Costco run 🛒
13 ppl · 7 days · heavy eaters + coffee. Pad 15–20% on dry/canned/snacks; DON'T pad greens, produce, bread. Max out ice — cooler space is zero-sum with ice.
16 lb steak ALREADY BOUGHT — do not re-buy ribeye / tri-tip
…
Snack Box — all new, biggest gap
If You Must Buy the Meat (backup — 3 dinners run on member meat)
Fresh dairy — read this
- BUY QUARTS, NEVER JUGS. Opened H&H lasts 3-4 days; a 2-gal jug opened Day 1 is sour by Day 5. Eleven quarts opened one at a time stay fresh the whole trip.
- Get ULTRA-PASTEURIZED if you can (Costco's usually is) — much longer unopened life.
- Split across two coolers: Days 1-4 → cooler 2 (6 qt H&H, 4 qt milk). Days 5-7 → cooler 4, SEALED (5 qt H&H, 3 qt milk).
- FREEZE 2 MILK QUARTS SOLID — they act as block ice in cooler 4, then thaw into Day 6-7 milk. Don't freeze H&H (goes grainy).
- Cost: ~39 lb and 0.6 cu ft of cooler. Bump ice 200 → 225 lb to compensate.
Coolers & drinks
- 4 coolers, NO drinks cooler: 1 meat/frozen (open only on meal days) · 2 dairy (daily) · 3 produce Days 1-4 (daily) · 4 Days 5-7 — DO NOT OPEN UNTIL DAY 5.
- Fruit goes in CRATES not coolers.
- Drinks = drag bag + rig. Mesh bag, cans only, no glass. Salmon R is undammed — 60s-70s in Aug, drinks will be COOL not cold. Check clips after every big rapid.
If Costco is out of it
- Muffaletta → HIGHEST RISK: tapenade + pepperoncini + Italian dressing.
- Sardines/kippers → canned salmon · babaganoush → double the hummus · bruschetta jars → fresh tomato, garlic, olive oil, basil.
- Couscous → quinoa or orzo · Bitchin' Sauce → hummus or ranch · Hatch chile → canned diced green · hoagie rolls → any roll or +1 loaf · fresh dill → dried · mandarins → more apples + grapes.
- 2-packs: buy them, leave the spare in the car (capers, pepperoncini, Italian dressing, mustard, tapenade, hot sauce, jam).
