How to enjoy PNW mushrooms this fall

Today we're bringing you an episode from our friends at KUOW's data podcast Control F.

We’re heading into a long holiday weekend.

If you’re taking a road trip, you’ll need to fill up the gas tank, maybe even get some new tires. 

For a longer journey, a rental car can be helpful. 

Don’t forget to pick up toiletries and refill your prescriptions.

If you’re in town hosting grab some extra lawn chairs for the guests.

You can get all of this at Costco – along with your groceries. 

Conventional wisdom is that Costco is a good deal. 

But grocery prices are up.

Grocery inflation is up 27 percent in the last 5 years following pandemic supply chain disruptions and international turmoil.

So, will shopping at our local bulk retailer Costco save you some money this holiday?
