  1. I live near Costco. Ikea is about a 2 hour drive from me. I always buy the loo paper from Costco, prefer it over others. :). Hope you enjoy the canned chicken.

  2. We live near Costco but IKEA is about 50 minutes away so closer than yours but far enough we do not go often. You are definitely not the only one who purchases something just for the container it comes in, lol.

  3. Orville is adorable! I’m so glad you rescued him. Those IKEA purchases look pretty amazing. I’m looking forward to seeing how you set everything up. We haven’t been to IKEA in years, and I still laugh about the first time we went. We had no idea what was going on or how to shop. We had to get help – lol! I like to look on our Facebook Marketplace to see if anyone is selling IKEA furniture, and that’s how I got my DANDERYD drop leaf table for $40 – it is now my cutting table! We are not COSTCO members but we do have a Sam’s – a poor cousin of COSTCO – near us. I buy canned chicken breast in packs of four and make chicken salad or casseroles with it.

    1. IKEA for me is an hour and our Costco’s are 15 to 30 minutes in 4 directions. Sam’s club is also 30 minutes or less. But they seem always crowded. Big box stores are in the multitudes in Southern California.

  4. My daughter and I enjoy strolling through Ikea. I took my husband there once, and he hated it. LOL. We used to have a Sam’s membership, but I’ve never been to Costco. With just the two of us, I don’t need bulk items much anymore. And yes, I buy things for the jars – I just bought a (metal) can of coffee, just for the can because it has a fun cat on it (the coffee is pretty awful).

  5. I love Ikea and perhaps it’s a good thing that the closest one is well over two hours away and in the middle of the city (we don’t do city driving anymore). We let our Costco membership go because it’s over an hour away and we only managed to get there maybe once a year now that DH has sciatic issues and can’t sit in the car for long periods of time. I really miss their BBQ chickens and their big bottles of vitamins.

  6. Costco and other big bulk stores just don’t work for single me. I don’t have a place to store such large amounts. I would consider a membership if they sold smaller amounts.

  7. Went to Costco this morning and came home a lot poorer! Fortunately Costco that I shop at is 15 minutes away and is not too busy at all. I haven’t been in Ikea for quite some time and it takes just 25 minutes to get there. Now I might have to make a run out there to check out new products! We are still buried under loads of snow and wish we could have it drop on your fires,

  8. I had to laugh about buying something because you like the jar. Finally! Someone as silly as I am. 😍😉
