Hey, that's new

Costco trip count for November: 15

Browsing the store today, I noticed something I hadn't seen before - an endcap full of Kirkland "Rabbit" corkscrews. Usually I believe these go for about $30-40 with plastic handles, and $50 to over $100 for metal handles. The fact that this one is metal and only $20 in-store really surprised me.

Also of note, Costco is almost overflowing with pies. They're big and relatively cheap, and for being store-made, I think the pecan pie is pretty good. I believe they have pumpkin for $6, caramel apple for $8, and pecan for $10. Tomorrow they'll probably put them in racks at the front of the store for the Thanksgiving rush. If I didn't have T-day plans, I'd probably just sit down with a pie for dinner, washing it down with a big glass of eggnog to usher in the Christmas season. Nog-tastic.:-D

Finally, Tostitos "hint of lime" chips are great. Though they should just be called "lime chips" or something, because there's way more than a hint of limey goodness on them. To quote this review:

If they wanted to, Tostitos could take the lime powder and sell it in dime bags to junkies, Corona drinkers, and Rush Limbaugh.
Yes, they're that good. My purchase was made that much better by the fact that there was a "buy two bags of chips, get a jar of dip free" promotion going on.
