in Food and Nutrition
So do you guys take advantage of these club toe stores for your nutrition and if so what do you buy from there?
My Costco membership expired, but I just got a 60day BJ's membership and I was impressed with their selection of food.

I stocked up on Greek yogurt for the week ( Chobani 32oz for $4.99 X4), Perdue individually wrapped chicken breasts (a big pack @2.99lb) and a big packof what I thought was petit sirloin but is actually eye round steak (whatever it's less tasty but less fatty)
And 6 gallons of water. Also got a pack of spices for pretty cheap.

    I go to Costco once every week or two I would say, and what I usually get:

    frozen strawberries
    frozen blueberries (for smoothies!)
    Plain and/or greek yogurt
    olive oil
    broccoli
    spinach
    fresh strawberries
    bananas
    cucumber
    avocados
    tomatoes
    almond milk
    tilapia
    sriracha sauce!
    quinoa
    protein bars (I get the gluten free Smart for Life)
    hummus
    chicken breast
    coffee

    and sometimes a bunch of stuff I don't need, or new things I want to try lol. Love Costco! But it's easy to lose some of the fresh stuff because it's in large quantities - and I live alone. But I try to use it all.

    All of their produce
    Cheese in bulk (shredded, sliced, block) which I freeze in usable amounts
    Almond butter
    Baby formula, diapers, and wipes

    I haven't been a Costco member long at all, but those are the things I've gotten so far that are worth the cost of the membership for our small family (2 adults and a 6-month-old).
