How often do you goto Costco just to graze the free samples?

My gym is like a mile from Costco.

so whenever it's a weights day (as opposed to cardio), i graze.
so 2x/week.

/obligatory I dont have a costcos membership
 
This reminds me of a time at a furniture store which served absolutely delicious sugar cookies and choc chip cookies. They weren't just good, but absolutely amazing- freshly baked on premise.

My mom and I would visit just to pretend we're shopping and eat those up. They also had those popcorn machines too.

Oh man, that takes me back when I was in HS.
 
No because I'm a) not a bum and b) no way I'm fighting those crowds just to sample a Dixie cup's worth of cereal.
 
If my mom is going to BJs (same as Costcos), I come along and take all the free food.

(I'm a high schooler)

If my mom and I like the sample, we usually buy the food that we tried
 
If you have a nearby H-Mart, now THEY have amazing nonstop Asian street-food goodness samples all over the place.

Mmm....... Korean BBQ pieces, Seafood pancakes, spicy rice cakes, dumplings, ramen samples.

All those beat American samples at BJ/Costco.

never,

the closest costco to me is 90 miles away in another country

actually the 20 closest costcos to me are all in another country between 90 and 150 miles away
 
I wish they'd put them all in one area so they don't block up the aisles so much. I also wish people would tie up their children, and I wish all the old people were in a giant hole.

I'm not allowed to eat found food.
 
same, it's just usually 2-3 things and into the long lines ( at least they use all the lines and try to move people as fast as they can ).

i've seen the H-mart whever i goto my fav korean place. but never been in it.
too bad the only reason im near there is for the korean restaurant
 
No, I come to shop. if a sample looks tasty and I might buy the product and nobody is standing around and there is a sample ready to take, then I may try it. I don't go there to graze.

same.

IF i am there i get everything if they look good. IF i am hungry i go to the food court area. $1.50 for a huge hot dog or $2 for a huge slice of pizza?
 
I collect all the samples and feed my family twice a week this way. I beg at gas stations on Sundays, freeway offramps during rush hour, I sell roses at clubs on Saturday nights, and I collect cans the rest of my time.

Costco saved my life.
