Costco finds - May 2026

Bought a three-pack of this at Costco today. Wouldn't be that hard to cook but I'm doing a lot of shortcuts these days. Good stuff!

Do you like Wal-Mart? Do you like Sam's Club? (Or did they go out of business?) Or is it just Costco? Is their gas still a bargain? Gas has gone up here from $3.75 to $4.50 in about a week.

I hadn't shopped Wal-Mart for years but recently I signed up for Walmart+ for a month for $1. It was really handy to have stuff delivered right after Mr wtg came home. It's hard for me to get out to run errands; I can't really leave him alone. I dropped Amazon Prime a few years ago.

And I had signed up for a Sam's Club membership late last year when they had a cheapo annual membership deal. We went a couple of times and definitely won't renew when the year is up; I don't feel that their products are as good a quality as Costco. One thing I do like is they seem to sell the fresh foods in smaller quantities that we can actually finish eating before they go south. Costco abundance is getting to be a waste for us as we eat less.

Costco gas is the cheapest around here. And then we get an additional discount because we are executive members and have a Costco Visa card. I filled up yesterday morning for $4.70. By late afternoon the price was up to $4.90 and this morning it's at $4.96. I'm glad I don't drive much.
