A day at Costco

Yesterday some friends and I went to the Costco in Misato. Luckily we were there about 9:30am because it was already open (the official opening time is 10) and there were already LOTS of people inside!

When we left, the store was absolutely packed with people, all pushing giant sized carts here and there. Actually I think it was too busy and that it would be much better if Costco limited the number of shoppers who are in the store at one time.

At a glance, things seem to be cheap, but please be careful because if you calculate carefully, some things are not cheaper than in stores in Tsukuba. The things I bought are cooking ingredients that I cannot buy near here.

I'd only been to Costco once before and that was about 8 years ago in Makuhari. I think the Misato store is smaller and with less variety.

Anyway, going on a weekend is probably not such a good idea :)

Not all my things!
We shared one cart for 3 people.

Cherries, figs, dark chocolate for cooking.
