Stuff That Matters In Life

I finally made it to WinCo, and it was fun! The place is huge and there were many good buys.

Best buys:

Oatmeal - 51 cents a pound compared to 69 cents a pound at Costco

Cooked roast beef - $3.99 a pound

Cauliflower - 48 cents each (not per pound)

Brown onions - 10 cents a pound

Warnings -

* they do not take credit cards, only debit cards, cash, or check. I thought I would have to put everything back but lo and behold, it was a miracle that I had a $50-bill in my wallet. It was my husband’s early birthday present from his mom, and he put it in my wallet.

* you end up buying what you don’t need. I bought a bag of Bugles (I love to put those on each finger), and 1/2 a pound of macadamia nuts.

* do not go there hungry. You’ll be tempted to sample the items in the bins and there is a big sign that says “DO NOT SAMPLE.”

* I bought a pound of raisins, but it’s cheaper and better at Costco.
