FALLING ACORNS, MIGHTY OAKS

Costco Haul

I am headed to the beach tomorrow and I’m super excited, as for a long time our trip to Hatteras was up in the air due to a power outage.  Fortunately, we are able to go as the power has been restored.

Yesterday, I went to Costco.  If you’ve ever been a fat lady buying a lot of junk food in bulk, then you will understand my pain.  People were staring with judging eyes.  For all they knew, I could have been buying for a large vacation with a lot of folks (like I was), vacation bible school, or a concession stand.  Regardless, I got what I needed and got it loaded.

Here is the run down of what we have for the beach:

  • Case of Mike’s Hard Lemonade, assorted flavors, 24 pack
  • Case of vinnea sausages (not for the beach, but for my dad), 18 cans
  • Case of Cheezit pouches, 45 pouches
  • Package of Nabs (as we say in the south, the rest of the world says sandwich crakcers), 36 packages
  • Case of 6-count individually wrapped oreos, 30 packages
  • 3.75lb of dog treats (for my parents’ dog, not the beach)
  • A large bottle of ready to drink margarita concotion
  • 2.5lb of salted almonds
  • Case of Diet Coke, 35 cans
  • Case of Rice Krispy treats, 45 treats
  • Case of Kashi granola bras, 35 bars
  • Case of fig bars, 36 bars
  • Case of variety pack snacks including ritz crackers, nutter butters, etc., 40 packages
  • 1lb of dried blueberries
  • Case of Lay’s chips, variety, 54 snack bags
  • Case of 12oz Gatorade, variety, 28 drinks
  • 20 quart party bucket for drinks
  • Case of SunChips, 33 snack bags
  • Case of Motts applesauce, 36 containers

I managed to get all of this in the car, with the other things I have in there like my wagon, my cooler, etc.  So that part was super nice and easy.  Before I can head to my parents’ to spend the night before going to the beach, I have to go to the grocery store to get guinea pig food and hit WalMart for my prescription.  Their pharmacy doesn’t open until 9:00am, sadly, so I’ve got some waiting around to do.

PS–This large Costco haul came out to $202 and some change!
