You guys gave me great suggestions for Trader Joe's so now I'm wondering what are some things you always buy at Costco?
I usually buy Fage yogurt, grape juice, Fiber One granola bars, chicken nuggets, Doritos, Orowheat bread, Dove soap, beef jerky and paper products!

we buy bakery items like croissants, bagels, bread rolls. Then we buy fruits like grapes, apples. We also buy plantains, avocados, chocolate raisins, peanut butter. baby wipes. I find that their detergent and oter items arent really cheaper than walmart or my local supermarket

@duckduckkristen: I want one of those bears for my LO!
clementine / 959 posts
@autumnlove: they are only $30! I don't know why everybody doesn't have one! We always wanted it even before we had a baby, then bought it when we took LO there at a week old. We walked around with it perched on the front of our cart and all the kids were pointing and saying "mommy, I want one!" Then as we were leaving a teenager told us we were the best parents ever. Haha.
hostess / wonderful watermelon / 39513 posts
@duckduckkristen: Aww, so cute! I am definitely buying one when we buy a house!

@duckduckkristen: wow that is HUGE! I've never seen them at my costco. Is it hard to keep clean?

Oo I forgot Organic Quinoa too - their price kills our other grocery stores!!
hostess / wonderful watermelon / 39513 posts
@keiki_mama: oooh, how are the kirkland makeup remover towelettes compared to the neutrogena towelettes?
nectarine / 2504 posts
@autumnlove: In my opinion, so much better! The kirkland ones are pretty saturated and do a really good job at getting my mascara off--they've never irritated my eyes. I ran out of the kirkland towelettes last week and bought the say yes to blueberries towelettes (or whatever that brand is) and it was awful! I believe the kirkland ones are under $12 and you get A TON! I usually split it with my mom and a girlfriend. It's too much for one person unless you use more than one towelette a day.

Pretty much everything! If you are a couponer, you can get some of this stuff cheaper at the grocery store, but I find that it's just way more convenient for me to buy some of this stuff 1-2/year and not worry about it.
