Grocery Shopping

Once a week, my family goes grocery shopping. We start at Costco, eat dinner at the food court, shop, drive through the gas station that is between Costco and Fred Meyer and fill up the tank, then we finish shopping at Fred Meyer.

I LOVE this routine! I love having a break from cooking dinner on these nights, too.

So............the Costco food court isn't exactly.........healthy. It's CHEAP, but not particularly healthy.

What to do?

Our Costco is serving a new BBQ brisket sandwich...I asked to see the nutrition info on it (YEEPS!!!!!!) I think it is 73 carbs! It is a "trial item" so I don't know how long it will be around. But I've figured out if I don't eat the bun, I would guess that removes about half the carbs...and it still satisfies.

Instead of eating it "burger style" with my hands holding the bun and the beef oozing everywhere making a mess, I just take the buns off and eat it with a fork! It comes with a little coleslaw for crunch and I'm pretty sure it is full of sugar, because it is deliciously sweet. VERY satisfying!

So for now, that's what I'm doing for grocery nights (instead of pizza)!
