Du'ers who are Costco members, how's that working for you?

[Jane Austin]

117. I'm widowed, but it's still great.

I had a hard time adjusting at first, but I bought a bunch of Ball glass jars (pint-sized)and plastic lids for them.

When I open anything with several servings, I just put serving-sized amounts in those jars and freeze them. I always have delicious and healthy food on hand that way.

If you don't have a separate freezer, you'd be surprised at how (relatively) cheap small ones are. It really cuts down on shopping trips and on eating stuff that isn't good for you.

I freeze cheese, soup (their chicken/tortilla soup is my mainstay), leftovers, vegetables, mushrooms - before they go bad just microwave for a few minutes and freeze in ice cube trays. Pop them out and store in sandwich bags. Add them to any and every thing.

That huge bag of organic frozen broccoli isn't so big once you microwave it and freeze it in jars.

They have some wonderful things and if you plan a little it's well worth the membership.
