Make Holidays Happen with Costco {$20 off a MEMBERSHIP}

I am that crazy girl that can’t get enough of holidays. I, by nature, love to entertain. Like I may be a little obsessed with it! So when the holidays roll around I am truly in my happy place. I am ready to bust out the decorations {maybe a little too early} and invite the girls over for what I feel is a much deserved celebration. But what doesn’t agree with my insane desire to entertain is my bank account or my husband. Thankfully we’ve found a compromise. Say hello to my compromise – Costco! 

Costco is sponsoring this event but we genuinely love Costco and are thrilled to partner with them!

Let me start by saying that I get overly excited shopping at Costco. Even the thought of heading to Costco makes my mouth water and heart happy. They have everything. From diapers to pot pies. You name it, they have it!

Now let’s talk holidays with Costco. They have YOU covered! 

Whether it’s a dinner party or overnight guests, Costco has exactly what you need and it’s all budget friendly. Need new sheets? They’ll ask flannel or cotton. Need gourmet cheese? They’ll ask Manchego or Goat Cheese. Need wine? They’ll ask Chardonnay or Cabernet. The best part is that their house brand, Kirkland, costs a fraction of the price and tastes just as good!  One of our favorite appetizers when entertaining is meat, cheese and wine (wine’s an appetizer, right?!). They have a HUGE selection of cheeses and wine. Can you ever have enough cheese?

Costco has the best selection of toys, books, pajamas, underwear + socks (who doesn’t love new socks and undies for the holidays?!). Their book prices are absolute best. Titles that are hot off the press, and the cookbook selection will keep your favorite cook happy for years. Make sure to check out their books for your upcoming book club selection. New pajamas for Christmas is a must in our house. We make our annual Jammie Trip every year and let them pick out comfy + cozy pjs for the Christmas morning. 

This is something that makes my heart happy. I love giving to others. Especially around the holiday season. Costco makes helping others so easy. Their pre-made dinners are SO good! Hello Chicken Pot Pie that will feed a tiny army! And lets not forget the lasagna. I love that everything is made right there! Moving onto the bakery. Personally my favorite section! The baked breads, muffins and cookies! These are perfect for any party or a little sweet treat for your co-workers. The possibilities are endless. 

• Rotisserie 3lb Chicken – this is by far the best deal around!
• Kirkland Animal Crackers & Applesauce Pouches
• Kirkland Organic Eggs (18 eggs for the price of 12)
• Kirkland Organic Beef (we stock up on this)
• Organic Produce – the strawberries and raspberries are our weekly staples. 
• Wine (no explanation needed)
• Kirkland Diapers & Wipes – the best diapers EVER!
• Kirkland Makeup Remover Clothes
• Tampons (Why are those things SO expensive?!)
• Coats and Activewear
• Kirkland Chocolate Covered Almonds
• Kirkland Coffee
