I’m the kind of mom that prefers to do my grocery shopping within a\u00a0few kilometer radius from my home.\u00a0 I can easily get the girls in the stroller and off we go – no car loading or gas required.\u00a0\u00a0 We have the luxury of living pretty darn close to some fantastic\u00a0local stores here\u00a0in Toronto.\u00a0\u00a0 That’s where I\u00a0do 80% of\u00a0my grocery shopping and spend our hard earned dollars.<\/p>\n

As for the other 20%…<\/p>\n

When my husband and I\u00a0need a\u00a0kid-free date,\u00a0we\u00a0leave the little ones with\u00a0the grandparents\u00a0and venture to Costco.<\/a>\u00a0 Sad but true.\u00a0\u00a0 There’s something about that place that\u00a0I secretly love.\u00a0 Maybe it’s knowing that I will walk away with a fabulous deal or it’s the anticipation of what new\u00a0goodies I’ll\u00a0find.\u00a0\u00a0 We do the ‘Costco date’ once every few months with the intention of replenishing some staples,\u00a0but end up buying\u00a0much more\u00a0100% of the time.<\/p>\n

I recently did a Periscope on my favourite healthy purchases from what is now the 2nd largest retailer in the world, Costco (a wholesale membership-only warehouse club).<\/p>\n
