I {heart} Costco

As a married couple in Utah we had a Costco within five minutes from us at both our apartment and house. It was wonderful.
Here it is much farther, so we do planned monthly Costco runs.

Yesterday (Saturday) was one of those runs.


I stocked my freezer with meal size portions of roasts and ground beef...


...we got the Costco boxes of cereal that have not one, but two bags in each box...

And all on the cheap. Super cool.



Hey, wanna know how crazy we are?
I know you do.

In addition to the cereal shown above on our spiffy new shelves...
...here's my lazy susan...




...and the pantry...

...and we have a few more bags of cereal on the table but I don't want to show you because it is messy...
...and I have a few boxes at work that I eat for lunches...
Insane. I know.


But hey, we have some water storage. Fun, huh?

Hey Nicole, I'm sorry I didn't make myself known earlier. I've followed your blog for a long time now through my Google Reader. At any rate, I'm glad you found me.

I am ABSOLUTELY astounded at the amount of cereal you have!! Haha! I hope you have enough milk storage to use it all! The price has been good at the cannery for the past 6 months or so. It is so nice to have food storage, calms your nerves. At least it does mine!

Carmen said...

Yeah, about that milk storage...we're working on it, I don't know where the closest cannery is. But yes, powdered milk all the way! Food storage is the bomb.

You should check out www.pinchingyourpennies.com It's based in Utah, but can teach you how to coupon and build a food storage on the cheap that way. It's WONDERFUL!
