Day 1b

I'm not quite sure how the posting for this sacrifice will evolve, but Tiff and I just made a CostCo run for fruits and dishwasher detergent. They also had a really nice exercise jacket that I almost got, but for $17 I decided it wasn't necessary.

If you're not familiar with CostCo, it's a great place where you can find a good deal (not everything is) but it's always fun to go because they give out free samples of stuff that you generally wouldn't buy. It makes sense from their perspective that way - trying to get you to buy stuff. Our first trip ever, we tried Bourbon-flavored Chicken and wound up eating the stuff once a week for 6 months.

Today, they free samples were just veiny chicken and fatty lamb. The lamb was good but I would never buy it. Point being though, we didn't eat hardly anything there and were starving leaving. A really good IHOP coupon has been floating around in the car and is talked about quite a bit. After much debate and wishful thinking, we came home and used leftovers to make pizzas on hamburger buns, which are just out of the oven.

CostCo bill: $58.00 even.

58 dollars includes $20 of chicken. This is our first time getting chicken in bulk, but it should make six meals. I think that's agood deal.

Sounds like a good deal now, but let's see if you still have chicken in your freezer next summer.

We still have a few boxes of plastic forks left over from out last Sam's run - 7 years ago.
