Costco went and made my life even easier.
Except, I have to move and there is no Costco where I am going.
Why, oh, why?
Now, my frozen chicken is not only still clean and free of disgusting fat hunks, it's in a nice, neat and leak free individual package. What a beautiful thing it was to open up the big 'ol bag of frozen chicken to find 6.5 pounds of individually packaged chicken pieces. But then I remembered I am moving in 10.5 days, and I cannot fully enjoy the ease of chicken thawing that Costco now allows me.
It's a sad day.
On another sad note... There are no food co-op buying clubs for me to take part in in New Mexico. And I can't start one on my own because United isn't even taking any new clubs right now.
Pooh on them, I say.
No name customer service girl didn't even know she was breaking my heart when she gave me the bad news. No name sat in her little cubicle and probably ate lunch procured from the Whole Foods Market buffet area, while I received the news that not only are there no real health food stores near where I am moving, there isn't even a co-op I can be involved in. No once a month pick-up of boxes and boxes of healthy foods for me anymore.
What's a healthy-eating girl to do? I kinda feel like the rug was just ripped out from under me.
I'm going to go bury my sorrows in a sweet baby girl's chubby neck now....

Sounds like the perfect time to be introduced to one Ms. Paula Deen. Okay, JK. I know you take your healthy eating seriously and I know that because of that and your determination, nothing will get in your way. I see great things happening in this new city of yours all because of a girl named Andrea who refused to settle for anything less than the best for her family. Watch out world!
I think this is your very own business opportunity. :) I bet others would want the same and just give up too easy.
Guess you have to make lemonaid out of the lemons that you were handed to you.
Sorry that ther is not a costco near you maybe there will some thing like costco but with a different name.
Oh..don't be sad andrea!!! I have never been to a Costco..and I am doing well! :o)We don't have one around here.
My in laws own a meat market...so i get all my meat through them. Maybe if you find a good local meat market...if you ask..normally they will take the skin and bones from the chicken breasts for you!!! :) And this stuff would be fresh and actually healthier for you!!!! xoxo
We are somewhat in your soon to be area and we meet in a parking lot to get monthly deliveries of really good grass fed beef, free range eggs and raw milk/cream. I think there will be some of what you need, maybe just harder to find?? I'm hoping so.
I just looked that up and it seems you will be almost 2 hours away from both Amarillo and Lubbock. Both of these have Sam's clubs and health food stores. If you are up for planning ahead and a bit of a drive, these may help?
I have 3 small kids 6,4,almost 2, so I understand how "not" practical my above statement is!
Oh girl. Do I ever feel for you. I love Costco. It is one of my top 5 favorite stores to visit (that's not just groceries either - I'm talking stores in general). Organic chicken broth, organic milk....uh..guess I'm not helping, huh? I have that very same chicken thawing in my kitchen at this moment and I am just so very sorry for you. You never know...maybe when you get there you'll get a big surprise with some of the locals and you'll be able to find some good, healthy food. Sorry. :(
*note to self: never move away from Costco*
No Costco here. I have actually never been & no good health stores around here either. It's Super Walmart every week for us. You'd probably lose your mind in Ky! LOL!!
No health food stores around my new place either. Just a reason for me to not eat healthy anymore! LOL
Sorry I've been so sparse.
ANdrea,
I am one of Kim's good friends and I frequent your Blog often. I wanted to tell you about a great find at Costco that you must have before you move to NM. They are Ultra-Soft Micro-Fiber Auto Clothsfound near the car stuff at Costco. I ju7st got some today and I am cleaning with them and they are GREAT! And you can ask Kim how much of a clean freak I am! These cloths are great fr=or dusting, wiping counters, windexing mirrors and windows-no lint left at all. You must pick some up before your move! They come in a pack of 36 for $15.99! Just thought I'd give you a little tidbit before your move!
