Today, I am going to take you to CostCo. This is an initiative by the lovely @dswigle who brings us markets from all over the world. See for yourself. find the #marketfriday and go on a shoppin spree which can take you anywhere.
Usually, I don't like huge stores but I am making an exception for this one. Why, I actually will tell you in another post. Today, I am in a hurry. You know - the Holidays. Shop, shop, shop. Rush, rush, rush.
Let me tell you. this is a huge store!
Isles and isles which look like this.
Right when you come in, you know the holiday season is upon us. Wreath and poinsettias are a sure sign.
And prepared Turkey, ready to pop in the oven lets you know that it is Thanksgiving in the US.
And huge bottles of wine are on display!
Well, I don't drink and I am to bring appetizers. So, off to the section I most often go to.
So much organic vegetables!! When we were doing the Gerson Therapy, I bought at least 7 of those big bags of carrots every week. Without the great price at Costco, I don't think we could have paid for all the produce and coffee we needed.
I had added Greek Yogurt to my shopping list. @dmcamera made me do it!!
She told me about the ice cream she is eating. Greek yogurt, vanilla, frozen fruit all blended together and eaten right away like a soft serve. If you are an ice cream lover like me - how can I not go home with a big tub of yogurt?
This is what my shopping cart looked like when I got to the checkout. All organic besides the olives.
That is good. What I don't like is the huge amount of plastic I am taking home with me.
Of course, I can bake bread and often do. But my husband only likes the bread you see in the cart. Hummus I make from beans I cook myself. But this was a Holiday and right now, I don't feel like cooking.
I am grateful that I have the choice. That I can buy all kinds of food already prepared and still pretty healthy. The plastic containers will be reused over and over again. The bags will be reused and then recycled. Still, I would love to have a different option in the near future.
And today is finally the day I am posting this early! Not when everybody's Friday has come and gone.
