Here's my slightly eccentric review of Kevin's Thai-Style Coconut Curry Chicken. It's $2.15 per serving, and has 20 grams of protein and only 6 grams of carbohydrates.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but 10 pound bags of potatoes are only $3.25 at Aldi right now.

I entered enemy territory today. I'm a Costco shopper, but Sam’s Club had an “Open House” event this weekend, where non-members could shop the store for free. And, $195.38 later, I’m ready to tell you about my adventure.

I think I spent a solid 15 hours putting this list together. Here's a rundown of the baking supplies I buy (or don't buy) from Costco. Because, maybe you're a weirdo like me, and loooove lists!

It tastes naughty, but makes The Nice List. This Barnie's Coffee inspired ice cream is full of grinchy artificial flavors, yet still seduced my taste buds.

Here's my slightly eccentric review of Santa's White Christmas ice cream from Publix:

I'll repent of my pistachio sins later. Here's my silly review of these Lindt Pistachio Truffles.

I’m already a big fan of Grillo’s Pickles. So I was morally obligated to try these Hippeas Chickpea Puffs when they arrived at Costco. It wasn’t greed, it was my divine destiny. Or something.

I finally tried Aldi's famous Cranberry White Cheddar Cheese. It's so full of plump cranberries, it almost disintegrates. But doesn't. Just like me, on Mondays.

This is my second favorite BBQ sauce. It's full of twangy mustard satisfaction, and costs $2.99 per bottle. There's substantially less sugar per serving, with only 10 grams per serving. Made with cane sugar and molasses, but no corn syrup:

Totally agree with that observation! Serving sizes make no sense these days. And yes, I am the nincompoop who bought 56 ounces of a tragically "meh" product. 😹

I loooove corn dogs, but wasn't sure how I'd feel about these frozen mini versions from Foster Farms.

They're made with chicken franks, and feature a "honey crunch" breading.

I'd love to hear which products are your favs! I keep seeing people posting pics of their Trader Joe's dark chocolate Dubai bars, and I just 😿😿😿. I bought milk chocolate Dubai bars from Costco, but they're extremely sweet.

Oh no! That's terrible news. We are getting our first ever Trader Joe's in the next several months, and I've been giddy with excitement. I hope they aren't a giant disappointment. :(

This is my favorite BBQ sauce. It's more flavorful than sweet, and contains no corn syrup, artificial flavors, or artificial colors. Yes, I bought it at Aldi! Read all about it in my slightly eccentric review:

Arm workout sold separately. Although it was economically priced at $1.69, I didn't find this imported Italian Mushroom Risotto mix from Aldi worth the trouble. Read more in my slightly eccentric review:
