Costco ? yes?today I am grateful for Costco. ? I never knew what it was about this place that drew people in? almost magically?to spend way too many hours, way too much money, on way too many bars of soap, Sonicare heads, and rolls of toilet paper. ?
Yesterday, I was initiated. And I?m a member for life. Oh my goodness?it took Chris and me 30 minutes to get past the first 2 aisles because we saw a ?need? for just about everything we passed! Scary?but we withheld?for a while at least. ?
The foods there?goodness gracious. Too much for a pregnant woman to handle. We had to pass the baked goods quickly to find some really amazingly priced (and high quality!) lean meats and fresh produce! SO much of it?which is perfect for Thanksgiving. ?
This place. How could I have been missing out on this for so long? I also saw you can buy diapers in bulk for super cheap there! I only had one cart today, so diapers will have to wait until my next visit.
The trick, I see, is to get out of there without breaking your budget on the abundance of great deals you don?t want to pass up!
I. Love. Costco.

Amen sister! I live so close that I’m there at least once a week. My mom, sisters, and I go just for fun or to support whoever is needing to go that day lol. It’s my favorite store! I love everything! My mom and I both used to work there as well. It’s great and I hope I get to run into you there someday! 😉
Yes, Sam’s Club is equally as good. I prefer the meat quality from Sam’s Club better. Especially when I lived in Arizona. In California, Costco carries all natural, lean meats and Foster Farm’s chicken. When I lived in Arizona a few years ago, we didn’t have these at Costco, I had to go to Sam’s Club or Fry’s. Apparently, Foster Farm’s chicken is not such a big deal out of state, but here in California, its all I buy.
Check out the Kirkland no fat plain Greek Yoghurt. Heaven in a tub and super cheap.
I wish we had a costco or Sam’s Club. We are three hours from the closest large store. I’d be thrilled for a Whole Foods or Sprouts or Trader Joe’s, too. But alas, this town has yet to bring in anything but Walmart 🙁
When you get a chance to explore(2 hours maybe lol)
, you’ll also find other super healthy things to buy in bulk like Chia seeds, ground flax meal etc! They are really trying to cater to whole foods eating families!
We go to BJ’s. It is really great!
Next you have to try Sams Club!! Love love love Sams Club! Their baby wipes are amazing and each pack has a pop top on them… My absolute favorite!!!
Surprised you held out this long! 🙂 Welcome to the club! We shop mainly at Costco – great prices, great quality –and yes, diapers! Being a mom of 10 month old twins, we frequent Costco often! 🙂
We love Costco too! I’m a single mom, and I try to make one Costco trip per month. We stock up on frozen fruit for smoothies, get a HUGE bag of broccoli, giganto package of asparagus, a few bags of bananas (I peel the, cut them into chunks, put them in freezer bags, and freeze them for smoothies!), toilet paper, “free and clear” laundry soap, and so on. Some things like the laundry soap last us for several months.
The combination of financial savings (I’m careful to make sure I’m only buying things that are truly great per ounce/piece prices) combined with time savings (one trip to Costco vs weekly or twice weekly grocery store trips…hello!), allows me more time to devote to my son and keeping us both healthy.
Costco IS the BEST!! I had the same experience…wasn’t sure what the hype was, but now I’m addicted! I go there on a weekly basis! Chicken, nuts, toys…you name it!! Quality is amazing too 🙂
