The Costco Diet

Greg and I are getting the majority of our groceries from Costco.  I know it sounds bad, but it turns out to be really good for us. 


Sure we originally did the major trips to Costco that ended in sticker shock and shame. 

Lately though, we just go for fresh fruit, vegetables, and cheese.  Then because we have so much fruit and vegetables that are bound to go bad, we eat them all the time.  It is so cheap.  You can get 5 heads of romaine lettuce for 2.99.  That's salads everyday for a week.  We are both eating healthier, cheaper, and losing weight.  We steer clear of the delicious baked goods section and load up on fresh cherries or grapes. 

We also pick up odds and ends like Shrimp Wonton Soup.  They cost less than $2.00 each when you buy six and they are incredible, especially when all you have to do is pop them in the microwave with a little water for 3 minutes.  At 150 calories each, they are a dieter's gourmet dream.  (Of course, they are tiny bowls.)
