I'm not quite sure what happens to me. Suddenly, I become a person who can't live without a 25-pound bag of flour. No lie. I bought 25-pounds (!) of flour. It was $6.99, and, really, who can resist that bargain? I also bought 4 pounds of butter and a ginormous bag of walnuts. Oh, and don't forget the big container of vanilla extract.
Some shopping fiend possessed my body. I didn't recognize the person who was happily pushing the cart through the Costco aisles and tossing in giant containers of mustard, a six-pack of anchovies packed in olive oil and two cans of Cento plum tomatoes that were bigger than 6-month-old babies. (Grandmom Talorico's ragu will be making an appearance in my kitchen real soon.)
So what am I going to do with all that flour? Looks like everyone I know this Christmas is getting cookies or some kind of baked good. This morning, I already made banana-nut muffins and peanut butter-chocolate chip cookies. I'm gearing up now to make dough for Thanksgiving pies.
Is there a 12-step program for a Costco addiction?

nope...but, your not alone. I have the same experience every time I'm there...2 large vials of vanilla beans...for 12 bucks!? OK!! Then my girlfriend brings me back to reality and makes me put it back.
