Same feeling when I joined BJ Wholesale...

BJ does have some nice condiments and other things under their name -- can't
think of the name at the moment, but something like "Bartles and James."

The first year I'd ever heard of Price Club (Costco) and had just
joined as recommended by a friend. We were invited to New Year's dinner
at this friend's house, and they announced that everything on the table
was from Costco.

I wonder why they did that? It's like me announcing that everything on
my table was from a particular supermarket. I can't think of any reason
my guests would need to know that.

And it all came from a box o' blue (Kraft Mac'n'Cheese). Cheese fondue
with
elbownian noodles.

Hi Miche!

My choice of words, "announced" was inappropriate. I should have said,
"they said lovingly" .... And since Price Club had been recommended to me by
them, and they were helping me to become a member, they were showing me what
was available there. In those days, one had to belong to this or that to
qualify. We joined a credit union to qualify. We still use that place for
our banking to this day and have never paid a cent for banking, nor had a
mistake on our statement -- incredible.

Indeed I still remember, New Years' Day, there was ham and turkey and a big
spread. They were a nice Mormon family and I was embarrased that I wanted
to smoke. Haven't smoked a day since then 1-1-89.

Sad to say that this man is not still living. He became a great friend.
