We love Costco

We love Costco so much that I am pretty sure our 4th date took place at Costco. We upgraded to the fancy Executive Membership because we pretty much shop there exclusively (other than couponing deals, more on that later) and by getting 2% back on our Costco purchases it pays for our annual membership fee. Check out all the different Costco Membership Options and see what would work best for your family. 

So on an average month we do our very best to keep our food budget under $300. We balance buying the best deal and buying organic as much as possible because health is important and all that good stuff. We also stock up on a lot of produce and use it mostly at the beginning of the month, then transition to frozen fruits and veggies near the end of the month to reduce food waste. 

So here it is! Our Costco list for October, keep in  mind I coupon most of our spices and condiments and I bought a 14lb bag of rice 6 months ago that is going to last us forever, so we have some staples on hand.
