As I am guessing many of the main chefs in families are women, you may be like me and mentally planning meals weeks in advance. I can normally tell you the meals I have available for the next three weeks even if I am not a person who has it all planned out on an Excel spreadsheet.
I do a two monthly trip to Costco, a monthly big shop at the supermarket and then just pop in for fresh milk and veg.
Today was my Costco trip and as last time I went with my friend P who introduced me to the The Chap. She is a retired lady, and as she does not have a Costco card we go together and I pay then she gives me her share back when we get to her house.
I mainly go for the meat, picking up two months supply at a good reduction to supermarket prices.
4 racks of ribs for £9.48. £6 for one rack in Tesco for less meat. I have to add the sauce, but at a Pound from Poundland that's not a problem.
16 chicken breasts for about £12, 2.2kg of strewing steak for £9. And a 2kg pack of bacon containing about 50 thick slices for £7.78.
You buy in big catering size trays, so as there are only two of us I have to bag it into portion sizes. The chicken is so big I bag it in singles as one breast will do two of us in a curry.
You would think tonight we would be munching our way through it. Not true as this week week I got given this..
2 free pheasants shot by my new boss. I was delighted as the freezer still contains some salmon steaks after he gave me a whole line caught Scottish salmon a month ago.
Free food is even better than discounted food.
Costco is not only good for meat, I also buy wine there as Barefoot Merlot is £7 in the supermarket, but there I get a box of six bottles for £26.38, less than a fiver a bottle.
I still have to do the main shop, but if by chance we have a zombie apocalypse in the near future TC and I will be eating like kings for a considerable amount of time without having broken the bank.
I am always interested in what other people think is good at Costco, so suggestions would be welcome.
I have learnt after a few trips that if I do not get their pistachios TC will pout.
Frugally yours
