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.

Me toooooooo! I may just have to go there today 🙂
We just got a Costco in New Orleans and I’m so excited to check it out this weekend!
You guys need to sell your Bode Shakes there so that I can easily get them :-). We too love Costco! I have a 5 month old and we get the formula there – saves us a TON of money! Love the Kirkland wipes – truly the best. And they have organic fruits/veggies/dairy and some meats. Welcome to the Cult that is Costco!
You can’t beat the Kirkland Wipes. They are thick and non irritating to baby’s delicate skin. Also work great to clean up around the toilet after little boys who can’t seem to actually make it in the toilet. :0) Happy shopping!
Pull ups are cheaper at Costco, but I have found diapers to cheaper at Target. 🙂
During the summer there peaches are the best from anywhere. Just the right amount of sweet to curb those cravings.
Don’t hesitate on the Kirkland brand items. We haven’t found anything inferior yet. The produce and meat are my favorites. We go through a lot of bottled water and their brand is good. I love that I can get large quantities of Stevia, Agave Nectar and other things that are so extremely expensive at regular grocers for reasonable rates.
I also have found the clothes really good.
Have fun!
Agree!!! COSTCO has been one of our saviors for organic foods as well. I’m not sure how much the Scottsdale location has, but the best Costco (in regards to organics) is San Tan Costco in Gilbert. We get organic… ground beef, chicken breast, chicken thighs, spinach, carrots, mixed greens, bananas, many frozen fruits, many frozen veggies, gluten-free seed bread and more. It’s really shocking and has made eating healthy affordable on our budget.
Plus Costco sends out coupons monthly and you can also use manufacturers coupons there as well. I don’t believe Sam’s Club does that.
Everything is amazing there. Except the families you see feeding their kids hot dogs/soda, giant slices of cheese pizza, and yogurts bigger than the children. All for convenience and budget.
This may sound shocking but the Kirkland brand diapers are THE BEST!!!! I was very sceptical of trying them but they are WAY better then huggies or any other brand we have tried. They are even better then the target brand and I love target.
