What Made You Feel Good Today

[Puffwagon]

Wmmfg?

 

I bought a 6 pack of 1.25l v8 juice a 6 bucks and change from Costco the other day.

 

The local shop wants 5 bucks for 1 bottle.

OK puff... Costco. Yes or no.

It's time for me to either pull the trigger on a membership with 2 kids or never dare to go. Lolol

One thing I am definitely getting is a dog. It's one thing I miss being a renter.

There's a dog park I ride through on the way home that always lifts the spirits.

I really wished I had been able take to a video of how excited my nephew was meeting his first puppy last year, I don't know who was more excited him or the golden pup, so much squeeling & patting & soft kissing on the head.

I got a 10mth old jack russell u can have??

Full of beans and will do the digging for a new pool in just a few days!

Red cattle ftw!! Had 3 cattles all been beautiful loving dogs unless im not home and u come in the yard or something... will play with u all day but good luck leaving if I aint there.

I would say yes.

 

If you have the need for lots of food and have the space to store it then you will save a lot of money.

 

I found that in order for it to be worthwhile, you need to have a list of items that you stick to and not impulse buy or you will you lose the savings.

 

I buy; cereal, tinned tomatoes, beans and sketti as well as tuna, sauces that get used regularly like bbq, tomato and american mustard, plain flour in 12kg bags and sr in 6 x 1kg packs, sugar in 25 kg bags, toilet paper in 60 roll bags, pasta in various shapes, various spreads eg: peanut butter, jam, vegemite, nutella, coffee, tea and milo, pet food, fridge items such as cheese, marg and butter and occasionally juice and milk.

 

Haha I also buy various batchelor noodles by the box.

 

Toiletries are cheaper as well and meat and eggs can be cheaper.

 

We also do a Coles delivery order every 2 weeks for bread, milk, nappies and other small items.

 

When I'm walking around shopping I compare Coles prices with Costco items to make sure I'm getting the best deal.

 

I check used by or best before dates to regulate how much of one item I should buy.

 

We also buy meat in bulk from the local butcher for around $8.50/kg and store a side of beef, lamb and pork in our chest freezer. 

 

Chicken is cheap enough at Coles raw but Costco sells a roast chicken for $6. We get 2 and still have some left over.

 

They have a little food court where you can get a chicken wrap and a smoothie for $7.50 along with other foods like pizza slices, hotdogs etc.

 

This year alone we have saved at least a couple of thousand dollars by buying food at Costco rather than Coles.

Not really a question.

 

You can save more than the cost of membership on your first shop if you want to.

 

Can also get a refund on the cost if you decide it's not for you.

 

Jet will love the meat options for his bbq's.

 

Cheap fuel (if they have a servo)

 

Bulk buy baby and laundry stuff. 

 

Lots of food options that aren't available through the normal channels.

 

Their "homebrand" Kirkland is very good quality.

 

$50 for a pair of Levi's

U would of just won jet over with meat and bbq

[Puffwagon]

They have fuel at the Churchill road store.

I think the one here was 10-20 c/l cheaper last time I was there (98 for the price of ulp)

I wish costco was in WA :( I don't care if they're some huge USA company as long as less money will go to coles and woolworths (be funny if one of the two had a deal with costco or something dodgy)

 

at least we have ALDI now!

Wmmfg.
Had another scan and blood test today... that didn't particularly make me feel good. (I don't know how I've got any blood left in my body tbh) but always a silver lining, saw bubs,
36 weeks and on 5lbs 15 at this point.
And I have a max 3 weeks left if I dont go before hand.
Nice knowing an end date tbh.
Very tired and sick now. Have to come home and have a rest from walking 10 mins up a slight hill. Lol.
