Costco Olive Oil

Over the years, I've spent a lot of money at Costco. Before that I belonged to Price Club at the same locations. I've been a member since the early 80's. I've brought many new customers to the locations and all of them were not only impressed with the operation, but they were thankful for me to introducing them to warehouse shopping. This is clearly not the case with my current steady girlfriend, who shall remain nameless, but lives in the Arrowhead Estates with a wonderful dog that has accepted me as a pack member, named Pawpaw.

One of the nice things about buying in bulk when you are a single person is sharing the values by splitting them up, each taking half. This sort of activity in self explanatory and ready shouldn't have to be explained. Today I instant messaged my "steady girl" and asked her if she'd like to sell me 1/2 of her purchase of olive oil that she purchased some weeks ago. You are required to buy 2 full gallons of the healthy oil at one time and the last time I did that it lasted me 10 years. I fear that I might not live long enough to use that much olive oil again, making me think of asking the "Lovely Steady Girlfriend" to share hers. That's when she informed me that she already gave 1/2 of her oil to her daughter, weeks ago. Well ain't that just ducky? Not only did I introduce her to Costco, but her daughter gave her her own membership to "my" Costco for Christmas. I feel jilted, jaded and all of the other "J" words that apply... Looks like I'll be needing a new partner to shop with and "partner up" with as well!
