After work I went with Drew and a bunch of our coworkers to prep for our Thanksgiving feast tomorrow so we went to Costco, an Westernized supermarket basically like a Sam's Club x 100. It was enormous! There were two levels and to go to each floor, you had to stand in line on a moving escalator. The carts were huge since children can sit in them although they aren't supposed to and it was really crowded tonight. I guess a lot of people go shopping on a Saturday night since they have free time. There were workers to help people guide through the different levels and the entrance/exit. It was definitely hard to weave a huge cart among the aisles.
We were trying to get items to make some side dishes for tomorrow. I'm making my scallion pancake and cranberry sauce. Drew is making chip dip. Everyone who is coming is bringing a side dish. Drew and I got the turkey which cost a whopping $3400NT which is about $112 USD. Yes, we bought a $112 turkey. We ordered at a restaurant that will already have cooked it tomorrow and hopefully it will come with sides but we don't know how much. I didn't want to spend extra money on cranberry sauce since I don't know how much we need so I decided to make my own for everyone. The turkey is about 18 lbs I think. We ordered the biggest one so I guess I will see tomorrow how big it is. I ordered on the phone so I hope everything worked out and nothing get messed up. I'm excited to see it though lol We are expecting at least 10 people so hopefully we will have enough food for everyone!
Costco actually didn't have a lot of variety but they sold everything in huge bulk. It was pretty insane with the sizes but the food was meant for families. Then Drew and our other coworker went to Carrefour which is another Americanized grocery store. We didn't get home until close to 11pm and then I cooked my cranberry sauce. It's going to be a long day tomorrow cleaning and getting everything prepared but it will be totally worth it!
