a little help from costco

Today we took our weekly trip/lunch to Costco. I got a couple of items that are really going to help during this whole pregnancy thing. More often than not I end up fixing Chris and I different dinners. I rarely feel like the typical food I make. For instance, last night I ate a burrito with just black beans and brown rice (no cheese, melted cheese grosses me out). If you know Chris at all, you would know he wouldn't touch that meal with a 10 foot pole (hates beans and I guess it is rather dry). Anyway, I decided to get a ready bake pizza so that I will always have something easy on hand for Chris for when I want something odd. I cut it up and wrapped each slice individually. That way I can get one or two and pop them in the oven.




I mentioned before that I craved Grape Nuts. Now my craving has basically evolved into any kind of cereal. I have woken in the middle of the night the past two nights and felt so sick I had to come downstairs and make myself a bowl. I usually also have a bowl first thing in the morning and right before bed. I realized that I had gone through an entire box of Frosted Mini Wheats in 2.5 days. Yikes! So I bought myself a jumbo box at Costco so I'll feel a little better about all the money we are spending on cereal. :)



As a side note, I have a question that I truly am curious about. I've noticed that Costco, with there oodles of samples, NEVER has samples of baked goods like cookies, pies, muffins, etc. On occasion, they might have a sample of basic bread, but nothing dessert'ish. I know this is intentional and I'm so interested in the reason. Chris thought maybe it was b/c they are worried too many people would take them. But considering there are often lines for corn dogs or chicken fingers, I doubt that is the reason. Any theories??
