Costco Favorites!

by | May 12, 2020 | Recipes

I’ve been wanting to do a roundup of our favorite items from Costco for a while now! I love that you can find such a good deal on larger quantities of things that will last a while. I don’t typically buy produce there because it’s just too much for us (we end up wasting some of it). But for items that have a longer shelf-life or for items you can freeze, shopping there is totally worth it! It’s also the perfect place to shop if you’re hosting, or need to bring a food dish of any sort to a gathering or event.

A couple of pro tips if you’ve never shopped there before:

  1. You need a membership to shop in a store. Memberships start at just $60 annually. You can view the different membership options here!
  2. You can get your items delivered same-day through Instacart (and you DON’T need a membership)! Just go to the Costco website and hover over the the “grocery” tab. You can also click here.
  3. They don’t accept credit cards! You need either cash or a Visa.
  4. You have to save your receipt and show it before you walk out the door. I’ve accidentally thrown out my receipt so many times before leaving the store and they’re super annoying about it.
  5. They don’t have bags. They usually have big boxes at the checkout for you to use to carry your items out in, so be ready to grab a few!
  6. Stock up on wine! They give you a 10% discount when you buy 6 bottles.
  7. They have great houseware items! If you’re in need of new wine glasses, tupperware, etc… they have great deals on those items and they’re really great quality. I basically equipped our entire lakehouse with items from Costco and nothing has failed me yet!

Below are some of our favorites! They do have some seasonal items that come and go, but most of these are items I’ve bought there for a while now. Scroll to the bottom for a few additional recommendations that came from you guys!

Some additional favorites from you guys:

  • The Kirkland brand almond butter. Super gooey and not too sweet!
  • Pork Tenderloins are fabulous on the grill and so easy. One package is good for three meals for four adults. Separate and freeze in three different packages.
  • Keto bread! I actually bought this for Peter but we haven’t tried it yet. It has zero net carbs.
  • Pre-made turkey rolls ups
  • Tortilla-crusted tilapia. “I make Costco trips literally just for that!”
  • Kirkland brand diapers and wipes. “We love them and swear by them! Great quality and just as good as name brand.”
  • Brazi bites
