Photo Tour of “Certified Organics” at Costco

Not a day goes by without someone asking me where I do my grocery shopping. And most folks are surprised to hear that I do the bulk of my shopping at our local Costco store. I don’t eat 100% organic all of the time, but Costco does carry many certified organic products at very reasonable prices. To ease your curiosity, I took a bunch of pictures while I was shopping this week so you can see what I mean…This is not the entirety of their organic selection, and some products do change from week to week, but this is a fairly good sampling of what I found today…(Click photos to enlarge.)

 

A Peek Inside My Grocery Cart

Here’s what I ended up with this week at Costco! Best deal EVER on organic quinoa!! That product, alone, pays for my membership! (Click photos to enlarge!) That’s a FOUR POUND bag, people! Not the tiny little box you find at most stores for 4 bucks! And the maple syrup is the cheapest I’ve seen in town, too! Same is usually true for the ginormous pinepples and bell peppers, lemons and limes!

Even CHEAPER Ketchup Deal!!

Hey Omaha! I just happened upon an even cheaper deal on Annie’s ketchup. First of all, I don’t have a Super Target near my home, so I had no idea that they even carry this brand! Yay! Looks like regular price is just $3.29 per bottle (compared to $3.99 at Whole Foods), but right now through June 4th, Target is selling it for $2.89 each!!! Wow!!

Note: This is the only brand of ketchup that I buy because it’s the only brand I’ve found in Omaha that doesn’t have either of the following in the ingredients list:
1. High fructose corn syrup
2. Vague words like “natural flavor” or “spices” (Annie’s brand actually lists each and every spice in their ingredients list, so I can feel more confident that there’s no hidden MSG in there!)

Deal of the day: Save $1.00 per bottle on Annie’s Organic Ketchup

I’ve never met a person who didn’t fall in love with this ketchup after tasting it for the first time! It’s a great brand with no high fructose corn syrup or vague words like “spices” or “natural flavor” in the ingredients list. (Click photo to enlarge and view ingredients list.) The price for this item is usually $3.99/bottle at Whole Foods, but right now in Omaha it’s on sale for 2/$6.00. That’s $1.00 savings per bottle, so STOCK UP 🙂
