Costco advice

Alright - here's the low down on Costco - some things are probably only for the Coralville store.

Best sample times:
1:15-4 is the overlap of the two sampling shifts. Samples are available about 11am-7pm
Weekends have more than weekdays.

My favorite products:

Sweet Kale Salad Mix -produce dept. Seven superfoods - it tastes like broccoli salad with poppyseed dressing. Ingredients that I can remember: kale, brussel sprouts, broccoli  cabbage, roasted pumpkin seeds and dried cranberries, poppyseed dressing. Around $5 for a large bag.


Madras lentils: super easy in heat and serve pouches, and very healthy ingredients. About $8 for 4 pouches.

Dried Mangoes - 30 oz for $11.99 


Sweets:
Skinny Cow Ice Cream sandwiches: not perfect food obviously but if you are going to eat ice cream...
2 grams fat, 3 grams of fiber, 4 grams of protein

Brookside dark chocolate covered fruitsnacks -from juices of blueberry acai, goji raspberry, or cranberry. We always sample the large bags, but I do better buying the 100 calorie packs to make it easier to stop at one serving.

In addition to clearance items ending in .97 or .00 there will be an asterisk for seasonal or not going to be restocked items.
