I found out that soy protein is so hard to avoid. Heres what I wanted that contains soy protein
-virtually all the cereals available
(kashi go-lean etc )
-the beef jerky
-they had 5 different type of protein bars, they all contain soy isolate
-gingko biloba caps ( really contain soy protein, not soy lecithin )
-some breads and pastas contains soy protein
-and the list goes on
good deals
-a good multi 365caps for 10$
-fish oil caps 300caps for 12$
-green tea pills 180caps for 10$
-also good deals on egg whites
bad deals
-no bulk oatmeal bags
-no big cottage cheese tub
-no fat free cheese in bulk
-deals on big bags of mixed nuts are the same as everywhere ( I decided to go straight to the factory store for nuts , 2$ for a big bag of natty almonds , the same bag at costco is 18$ )

Dude…
What Cosco were you at?
The cottage cheese tubs are right next to the sour cream tubs. They look EXACTLY the same so becareful, but they are there. I swear. I think they know me as cottage cheese man there. I come home with 8 of those mofos.
Forget that Kashi crap. Get Uncle Sam cereal at your local grocery chain. I’m surprised they didn’t have a tub of cottage cheese at your Costco. Mine has a whole section of cottage cheese tubs and $18 for a bag of almonds is ridiculous. I can get a bag of Kirkland almonds at Costco for around $6 here.
CostCo has some jugs of whey protein, 5 lb for 20 bucks or something. It seems like a good deal, unless you plan on ever coming into contact with another human being. Then, you will realize that the deadly cheap-protein farts are a weapon that would have the Death Star cowering in fear.

I bought the 5 lb whey at Costco. It’s alright the first couple of shakes, after that you just want to puke it out. rather spend the money for a 2lb Grow!.

A good way to choke up someone catching up to you in a footrace.
I get the Kirkland almods for $9 out here. I also buy the cashews from Costco (can’t remember the price on those).
I too get the cottage cheese in the large tubs from Costco as well as fish oil and flaxseed oil.
I don’t recall the jerky having soy though. Its dried beef or turkey so I wouldn’t see where the soy would come from unless it is used as a preservative (soy lecithin).
You can also get some really lean cuts of beef and chicken there for a good deal. Just pop some in the freezer and thaw it out for a few days before hand.
Or, I like their flash frozen chicken breasts. You can just toss those on the grill and then you have plenty of chicken when you need it. Like for an omelet or a frittata.

I just looked at my last Costco receipt and I actually paid about $9 myself for a bag of almonds. The flash frozen breasts are money because they thaw so quickly and last forever in the freezer. But like a lot of t-members have said, there are only so many ways you can prepare chicken breasts before you just get sick of them.

The almonds are about $13 here in NY now. They used to be 8 or 9. The Dry Roasted and salted are cheaper I think too but they’re in a 2.5 bag instead of 3#
