    You are going to love costco, we buy everything there, great quality, and I would say 90% of products are cheaper than you can find anywhere else.

    Canadian as well. I typically go to Costco for produce. You can't beat their prices on produce. They also have big packs of beef jerkey, and also 12-packs of Naan bread that I use to make mini pizzas. They also usually have great prices on yogurt (greek and normal)

    Anything that you will use before it spoils, BUT, watch the price. Supermarket specials are often better than Costco. Just because Costco has it, and the package is huge, does not mean that it is the best unit price.

    You can get their rostiserie(?) chicken, bacon, honey, meats, cookies, tortillas, toothbrushes, mouthwash, pads (yes! don't laugh), midol, vitamins, medicine, clothes, glasses (they're cheap!), and don't miss out on their pizza in their food court. Definitely good enough to kill the craving for only $2 a slice!! :yum:

    I love Costco usually buy my meat there then separate into what size I need being empty nesters. Don't buy a lot of fruit produce don't eat it fast enough buy broccoli and celery, chicken breast not frozen (too much salt) butter, eggs, some bread laundry soap etc. I also have an app on my phone called Flipp which you can set up with your favorite stores then type in search what your looking for and it will list it at which store who has it cheaper if your a shopper who doesn't mind going from store to store. I use it for
    Produce cause here in Canada it's crazy.

    There are ultra discount stores in my neighbourhood that I frequent for regular foods, like Giant Tiger, No Frills, and H & W Produce.

    Since I am feeding for two, I NEVER get bulk spices from Costco any more. I won't use them up.

    Costco is great for unique bulk items like Edamame, protein bars and protein powder. They have a black bean pasta worth trying, and a wafer-thin flat bread. Their snack tuna tins are great.

    I am a Western Canadian, so my store availability and food choices might be different than yours.

    In the UK - their in-store cakes are wonderful - their sponge biirthday cake with icing is the best thing ever. Their sesame seeds bagels amazing. I drive 13 miles to Costco just for them.

    Coffee! (3lb for $15 and it's not just OK it's *good*) Bathroom tissue, paper towels, facial tissues. Unsalted Mixed Nuts, canned tuna, soups. Dry cereal, sometimes. Large canisters of McCann's Irish Oatmeal.
    Sliced turkey/chicken for sandwiches that come in multi-packs so it's not all opened to the air at the same time. 2lb blocks of cheddar cheese.
    Their produce and other "fresh" stuff, you need to experiment with because it's no longer a bargain if you end up throwing half away. I get salad-makings (fresh spinach, red peppers, grape tomatoes) and bread there but not much else in the way of standard perishable unless I know I can freeze half.
    In that vein: frozen panko-breaded chicken nuggets and fish sticks, frozen Three Berries, frozen french fries.

    Part two, inspired by rereading:
    Kirkland Greek yogurt in the large tubs, which I dish out into small Rubbermaid containers along with the aforementioned Three Berries to make my own fruit-on-bottom yogurts with far less sugar.
    Kirkland brand peanut butter *rocks.* Two giant jars for somewhere around ten bucks, and it's all-natural without feeling the need to be labelled as such. No added sugar or oils or ANYthing. Just peanuts and a bit of sea salt. All this means is that it will separate, but stirring (or storing it in the fridge) takes care of that.
    Canned beans, found in the same aisle as the soup.
    Craisins. Almonds and/or walnuts from the baking-stuff aisle not the snack aisle so there's no salt added, but I have a hard time finishing those before they start to go stale (even with storing inside airtight containers) so I don't get them all the time.

    I noticed last night my Costco now has calories listed on the food court menu board. I don't know how right they are. It said the pepperoni pizza had fewer calories than the combo or cheese slice. I guess it's possible. A churro is over 500, I think. Yikes.
