It varies: https://www.citi.com/credit-cards/citi-costco-anywhere-visa-credit-card But for Costco gas, 4% for first $7K. And for Costco purchases, 2%. |

I love Costco, here are my must buys:
1. Just Bare chicken tenders, omg so good 2. Frozen skinless boneless salmon filets, we eat these at least 1x per week 3. Peeled deveined frozen shrimp 4. Frozen stir fry veggies 5. The bibigo steamed dumplings 6. Prosciutto 7. The massive pork shoulders, I divide into 3-4 chunks and freeze 8. Giant tubs of Utz pretzels 9. Giant bags of tortilla chips 10. Beer, wine, hard seltzer, Spindrift 11. A rotisserie chicken 12. Bread, hamburger buns, tortillas... Huge bags but I stick half in the freezer 13. Big packages of Annie's Mac and cheese, cans of black beans, all my pantry staples 14. I'm iffy on the produce because it has to be something we'll eat quickly enough, but the bag of broccoli is enough for my family for one dinner, and the flats of honeycrisp apples last long enough for us to eat them all 15. The muffins 16. This is weird but I get myself a shrimp cocktail every time. It's my guilty pleasure |

Most of my purchases are basics that I know I’ll use and like to keep in stock.
The 8 packs of canned diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, green beans, black beans, chicken and beef broth, oatmeal, olive oil, the 3-4 packs of pasta, peanut butter, ketchup, mustard. Butter, shredded cheese that I freeze, frozen veggies, frozen fruit for smoothies, frozen entrees that DH likes for lunch. Kirkland coffee Keuric pods, paper goods, cleaning and laundry supplies. Very little meat. We get a quarter side of grass fed beef from a local farm, and I stock up on chicken and pork at Fresh Thyme’s fairly regular sale prices on chicken and pork. Tylenol, sinus meds, vitamins. Occasional big purchases (TV, laptop). Holiday or family get together stuff like cheeses and crackers, appetizers, wine, liquor. I go every 2-3 months or so as my stock-up items start getting low. Just started getting my gas there this past year as prices rose. |

Costco chicken pot pie is fantastic. The shepherd’s pie is pretty good too.

People who say its low quality are NOT in the know. Costco is premium and a good value. Its also plenty of the national brands, so IDK what you are talking about. Here are our standards:
organic milk Eggs Bananas Berries (when in season) Bagged Salad: Mediterrarnean Mix and also Avocado Crunch are favorites here Bakery: sandwich bread - Daves and another one. Also good baguette. Cookies: we like the black and whites and Palmiers Cheese - Parmesean wedge, fresh mozerella, Feta and the Deli meat turkey, procuitto, Smoked Salmon, Whitefish Salad Bella Vitano cant be beat. Brick cheddar in the black wax. Meat: organic chicken breast and also the 2 pack of whole organic birds, Prime NY Strip Yogurt - case pack of chobani fruit flavors, Kirkland plain greek yogurt (its big. ) Vanilla beans (seasonal) Vanilla extract olive oil, avocado oil Giradelli brownie mix Advil, vitamins, and allergy medicine Tampax dove soap La Mer cream razors If you have teens like I do, good rotation of sweat pants & sweatshirts at great prices / brands they want If you have little ones, half the store is for christmas toys right now when needed, we have purchased small appliances and mattresses, sheets and towels there. great quality and return policy. costco has never let me down. |

| The meals are pre made but not precooked — don’t knock it till you’ve tried it. |

I like the 500-count precut aluminum foil sheets. It beats the traditional roll and tear foil, and the precut sheets last forever. Walmart used to carry a similar pack, but it only had 50 sheets, and I haven't seen it sold since before the pandemic.
Other than that, and my big box of tampons, I could honestly live without Costco. |
