We buy all of our meat and lots of fruits and veggies there. I try to buy most everything there actually. What does everyone else buy frequently there. Any great products?

I love the superfoods salad mix. Roasted chicken always. I keep frozen fish, shrimp, stirfry vegetable mix in our freezer. Quinoa is staple from there and because gluten can give me some issues, the Crunchmaster GF crackers.
I love the individual serving cups of hummas and guacamole. I buy a lot of cleaning supplies as well there. Oh and I love the glass food storage containers to keep all the food fresher longer0 -
Toilet paper, dishwasher detergent and parchment paper. I don't buy much else there since it is so much more expensive than my regular grocery stores.0
-
toilet paper,crunchmaster crackers,pita chips,hummus,frozen berries.roasted seaweed snacks0
-
Tenderloin, strawberries, salmon, organic lean ground beef, Special K0
-
Nuts, Liberte 2% yogurt, frozen blueberries and mangos, hummus, whole wheat english muffins0
-
I buy everything I can there too. Meats, veggies, fruits, almond milk, flax, chia, protein bars, oil, vinegar, honey, pet treats, dog beds, water, household cleaning and paper products. It's just me and my four dogs. Items I can't get there I will just hit Targer or Trader Joes but those trips are never enough to fill a basket. I'm there at least once a week.0

Gotta go with the meat department for most frequent purchases. We do buy quite a bit of fruits and veggies (avocados!). They also have a killer selection of cheeses.0
-
Frozen items:
- Morningstar veggie sausage patties- less than half the cost than at the grocery store
- Basil/Pesto talapia filet- Easy & SO GOOD, 120 cals/ 18g protein I believe
- Salmon filets- Good for grilling
- Turkey burgers- 1/3lb only 200 cal!
Oh and a frozen swirl yogurt because I can't leave Costco without one. Usually end up with a hotdog too.0 -
Protein powder, chicken breasts, pork tenderloin, ground turkey. They have this awesome chicken tortilla soup that I buy often too.0
-
Fiber one bars, Skinny Pop Popcorn meats and veggies, yes. My "favorite" is the "Better than bullion". Add it in a small amount to meals for So much flavor. Still high in sodium, but I don't care about that! I made a low calorie chicken breast with creamy caper sauce the other night that makes low calorie taste indulgent. Yum!0

I don't really like the fresh produce at the Costco in my town. I do buy meat there on occasion but SAMs Club has better deals on their chicken breast so I stick to toilet paper, diapers, baby wipes, bottled water, paper towels, dog flea medicine, dog food, occasional milk, and eggs. I use to buy dr. pepper but I finally quit soda all together.0

- Almond Breeze Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
- Toilet Tissue
- Paper Towel
- Soon to be Morningstar Veggie Sausage
- Any other treats I find along the way...

All of my paper-goods but I couldn't live without my MEAT. Chicken (breasts, wings, and once in a while thighs), ground beef, steaks, scallops, pork, turkey, ham (so good and great low cal.), once in a while bacon and the specials for shell-fish and the frozen shrimp - no shell, cleaned and raw. Plus cheese, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Bush's beans, canned tomatoes, coffee and tea. I can't use the produce because I can't eat it fast enough in that large quantity except AVOCADO, I love avocado!0

The rest of the family eats their pretzel buns like they're manna from heaven. I've never had one, 200 calories is a bit spendy for a piece of bread IMO.
We buy most of our meats and produce there. I buy a chuck roast package from there every few weeks, chop it up and braise it in whatever spices hit my fancy plus a bottle of beer, freeze about half of it into individual portions, and the rest gets eaten in the next three or four days, often as tacos. We eat a lot of their boneless skinless chicken too.
The kalamata olives in the deli section are a big hit, and so is the Belgiorno individual mozzarella slices (check the weight on the slices, a slice usually weighs 1.25 oz but the serving size is 1 oz).
I think their almonds and pine nuts are a good deal. We eat toasted pine nuts on salads instead of croutons, and on pasta dishes and in veggie stir-fry.
Their bagged bacon crumbles are very popular in our house. My daughter put some on pizza last night - which she made from their pizza kit.
Cleaning supplies, paper supplies, etc. get bought either there or at Amazon through Subscribe and Save, depending on which is cheaper that month.0 -
I don't shop at Costco but I'm happy this isn't about Trader Joe's(where all the food is imported) or Whole Foods (where all the food is expensive).0

I like to get their oven roasted turkey breast, steak, chicken, and turkey burger. The meat is fresher and cheaper than local grocery stores.
I LOVE that they have fresh berries year round too. I am willing to pay extra during the winter for raspberries. The wine selection is also incredible and very cheap.0 -
We get all sorts of things. Usual stuff is hamburger buns, ground beef (sometimes, lately I been finding better hamburger elsewhere), raw chicken drumsticks & breasts, watermelon, strawberries, cantaloupe, apples, etc, frozen corn, green beans, frozen breaded tilapia fish, bacon, butter, yogurt, coconut oil, tortilla chips, oatmeal, paper plates, paper towels, toilet paper, other misc items sometimes like clothing or pharmacy.0

I live in British columbia so there's no booze in our costco!!! Whenever I go to the states I'm in awe of the selection and how cheap it is. We had fun on our vacation selecting everything and were on cloud9 with the final total.

Frozen blueberries
Fresh fruit and veggies

I usually just eat them with eggs, or crumble them up to put in a omlette, or as a snack with a bit of melted cheese.0 -
