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.
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.
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
That $1.50 hotdog and drink combo. Always make sure to have lunch there during our Costco run days.
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.
They have really great steaks. I’m also a huge fan of that green chili salsa. 🤤
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 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.
Oatmeal raisin cookies are really good!
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?
I’m addicted to peanut butter pretzels, and the Kirkland brand are the best.
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.
If I can’t use it up fast enough I’ll freeze it. I haven’t noticed any difference in taste but aesthetically it doesn’t have the same bright green pop.
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.
