What's in my Costco Cart?

I like to buy Smart water from Costco. My almonds are getting low, so I picked up another bag. I like to get the large container of the Fage Greek Total Zero yogurt. I got some avocados (so much cheaper than they are at the regular grocery store) to go with the Mary's crackers.

Rosanne told me that Costco now is carrying the Mary's Crackers, so I picked up a box. They only have the original and I think the herb tastes the best with my avocado, but they are a better price here and are still good. They are made with flax seed, quinoa, and brown rice, so they are a great whole grain snack.
She has also been telling me about these brown rice bowls, so I picked them up as well. They are individually portions of brown rice. I haven't tried them yet, but I will let you know how I like them when I do. I really like the TJ brown rice because it is a little sticky, but these are really good because they don't take up space in my freezer.

I'm always on a mission to just run into Costco and get the items I need and get out of there. I don't stroll the isles like I do at the grocery store, so I miss the new items they start carrying. She also told me that they are now carrying the Bob's Red Mill Organic Quinoa. I'm just so excited about this. Cooked in low sodium chicken or vegetable broth makes it really good. I love added it to my salads. Grains take longer to digest than fruits and vegetables, so going with an organic kind is best for your body.
