? Yeah. I like a good snow dump. I don't think we're going to get one dump this whole year. Now, Kristen, February is our coldest month. We are bound to get at least one dump in February. I bet we'll get no dumps. Okay.

Ten bucks. Okay. Ten bucks. You know we love betting. I love a good bet and I love winning bets over

you. So, uh, let's do it. Ten bucks, we get no dump. Ten bucks, you're on, girl. Okay,

girl. Okay, girl. Uh, speaking of bucks, you and I spent some bucks this week.

We did. You don't know what I'm talking about. No. You're like, we did at Costco.

Yes. Your first experience at Costco in how many years? Ten? Or first ever? No, I've never been to Costco.

My mom always had Sam's. Sam's. Yeah, Sam's. Okay, so what were your thoughts? Because you've been begging me to take you and I finally, you know, bent and was like, okay, let's go. Come on. I know. John has really been gatekeeping his Costco membership, I will say. It's not that I'm gatekeeping. It's that now you know it's like when you go to Costco, you're in a mental headspace where it's like you're on a mission and like to try and like show somebody Costco and like help them out. You have to have a lot of time to do so. Yeah, we definitely didn't have enough time for me to snag a membership. But you will be. Oh, yeah, for sure. I think it's time. I definitely think it's time. It's just crazy the deals at Costco. I know. I mean, you guys should have seen Kristen. I was going feral. Yeah, it was like a kid at Disney World for the first time. Her eyes were so wide. And she kept just throwing things in the cart,

throwing them, throwing them. And I was loving it. I was like, yep, this is why Costco is Costco.

And the thing is, though, I didn't really get to hit up the produce or the like meat section.

Yeah, you missed out major. Yeah. The thing about Costco is that you do have to have a lot of storage space because you're buying everything in bulk. Yeah. The thing about Costco is that you do have to have a lot of storage space because you're buying everything in bulk. And that is where I don't think me and Costco mesh. Right. But that's why I told you, you go to Costco once a month for the things you need in bulk. And that's such a good price. They had great kid snacks. The best snacks. I got new protein shakes. Did you like those? I really did. They're good, right? They're really good. Yeah. It was just a fun time. But the real reason I wanted to go was the hot dog. $1.50 special hot dog and soda. Oh. It was so good. I mean, you can't even get a gas station hot dog. $1.50 special hot dog and soda. It was so good. I mean, you can't even get a gas station

hot dog for $1.50. That's the cheapest hot dog in America. Incredible. And it's with a Coke.

Hello. Hello. You really can't go wrong. So yeah, that was really fun. Thank you for bringing me

along with you. You're so welcome. We actually went after last week's show. And I'm just waiting for you to send me a picture with your Costco membership card. I know. I'm going to feel like a real mother when I step into Costco with my membership card. I know. The first time I felt like a real mother was when I got my card too. It's pretty great. Yeah. It's like, okay,

you're an adult now. You're shopping at Costco wholesale. Exactly. Wait a second. What?

That just made me realize. What? Is it because it's all wholesale? Yes. So you're getting the wholesale

prices? Yeah, basically. Because you're basically shopping at a warehouse.

You, not basically, you are shopping at a warehouse, you know?

Very interesting.

Very interesting.

I'm sure the listeners are riveted.
