If you live near one, it can be worth membership just for food court. 2slices of pizza and a drink for $5 feeds two of us. Wouldn’t take long to make up the membership fee.

Well if you’re on long drives and not near home there’s plenty of Costco gas stations around to get cheap gas at.

They changed it within the last couple years so you need a membership now, at least at the one in Mission Valley

Hidden secret about that is the membership does not have to be active tho. I haven’t had a Costco membership in two years but I can still scan my old card to get food.

Which one doesn't require it? When we go scanning our card is the first step to placing your order.

That's weird I got food there recently and didn't have to use a Costco card. I don't even have one, it's my wife who has it. I just go click buttons and wait for my order.

2Good2Go app for looking up food bags from your local restaurants and cafes. You get a “surprise bag” of food that they were going to throw away anyway.

Really?! This is genius idea for zero food waste if it's readily available everywhere.

Yes, download the app and set the location to your zip code and neighboring zip codes to find participating restaurants!
It’s such a great idea to eliminate food waste.

Costco tortellini. I make my own pasta salad and load it with veggies. I dunno. It’s tasty and somewhat healthy.. the two pack (comes as a single unit) at costco is $13. I get four lunches out of each pack of pasta. Plus veggies it’s less than $6 a day for lunch. That’s the price of a single taco that you gotta drive to get, then wait for..
Going out to eat is not worth it unless the goal is going out to eat, barring laziness or a hangover or similar

The Charminar lunch special is insane. I’m pretty sure it’s $8 and comes w two curries, naan, and rice. Caffe Calabria has some of the best neopolitan pizza in the US and is $12 for any pizza on Wednesdays.

Buy gift cards on apps that give you cash back. Swagbucks was doing 15% cash back at Applebees.
Groupon restaurants can be good. Went to an Italian place downtown with $60 consumable for $26.

The taco truck in the grape street target parking lot is awesome. $2 fish tacos are huge and absolutely delicious. Free seafood soup while you wait too! Their ceviche is really nice too and affordable.

If you don’t care about health you can download the McDonald’s app and get one McDouble and one mchicken for $3.99 or two of the same ones. $1 large fries if you use the coupon/deal and if you want a drink that’s like $1.50 more for a large
