Seems like an obligatory post! What’s on your shopping list every time you go?
Personally, I’m a huge fan of:
Kirkland Irish cream
Avocados - nowhere else ever has them as good!
Shepherd’s pie
Ravioli lasagna
Sanders chocolate caramels
… And like a million other things.
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.
They are the best. If you have an Instant pot it only takes about an hour to make the best chicken broth! It is so worth it and a really good use for the bone that would other wise go to waste
I’m addicted to peanut butter pretzels, and the Kirkland brand are the best.
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.
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.
Rao’s is so good. Their white sauce pops up occasionally and it is also fantastic.
Blueberries. In huge quantities.
I’m a berry fan also. Not always perfect but the quality is better than most stores and is a great deal.
Bulk meat, rice, seaweed, yogurt n nuts
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
I can never use it fast enough before it spoils. But even using a quarter of it is a better value than other store-bought pesto.
I’ve stopped making my own. Really convenient when I’m feeling a lazy for dinner
Their sneakers are phenomenal for the price
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.
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.
Oatmeal raisin cookies are really good!
