It's Friday

Well, readers and/or followers, I have once again did much needed research on what to buy or not to buy at Costco:

BUY:

• frozen fruits
• maple syrup
• toilet paper
• olive oil
• uncooked cookies. Example: you can buy 21 uncooked cookies for $7.99, or you could buy uncooked 120 cookies for $22.99.
• Healthy bit size snacks
• oatmeal
• vanilla extract
• cereals
• plastic wrap
• rotisserie chicken
• peanut butter
• bagels
• cashews
• batteries
• milk
• coffee pods
• vitamins

Here's what not to buy at Costco

• books
• fresh fruits and veggies
• ground coffee
• spices
• tissues
• soda
• cereal
• plastic wrap
• shampoo or soap
• condiments
• tooth paste
• salsa
• Kirkland detergent

I know that you all appreciate my research. Jeff and I are guilty of buying many of those products, both the yes and the no ones. One of the things we need to watch for is multiples of a product. Example, ketchup. Do you really need multiple bottles? The answer is no. in my opinion. Having multiple bottles, will: (a) not easily fit in the pantry; and our actual use of ketchup is low. 

WALMART: just a quick run through:

• greeting cards
• pet food
• meat and fish
• fresh produce
• organic milk
• maple syrup
• toys
• video games
• books
• magazines

You can do your own research regarding the buy and the buy nots ( I actually don't know to spell that, but you get the idea). Jeff and I buy several products on the "no" list from WalMart. Like, pet food, greeting cards and some veggies.

Call your mom. She's thinking of you!
