Besides the rotisserie chicken. I just joined and I’m curious what everyone else likes!

Kirkland brand pesto.

Non-organic milk is much cheaper.

Kerrygold and Rao's are also cheaper (and currently marked down even more than usual).

I don’t like the rotisserie chicken. I like the:

Pesto
Marinated frozen salmon
Vanilla ice cream
Ice cream sandwiches
Indian style popsicles
Cheesecake
Multigrain bakery bread
Kirkland Brie cheese
Kerrygold butter
Nuts
Snack mixes (eg trail mix and nut mixes)
Spinach and cheese ravioli
Grass fed ground beef
Mayorga coffee
Kirkland strawberry jam
Stone kitchen bluberry jam
Imported Italian pasta
Raos pasta sauce

Their 24-month aged Parmesan is excellent, and significantly cheaper than elsewhere. In fact, I'd guess we make our annual fee back on Parmesan savings alone.

I can't buy the shaved or shredded Parmesan in the plastic containers anymore. I can't not eat it and go through it way too fast. It's so good.

Some things we only buy at Costco (bc they’re SO much cheaper there relative to other grocery stores):
cheese
granola & other cereals
Coffee
Snacks (crackers, cookies, chips)
Medicine
Shampoo & conditioner
Sunscreen
Lotion & face creams/serums
Seafood
Seasonal items (boxes of chocolate around Christmas time we give out as teacher gifts or hostess gifts, Halloween candy, Halloween costumes, wrapping paper)
Sparkling water
Alcohol
Toilet paper, paper towels, kitchen trash bags, laundry detergent, liquid soap, Kleenex
Gas

Oh and if you need glasses or hearing aids, Costco is great for optical care and auditory care. We also get our vaccines there (flu, covid) and have gotten new tires there.

Socks and underwear
Cerave and Cetaphil products
Pharmacy
Sunglasses—got new RayBans recently (nonprescription)
Avocado oil much cheaper

Agree with what everyone else has posted too.

Samples are fun!

If it’s convenient for gas, where I live (not DMV) they’re consistently 30-60 cents cheaper a gallon than other gas stations in town. I drive 20K miles a year so it adds up!
