Your Costco must-haves

I am wearing Costco Birkenstocks right now!!

I live in my Costco Birkenstocks--- probably should get a second pair!

Sorry if everyone else knows, but what is Chaos?

Sorry if everyone else knows, but what is Chaos?

Its one of those snacks by the company that does Pirates Boot, its corn chips, doritos, cheetos, fritos, pretzels and CARAMEL CORN. I am obsessed with it.

I don't know about the red vine stuff. But if you like red licorice, have you tried the Australian stuff Lakeland sells? I don't have time to get a link... we're on our way out the door. But they sell it online and in their shops!

Poundland sells bags of 'soft eating Australian strawberry flavour liquorice' for... you guessed it:  £1 a bag.  I tried it and it's fab... just like Lakeland's expensive stuff.

How much do they cost?

How much do they cost?

They are I think under £30, usually about £10 cheaper than the stores.

The Birkenstocks in my Costco were £15

Hmmmmmm... thanks!

Thanks on the Chaos.  That sounds so like something I'd enjoy.  I'm going to check out the new Costco on Saturday, so I'll look for it.

I tried an Australian red licorice.  Can't remember the brand, but it was pretty good, but not the same.  The consistency was good, but the flavour was fruitier than just a plain red vines-type licorice.  I liked it, but it didn't satisfy the craving. 

This is all payback for me laughing at my sister for craving food from certain restaurants where we grew up while she was pregnant in Florida.  I used to go to those and ring her while I ate the things she craved.  It was so mean, and now my bad karma is coming back to haunt me as I'm even further away than she was in Florida.

Cadenza, I'm afraid I didn't see any corn dogs - though I admit it was the last thing we looked for and the toddler was kicking off.

We did pretty well I must say. We got:

cat food
litter
chicken thighs
flank steak
cumberland sausages
pumpkin bread mix
wine gums (for DH)
espresso coffe (Illy)
soap
chopped tomatoes
coconut milk
beer
ziplock freezer bags
peanut butter
chocolate covered raisins
frozen shrimp
bin liners
cranberry juice
passata
tuna

I had thought we'd get diapers but we did the math and Lidl's are cheaper.

The meat alone should last us 16+ meals (not including the shrimp).

Does anyone know if they have giant bags of frozen fruit at Costco here?

Yes they do, the kind with peaches and melons. Yummy.

White vinegar in gallon bottles, cranberry juice, veggie ravioli, tortillas, cheese.  (WHY no Clamato, Costco?? whine..)

Am I the only person who hates Costco?  It gives me major anxiety to go in there.

Guess what...Waitrose carries Clamato juice!!!
