Shopping At Costco!

If you are living a healthy lifestyle and want to live it affordably, I highly recommend signing up for a Costco membership card. It is only $50 a year and worth every dollar. You can purchase bulk items that you will be using regularly for a variety of healthy recipes.
I signed up for my card after realizing just how many trips I had to make to the regular grocery store to replace staple items at almost double the cost in some cases. Not to mention, the gas money and time out of your day...



You can get a guest pass to look around and easily compare the prices with their convenient "price per unit" on all of the sales tags. You will likely find big savings on most items. I chose Costco because unlike Sam's Club they have a lot of premium (high qulaity) and organic items, and for a cheaper price than non organic, low quality choices elsewhere. Some of my staple items include:

* 6.5lbs premium individually wrapped chicken breasts $16.99
* 10lb foster farms thinly sliced chicken breasts $22.99
