    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!

    Thank you everyone for your wonderful replies! I might catch myself spending too much money there this week. I'll update this thread with what I end up grabbing!
