I’m sharing a roundup of my favorite healthy foods from Costco!
Hello! How are you? I hope you are having a wonderful day! I have an exciting Zoom call this morning and then we’re taking Liv to her first contact lens lesson. She’s been wanting them for quite some time, so I hope she likes them.
For today’s post, let’s talk about the club.
The only club I do lately hahaha.
I love Costco, which is one of the most adult things about me. I can go there for five things and spend a thousand dollars, so I don’t go there very often. When we go, we stock up on our beloved favorites and it’s so fun to see what new products and brands they have. They’ve really upped their game with organic and minimally processed options in recent years, so I wanted to mention a few of my favorites.
I’d love to hear about your Costco staples too!
