[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s for older people and single folks who don’t scratch cook. [/quote]
Not quite. 3 elem kids and i scratch cook 5 nights a week. I buy ingredients at aldi. Fresh fruit and veg (you do have to get a sense of how quickly you need to use them), grains, dried beans, baking stuff. I have a short list of things that I prefer name brand or aldi doesn’t carry. 
[b]Costco is so much packaged and prepared food.[/b] If you buy those items/brands, it’s great. [/quote]  
I scratch cook ~5 nights a week and do most of my shopping at Costco, as it is the closest grocery store to my house.  I rarely buy any of their prepared foods.  What I do usually buy is vegetables/fruits - brussels sprouts, asparagus, salad greens, spinach, green beans, potatoes, oranges, strawberries, bananas, proteins - chicken, lamb, pork, frozen salmon, wild-caught shrimp, dairy - milk, butter, cheese, bakery - bread and the occasional pie,  wine, olive oil.  The only things I usually purchase from other grocery stores are onions, celery, carrots, garlic, and grains and legumes.  I find that the quality of the produce is good, so it tends to last a while in the fridge before going slimy.  I have found that some of the produce at discount groceries doesn't last very long.[/quote]
