Today we did our Costco grocery shopping. We try to only go every 2 weeks...after payday. We make a list and really try to stick with it and Big Daddy being the numbers guy that he is always makes an estimate to what we might be paying. The estimate today was about $80.
Well we didn't stick to our list very well....but we didn't go crazy. Okay we went a little crazy. We haven't had salmon in a very long time and there is a special day coming up where we need a special little treat. And really you have to love the convenience of eggo's. But anywho.....
The grand total....$259.....Sweet Fancy Moses!

That's why it's called the hundred dollar store. Every now and then I get out of there for less than $100. I always ask the clerk if I am going to trigger the 'surcharge' for spending less than the minimum $100 that seems to be required there. LOL!
ReplyDeleteI have also had to ban my hubs from Costco trips. The last time I took him we were up to $300! Yikes!
I left Costco's with only spending $30.00. I checked my reciept to see if something was wong!!!
ReplyDelete$30!?! Are you sure you weren't at Shopko?
ReplyDeleteWhenever William goes with me we go WAY over budget! I have to go alone.
ReplyDeleteHe always tells me he'll "be good." No such luck.
I love their salmon. And eggos.
Why must salmon and other foods that are good for you cost so much? I always end up spending extra there because they always have fun things at good prices which I hadn't planned on. So I try not to go too often.
ReplyDeleteWhat is Salmon for? What holiday? You feed each other Salmon in bed on Valentines or what? Love that Fish in bed feel!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOk- That cracked me up, I just laughed because I got a joke that I didn't even mean to give. And I'm not deleting it, because I am so funny!
Where we talking about slippery fish or Costco? I forgot!!!
It's called the $200 store for a reason.
ReplyDeleteI go to Costco about once every 2 months. Then stock up, but I would love to get out of there under $100. And, yes, I always spend more when I have Mike or the kids. I let them pick out snacks and can't get out without at least 2 packs of oreos!
ReplyDeleteThat always happens to me at Cotco. I never stick to my list. I love your blog!

I have to say the Big Daddy is the one that faithfully follows the list and I go around adding things here and there. We do better when he goes by himself...which he does.
ReplyDeleteThe salmon is for Big Daddy's birthday. I am not sure I want to know what goes on at your house on Valentine's Day Bren, but we keep the fish out of the bed.
we don't have a costco but Sam's is much the same. and I am like most of the other comments, my husband is NOT allowed to go. but I have to confess that I tend to leave with a book everytime I go.
