It's interesting to go into a Costco an hour before they close, and see all the 'holes' of sold merchandise.

I've been putting off the usual Costco run, and just getting organic milk from the local store. But our hamburger supply has finally dwindled & I needed to restock NOW. We didn't have time to source another grass-fed cow as we did last time (a source I found on GIM, but lost the contact info).

Anyhoo, I was shocked at hamburger prices being $4.29+/lb in the reg. stores. I knew Costco would be a better price but I wasn't looking forward to repackaging a 10 pound slab of hamburger.

I found they sell 1 lb. 'chubs' of their burger in the freezer section, 5/bag at the same price/lb. as their fresh 'family packs'. ($2.99/lb) Yippee!

The frozen chicken breasts were nearly wiped out, I got one of the few remaining bags.

Finally bought #25 of sugar. Don't laugh, around here #5 lasts well over a year or two!

Need to return for dog food & softener salt when I have a muscle-man along.

Am also dreaming of another freezer!!

You obviously do not make Kombucha tea. I think this is one of the best bang for the buck drinks you can make and so good for you. Does take a fair amount of sugar though. About 12 oz per gallon

What pisses me off about Costco is they are always moving items to different areas and I end up wasting time hunting things down, a friend of mine worked there and he said they do it intentionally because studies have shown when you wander around you tend to pick up more items.

No kidding, it is annoying as heck! SuperTarget also does this obnoxious 'marketing'.
