    I just went to Costco and love it for all the non-food items- toilet paper, paper towels, etc. I try to get food there but, it is really tricky not to end up with waste because the portions are so big- so I would encourage you to get non-perishables and be cautious about the produce. Their food is great but, its HUGE.

    I am reading of folks buying several rotisserie chickens at once - use one or two immediately for stews, soups, enchiladas, pot pies, etc - but freezing a couple others in plastic wrap. I don't know why, but I never thought of that.


    I'll have to post my recipe for easy Costo chicken pot pies (and more to portion out and freeze) tomorrow.

    pleeease do! also if someone can explain how to freeze the chicken for me that would be awesome!

    They actually now sell the breast meat from the rotisserie chickens in a big blister pack, 2 lbs., 10 oz. of it, for around $4-5/lb, if I recall right. I've got it in my frig and will need to split it up and freeze it later today.

    I don't mess with using chicken carcasses. Most of the good stuff from the bones is cooked out in the rotisserie. Raw chicken bones make the best stock.

    If I wanted to freeze the meat for later, I'd pull it off the bones to wrap it more airtight and take less freezer space. :)
