Image
Kosher dill. Bread-and-butter. Mini gherkins. Give me all the pickles. And as much as I enjoy a spear on the side of my plate, I love the zing of a pickle slice on a sandwich or burger. But have you ever noticed that some of those pickle slices are flat, while some have ridges? Take note the next time you’re at a deli or even at McDonald’s, where most of the pickles are flat … with the exception of one fancy chicken sandwich that’s a nationwide favorite .

As a mom of five—including three eternally hungry teenage and young adult boys—I consider Costco less of a store and more of a lifeline. Supersized bags of chips? Yes, please. A 10-pound bag of shredded cheese? Throw it in the cart. A mega pack of extra-strength deodorant? An absolute necessity. I proudly hold the Executive Membership (aka the fancy one), which costs $130 per year but comes with 2% cash back on eligible purchases. Thanks to my regular grocery hauls (which could probably sustain a small army), my membership pays for itself without breaking a sweat. And while I may run the risk of sounding like a Costco ad, I’m not alone—Costco superfans everywhere swear their membership is worth every penny.
