    Most defnitely the Laughing Cow Light Cheese Wedges package. Only 35 calories per wedge piece and they are so yummy! A must get for me is the big package of organic spinach, asparagus, fruit, and the seasoned roasted seaweed (only 30 calories per package!) ... I could go on and on =)

    I like buying the big bag of organic brown rice and now quinoa. This is not health food, but the mini chicken cilantro wontons are fantastic. I make them with edamame and oriental vegetables and it's a great and filling meal.

    I have just recently tried the Kirkland whole grain bread (comes 2 in a pack). It's delicious.

    Yum...that all sounds amazing.

    I like Dr. Praeger's spinach pancakes. I usually zap 2 of them & put them ontop of my salad. I also enjoy the quinoa salad.

    I buy a ton of natural foods there- fresh and frozen produce, eggs, quinoa, beans, flax, oats, etc.

    So I'll plug the one packaged 'diet' item I've been buying for years: Healthy Choice Fudge Bars! 100 calories of creamy, frozen goodness.

    I buy their frozen salmon patties...so good. I also get chicken/vidalia onion patties (not frozen). Fresh mozzarella medallions are good also. And they have large bags of quinoa...love it!

    Flatout wraps in BULK! They make fantastic sandwiches or you can use them as a pizza crust! 100 calories and a TON of fiber!! I am also one of those Trident Salmon Patty people...delicious! Kirkland brand boneless skinless individual packed chicken breasts make life soooooooooo easy! Baby carrots, blueberries, raw almonds and frozen veggies....So yummy!!!

    One thing that I miss that I haven't had in a LONGGGGGGGGGGGGG time is Costco's giant sized slice of pizza...sooooooooo much grease!! Sooo delicious!! LOL!!

    They have this pumpkin flax granola that is SO TASTY! It's near the cereal. It's great with yogurt or as a dry snack.

    and the Organic Ancient Grains granola that's right next to this is pretty awesome too. They both have some sugars, but not outrageous compared to a lot of pre-made granolas.

    I also love:

    Nature's Three Berries frozen berries (I use them in smoothies)
    Kirkland Natural Peanut Butter. Just peanuts and a little salt. Most affordable natural peanut butter I've ever found

    Every week:
    1. Organic eggs (2 doz - I only eat the egg whites so I go through these quickly!)
    2. Fage 0% with fruit (12-pack) - these are a STEAL at ~$1 a yogurt (in the grocery store they are $1.75-$2 each)
    3. Strawberries (when in season - the 4 or 5lb packs are a steal)
    4. Portobello Mushrooms (5 pack)
    5. Tri color peppers (6 pack)

    Monthly:
    1. Chicken breasts/tenderloins (then freeze them)
    2. Laughing Cow cheese (this is a steal)
    3. Corn tortillas (freeze these)

    Every Sunday I go to Costco and then come home and wash / cut / prep all the fruits/veggies for the week - it's so great to have a fridge full of healthy (cheap) food!

    I love costco. I kinda buy product more of a spur of the moment. Pretty much I buy Mexican Coca-Cola bottles & Kirkland water. Rest is kinda of the "Do I want eat this for 2 weeks straight" kinda mind set. Speaking of which Bubba Burgers for a couple days lol.

    Also I have to get a Slice of Cheese Pizza and its the most evil thing ever and I can't resist it.

    Kirkland Signature Wild Pacific Sockeye Salmon (4.5 oz ~ 225 calories) in the freezer section. Individually shrink-wrapped, and taste like fresh, even though frozen. My favorite Costco food!
