costco-moms-hour-heroNewsflash:  Winter is coming.

Moms in Indiana know that means one thing – all outdoor activities will need to resume inside until at least April.  I have three unruly children who go stir crazy after five minutes of not being entertained.  Therefore bring on the playdates please!  While I have nothing against indoor play places, there is only so much this germaphobe can handle – especially during flu season.  Therefore having friends over to play is my personal preference.  Even if that does mean I have to clean my house, I will do it for the sake of my children and my individual sanity.

I knew it was time to stock up for the season.  But when I stock up, I go big or go home.  While I hadn’t been back to Costco in awhile, it was time to venture back to the place that I knew would have it all.  And people, let me tell you – Costco HAD IT ALL.  Their Kirkland Signature line exceeded all of my expectations.  Everywhere I turned I was met with a new Kirkland Signature brand item and it literally blew my mind!  My entire haul contained all Kirkland brands – and I snagged it all at right around $100.  My next playdate was going to be epic.  Everyone will want to come play at our house that’s for sure.

Here’s where I started:  My kids are snackers.  They love anything little and finger size that allows them to munch but keep on going with their play.  I have to be honest, I’m not a 100% organic mom but I do like to purchase a good variety of organic items for my family.  The amount of organic items that Costco had stocked blew my mind.  Normally the prices are quite expensive too but that wasn’t the case at all!  I snagged a box of organic applesauce pouches, organic juice boxes and mini organic hummus dippers.  Tiny and cute but ideal for my little playdate friends.

I threw in some bulk items too, like Kirkland  Signature peanut butter filled pretzels, tortilla chips to dip into the hummus, a big block of cheese that I cut up into finger sized cubes and, of course, chocolate chip cookies.  These things last a while but are easy enough to throw into bowls or present on plates for a quick snack break.  And then I grabbed a box of baby wipes because you know, all-the-wipes – for under $20 a box too!

But in all honesty, it wouldn’t be a playdate without the moms, right?  I’m talking cocktails and yoga pants all day, every day – all Kirkland Signature, all super affordable.  Did I mention that apparently Kirkland yoga pants are made by the same company as Lululemon?  For real guys, I just said Kirkland=Lululemon.  Now go stock up.
