187: A Busy Parents Guide Shopping at Costco with Patty Catalano

Filed Under:

Kitchen Skills, Parenting

Share This:

Whether you love them or hate them, Costco or Sam’s Club-style stores can be hugely helpful to busy home cooks. You don’t have to think about whether you have basics like rice, chicken, coffee, or snacks if you can shop in bulk. This week, Meghan is joined by her IRL best friend, Patty Catalano to talk about all things Costco. Patty talks us through how to shop in warehouse-style stores without wasting money or time.
