Costco Scam

Brought to you from the mind of The Duke, here is a way to eat for $42.95 for the rest of the year.

Your a college student, unemployed, or a really cheap asshole. You need to feed yourself, but it costs money. Mom isn't around to cook and you obviously don't have a girlfriend. What a predicament - time to take fate into your own hands.

The scam is simple. Get a Costco card. If you have roommates, have them chip in. If you're lucky, someone you know already has a card. With this card you'll be able to get into the Costco stores. And what do Costco stores have? Free food samples!

Your supper will be a plethora of interesting and exotic items such as chips, crackers, salad dressings, and other tid-bit assortments. It'll be like an amusement park for your mouth.

A word of warning, the line-ups are usually small or non-existent, so make sure you rotate throughout the whole store. You don't want to be black-listed by the people who are handing out the samples. Bring a cart with you and fill it half full. You want to look like you are actually shopping there.

If you can, bring a toddler with you. This way you'll be handed two samples. Then ask the person what are the ingredients. After they're done listing what's in it, go "oh, lil (insert kids name), you're allergic to (insert random ingredient name), I should probably eat that." and peel it out of his hands. Double smiles baby!

Also ryeandcoke.com doesn't suggest trying to make your own costco cards. Being caught with a counterfit Costco card is really embarassing. And no pencil crayon matches the red on their cards.

If you begin to feel guilty - fear not. Just print off some flyers and take them down to the shelter. Educate the homeless. Share your knowledge and help feed your fellow man (at no cost to you).
