Friendly, efficient check-out counter staff. They move customers in and out of their facility in record-breaking, timely manner. And, all the customer needs to do is have their check-list of items handy, move to those known product pick-up spots, and zoom along from one location to another. And, before you know it, you're out the door and on your way. And, even on those very busy days, with a little bit of patience (and luck), that illusive, coveted, prime parking spot (and all you need is one slot) usually becomes available. At least, that's my experience. My Time-Tested Costco Wholesale "Parking Lot Sweep" My strategy for securing fast parking. Sorry (I played high school football). It's football season. I couldn't resist. So, ready? Here goes. Is your helmet secure, shoulders pads firmly tied down and mouth piece in place? Ready, set, hut ... for the Costco Wholesale "Parking Lot Sweep." Now, first you've stayed away from Dillingham Boulevard. It's a mess out there with rail construction. Forget the Mauka (mountain-side) approach. Instead, charge Costco from Nimitiz Highway, right? Your BEST BET (I believe) is the Makai (ocean side) approach. Thank you for the wait. My "Costco Wholesale Parking Lot Sweep" Images Are Now Posted. So, for me at least, my fully tested "true and tried" "Costco Parking Lot Sweep" always yields my strategic outcome. To date, I have always found my one needed spot on every parking foray. So similarly, to YOU my reader, may "the sweep" be with you!!! NOW, I also have my carefully developed priorities list of "healthy foods and drinks". For me at least, they have those "body nourishing special foods and accompanying drinks." IF you look carefully for them. The fruits (on my list) include avacados, bananas, blueberries (fresh and frozen), raisins (and grapes), kiwifruits (chock full of vitamin C). (NOTE: PLEASE SEE my POB 1 post for more details). They have eggs, milk (2%), juices (orange and POG), whole wheat breads and green vegetables (like spinach, broccoli, and potatos). They have peanut butter and jams (strawberry is my favorite). And, their's is a wide selection of red wines. Mind you, this is my very personal list (after consultation with my doctors and nurses as well as internet and YouTube sources) of what I personally believe are the healthiest foods. Oh yes. And, there is Kirkland 100 % Columbian dark roast coffee. I love the rich flavor. It remains my favorite. And, I'm still getting acquainted with the variety of Extra Virgin Olive Oil (in dark glass bottles with .5 % maximum acidity) from the Mediterranean (Kirkland's Toscano P.G.I from Tuscany, Italy) and .3% maximum acidity Kirkland's California Cuyana Valley, Fall 2022 harvest. A CAUTIONARY NOTE: There are fraudulent, or diluted olive oils on the market. (Here, I'm still on my learning curve). I need patience. Please see my latest posts on these developments. SO, PLEASE CAREFULLY read the labels (harvest in fall, harvest location (one locale?), production methods, expiration dates, maximimum acidity, .5%, .3% etc, if available). They should be on your olive oil containers, which should be bottled in dark glass. These are the current standards that I know. To your health!!!
