A trip to Kiamco could have cost a lot more...

You should have air-barreled Costco. Pool players are allowed to do that, didn't you know :thumbup:

How did you get out of Costco so cheap?

Now that's hilarious and original!!!!:thumbup::thumbup: Black Balled met Kiamco about four years ago at one of the pre-US Open tournaments in Maryland's Eastern Shore so I'm sure he won't be so gullible if and when Kiamco lay a line.....

Amen! I can never leave Costco with less than a $300 bill.

 

[ric23]

Amen! I can never leave Costco with less than a $300 bill.

Yep, still not bad though! congrats on the win!

 

[stevenmor]

Amen! I can never leave Costco with less than a $300 bill.

Exactly. And usually go there just to get a thing or two.

Another Costco story

I'm going to Orlando in a month. Reserved a car on my own for $420.00 Then saw the Costco coupon ad that had enterprise rent a car discount for members. So I called. Same car etc. Costco cost $1084.00. I'm really torn what to do....

Sounds like you need to get a job at costcos with the workers discount you would of broke about even,but now your stuck 40 from your pocket,oh well at lease you won a pool tournament.

I won $410 a couple of weeks ago and was going to buy a nice recliner. Then the dryer dies and I spent the money on a new one.
But if I get positioned just right it's not too bad to watch tv on. And it's very warm on cold nights.:thumbup:

Sounds like the only thing missing is a comfy cushion,strap on a cup holder ,man this is sounding good,then when your wife yells for you,you can tell her your on top of the laundry,as in helping,and then hope she doesnt come see for herself.

this brings back memories of when i was in college around '03.

I'm sitting in the living room and my roommate walks up and asks "hey I'm going to walmart to get some Q-tips, Do you need anything bro?"

I told him no.

He comes back a couple hours later and comes in with tons of chit.........

I looked at him and I said "DAYYYYUUUMMMM Thats alot of Q-Tips! How much they set you back bro, 250-275?

He laughed and said "naw buddy those are $325 Q-Tips, never thought Q-Tips could ever cost me so much"


This is why I shop with my hands and not that big beheamoth of a basket (ever been to the superstore? they have double carts) UNLESS I MUST BUY MANY THINGS.

That way I can only buy what I can carry........one good thing about the grocery store is that its not like cuebuilding lol. At a cue parts store i could fit a couple hundred dollars worth of stuff in one hand............at the grocery usually 25 to 50 tops as to what i can hold.

Those baskets make your eyes bigger than your wallet.

My hope is always to win enough to pay the bar tab.

Wally World and Costco are out of the question.

I was at Sams Club the other day, which not so conveniently for my bankroll sits about one block from my office. Im there alot and the staff in there even kinda give me the nod bc im a familiar face. So its 845am and only the business clients are in there so its fairly empty. The SAMs guys are unpacking a bumper pooltable. I walk up and the guys have a Shanghai special ball pack and a few cue sticks that WC Fields left behind. The one guy says hey lets play a game. The other guy says you cant beat me and ill bet our paychecks on that. Just then their supervisor walks over and tells them that if they break the shrink wrap on that ball pack open they are buying it and to get back to work.

I really thought I was going to see some action at SAMs.

Oh if i could only play the checkout person a race to 7 for my basket. Im a huge go off when it comes to buying 4lbs of coffee creamer at a time.
