Ok I know there have been other posts about this, but my (very quick) search did not turn one up.
They are opening a Costco near me and I am going on Monday to check it out. What are some of the "must have" items on your Costco shopping list.
-
I like the sweet kale salad.
-
I also like the kale salad mix.
Frozen fruit and vegetables, frozen tortellini (I buy the big five pound bag- perfect to just cook a handful for a quick toddler dinner or more for the family).
Kirkland baby wipes are my favorite. -
Spinach and mozzarella frozen ravioli
-
Chobani
-
Eggs
Frozen spinach ravioli -
The only thing I didn't like and ever returned was the Kirkland branded diapers. Everything else is great, seriously.
-
Kirkland wipes, baby body wash, fruit, salads, veggies, rotisserie chicken, toilet paper, paper towels, detergent, meat, bread, Halloween costumes, books. Basically everything!
-
Tons of stuff! Some things we get exclusively at Costco are:
Hard boiled eggs, z-bars, chicken nuggets, nuts, spaghetti sauce, peanut butter, oatmeal, bread, tortillas, babybel cheese, noosa yogurt, olive oil, Huggies diapers/wipes (they go on sale often), frozen tortellini, dishwasher/laundry detergent, paper towels/toilet paper, pasta, crackers.
We don't get fruits/veggies there because we prefer to buy a variety in smaller quantities at the grocery store, but our neighbor gets broccoli, berries, spinach, etc and they just eat the same veggies all week. -
Baby Bel cheese is on sale.
-
@JoyfulKiwi: Whoa, I have never seen Noosa yogurt at my Costco! What flavor(s) do they have?
-
They usually have organic fruit at a great price. We also like to buy their chicken salad and croissants for easy lunches.

I do a lot of shopping at CostCo and I looooooove it!! We get most of our produce there (especially berries because they are super cheap there and we will eat a 2 lb box of strawberries in a couple days, also love their veggie tray for snacks), individual hummus/ guac cups, all of our meat (separated into freezer packs), frozen fruit, frozen tortellini, mini Naked juices, squeeze applesauce, milk, eggs, cleaning and paper products, occasionally pull-ups and wipes if they are on sale. I also like their kids winter coats and some other kids/ adult clothes. Books are cheap there too! We have the upgraded membership so we get a 2% rebate on most of what you can buy and it pays for itself.

The vacuum packs of rotisserie chicken meat they've pulled off the bones for you - delicious and good in everything.
Individual portioned hummus.
Organic eggs.
Wine is super cheap.
You can get Carters clothes sets for cheap.
Ground beef.
Fresh wild salmon in season.
Kerrygold butter.
Aidell's chicken sausages or meatballs.
Tyson Panko chicken nuggets.
Toilet paper and paper towels.
Spinach and cheese frozen ravioli.
Better than Bouillon.
Kirkland applesauce pouches.
Kirkland nori seaweed.
Organic canned beans and tomato products.
Kirkland multigrain sliced bread.
5lb bags of organic baby carrots.
Kirkland 3 packs of deli meat (has chicken, ham, and roast beef).
Frozen fruit.
Fresh flowers.
Kirkland brand generic OTC drugs.
Fresh fruit in season.
The bakery chocolate chip cookies and muffins are delicious.
Soon there will be bakery pumpkin pie, so good.
Kirkland spiral sliced bone in hams are phenomenal for the holidays.
Their house made take and bake Mac n cheese is glorious.
Coffee.

@Pancakes: ours has a 12 pack of the smaller cups. I think lemon, strawberry and blueberry.

Following. My mom has a membership so I go when she is coming into town. Generally I found that I can get things cheaper at Aldi or stacking coupons other places, although I've seen some things mentioned in this thread I want to try.
Anyone had the bakery make a birthday cake there? We are probably going to get the cake for my son's party there.
-
@MrsADS: their cakes are awesome!
-
@gingerbebe: ooh I didn't know they had vacuum packs of rotisserie chicken off the bones! Will look for it next time. My friend posted a pic of their pumpkin pie the other day so I guess it's back already!
@JoyfulKiwi: will also look for Noosa!
-
Oh thanks everyone for the recommendations! I am getting excited to try it out. @MrsADS: I had wondered about whether things would be cheaper elsewhere, especially once you stack coupons. But I also know people are crazy about the kirkland brand so I definitely want to see for myself. We also just got an Aldi that I have been meaning to check out because I have heard good things about there as well.
-
@MrsADS: the vanilla mousse filling is the best!
-
@gingerbebe: You reminded me about the paper towels. I like the texture of the kirklands paper towels. They are good value, especially when they are on sale.
-
I like their toilet paper! And diapers.
-
Kirkland granola, frozen fruit, protein bars, organic chicken breasts
