    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.

    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.

    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.

    Here are the things I find to be cheaper at Costco:

    Daves Bread
    Cooking spray
    Produce
    Allergy meds (both pharmacy and over the counter)
    Roasted chicken
    Zip loc bags
    kitchen garbage bags
    TP and paper towels
    Frozen chicken breasts
    Frozen turkey burgers (my Costco is under remodel and has limited freezer and doesn't have these currently :-1:

    I buy other things there but those seem to be the things that will make me plan a trip when I need them!

    Think I will need to try some new things! Here's our Costco must haves:

    Morningstar chipolte blackbean burgers
    Wonton shrimp soup - freezer section
    Frozen blueberries
    Fresh fruit and veggies
    Milk
    Cheeses- extra sharp cheddar
    Honeyville peanut butter powder (great in smoothies @ a fraction of the cals)
    Chia seeds
    Torta rolls
    And something from the liquor section - great prices

    There's no costco in my city I have to drive to the next to shop there. I go once a month and make it count. I'm talking two shopping carts lol! I may need a third with all of these yummy sounding frozen goods!!

    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.

    What so you use the sausage patties for? All of your frozen items sound delish. Omg costco hot dogs yummnmm! I buy one for my kids so I can shop in peace :)

    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.

    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!
    I just discovered that better than bouillon and have been cooking my chicken with a bit of it so amazing!!

    Oh yeah! I buy this too. And nuts.

    I could go on, but I buy as much as I can from Costco. Great quality, great prices, and a great return policy. The ONLY thing I hate about Costco is the way they check your cart & receipt on the way out the door. Complete BS, but I'll put up with it for all that is good about the place.
