I must sound like a COSTCO saleswoman but they sell a bag of dried Calimyrna figs at a reasonable price. Mom likes them.

I didn’t know that, and will look for those figs. They’re an ingredient in one of my favorite recipes.

I really love Costco; but I don’t like that they seem to have things for a long time, and suddenly never do again. We’ve looked for cases of canned mushrooms that for many years were always there; now they don’t have them.

Same with my favorite skin cream - I used to buy a two-pack of it at an enormous discount; now it’s never there. A lot of things seem to be temporary ‘special buy’ items.

Except for very basic things like fresh meats and some frozen entrees, the best deals we find are the occasional non-food items on the initial right-side aisles. We save enormously on things like aluminum foil, dishwash and laundry detergent, etc.

(Not so much on paper goods - we do better with sales/coupons at the local stores.)
