I like the texture of the kirklands paper towels. They are good value, especially when they are on sale. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/costco-must-haves#post-2611999 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 15:05:49 +0000 gingerbebe 2611999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsADS: the vanilla mousse filling is the best! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/costco-must-haves#post-2611981 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 14:02:25 +0000 bloved 2611981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/costco-must-haves#post-2611958 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 12:42:32 +0000 starlitsky 2611958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@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! </p> <p>@JoyfulKiwi: will also look for Noosa! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/costco-must-haves#post-2611956 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 12:40:25 +0000 Anya 2611956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsADS: their cakes are awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/costco-must-haves#post-2611954 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 12:38:58 +0000 MrsADS 2611954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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.</p> <p>Anyone had the bakery make a birthday cake there? We are probably going to get the cake for my son's party there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/costco-must-haves#post-2611945 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 12:02:46 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 2611945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pancakes: ours has a 12 pack of the smaller cups.

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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/costco-must-haves#post-2611931 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 11:41:56 +0000 Iced Tea 2611931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They usually have organic fruit at a great price. We also like to buy their chicken salad and croissants for easy lunches. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/costco-must-haves#post-2611925 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 11:30:24 +0000 Pancakes 2611925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoyfulKiwi: Whoa, I have never seen Noosa yogurt at my Costco!

Some things we get exclusively at Costco are:<br /> 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.<br /> 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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/costco-must-haves#post-2611901 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 10:41:30 +0000 autumnlove 2611901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kirkland wipes, baby body wash, fruit, salads, veggies, rotisserie chicken, toilet paper, paper towels, detergent, meat, bread, Halloween costumes, books.

Everything else is great, seriously. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/costco-must-haves#post-2611895 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 10:28:57 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2611895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eggs<br /> Frozen spinach ravioli </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/costco-must-haves#post-2611890 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 10:22:14 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2611890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Chobani </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/costco-must-haves#post-2611888 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 10:21:33 +0000 NCSUchick27 2611888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Spinach and mozzarella frozen ravioli </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/costco-must-haves#post-2611887 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 10:20:56 +0000 Foodnerd81 2611887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also like the kale salad mix.<br /> 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).<br /> Kirkland baby wipes are my favorite. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/costco-must-haves#post-2611886 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 10:18:34 +0000 Anya 2611886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the sweet kale salad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/costco-must-haves#post-2611868 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 09:47:52 +0000 bloved 2611868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok I know there have been other posts about this, but my (very quick) search did not turn one up.</p> <p>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. </p>
