      They tried to raise price of hotdog because it's at least four dollars less than what they should charge for it. The CEO of Costco said I will kill you if you raise price and the price hasn't been raised since. Lol

    I love how Costco and Ikea tend to have the same layout even overseas and in different countries. Before the pandemic we would go just for the afternoon to get free samples and maybe buy a drink and a hotdog. My favorite part as a kid was when the person at the exit would draw a face or picture on the receipt if a kid gave it to them.

    When I take my grand babies to the store I take a soft throw blanket and fold it up and put it in the sitting section in a way so they can fit their legs through but sit on something nice and soft. Also some thing soft to lean back on and lay their head on if they get sleepy. It really made things so much easier! I know if someone wanted most adults to sit on hard cold grocery basket wires , especially for an hour or more, they would think that was crazy. But for some reason they don’t seem to think a little child will be affected by it. ( Not inferring you do that though. Maybe it’s more of a oversight in my country. 🤔🤷🏼‍♀️

    I am amazed that Costco is there considering the deals are usually bulk sizes. From your other videos about space it seems like they would go against each other. Used to live in an apartment but we had a rented garage on site that we put a freezer in to make the most but just an apartment you have to know exactly what you need to buy.

    Years ago, I was the parent wondering if my kids would ever sit in a cart quietly, and I honestly don't think that it is going to happen for all kids. 🤣 But soon Wolfie will be able to walk with you and help with retrieving items during shopping. It was also an opportunity to talk about all kinds of topics like needs vs. wants, cooking, and money as my kids got older. Those were fun times, and it's fun to see Wolifie as he changes and grows. ✌️from CA.
