The Ten Commandments of Costco

July 14, 2015 by not your average mom 9 Comments

I spend a lot of time at Costco. It’s where I buy about 90% of my groceries. It’s where I can get a big ass ice cream for my kids for a super low price. It’s where I can order a pizza that’s delicious and fairly inexpensive and ready to eat when I’m done shopping. I […]

Easy and Inexpensive Chicken Stock

July 8, 2015 by not your average mom 4 Comments

It’s no secret that I love Costco. It saves me time, and it saves me money. One way I really save money buy shopping at Costco is by making my own chicken stock using their rotisserie chicken. Chicken stock is expensive. A quart costs about $2.75. At least. Since I use a lot of it […]

The best part of my day yesterday happened at Costco.

January 26, 2014 by not your average mom 1 Comment

The best part of my day yesterday happened at Costco. After leaving Numbers 5, 6, and 7 at home with my husband, going to two basketball games, dropping Number 2 off at the Y, and dropping Number 3 off at a birthday party, I headed over to do some grocery shopping with Number 4. Just […]

I get by with a little help from my friends. Especially the ones I’ve never met.

September 29, 2013 by not your average mom 9 Comments

This past week I received a note from a reader. You may have seen it on the facebook page. If not, here it is: Wow. Part of me wanted to know who it was from. But I’m glad I didn’t. Having an anonymous angel out there is kind of nice. Of course, I called the […]
