I’m no stranger to Costco – it’s my favorite store, even beating Target. I know, right?! I bought my wedding dress there even. So what does this tell us? It might just tell you a) I’m totally bonkers 2) absolutely dedicated to my favorite store iii) I love myself a great bargain.

And even post-wedding, I still stumble on some great finds – like socially acceptable stretchy pants that will be perfect for your holiday feasting! And they’re at Costco! Did I mention that the brand typically retails for $150 a pair and I got mine for $25?! Yeah, guess who’s going back for pair numero dos? This girl! 

Ben was asleep Saturday and after all my cooking and baking was done it dawned on me, “How busy could Costco be on a Saturday night?”… Um, busy enough that I had to park in one of the last spots in the joint when I arrived. Apparently there isn’t much to do is Suburbia on a Saturday night, and Costco is the place to be. I’m 29, my life is clearly a wreck when a trip to Costco is big doin’s for me.

I meandered to the jeans and clothes to avoid getting a flat tire from a rogue shopper using their cart as a battering ram for the frozen chicken boobs, and found stretchy jeans – nay – zipperless, pull on denim yoga pants!! And the heavens parted and angels sang. I grabbed a pair and figured that the $25 was worth the gamble. Hot damn did it pay off!

So if you can – truck it over to Costco friends and see if they are carrying these magical socially acceptable stretch holiday pants. Take a stand – ain’t no one go time for judgmental jean marks on your Turkey Day tummy this holiday season! Boo yah!
