Patricia Altschul Braved Costco on "The Worst Shopping Day of the Year" — Here's Video Proof

When the Southern Charm-er needs her barbecue provisions, she'll go to great lengths.

By Jenny Berg

When Patricia Altschul tweets "guess where I am?," one might assume she's at Gwynn's, her accustomed spot for stocking up on designer goods whilst sipping champagne. But alas, Gwynn's doesn't sell hot-dog buns or relish.

So, when the Southern Charm matriarch needs to buy some provisions for her 4th of July celebration, she hightails it to a spot that Erika Girardi, Tamra Judge — and the rest of us — all know and love. We're talking, of course, about Costco.   

On June 30, the caftan savant took to Twitter to share a short video that showed her butler, Michael, chowing down on a loaded hot dog across the table from her. "Getting ready for the fourth of July," Michael said. Patricia quipped: "Worst shopping day of the year," she said, panning over the fluorescent-lit scene around her.

But, Michael had a counterpoint: "Or the best shopping day," he said. "We're only getting hot dogs." Indeed, what's not to love about a short, sweet, yet still meaty trip to the store? Contemplate this while you check out the cute clip below.
