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.

Before I read any further, I just want to tell you that it isn't cheaper at Costco. You may get a better cut of meat, but I can find meat for half the price of Costco at Winco, or if I check the meat that is on sale at our other local grocery stores. I shop the ads for the meats I'm going to buy for the week. Seriously...I love Costco meats, but they are WAY expensive!!
