Costco Food-Buying Normalization

A half an hour before closing on Friday the Costco store and parking lot were nearly deserted.

Though Costco is one of the few major retail outlets without an official "Black Friday" sale, some items, particularly those related to Thanksgiving dinner, were heavily discounted.

The turkey-stuffing-gravy combo was marked down to $15 from the original $30. Reason prevented the purchase, as did the recollection of our refrigerator overflowing with leftovers.

We did leave with a shopping cart of items, mostly food, that cost $110. Two days later I couldn't tell you what we bought.
