I spend quite a bit of money on food a month but I too, buy pretty much everything at Costco.*I wish they sold baby food* Last year we broke it down Costco vs HEB shops. We found that I may spend more at one time at Costco, but it ends up being cheaper then shopping weekly (for us).
I'm envious of those of you who can plan weekly meals. It's such a great idea and because I also *d-e-s-p-i-s-e* cooking, it's hard for me to plan ahead, crap I can't even think of what to make for dinner tonight.
I'm actually on my way out to Costco with a little list, we'll see how well I stick to it.

I really do need to cut back on the crap I buy though because I always buy too many snacks. I KNOW I need to plan menus ahead of time but my problem is I can't seem to think of 2 weeks of meals to make. I hate cooking. lol I think I'm going to go digging through the forum for all those recipes that have popped up here.
