Guess what I did today!

I bought a Sam’s Wholesale Club membership!!

I know, right?! SAM’S-OMGEE-THIS-IS-SO-EXCITING!!!

You’re going to laugh at me, but the reason I hadn’t bought a membership until this point was due to some convoluted set of pseudo-moral objections Tariq raised about mindless consumerism and unfair business practices.

I didn’t really argue because that meant I would have actually had to listen to the argument PLUS I find it absolutely hilarious when my husband tries to get ethical.

This is the guy that laughed at me a few years ago when I suggested that we should start recycling. And when I got upset asked me how much water the recycling plant used to recycle plastics and-isnt-THAT-bad-for-the-environment?

And, then, when I got even more upset said, “Fine” but then grumbled something like “Leave it to Americans to love dirt, plastic and dogs more than they love people.”  Okay, not an exact quote, but something in the neighborhood.

Anyway, SAM’S CLUB!!

Did you know you could buy six tubes of toothpaste for ten bucks?

And one hundred and sixty Huggies for thirty five bucks?

Plus cheesecake and salmon?!

And frozen taquitos and a 24 pack of Dannon Light and Fit Yogurt?

Look, I know I’m getting FOBalicious here, but I am so excited!

Because, hey, SAM’S!!
