Big box stores might not be your first thought when it comes to purchasing healthy food. But these days retailers are keeping up with the demand for better options. I recently went shopping at my local Costco to see what I could find. My strategy when shopping big box stores is that I want to find things that don’t contain inflammatory oils. I want to find things that we know will be beneficial for our bodies. I want to find organics and products that are gluten and dairy free. Here is a list of what I grabbed from my recent haul to Costco in Northern Virginia.
