I don’t like Costco either! My husband thinks I’m weird because I won’t eat the samples.
Did you buy that bag of Bob’s Red Mill at Costco?! If so, it’s a reason for me to go!
Beautiful pictures.
Keep it up!
Hi! Yes I did get the gigantic bag of oats at Costco. Also 2 gigantic boxes of organic raspberries.
Thanks for the encouragement!! xoxo
I share your Costco issue (not quite a phobia, not sure what else to call it). And I definitely avoid the samples completely. I try to console myself with the fact that the company treats its employees very well, but everything you’ve listed, plus the receipt-check as you leave, means that I have once again let our membership lapse because I simply can’t do it any longer. If I ever really need a flat of large V8 cans and 3 pounds of cubed squash again, I can ask my mom to pick them up for me.
People tell me their baked goods are good, but I’ve never been able to make myself buy them, because they are so astonishingly large. I love pie or cake or cupcakes much more than the next person, but having to purchase 24 softball-sized cupcakes or a dozen grapefruit-sized muffins just to discover if they really are good? No, thanks.
And especially not when it is so easy to make muffins like yours at home!
I’m with you on the Costco freak out. My husband thinks I’m a complete snob, but really I just can’t take seeing the unbelievable quantity of anonymous, inhumanely raised meat and other giant, wasteful crap people who can afford better choices are loading up.
Now, if our Costco sold giant sized bottles of liquor, I might reconsider. Alas we live in the archaic state of Pennsylvania where no liquor is to be had outside of state run shops.
Love the blog and the muffin recipe.
Thank you! Several people wrote to remind me that Costco has good labor practices, and they do practice more stringent meat safety testing than most places…so I know it is not all bad. Plus–giant bottles of liquor. But still the sight of huge Americans buying 5,000 frozen chicken wings and loading them into their giant vehicles is traumatic for me.
State run shops–so harsh. I have a vivid memory of a road trip with my husband years ago–after many dusty hours on the road we finally pulled up to a supermarket in Utah and tried to buy a six pack of 3/2 beer. We couldn’t–it was Sunday! Harsh.
Yes, many runs to Ohio & West Virginia back in the days when beer was a critical issue….
Nothing is all bad or all good – Costco can test their meat for safety all they want, but I’d be shocked (and thrilled) if you’d find anything other than factory raised meat from the few huge packers made artificially cheaper through government subsidies.
I suppose I can run, but I can’t hide… there will always be more Costco people than farmer’s market people
That was a hilarious description of a trip to Costco. I can so relate to a lot of what your saying. Especially staggering out of the store like a week later with all sorts of odd things you bought yet never intended to get! Thanks for the laugh!
