I'm there at least once a week, sometimes twice. </p> <p>Our regular things: rotisserie chicken, bread, meat (pork chops, beef, chicken), apples, grapes (stopped getting bananas there because they started to suck), bottles of water, ham steaks, turkey sausage, organic eggs, cheese, fish sticks, butter, cereal, pasta, applesauce (cups and pouches), goldfish, yogurt, string cheese, paper plates, paper cups, laundry detergent, huggies, wipes, toilet paper, paper towels... I could just go on and on and on. It would be shorter to list what we DON'T buy a costco. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-things-to-buy-at-costco#post-65359 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 21:45:28 +0000 Clementine 65359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Frozen shrimp and cases of yogurt! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-things-to-buy-at-costco#post-65354 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 21:31:55 +0000 joyjoy 65354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My big things for Costco are butter, milk and heavy cream since I go through a lot (I like to bake) and it's SO much cheaper there. The one near us is also great about stocking organic meats and vegetables and carrying eco-friendly household products like paper towels, toilet paper and detergents, so it's cheaper for us to stock up there than to pay more elsewhere, even if one pack of paper towels lasts our house of two over a year. :-P</p> <p>Oh, we also can never visit Costco without buying a churro. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-things-to-buy-at-costco#post-65347 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 21:17:51 +0000 leelee 65347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Water, milk, eggs, toiletries, bread, veggies, Let's just say its a rarity if our bill is under $150.

We go once every 3 weeks or so for water, Vita Coco, TP, paper towels, organic chicken and contact solution. I got Uggs knock-off house slippers there a couple months ago that I'm in love with! Sometimes we'll get a hot dog on the way out.<br /> Speaking of which, do any of you ladies buy diapers there, or is it cheaper to buy them elsewhere? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-things-to-buy-at-costco#post-65004 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 14:39:11 +0000 MsMini 65004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We go every second week, give or take. We buy most of our meat there (just re-package and freeze it). Any frozen veggies, pre-prepared foods, breads etc. I also buy books there. We usually grab a hot dog each, a pop each, and poutine on our way out for dinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-things-to-buy-at-costco#post-65000 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 14:35:01 +0000 mrskc 65000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We go to Costco once a week.

It's super dangerous :) I definitely stop by sometimes, just to get an enormous slice of pizza and a berry smoothie for lunch. But really we use it like our regular grocery store for items that don't go bad super fast or are freezable. It's just so convenient! But growing up, my fam went like once a month with a flatbed, and it was a much bigger ordeal :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-things-to-buy-at-costco#post-64975 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 14:20:26 +0000 chopsuey 64975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HAHA. GET IT! :D We get laundry detergent, prescription meds, WATER bottles, TP, paper towels, rotisserie chicken, I got a slice of pizza today.. :)<br /> I love costco! They're starting to sell more organic veggies too.. so yay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-things-to-buy-at-costco#post-64966 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 14:09:51 +0000 Andrea 64966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been thinking about Costco since we're going this weekend to stock up on all of our basics. And now I guess I might be getting a cake! </p> <p><a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/costco-red-velvet-cake" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/costco-red-velvet-cake</a></p> <p>What do you like to get from there? Anybody ever go there just to eat some cheap food - giant hot dogs, chicken bakes, pizza, fro yo, churros? Nom nom nom (as I eat my apple). </p>
