Costco Lifestyle pt 1

// February 17th, 2009 // Uncategorized

I am really interested in eating better. I have been trying to make better choices about not only what gos into my body, but what comes out of my wallet. It is in that vain that I am really interested what my meals really cost and what each part of a meal costs.

After my last run to Costco I took my receipt and broke it down by unit and here are my results:

Item Name Total Cost #Units@UnitPrice Unit Measure
Yogurt $8.89 12@$.74 1 container
RD Apples $7.79 22@$.35 1 Apple = .4375lbs
Baby Carrots $5.79 10@$.58 .5lb
Sausage Patties $10.39 24@$.43 1 Pattie
Egg Beaters $7.69 48@$.16 1/4cup(1 egg)
Red Peppers $4.99 6@$.83 1 pepper
Chiabata Bread $4.49 8@$.56 1 Bun
Ground Turkey $13.92 24@$.58 4oz Hamburger
15 Grain Bread $6.39 14@$.45 2 slices

Let me let that sink in and later I will do some meal analysis

    Nice – a true shopper. I do this too at places like Sam’s and Costco – or when I buy anything in bigger than normal size!
