No recession at Costco in Honolulu

I went to Costco yesterday around noon and was amazed at the traffic. Isn't there a recession going on? You wouldn't know it by hanging out here. I drove into the parking lot and found dozens of cars driving around looking for spots.

Eventually I gave up and went shopping for other items at Home Depot. After that, I walked over to Costco and found the lot just as jam packed. Since I needed just a few grocery items, I decided to go inside - after I had my favorite chocolate yogurt! If you haven't tried Costco frozen yogurt, it comes in a big cup and the cost at the Oahu stores is $1.41 including tax. That's a deal!

It seems like everybody was looking for a parking space.

By the way, gas was $2.37 at Costco yesterday. Imagine that, more than $2 per gallon less than when we were at our record high prices a couple of months ago.
