I'm a busy mom who spent about $`100 on ingredients for quick, easy meals at Costco.
I use Kirkland Signature fish to make our favorites, like miso-glazed tilapia and teriyaki salmon.

As a working mom of two, Costco is my one-stop shop for getting what I need for 30-minute, three-ingredient meals. On most trips, I pick up a few extras, too.

Here's what I bought on a recent trip for about $100.

Prices may vary by location.

My family ate at Fogo de Chão for the first time for $230. The steak house's unlimited salad bar and excessive meat service weren't our thing.
