I LOVE Costco! Maybe it's the fact that I like stocking up on items so that I know that I am always prepared for whatever may come up. Although the downside to that is that I'm always coming out of there spending at least 100 bucks for a couple of things. For the past 6 months or so, I've been buying tuna steaks from Costco. They have been very very fresh and the price you pay per a pound is super duper reasonable. For the most part though, I don't buy from the meat department, because I don't need 10 lbs of meat unless we have to feed like 15 people. I do like their preseasoned packaged meats though....some carne asada, corned beef and the smoked salmon! Smoked salmon is so delicious....not the Kirkland Brand. Anyways, Costco has some pretty fresh meats and I always get to buy a book when I go. I can't resist when it says that original price is 9.99 and the book is 6.99...must be the Chinese in me. Costco doesn't always carry the same items all the time as I found out with the brown rice for the doggy. Yes, the dog eats brown rice. Overall, I am a frequent shopper at Costco and I will continue to be.
P.S. No one can pass up the $1.50 polish sausage/hot dog and a soft drink!
