Costco Trip

I disclosed over here that a Costco trip was coming up this week ... and yeah, it could sort of, kind of, maybe go against the Pantry Challenge BUT there really isn't a whole lot of pantry items.

I wanted to list a side by side of my shopping list and my receipt but I believe the receipt made it to the trash to the street already ... I can be too efficient apparently.

Ok. Here we go (and remember, everything is COSTCO SIZE):

Papertowels $14.99
Sunny D x 2 $9.79 less $3 each
Sunchip (24 pk) $8.79 less $2
Kirkland brand Fabric Softner
360 piece plastic cutlery set $10.99 (I've been delaying way too long in buying more and the last bbq we had to use REAL stuff)
3 dz xlarge eggs x 2 $3.69 each
24 pk Kirkland variety beer $18.99 (I've heard real good things about the ales so I'm excited to try)
6 pk romaine lettuce $4.29
5 lbs of large tomatoes $6.49
Organic baby spinach $4.29
Big stack of half steam trays $6.49 (these are party bbqs and part of  our hurricane supplies)

Kirkland tylenol brand $11.79 (fyi, you know there is a recall, right?)
Prenatal vitamins $18.49 less $3 ... NO I'm not expecting but the doctor had my MIL taking this after her surgery so figured it could help me out, ya know?
pomegranate juice, 100% $6.59
gallon skim milk $3.25
gallon 2% milk x 2 $3.45 each
4 half and half (quart) $1.79 each
3 heavy cream (quart) $3.39 each
KS Cibo $7.99 (need to go look and see what this is? I hate that when it happens.

Total $403.57 but I also had a $24.91 check to redeem (executive membership, only done for 2 months!) so $384.42 total.

I am bummed, yet again, could NOT find the carnation breakfast mix ... it's hit and miss alot of the times. Also, they were moving stuff around, as in re-arranging! Ack. Good thing too as I had Pelligrino on my list because I really enjoy it with a nice dinner. But seriously, sparkling water?? :)

So, been to Costco/Sams/BJ's lately?

Smelly Shoe Fix!

Image
Honestly, we have real good hygiene habits in my house, I can assure you of that! But, lets face it, living in paradise with 125% humidity can be a little trying sometimes ... my running shoes (which have NOT seen much running action for quite a while) get a little ripe smelling ... and oh man, you should smell the shoes that Hubby wears outside in the yard, patio, garage and boat that constantly get wet ... enough to suck the oxygen right out of your body ... whew! Then you have the Boy ... who works out pretty darn hard and doesn't always wear socks, nor does the Princess ... I mean, seriously, I've had to throw shoes away because you could smell them just sitting there. No one wants to be the person that people are wrinkling their nose at when they are walking by you! So when I saw the featured post for the Smelly Shoe Solution (and dang, I'm still trying to find the original post because I had no need to bookmark it, such a simple fix!) Yes. That's IT!

Non Toxic Mosquito Spray

Image
Let's face it, living in Paradise does have a few drawbacks with the #1 complaint being ... BUGS. Yeah, bugs.  Mostly mosquitoes that can just ruin an evening of relaxation on the patio ... those pesky little guys can really do a number on you quickly!  Heaven forbid if you are one of those who are very sensitive to the bites (the Boy), you will have welts in no time. So Hubby always decides to spray AFTER everyone starts swatting the air and scratching. We have to gather up our drinks and appetizers, go indoors and wait for 20 minutes or so for the toxic fog to flat away ... only to be swatting and scratching AGAIN in 30 minutes. After seeing THIS tip a few too many times, I figured, what the heck, $5 at Walmart is worth it to try, right? Guess what?  It seems to work!!!  I need to do a few more nights to say for certain but I say it's WAY better than that can of toxic stuff ... and cheaper to boot! You must use the ORIGINAL flavor, and yes, it nee

Rice Cooker - Hard Boiled Eggs

Image
One of the things I picked up at Costco was a new Rice Cooker. The one I have, well, I gave that to the Boy when he went away to college (so he could make his macaroni and cheese), not to mention, it was small as heck, like mini size! So, I figured, you know, Hubby likes to make rice occasionally. The Boy makes brown rice in the microwave every other day and leaves the bubbly residue behind for ME to find when I go to heat something up (I hate a dirty microwave, totally wigs me out and sends me running for the windex!) ... so I grabbed the rice cooker ($29.95), a 10 pound bag of organic brown rice and a 20 pound bag of Basmati rice. I'm asking myself now, a whole week later, what the hell am I going to do with 20 pounds of Basmati rice? Anyways. Then I was reading the recipe booklet that came along with the cooker. They had one recipe that said to add the eggs, unshelled, to the steamer basket.  Ok. That made me re-read it a few times. Unshelled? Did they mean out of the shell?
