That said, almost every time I go to Costco now I get:<br /> Blueberries<br /> Frozen berries (for smoothies)<br /> Baby spinach<br /> Cut squash<br /> Cheese (2 lb block of Cabot cheddar!)<br /> Bread -2 pack costs about the same as one at our local store. </p> <p>I also have started buying meat- the fridge to freezer pack of chicken breasts are great. </p> <p>And they have great carters pjs and outfits, probably not significantly cheaper than buying on sale at carters but convenient. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-buy-from-costcosams-club#post-2065272 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 19:44:17 +0000 Mrs. Coral 2065272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Canned green beans, TP, paper towel, batteries, cereal, vinegar, paper plates, olive oil, bread, almond milk, edamame. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-buy-from-costcosams-club#post-2065271 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 19:44:08 +0000 blackbird 2065271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Meat, toilet paper, paper towels, Kleenex, bottled water, diaper and wipes and formula (when we needed it), beer, cascade, tide....Childrens advil and tylenol, trash bags, spices we use commonly like salt and pepper and basil and cumin....they also have some warm wool and acrylic socks at my Sams Club that I like a lot!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-buy-from-costcosams-club#post-2065266 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 19:40:02 +0000 mrsjyw 2065266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Paper products, yogurt, meat, some fruit, milk, eggs, a lot of their organic products, condiments, veggies that we use often: onions, spinach, etc </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-buy-from-costcosams-club#post-2065264 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 19:37:00 +0000 lawbee11 2065264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here's what we get at Costco:</p> <p>Toilet paper<br /> Paper towels<br /> Napkins<br /> Trash bags<br /> Greek yogurt<br /> Cheese sticks<br /> Rotisserie chicken<br /> Shampoo &amp; conditioner<br /> Deodorant<br /> Makeup remover towelettes<br /> Laundry detergent<br /> Dish soap<br /> Dryer sheets<br /> Animal crackers<br /> Protein bars<br /> Ketchup<br /> Peanut butter </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-buy-from-costcosams-club#post-2065262 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 19:36:36 +0000 Pumpkin Pie 2065262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>These are the things we greet regularly.</p> <p>Meat<br /> Eggs<br /> Baby wipes<br /> Toilet paper<br /> Napkins<br /> Asparagus<br /> Some premade meal<br /> Ravioli<br /> Pizza<br /> Bread<br /> Flowers</p> <p>I buy lots of things from Costco.

We also buy a good bit of produce because it is cheaper there and we both eat a lot of fruit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-buy-from-costcosams-club#post-2065207 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 19:06:53 +0000 Bao 2065207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Or other similar stores. We are making a trip Friday to get some things in bulk and I'm currently working on my list. How do you decide what you buy there vs a regular grocery store? I know some stuff I find isn't really a better deal at Sam's Club compared to my regular grocery store. I try to price compare before I go but sometimes I miss something and end up getting it regardless. </p> <p>What are your go to bulk items? </p>
