Linked to Menu Plan Monday
This site is not associated with Costco. Costco did not compensate me for these posts. In fact, I don’t think Costco has ever heard of me.
I’m am totally interested in doing this…but have one question about the menu. From what I understand, the shopping list you posted covers four weeks worth of food, right? However, are you only posting one week’s menu at a time? Just want to make sure I’m not missing anything! Thank you!
Glad you’re thinking of following along Gina! You are right. I plan to post one week’s menu at a time. Let me know if you have any other questions! Andrea
This is a fabulous idea.I feed a family of eight and shop Costco weekly.I have the executive membership which gives you a percentage of what you spend throughout your year back.I am excited to try out some of your recipes.
Thank you Joyce! I have the executive membership too. I hope you find some ideas/recipes you like – and that you’ll share any tips/tricks/recipes you have.

Awesome! We are getting a Costco this Fall, can’t wait! I like Sams but they have NO organic food and that’s what we mainly eat!
Rachel – We used to shop Sam’s Club too – and you are right. They have NO organic food. Wait until you get Costco!!!!! You are gonna love it! Andrea
When are you linking your recipes? I am especially interested in the tortilla soup
I would LOVE to do this but it includes meat
… We are pretty heavy on the veggies in our house
We have a family of 8 and I try to limit my Costco trips to once every two weeks. We have a limited supply of organic food at ours, but we do have a decent amount. It seems like everytime I go they have more organic products though. I would love to try your baked oatmeal recipe. Do you have it posted somewhere? We have organic blueberries, peaches and strawberries at ours that would be great in baked oatmeal.
Sarah, I do have my baked oatmeal recipe up: http://thegreenbacksgal.com/Baked-Blueberry-Oatmeal-With-Crumble-Topping/ should get you to the recipe. You know, it seems if I can get something at my Costco that you don’t have at yours, you should be able to request it and get it, doesn’t it ? Andrea
Kathy – I try to do a few meatless meals every week, but you are right – we do eat meat. Maybe you can take that money from the meat and buy more veggie items? Andrea
Hi Jen, My tortilla soup recipe has been published. You can find it under recipes or search for it. Andrea
