I am also on a high protein diet and they are only bars at Costco that have 1 gram of protein/10 calories which is the ratio of my diet and most of my meals. Yeah, the Costco membership is worth it just for the protein bars and protein powders they have there if you weightlift. I've not found a better deal outside of short-term factory seconds stuff at places like Grocery Outlet which just put stuff out as they find it. Aldi/Lidl are really competitive with Costco on a lot of stuff though. Canned chicken or tuna are also great sources of affordable protein. Use some of the taco seasoning on that for another affordable protein source. In other news, Costco saved me about $400/6mths on car insurance going through them over every other insurer I could find. Recently it's shot up to ~$1k/6mths despite the fact that I drive like 2k miles a year at most, and I've not been in an accident in like 15 years. Only ~$600/6mths through Costco. So that pays for the membership lol. Nitrousoxide fucked around with this message at 21:24 on Apr 23, 2024 |

Do you prefer your chicken shell-on or shell-off?

Something that I've taken to using for Costco's big portions lately is a vacuum sealer for mason jars. It's not a real canning tool, so it won't extend the life of food (nearly) indefinitely, but it can double or triple the time before perishable stuff goes bad, especially if also stored in the fridge like you'd normally do. Or keep things like cookies from going stale, even if they'd still technically still be edible, for a lot longer. Things like the huge packages of lettuce which are impossible for one or two people to eat before they go bad are actually usable now if you split them up into multiple jars. Plus, since it's for mason jars, you can just wash the jars out and reuse, rather than having to buy special vacuum bags.

pencilhands posted:I should get into preserving, sounds like a fun hobby One of the neat things is that Costco sells a bunch of stuff that comes in mason jars, so if you're already getting that stuff anyway, the containers are free and the only thing that'll cost you is the ~$15-20 for the vacuum sealer and another ~$15 for some reusble lids.

pencilhands posted:why isn't costco on doordash or grubhub etc https://sameday.costco.com/store/costco/ Mind you, everything is marked up by like 15-20%. It kind of wipes out any savings. The 2-day shipping is somewhat better. I'd only recommend it if you, don't have a car or going to one would be a big chore. In-store prices are still significantly better.
