    I LURVE me some Costco! Seriously, we buy so much there.

    I love their photo holiday cards and birth announcements ($17.25 for 25 and they are cute and great quality). Ours also has a GREAT organic food section -- flax seed meal, berries (what we don't immediately eat we freeze for smoothies), eggs, milk, bread... They also have a ton of organic baby/kid food. But we haven't tried any of that since DS is only 2 months. They have great quality cheese too -- goat, Dutch Gouda, parmesean, manchego, etc.

    Other household items we get there:
    Toilet paper
    Paper towels
    Napkins
    Ziplocks
    Free & clear laundry detergent
    Dishwasher detergent
    Batteries
    Bleach
    Pete's coffee
    Beer
    Bully sticks for the dogs

    We also bought a food saver thing there and now vacuum seal and freeze meat we buy there. They have good quality meat (including organic chicken and grassfed beef) so we buy it, eat some right away and freeze the rest (we have a separate freezer in the garage).

    And I like their frozen yogurt at the food court

    @.twist.: do you get the White Linen brand? It's amazing!

    @lawbee11: Okay, the frozen yogurt alone is worth the membership - although you can buy anything at thefood cour without a membership! We also buy so many things at Costco! All the home goods listed and lots of non-perishable foods too. I just started getting contact solution there. We especially love when diapers/wipes are on sale (Huggies), the Lindsey natural black olives, White linen pasta sauce, GoGo Squeeze, Fig bars, and Kirkland Tortilla chips. We go once a month and stock up. We've dedicated part of the guest room closet to dry goods!

    @JoyfulKiwi: haha, I'm not sure? I've never heard of that brand before and I don't even know what kind of products it's for! Maybe a Canadian vs. American thing?

    ETA: Pasta sauce. Ok, I am not sure it's available here! I think we get Newman's.

    @JoyfulKiwi: AHHH I White Linen marinara sauce. It is so so effing good. 100000% better than Prego or Ragu or whatnot. It's really restaurant quality, IMO.

    @JoyfulKiwi: I know but it'd be so much more fun to eat the yogurt while browsing through the store! I've heard great things about White Linen sauce and spaghetti is a staple in our house because my cooking "skills" are limited. And we could totally dedicate a guest room closet to store some things...my DH eats a granola bar almost every day as a snack and it'd be much cheaper for us to buy a huge box of them.

    @mrs. wagon: good to know, I feel like they aree pricey on Amazon but I might just be looking at the wrong option.
