I don't usually buy meat at Costco, so my list usually looks something like:
Bananas 1 other fruit, depending on what is in season 1 pack berries (rotate type by trip - strawberries one time, blueberries another, etc) Bell peppers Cucumbers Cherry tomatoes Possibly one big package of vegetables like broccoli, which we use a lot of Cheese Wine Case of San Pellegrino sparkling water Coffee beans Butter Frozen salmon Pantry staples (not every time, but replace as they are getting low): rice, pasta, nuts (their big bags of pecans and almonds are the best), flour, sugar, brown sugar when we're approaching fall baking season Household goods - paper towels, tp, batteries, laundry soap, PJs for the kids |

Their prices for pecans, cashews, vanilla extract and maple syrup are unbeatable. I also love their tilapia loins, which taste much better than a tilapia fillet. The frozen shrimp is a good price too.
What I don't buy there is half-and-half. It's like 80 cents more than what I can get at Harris Teeter. I don't understand it. |

Olive oil, olives, diced tomatoes, artichoke hearts, lots of chicken (packs of thighs and wings), big thing of parm, eggs, the bagged kale salad from that cold room, sparkling water, scotch, prosecco, dishwasher detergent, 3-4 fancy beers for the hubs
I've tried to buy produce there a couple of times but it's always been dicey (an entire 10 lb bag of onions covered in mold when I took them out as soon as we got home??), so I get produce from our CSA or closer to home. But we get pantry staples and frozen food there. |

Organic eggs
Lifeway kefir avocados berries mini cucumbers tomatoes mushrooms Kirkland tuna PB Mixed nuts jar cheese crisps (like crackers, but made 100% of cheese) popcorn frozen wild salmon Kirkland shampoo and conditioner. Phenomenal. Like $8-10/huge bottle. I've read it's Pureology who makes it for Kirkland, which would retail multiples higher. Works so well, is vegan, no sulfates, etc. |

For years we've done our weekly shopping there, spending about $125 or so every time. Just last week I tried Wegmans because the produce everywhere, including Costco, has been so bad lately.
Weekly: Big bag spinach Bell peppers Tomatoes Cucumbers Baby carrots Milk Pretty often: Eggs Cheese Nuts Fresh fruit Raw chicken breasts Sandwich thins Yogurt Applesauce cups or pouches Vitamins Gum Wine Bottled drinks Household paper products (kleenex etc) Sometimes: Steak or wild salmon Clothes Food gifts for teachers Impulse purchases like dog toys Also our mattresses are from Costco, and we bought a cruise vacation through them. |

Op here.
Backstory is I have 2 kids home with me; saw a need and an open window but no time to make a list. I generally can handle just going in and getting 'regular' stuff but was a little concerned that I would go overboard ha ha. *Risky going in with no list, right?* Some of the lists above helped me get myself together. I got gas. Spent $100 and I'm prett pleased! Rotisserie chicken 2 milks 4 boxes cereal/granola Cheese crisps someone ^ mentioned Just ran out of our massive bag o rice from 1.5 years ago! S got jasmine rice Bananas Mini kind bars, already such a perfect buy Roasted chickpea snack Fresh mangoes Natures own bread Thanks all! Ps I upgraded to executive membership today. They had a thing where upgrading is only $25, 2% back, with guaranteed return check of 25 if I don't make that much back. |
