I had to run to Costco again today in a bit of an emergency. I deked out of work at 2:45 and was on my way. My mission: to purchase a whole bunch of pumpkins. I had this great idea to steal a few English lessons to celebrate Halloween. Luckily it got the green light from the higher powers; I was even given an ok to get up to 15,000 Yen worth of pumpkins. I tell you, the look on the faces of the staff and customers as I systematically picked through the crates of pumpkins to find only the 17 best. Great looks, actually stares, but priceless as I walked to the checkout counter with a shopping buggy full of pumpkins. I went back in to get some of my own personal shopping done. As always, good times. I ended up with such items as an electric blanket, two sweaters (sense a pattern here...yep, it's getting cold) in my size, a Rock against Bush CD, BBQ sauce, ribs, salmon, Halloween candy and on and on. The damage? 38,000 Yen. Wow, that's over 50,000 Yen in one day at Costco. I suppose only the best stores can capture my money like that though.
