Costco - A Great Store For Organics

People are often surprised to hear that I do the majority of my shopping at Costco.  But I really do.  It's amazing how much organic food they sell now.

We live on a budget just like everyone else, so I try to buy in bulk and freeze things to save money.  The fact that I can do this at Costco with organics makes me very happy.

Take yesterday's shopping trip, for instance.  Here's a list of the organic food I picked up:

• Bunny-Luv organic carrots
• TreeTop organic applesauce
• Kirkland organic apple juice
• Alpine Valley organic whole grain bread (we LOVE this bread)
• Sun-Maid organic raisins
• Kirkland organic extra virgin olive oil
• Ruta Maya organic coffee
• Daisy Fresh organic eggs
• Kirkland organic butter
• Kirkland lowfat milk

I also bought a few great all-natural (but not organic) products, such as:

• Coleman hot dogs
• gala apples
• lovely, sweet cantaloupes
• watermelon
• Tilamook mild cheddar cheese

Other organic items I saw but didn't need that day:

• organic quinoa
• organic baby spinach
• organic pasta (various kinds and shapes)
• organic pasta sauce
• organic cereal
• organic hummus
• organic bean and cheese burritos

I also saw a number of great green products such as:

• HydroRight dual-flush kits
• solar Halloween decorations
• solar landscape lights
