RiverMom Eats: I hate (LOVE!) Costco

I went to stock up on some stuff from Costco. Notice there is no produce! I plan on going to a nearby farm stand tomorrow. This is some of my stuff.

Bubba (and I) love these.

just the eggs & yogurts are new

I bought this for dinner tonight. It was ok, I probably wouldn't buy it again.

These crackers are really good.

I also got a jump on back to school shopping. Actually I only do it for D, I order the twins' stuff through the school & they get it the first day. I actually love fall school shopping, so it makes me kind of sad. But I still have D for now! Imagine how much fun college shopping must be! Ok, settling down. Back to the backpacks.

High Sierra is the best brand I've used so far. In the recent years I've used NorthFace (crap), Gap (pretty durable) JanSport (complete garbage) and these which hold up fabulously! D actually doesn't need another one, his is still fine from this past year! BabyGirl Princess cannot be caught dead with the same one, so obviously the purple one is hers. I'm hoping Bubba doesn't need one & I can snag the green one-it has a padded computer section. For only $15-how awesome is that price?!

This dress is better in person & with a real bra.

These plates are BPA free and so thick & substantial you'd swear they're stoneware. Oh and they're adorable & summery.

There's a few more unpictured items, but this is the bulk of it. A pretty good start. I also told them all not to eat it all in one week! Food is expensive! I told them I would make them eat PB&J everyday for the rest of the summer if they ran thru all this in their usual fashion. I'm so mean, I know.

Tonight for dinner I did a little pre-grilling for the week ahead for the kids too. I also figured out how to reheat corn on the cob-on the grill! It was good!

On the grill-leftover Italian sausages, veggie hot dogs, chicken sausages
