Morning!
Thank you guys SO MUCH for all your wonderful insight on shopping wholesale!! You made it sound so exciting! When I was growing up we were members of Sam’s Club for a little while and my mom would take me for “lunch” so I could feast on all the samples. It was the highlight of my week. Yep, I was a cool kid! Since the majority of you said Costco is better I mapped it out and actually found out that there’s one 11 miles from my condo. I have some time today after I pack so I think I might just go check it out and ask them if I can roam around the store before purchasing a membership. I was a little anxious asking Ryan about it but he immediately said YES and then got as excited as a little boy at Christmas. Ryan LOVES finding a good deal. Seriously. When I was all set to buy the oven we have now he had to extend the process by three days just so he could personally go to every discount appliance store within a 25 mile radius to check who had the best deal. We ended up buying one with a ding on it that Ryan talked down to the guy and we got for mucho cheap. Boys!
We were up until MIDNIGHT last night, as Ryan was, errrr, trying to be an electrician and hang a new light fixture. Without getting into details lets just say the light fixture is not yet up and the place is a mess. This morning I tried again to make a GM with frozen spinach. I used a naner, frozen spinach, frozen blueberries, unsweetened almond milk, 1 scoop Amazing Meal and 1 scoop almond butter. The verdict? Not so much. It has GOTTA be the frozen spinach! It makes the smoothie so thick its almost undrinkable. I gave it to Ryan and he loved it (lol). I’ve gotta get some fresh spinach up in here—I’m dying!
So instead, I had my last hard boiled egg with my last Ezekiel english muffin with almond buttah and preserves—
We desperately need a major grocery shop but I’m waiting on Costco and when we get back from Wisconsin. No point stocking up then leaving town!
On the agenda today:
- Cardio (even though my legs are quite sore from those lunges and squats yesterday!)
- PACK!
- Check out Costco and maybe Sam’s if I have time to compare
- Clean house
- Write
- Library for book to read on the plane?
Busy! See you in a bit!

I have never been to Costco, but someone made me dinner with wild sockeye that he bought on sale at Costco and it was amazing.
I don’t know which is better, but my family belongs to Sam’s Club. I wouldn’t worry about it only being the two of you. I eat the majority of the produce in my house. I go through a big container of spinach and spring mix every week, and they’re organic!! The baby carrots are also organic there, which is great. I hope they start to carry more organic produce. I also like to buy the big bags of almonds and walnuts to make my own nut butters. I think it’s worth it!
Awesome! Costco is def the way to go… sam’s is okay but i wish i would have opted for costco.

Hi Jenna,
I missed your first post about wholesale so people have probably already mentioned this but be careful! You can EASILY go overboard at these places and buy things you don’t need. If you go with a list, it’s probably a good deal- but otherwise, yikes!
Costco rocks! Unfortunately, the nearest one is about a 1/2 hour away, so I don’t go often anymore. Sam’s it is! I am buying all the stuff for a GM this weekend…hopefully, I can’t screw it up too bad!
Hi… I just had a question to ask everyone. I bought some of the amazing meal when they had the EatLiveRun sale. I have had it in a smoothie and it tastes pretty good then. It also came with packets of GreenSuperfood. On the directions it says you can mix these little packets with water. Has anyone tried this? I think it is really disgusting. I tried the chocolate one with milk and I thought that was also not too fantastic. Does anyone have any good suggestions of things to mix these packets with? I can’t really make smoothies at work, so I need something besides that.
Too bad on the frozen spinach front. Good thing guys will eat just about anything!
Ooh Costco is great, especially their pizza, I kid you not. Plus a lot of them have their own gas station connected, and the gas is usually a lot cheaper. Have a good day!
I agree that it’s the frozen spinach. I made the same thing this morning and it was like sludge! Mine have never been that heavy before. I can’t believe you’d never been to Costco–I could wander around that place for days!
Ha! We got our fridge really cheap because it had a ding on the side of it but you can’t even see it! We saved about $600!
