Vice President Joe Biden bought a wide variety of things during his Thursday morning shopping spree at Costco in Washington, D.C., according to a White House pool report. Biden’s shopping cart was filled with, among other things, “children’s’ books, fire logs, a 32 inch Panasonic TV and a big apple pie.”

It’s unclear whether the vice president bought a watch:

Unknown if he bought a watch, though he spent considerable time at the counter looking at them, including a $1,200 one, and put in a call to his daughter, Ashley, saying he needed to “get some guidance.”

Biden turned down new tires. “Hey man, I don’t need tires,” he said. “I don’t drive anymore.” 

Biden also appeared to enjoy the food samples, the pool report says.
