This loud annoying little toy is currently on sale for $39.99 at Costco! If you’re going to buy one as a Christmas gift you better do so soon before they become out of stock.

Here’s some interesting info about “Tickle Me Elmo” from Wikipedia:

In 1996, the Tickle Me Elmo was the “Must Have” toy. Many parents literally fought other parents in North American toy stores to purchase one of the toys for Christmas. The short supply of the toy, due to unexpected demand, meant that stores hiked the price on the dolls drastically. Newspaper classifieds even sold the plush toy for hundreds of US dollars. People reports that the USD$28.99 toy fetched as much as $1500. read more here

Clarification: I meant the new TMX is on sale at Costco for $39.99 not the old model

Slip PETA’s Cruelty-Free Pocket Shopping Guide into your wallet the next time you head to the store… PETA’s handy guide will help you find humane products (that were not tested on animals) at a glance.

I’m not exactly a PETA endorser since I’m not a vegetarian nor do I approve of PETA’s sickening ways of psychologically forcing us to become vegetarians. However, looking at the electronic copy of this shopping guide, it seems much better than some of their previous “become a vegetarian” publications.

Since this isn’t a printable coupon, I emailed Costco asking if we could get the $25 Costco Cash Card without the coupon and they said we could 🙂 Here is their reply:
