Costco

That $1.50 hotdog and drink combo. Always make sure to have lunch there during our Costco run days.

The $5 rotisserie chicken has a permanent spot on my Costco shopping list.

The Rao's 2 pack. It's the cheapest I've seen that sauce anywhere and a great pantry staple. Also the vanilla extract and vanilla beans are way cheaper than anywhere and surprisingly high quality.

Kirkland bacon, Kirkland cheddar cheese block.

I can't believe I've looked at this burgeoning list and no one has mentioned wine or fine cheeses (I like to buy the imported goat and sheep ones myself).

We also regularly buy organically-raised/grown veggies and fruits, the big boxes of Sunkist oranges when they have them, and the wild-caught fish, of various types. When they have them. And the sardines. :)

Finally, I got my second Shringrix vaccination at a Costco pharmacy.

I'm addicted to peanut butter pretzels, and the Kirkland brand are the best.

Bulk meat, rice, seaweed, yogurt n nuts

Blueberries. In huge quantities.

Rotisserie chicken obviously. Even if I'm returning something and need nothing else, I go pick up a chicken and strip the meat and freeze it in a foodsaver bag (**much ** easier to do when the chicken is still warm).

Kewpie mayo, frozen ramen, frozen pizza, budlight (especially cheap right now, usually 75 cents a beer), prosecco

KL pesto is the best storebought pesto i've had. very summery

Their sneakers are phenomenal for the price

The Kirkland Dog Food is fantastic. My dogs vote for the Salmon and Sweet Potato flavor! I happen to like the Kirkland Fully Cooked Bacon. I also love the Goolsby Sausage - but my local Costco goes out of stock on it all the time.

Pecans, dried mango, prunes. Sometimes the brioche buns. If I'm feeling naughty, the apple/cherry/cream cheese pastries. I love these threads because it gives me ideas for the next trip.

The long shrimp they have, and a lot of the frozen foods honestly. It's quick, I know it'll taste good, and it's pretty well priced.

I'm a sucker for their chocolate chip cookies. Although, now that a package of them is going for 10 bucks it's a bit harder of an impulse buy.

Oatmeal raisin cookies are really good!

They have really great steaks. I'm also a huge fan of that green chili salsa. 🤤

For me it’s the Kirkland Organic Marinara, rotisserie chicken, and paper goods.

Orgain Organic Protein. Always a great price on these and they usually have at least 3 flavors.

Rotisserie chicken and the Olympus brand Greek Yoghurt - but the absolute definite buy every time is still the 1.50 hot dog and drink, I feel like I'd lose money **not **buying that deal.

Am I the only shopper who buys a hot dog and a cheese slice, tosses the dog bun, rolls the dog into the pizza slice and narfs out?

Kirkland Signature Protein Bars. Not the cheapest, but are great healthy breakfast. I swear they have helped me loose weight. Plus they don't have any scary ingredients in them.

Every trip we gotta get: Diapers Organic walnuts Roasted pistachios Beef jerky Mangos

Most of our ingredients for meals are from local sources, so a lot of the time it feels like our Costco trips are just buying $200 worth of snacks. They're good snacks though.

Peaches.

I love peaches....but they have to be GOOD peaches. There's nothing worse than taking a big bite out of a substandard peach that's either dry or not sweet or mealy. Costco produce pickers must be pretty strict about the peaches they take because every peach season, Costco seems to get peaches that are an order of magnitude better than anything I find in my other local grocery stores.

So, when they are in season (usually mid July to end of August) - I'll pick up a flat of peaches ever other week from Costco.

Gotta buy at least one tub of “Plaisir Gastronomiques” brand of bruschetta every time I’m in there. It’s so good I just shovel it in my face with a spoon as soon as I get home.

It's the Nature's Bakery fig bars for me, and the KS nut bars

I'll must buy avocados next trip.

Kirkland Organic Peanut Butter

Favorite buy ever?

Probably the PowerBook 100 I bought there in the early 90's. Still have it and I think it would even boot up.

Regular buys: the fresh croissants, the cranberry walnut bread. My Costco just started carrying King Arthur pizza flour, which is amazing.

Spinach ravioli. There was a time late pandemic where they disappeared and stock has gone in and out since then. I get a little nervous when I get to the freezer isle to look for them.

Boudin sourdough crackers, cheese puffs with a pirate in the logo, Portofino tuna, and Modelo micheladas/michelada mix

Morning Summit! It's expensive, but by far my favorite cereal.
