Costco Turkey Chili — quick, healthy, inexpensive, and delicious

March 27, 2016 by not your average mom 4 Comments

I want to share my Costco turkey chili recipe with you because it’s super easy to make, it’s tasty, it’s fairly healthy, it freezes well, and it’s inexpensive.

Don’t Be An A$$hole

November 1, 2015 by not your average mom 13 Comments

Today I went to my favorite place — Costco — and I saw this: Eleven carts. Eleven fucking carts. I do most of my grocery shopping at Costco. I love Costco. And one of the great things about Costco is that they have like a hundred and fifty cart returns in the parking lot. They […]
