I Have a Confession to Make…

I am a wholesale whore.  There.  I said it.  It’s true.  I LOVE wholesale clubs.  I am a huge fan of Costco, BJ’s and Sam’s Club and I would have all three memberships too if I could afford it.  Okay, well I DID have all three memberships once.  But when I realized that I couldn’t go into one of these warehouses without spending at least $100 (usually much more), I decided that I was out of control and spending way too much money so I gave up one of my memberships.  Oh and believe me…that was a sad sad day.

Why do I love them so much you ask?  Sure Sams, Costco and BJ’s are great places to buy things in bulk and I do.  But besides food, I love to buy books, music, DVDs, toys and clothes there.  I have found so many great items at these places and around the holidays…forget it.  They are the first place I go to do my Christmas shopping.  The only other store that I love to shop in more than a wholesale club is Target.  I frequent Target so much that I call it my “home away from home” and my 3 year old has dubbed it the “bulls-eye store”.  If I tell him “we have to go to the store today” , the first thing he will ask is “are we going to the bulls-eye store?”   Hey I know it sounds pathetic but I honestly believe I am doing my boys and their future wives a favor.  Because of me and my shopaholic tendencies, I am raising my boys to be men who actually like to shop!  Right?  Right.

So yes, I am a wholesale whore and after tomorrow I may need to lock myself in the house because the temptation will be too much to bear.  In a few short hours, just a ten minute drive from my house, a brand spankin’ new Walmart Supercenter is opening and behind it in the same freakin parking lot is -wait for it… a BRAND new Sams Club.  ALL IN ONE PLACE!   Am I in trouble now!   Although Target is my favorite (aside from the wholesale clubs of course), I have been known to do some serious damage in Walmart too.  Oh boy…I am soooo in trouble!
