Lucky you Uni having a Costco.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

went to Costco today spent over $400
Love Costco. My BF is a member and we go together occasionally. I bought handy towel, baking paper, soy sauce.
Do they still have the tastings at the end of the aisles Uni?

Costco is great but you have to buy in bulk or bigger quantities than normal for eg instead of buying one loaf of bread you have to buy two and milk is in 3 litres which is usually ok. I find Coles and Woolworths are lowering their prices now to try and compete with Costco cause a lot of the prices aren't often much cheaper

Every year I write to Aldi asking for a store in Cairns. Every year they politely  tell me no can do.

I'm so excited :)
My new space heater was installed today. It has been such a cold winter and our reverse cycle airconditioner just hasn't been able to cope.
