It had been a good
long while since I had been into Costco.
I had a list and a plan so I was pretty excited to get to go this time
around. It was a bit of a hodge podge as
far as what I purchased on this day, but it was all part of “the plan”.

| Costco haul!!! |

| Healthy options |
Top of my list
was to pick up some dish soap that was on sale. I had this particular item on my restock list
for the year. I wasn’t out of soap, but
I was starting to get low so the timing couldn’t have been better. When I got there I was happily surprised at
the size of the jug and how inexpensive it was, only $6.49 for a 102 ounce
bottle of concentrated dishwashing detergent.
That was a pretty big win!

| This should last me a good long while |

| Finally! I replaced a couple sweaters & a pair of pants |
I had a return,
a top I had purchased in November and did not like. I also had a list of items to replace items I
had already or planned to purge from my closet.
A pair of pants to replace a faded and well worn pair, a sweater and a
zip front hoodie to replace two sweaters I had purged well over a year ago and
a top to replace the one I had just returned.

| I wanted to get these to put in my pack for hikes & cycling |
 |
| I think these are a better option to eating candy and candy bars |
From my “fun and
leisure budget” I picked up some items for my upcoming activities and
travel. I spent a fair bit of time
reading the labels and ingredients lists and choosing wisely as these items are
processed so I want the cleanest and healthiest products I can find. I wanted to get the bars to pack for my hikes
and cycling adventures as well as to take camping. The Kirkland brand of the “Kind” bars are a
much better choice than candy bars as are the Acai Blueberry chocolates. I picked up a bag of cashews as well as a
twin pack of rolled oats as part of my regular grocery shopping.
Lots of granola in my future! 😋 
The Brookside chocolates are delicious with clean ingredients 
Worth the money?
While I was
there I also took my time to go through the meat department and really take
note of what they had as well as the prices of those items. It helped me to get a good idea of how I want
to restock meat in the deep freezer when the time comes. Do you feel that Costco’s meat department
offers better quality for the money?
I definitely think their meat is worth it! I buy organic chicken legs and thighs, and both flank and NY strip steak. Their ribs are good too
ReplyDeleteWe buy the same Brookside chocolates and love them. They are perfect for when you need just a bite of something sweet. Much better than candy bars. I have never been in a Costco so I have no idea on their meat.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a Costco membership, but I would love that it looks like one stop shopping.
ReplyDeleteYES on the quality of meat for the price. We only buy our strip steaks from Costco even though its a 3.5 hour drive that we only do a couple times a year we are sure to stock up.
ReplyDeleteCostco ground beef is awesome. 6 pounds + for $26 in Pennsylvania. St Louis seasoned ribs are very good. When they have fresh Mahi Mahi, I buy it for a "special" dinner. They also have frozen Mahi sometimes and that is delish! My kids (adults) like the Rotiss chicken. The quality is worth it!
