Today’s Costco Trip

If you’re on my Facebook, I was concerned yesterday about getting to my Click & Collect pickup at the right time. As humour would have it, our order was booked for next Monday 🙄 So it became clear we were going to need a grocery shop ASAP. We were out of evvvvverything! Brady took the hit and offered to hit Costco for us this morning. I advised him to grab an orange flat deck cart. He laughed, but said he might. He did. 

Unfortunately, his hands are gigantic and his gloves ripped immediately 😕 Buuuuut the shop still needed doing. 

We needed a LOT of things. 

Familiar?? 😆

Costco didn’t permit Brady to use our green bins, but they only used one teeny tiny little box for a couple of things and the rest was reloaded onto the orange cart willy nilly. After many little spills and no one being able to help, Brady made it back to the bus and loaded it up. My goodness….. 

When he arrived home, it was a long process of unloading the items into the garage, disinfecting everything, and then putting things in their spots. We bought two of most items, just to cover us longer, so there was more than our pantry is used to holding, but we made it work. 

We came home wiiiiiiiith…

Two bags of red potatoes, two containers of grape tomatoes, six cucumbers, two bags of bell peppers, three bags of apples, three bunches of bananas, two big bags of frozen broccoli, two bags of burger buns, three bags of hot dog buns, two sleeves of English muffins, six farmer sausage, two packs of sandwich ham, four milks, three almond milks, two sour creams, a close of kombucha, a box of perogies, a bag of fries, three pounds of butter, four blocks of cheese, cheese slices, cheese strings (I know, I know, cheese cheese cheese,) One bag chicken nuggets, a box of quick oats, two boxes of Cheerios, two boxes of Froot Loops, two boxes of goldfish crackers, three boxes of granola bars, a big box of spaghetti noodles, twelve tins of tuna, tostitos, two bags of trail mix, cooking oil, potato salad, salt, raspberry jam, two rolls of parchment paper, aaaaaaand a big pack of toilet paper. Finally. 

It all came to $600 😳

I hope that lasts a GOOD long time!! 

Not because I don’t want to shop again soon, but I don’t want to wipe down $600 worth of groceries again anytime soon! 

Thank you, Lord, for keeping us afloat and providing for us, always.

I hope it lasts a while too 😅 We’re trying to be creative and not always go buy something the moment it runs out, but to be better about using up what we have on hand. Its tricky, hahaha! But a good lesson!
