So I went. With my cash.
And it took me about 2 minutes in Costco before I found something that I HAD to have that wasn't on the list:
It is a Cupcake Carrier (actually a 3 Tier Snap N Stack Cupcake, Cookie, Cake Carrier) from SnapWare.
I have been obsessing about a cupcake carrier since The Boy's last birthday. I have no good way to store or transport cupcakes when I make them. It drives me crazy. And this is the best one I have seen. It comes with 3 tiers, so it will hold 36 cupcakes. But you don't have to use them all at once. You can use one at a time, or two at a time. The bottom has ridges to hold the cupcakes in place, but you can flip it over for a flat surface for cookies or a sheet cake. It is just about perfect. And it was under $17 at Costco.So if you have been looking for one like I have and you have a Costco, RUN! Go and get one! It will make you happy.
But it wasn't in my budget for that trip.
So I didn't buy toilet paper.
That's normal, right?

i have a 24 cupcake carrier, and i absolutely adore it. i make cupcakes more often just to use my carrier. my coworkers certainly appreciate it.
oooh, thats fantastic!!!
toilet paper or a cupcake carrier...you totally made the right choice!
I had to get a cupcake carrier for Lyd's sock hop. I had to have a way to store those adorable cheeseburger cupcakes!
hahaha! That's awesome! I totally wish there was a Sam's Club within 50 miles of us! I'd be there in a heartbeat. I wonder if I can order it online!
$17 is an excellent price for a cupcake carrier that has 3 layers. I almost bought one last year only 2 layers and I think it was around $29.
I might check out Costco for the carrier. I'd love a 3-stacker!
I am going to go take a look see at costco tomorrow ;)
That is so normal. We must always have our priorities.
Oh, I have one of these!!! It is SO awesome, I don't know what I ever did w/out it:) You'll be so glad you bought it instead of toilet paper! lol!
I want.
I used it tonight!! I made some Twilight cupcakes for the sweet girl that babysits for us (she is having a Twilight birthday party tomorrow) and I got to use it! It is so great! I love it!!
I just got it this week too! Did you see how the trays fold upside down to make little platforms? It's so cool! Plus you can put pies inside too.
I am so getting this! Thanks for sharing!
Jennie! I did! I love it! And there are little finger holes cut out of the side to help you put it in as a platform! I made some cake truffles with the extra cupcakes and they are sitting under and on the platform! It is heavenly!
I have a cupcake carrier, but I've been seeing more of these 3-in-1 carriers and I like them better! We don't have Costco where I live unfortunately, but I am the same as you when I go to Walmart :-)
Love the carrier...I really like the snapware containers..They are the best..When my son was little, I would make cupcakes for his class and never had anything to put them in... By the way, I love going to Costco and have never walked out the door without spending over a $100 too..I love the cupcakes they sell..You got me thinking, I might have to go buy some..Just yummy...

I always convince myself I don't need one of these UNTIL I make cupcakes for school functions etc and then I rack my brain as to how I'm going to transport them!!!! I need to just break down and buy one too. Thanks for the tip I need to go to Costco anyway, maybe I'll get out of there for under $200, doubtful :)
Laura, get one! You will not be sorry. I am still giddy! And after using it last night for all sorts of things I really do think they thought of everything!
I only wish they sold extra lids so that I could turn them into three single carriers too! Mostly for storing them in the fridge.
Yep, totally normal. ;)
I saw that the other day and I wanted it so bad! I hardly make cupcakes but I always think about making them :) I guess that doesnt justify the need.
You are an evil, evil woman. ;-)
$100 limit at Costco????? Are you crazy!!! I think I need to adopt your "cash only" rule. I just had my Costco run (didn't see the adorable cupcake holder---that now I have to have) and was WAY over the $100 mark. AHHH!!!
Noelle, I probably go to Costco 3 times a week! :X
