The Costco Connection
Xyra
finally got a chance to peruse her March edition of The Costco Connection “A
lifestyle magazine for Costco members.” It’s actually kind of cool. Mostly ads
and articles that are boring, but a great book
section.
Anyway,
not only did the March issue have an article on tea, but also a great
announcement for an American Girl item you can find in the kids’ book section.
First the Tea
The
article “The Best Brew” discusses the health advantages to drinking certain
types of tea.
Rooibos
is gentle on the stomach because it is naturally caffeine free and has less
acid to it than regular black tea. We discussed earlier that rooibos isn’t
really tea because it doesn’t come from the tea plant, but from a different
shrub so it falls in the herbal tisane family.
Speaking
of herbal tisanes or infusions…those are what you want to drink if you have to
stay away from caffeine. Apparently, even if it says “decaffeinated” it may not
be caffeine free. Chamomile, ginger, lemongrass, and mint herbal “teas” are
caffeine free. Be sure to check the ingredients though. If black, green, or
white tea is included…there may be some caffeine.
Finally,
to get the most antioxidants choose a green tea.
American Girl at Costco
I’ve
seen the books and mini dolls in the kids’ book section on previous trips to
Costco. This month you can find new pets there! According to the ad “Pet Travel
Carrier Sets” will be available mid-March. It includes an activity book, pet,
pillow, and bowls.
Chocolate
Chip, the chocolate lab, is featured, but others pets are available.
Sadly,
these ads never include prices. Each warehouse may price the set differently.
Find your favorite Costco member and check it out! Only available in the warehouses not at Costco.com
Enjoy!
Have
a great day!
