Costco

[nandmsmom]

I'm headed there tomorrow. Is there anything fabulous that I should check out as a post op? I think I saw someone mention some crab cakes.

[shellyac]

The premier protein shakes are pretty good, they have 30 g of protein and only 1 g of sugar.

[redbabe08]

i prefer their frozen shrimp (jumbo) & scallops to other brands.

crab cakes are better than most too - but i prefer to get their lump crab meat & make my own.

cheese & more cheese

Never been, but will tag along with my friends next time.. they have come home with a huge bag of gigantic shrimp, cheap. Shrimp so big that I couldn't eat two a few months ago.. threw them on the grill after marinating.. oh yeah.

Salmon burgers in the freezer section... 12 to a package, around $15.97.
Absolutely yummy and quick to fix.
My daughter would eat 3 a day if I'd let her.

Fage yogurt, cottage cheese, eggs, cooked chicken breast strips in 2-lb packages (great for my white chili, for chicken salad, and I bought some Tikka Masala sauce at World Market that I put on some the other day), maple flavored bacon, Amylu apple-and-gouda chicken sausages (i make a sausage-n-peppers thing with these, plus they're good just fried up with eggs for breakfast), giant jars of peanut butter for my flourless pb cookies, organic hamburger (this is 80/20 I think, so not exactly extra-lean, but that's OK by me).

Most of their fresh meats are in packages that are too large for me, I live alone, but I've been thinking of getting a pork butt and doing EN's hunk-o-critter method in the crockpot, or the roasted pork recipe that just showed up in the Recipes section on here. MAN that looks good! A little of the low-carb BBQ sauce (also on the Recipes board), freeze it up in single servings, and I'll be happily eating hunk-o-pork for weeks.

We don't have Costo, Sam's Club or BJ's is out choice. I like Sams chicken susages and their whole grain chips are awesome

[nandmsmom]

Yummy ideas everyone. Keep em coming.

I second the Premier protein shakes - they're my favorite RTD shakes by far (in chocolate - that's the only flavor I've ever seen in the stores here).

Also, their Queso Blanco (Mexican cheese for frying) is cheaper than even my local international markets.

Organic romaine lettuce, pork chops, marinated salmon filets individually packaged, organic raspberries, organic eggs, Fage, Dubliner sharp cheddar cheese, organic butter.

Oh yes, how could I forget - Premier protein shakes. My Costco has both choc and vanilla, and I don't care for the vanilla. Eventually they're coming out with strawberry. A few months ago I sent away for a 2-container sample of the strawberry, and I thought it was pretty good. Been looking for it at Costco ever since, in vain so far.

And the queso cheese, of course! I fry about a half-slice in butter, tastes just like french toast.

[mooney]

the queso cheese fried is superb. I put syrup on it and we also think it tastes like french toast. never looked for it at Costco., before. thanks

[muffinsmom]

yup, I found Joseph's sugar free maple syrup, and that's what I use too. I said half-slice above, I meant half-inch slice, LOL!

I found Lean Cuisine Thai Chicken Spring Rolls at Costco last time. Delish.

I also get the individual hummus cups, 16 cups to a box. Love hummus.

A lot of their chicken products come in divided sealed packets, so you can just cut off one packet that might hold 2 chicken breasts for example, and keep the rest in the freezer.

Hummus is a staple purchase for me at Costco. I buy the big tub because they have my favorite flavor (Sabra Pine Nut) and my kids love it too.

Till the 26th they have coupons for pretty good savings on all different vitamins

I've got to throw in a "Me too!" on the Premier Protein Shakes. I practically live on those things... in fact I am drinking a chocolate one right now. I get mine at Sam's Club.

Even though it's not high protein, I like their Garden Lites Roasted Veggie Souffle'. Low-cal, low-carb. I also like their Multi-grain coated Tilapia filet. About 1/2 the tilapia and 1/3 the souffle can fill me up.

[sleevedivanoire11]

I forgot the tequila lime chicken wings are good, too!

[mooney]

Are these frozen?

If they have them, the Madras Lentils are really good. My MIL turned me onto them when we were in South Florida last month.

I have a Sams in my area. Heavy cream, heavy cream and more heavy cream for my coffee. In fact- my DH has forebode me from making coffee anymore, because I made it so strong to accommodate my cream fetish. Also, love trying the different cheeses. Oh, cannot come home without a rotisserie chicken.
