I wish we had a Costco around us, but we don’t (we live in the boonies). But for those prices on organics, it might be worth the hour drive.

Hi, I found your blog through links on Noblewomanhood.com and I am glad I did. During the last year we have made major health/nutrition changes and doing many of the things you are speaking of. I bookmarked you and plan on coming back to read more!

We also use Costco for a lot. Unfortunately the one close to us carries very little organic/natural items. But if I drive ten miles that Costco has a lot.

I am just now trying to make out lists of what I want to stock on a regular basis so that I can compare prices for Costco, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Food Co-op, Azure Standard, Safeway etc. I don’t want to go running all over the place, but one advantage to living in a city (which I generally hate) is that they aren’t far from each other.

I write the dates on stuff too. Especially laundry & toilet paper. These things don’t go to fast but it helps me budget better. I like it that I can go online & see if the prices have changed too. We have a local Sam’s Club here. I mostly the baked goods, noodles, household supplies & meat here. If I can I try and buy meat from a local farmer.

You are right about Costco having pros and cons. I love it..but I find the bulk items that I buy with such excitement tend to go to waste! What a good idea to write the “time frame” on the items. Thanks for the tip.. maybe I’ll actually remember I have a 10,000 lb of potatoes in the pantry lol
