Costco: A Paleo Wonderland

Today, I went to Costco, specifically to get some produce and to stock up on virgin coconut oil and chia seeds. By the time I had checked out, I was dancing on air, I was so excited with some of my finds!
Here are the highlights:
Carrington Farms organic, extra virgin coconut oil (pure, unrefined, cold-pressed): $15.99 for 4 lb. jar
Nature's Earthly Choice chia seeds: $10.99 for 2-lb. bag
Kerrygold grass-fed Irish butter: $6.79 for a 24 oz. pkg
I was so geeked that I bought large quantities of all of the above. I never can trust Costco to stock a certain item for a long period of time. I'm going to vacuum-pack the butter and freeze it for later.
Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!

Wow!! That's awesome wish I lived near a Costco.0

it's the best price for coconut oil around here to.
i also buy cocoa and maple syrup there. not sure if there prices are the best, but i go through a lot, probably to much of those two things.0 -
I'll have to look for the butter!! I know in western Canada Costco stocks chia and just recently coconut oil.....
Feels so good to get what you want doesnt it!? lol0 -
They also sell grassfed beef, organic free-range chicken, and Paleo Cookbooks at Costco. You can find some pretty amazing stuff there.0

Oh and btw, they always stock Kerrygold from my experience. Usually they have a consistent stock at Costco, more so than my local Sprouts does of Kerrygold. It's so rich and creamy. Yum!0

We are totally getting a new Costco in Fort Wayne. This post has made me really excited to check it out! Thanks!0

The town I live in is nearly perfect...with the significant exception of a Costco. Sounds like a wonderful haul! I just paid $4 for 8 oz of Kerrygold. Ugh.0
-
Hmmm.... I live 100 miles from the nearest Costco and we only have one grocery in town. Looks like next time I go out of town I'll be stocking up on a few things.0
-
Ahh! Thank you so much for the post. I'm getting the Kerrygold next time!0
-
In addition to Kerrygold butter, they have Kerrygold grass fed cheddar cheese at the Costco near me. I think it's called 'Dubliner'. It's in the refridgerator thing close to the Kerrygold butter.0
-
Our Costco also carries organic, free range eggs and raw nuts for a great price.0
-
Hmm we don't have a Costco but have Sam's. I buy free range eggs, organic spinach, bananas, avocados, organic olive oil, citrus fruits, organic berries. I have never thought of looking for kerrigold butter though, I will have to look.0

Tee hee. I'm still a little high off that Kerrygold find at Costco. My regular grocery (Meijer) and local crunchy store (Better Health) *never* stock it. The ladies at the Costco check-out were chuckling at me because I was so geeked out! I felt like I was fondling little bricks of gold as I vacuum-packed that butter. My little stash of 24# of coconut oil, 4# of chia, and 6# of Kerrygold is safely stowed away. Thanks for all the other heads-ups on other good products. I'll have to take a look into the beef and chicken, for sure.0

Central Ohio alert.

I found Kerrygold butter at the Giant Eagle on the corner of Hayden Run and Sawmill. It was in a small cooler section in one of the aisles (not near the other butter).
There is also a Costco up near Polaris but that seems to be too far to go to just get a small set of items.0 -
The closest Costco to us is a 3 hour drive, that my parents are luckily taking today. They are going to look for coocnut oil, and coconut aminos for me. Fingers crossed!0

Thank you for the tip!0

I was at BJ's today and did not think of even looking for Kerrygold. I have a Costco, Sam's Club, Whole Foods, and Trader Joe's all within 5-10 miles and have no problem of finding Kerrygold. One good thing, is that my local grocery store (Stop & Shop) now carries Nutiva Coconut oil, but a bit pricey. I did purchase it from Amazon along with my ghee, but now Costco carries the 54 oz jug of Nutiva Coconut oil. Just will buy my ghee from Amazon. I just wish I could find it local. The indian store nearby has ghee but not that good.0

I love Costco more and more every time I go there. We had originally ordered our coconut oil from Amazon. We found the same brand (Nutiva), in a bigger container, that cost less. I like that they carry ground bison, although we haven't tried it yet. Gotta love the big bottles of organic EVOO too!0

Thanks for the heads up! I was planning on going there tomorrow!0

I moved to the UK and I SO MISS COSTCO! All of you paleo/primal people living in the US, enjoy it for me!

Meadows,
I always make my own ghee, about 2 lbs of unsalted butter at a time. I store the bulk of it in the fridge or freezer...it's got a shelf-life of about 158 years. It's a messy job, but super-easy, and only takes about an hour or so. Store-bought ghee is extravagantly expensive.0 -
I also buy the Coleman nitrite/nitrate-free bacon and sausage at Costco. Love that place!0
-
I wish Canada would come around and finally allow Kerrygold butter to be imported into the country. Enjoy those 24oz packs of golden goodness you guys!0
-
There are costcos in the Uk I live a a few miles from one. I love it0
-
i forgot, our Costco carries cases of roasted seaweed, too. I think of it as primal, don't know for sure if it qualifies, but It's a nice snack when I haven't made kale chips.0
