Paper plates, plastic ware, cups and napkins

And so much more - totally worth it for our family of 4 with 2 athletic teen boys who eat a ton!

Mmm where is tzatziki located?

I buy -

Aluminum foil ( best price)
Parchment paper
Allergy meds

Bag of sausage patties Jones I think - they are already cooked just need to heat them up. Add them to an English muffin and it’s a quick breakfast.

Canadian bacon
Berries
The danishes - they freeze extremely well. They are huge so I cut them in half and freeze. DH and I have one on sun with coffee.
Morning rounds
Mexican coke
Wine
Pork chops
Frozen salmon

tzatziki is near the refrigerator section next to the meat, but the farthest section from the meat (hope that makes sense!).

The kids chewable claritin is a great price.

What’s a morning round?

The pastries freeze great. We set them out about 30 minutes and heat up in the toaster oven. Perfect.

I always buy the same stuff, pretty much. I like their Aidell's chicken sausage (great deal!), Babybel cheese, the pesto, bagels and muffins, wine, olives, toilet paper, bottled water.

Their dairy prices are on par with Wegman's, so I alternate.

I don't buy sandwich bread and lettuce at Costco because they usually go bad before we can eat it all. I get those things at the regular grocery store.

I freeze the second loaf.

They're these English muffin-y things with dried fruits, nuts, flax, etc. They freeze well and can go right from freezer to toaster. Whole Foods carries a couple different varieties (apple, cranberry) but for a while Costco had double packs of the cranberry. My 3 YO loves them for breakfast with some almond butter.
