Death and Discounts
There are many things one should buy in bulk. Candy is a good example. There is never a time when you can have too much candy. There is no such thing as an overly sufficient amount of reece’s peanut butter cups.
Toilet paper is another good example of an item that you’d always do well to purchase in bulk. There are a lot of things that you can run out of in your house; toilet paper isn’t one of them. Especially if a guest is the person in the bathroom at the moment there’s that realization that you have no more toilet paper. Telling them to use the hand towel isn’t the best way to bring them back to your home, especially if you don’t use a good fabric softener.
However, there is one thing, that if you could buy anywhere, regardless of the discounted price that you should not purchase at a Costco… a casket. And they sell them. Look, someone you care for just died. Someone who meant a lot to you. Bad thing to note at a funeral…. “She raised me from a baby, gave me everything, but at least something good came out of her passing, I saved about 15-hundred bucks on the casket at Costco.”
Seriously, just spend the money. I know it just goes into the ground and the person you are putting in it are dead and won’t care, but it just says more about you than anything else.
Well, regardless of my feelings on the matter, some of you will still want to save the money, so here you go…click here.
