Sample Time at Warehouse Stores

Are you a member of B.J.'S, Costco or Sams Club? If so try to do your shopping at about 11:30 AM. In the food section they give out samples of all kinds of interesting new products. This past week I was offered and accepted pizza, fettucine alfredo with shrimp, buffalo wings, granola, gourmet coffee and cheesecake. It was enough of little "tapa" that I didn't need to have lunch when I returned home from shopping. And the best part was that while I was snacking I was walking those big long aisles.

Another nice thing at our local Costco is you can get a large hot dog and a beverage for $1.50. It's a really cheap lunch. In fact, I know people who drop by Costco during their lunch hour. On weekdays around lunch, it's not as hard to park and get into Costco as it is on weekends and it only takes about 5 minutes to order and receive your hotdog.

My husband and I always had our "Lunch Date's" at Sam's when he was still able to go with me. Now our daughter goes with me and we have our "Girl's lunch" at Sam's with all of the samples. One other tip - if by chance you get their as the host's are running out of samples, you often get large portions, just so they can get finished up quicker. When I was there at the beginning of the month I actually got a full size piece of pizza for a "sample".
