Lee Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 A friend of mine sent me this link: http://www.costco.com/Common/Category.aspx...=BC&topnav= It got me thinking... not of death but, the nature of selling caskets. He mentioned those haven't quite reached the in-store level yet, mostly because they're not your typical "impulse buy" item. But I told him when they reach the store they'll put one up near the registers right next to the promo display for Fast Break candy bars. I like the cross-promoting. click a casket. "Product Recommendations: Military Delux Flag Case" they should have "customers who bought this also bought: -Flowers: $3.99 & up! -Hankerchefs: $1.99! -Life insurance policy: (prices vary) -Smith and Wesson rifle: $109.95 **SALE PRICE**! " And he replied: 'invest in your future! Buy bulk funeral items at Costco today!' And the final reply by me: "Gift wrapping not available for this item" Had to share the laughs, figured some of you would get a kick out of it like i did.

Animalman294 Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 I wonder if you have a business account with them if they would charge you sales taxes on it. Next they will be doing lay-a-way plans on them, and if you don't finish paying it off before you buck-the-kicket, they just give your next of kin the cardboard shipping box that it came in......... :yelrotflmao: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chase@miamiatv.com Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 I practically live at costco until i saw those caskets lol , total trip ! COSTCO CASKETS lol cant try before you buy ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banshee04le Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 No shit. I was at the wal-mart supercenter the other day, gettin my hair cut and my taxes done and I just happened to be looking around for a casket. Couldn't find none. I need to be going to Costco. I like how the ad says "overnight shipping available". You don't wanna be shacking up with a dead body for very long. It starts stinking up the crib. Plus, it's creepy. This is no time for ground freight. Get the body in the box. THEN it's ground freight. badump chhh lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cotton eyed Joe Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 No shit. I was at the wal-mart supercenter the other day, gettin my hair cut and my taxes done ................. Weird. Its like some sort of parallel universe. I go there to get my hair cut, my taxes done, my eyes checked, a pedicure, dodge Ritalin fueled fatherless children, put stuff on layaway, take stuff off of layaway, buy some corndogs and frozen pizzas, pick up some tires, get my oil changed, buy a few boxes of .44mag ball nose rounds, and if I have time I'll hit the pharmacy for some Cialis, Orthotricyclin and Paxil.

Todays special is two for 1 , They come gift wrapped with the optional return shipping prepaid . You get what you pay for, so expect a crane to bring in these fat sun bittches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
differentstrokes Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 I buy all kinds of things I don't need every time I shop there, they've definitely got variety. They even had people in the parking lot trying to hustle me about needing money since they couldn't meet up with their FEMA representative in Hunstville, AL waaayyy after the hurricane...bs, they'd just spend it at a casino or strip club. Cons...definitely a good candidate to fill the caskets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
