This time we decided to pick up a few more things, some of which I made into a salad for lunch yesterday. They included:
- 8 heads of artisan lettuce: Great for lunches or side dishes for dinners, we will use this all up in the next week or so. $3.98 for 30 ounces
- 1 pound of prosciutto: we love having a bacon product around to add to salads, pastas, sandwiches, risotto and eggs. Prosciutto is a great option for us because it lasts longer in our fridge than regular bacon and requires no extra cooking! $11.95 for 1 pound
- (12) 14 ounce cans of low sodium chicken stock: we use bouillon cubes often but it will be nice when we are making soups and risotto to have another alternative. $7.88 for 12 cans
- (3) DiGiornio supreme pizzas: for those quick meals when we have nothing to cook! $11.98 for 3 pizzas
- Elbow macaroni: the last few times we've bought pasta at Sam's, we have bought penne pasta. This time we decided to mix it up a bit! $4.98 for 6 pounds
Contents of my salad:
Homemade oil and vinegar dressing, a head of artisan lettuce, sliced onion, 2 slices of prosciutto, 10 black olives (also from Sam's Club) and one wedge of blue cheese laughing cow.
Not bad for a weekday lunch, right? Do you shop at Sam's Club or Cosco? What is your favorite thing to buy there?
On the docket for later today: some easy upgrades I've made around here, including one just in time for Valentine's Day, and the recipe for my raspberry-oat muffins!

Looks delicious!!
ReplyDeleteWe have a Sam's account through Matt's work but I don't really enjoy shopping there. It's just...too much. And I hate that it's a Wal-Mart company.
ReplyDeleteThat said, I've been meaning to go there to see what kind of bulk organic foods they might have. I have heard I can get bulk organic spinach, which would be nice, and some organic peppers and quinoa. We'll see!
@ L: Thanks! Happy Friday :)
ReplyDelete@ Every Little Thing: I would much rather shop at Cosco (my parents have a membership and they have a greater selection, more organic options and because of the whole Walmart thing) but alas the Sam's Club membership was a gift from J's parents so for now that's where we shop once a month or so. I am happy that Walmart and by extension Sam's Club are offering a few more organic items. Hopefully they continue to offer more and more!
