Suburban Euphoria...
I have a minute or two before I am off to get ready to go to... COSTCO!!!!!! The closest one to me is about an hour away, so these trips are timed and planned carefully (we do NOT want to run out of paper plates). My Mom and I will head out at 9:00 am, hit a little bit of civilization (shopping of course) and then, oh rapturous joy, Costco! So now here is why I am sharing this with you. While I am gone (which will pretty much be all day) you all can have a little fun in here. See, I have a list of what we actually NEED from Costco... your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to guess how many "off list" items will I return with! Of COURSE I'll find something NOT on my list... that's a given. So have fun, guess away, and I'll report back later!

Oh, cool!!!  Hmmm, let's see you are going with your mom, so that eliminates husbandly influence in certain areas that always end up filling my cart at Sam's Club...

Have to calculate this carefully.  If you were just going to Costco, I'd say "seven", but since you are doing other shopping first (but what type?!) that might cut down on the non-list items.  It will obviously be at least three, since that is almost a requirement when doing major shopping.  I guess I'll split the difference and make my official guess:

5

Well... lets use some Calculus knowledge.... lol

Using the same logic as scout but using a f(x) formula... carry the 154.... alright, here we go... woops, subtract the 2... ummm going with...

teehee, I usually get at least 5 items not on my list at a normal store, but Hmmm, Costco, warehouse shopping, concrete floors, BULK!

I'll stick to 5 non-listed items

I'll say 4, since noone has mentionned that one yet. To further break it down--2 will be bargains you couldn't pass up, one will be a surprise for the kiddies, and one will smell real good!
