Tell me about your favorite Costco items.
Fresh or frozen fish? Easy meals? Snacks? Prepared meals? We recently went and picked up some easy meals because we didn't feel like cooking this week but would love more ideas. I am very interested in their fish. We picked up the following- Sukhis Tikka masala and mini naan Rana cheese ravioli Yakisoba veg noodles Potstickers Chicken flautas Mango Nuts |

| Smoked Norwegian salmon. Green grapes. Madjool dates. Water, Kirkland toilet paper. They also have two chickens for a great cheap price. Not rotisserie, fresh ones. Vitamin D. Glasses and contacts for dd, artichoke hearts, I love, love those. I drain the oil and rinse it, that is way too much oil. Before my wheat allergy, non celiac specific, I loved their croissants. Coconut clusters. |

Not to be a buzzkill, but be aware that a lot of the prepared foods have a ton of sodium. That said, here's what I always buy there: Milk, half & half, Kerrygold butter and Noga plain whole milk yogurt (all much cheaper than the regular grocery store) Pesto Wild Alaskan smoked salmon toilet paper & paper towels, Kirkland laundry soap Frozen organic blueberries & strawberries Morey's frozen seasoned salmon Salad mixes Baby potatoes Sukhi's chicken curry Colombian coffee Nuts & berries trail mix |

I prefer Costco for cooking from scratch ingredients and TJ's for fast frozen meals. We usually don't like many of the prepared or frozen items from Costco but there are a few that are good.
Marinated Salmon Beer battered Cod (we use to make fish tacos) Costco Mac and Cheese (its in the area where the in store prepared foods are located) Rocky Breaded Chicken Tenders Grilled Mediterranean Chicken Skewers (we grill them to heat them up) |

| The Tikka masala and the frozen mango are good. I also get the frozen organic 3 berry mix. Frozen mahi and the Chilean seabass were both good. Some kind of ramen or udon noodle in a light brown package think it's GF. The salad kits are not healthy but they are delicious and convenient. Blocks of feta. Comte cheese. |

| The frozen quiches seems great. |

| Disgusting but so useful. The 1/2 cooked bacon. I guess it's fully cooked but I wouldn't eat without cooking. I'm keto so end up eating bacon on the regular. But I hate how cooking it smells up the kitchen. |

If we’re just talking food, here’s my list. We buy a lot of other things from cleaning/household stuff, to small appliances, electronics, clothing, seasonal items. We also get photos printed there and go there for vision care. Love Costco and we thought we would not save that much $$/it wouldn’t be worth it for our family of 4 but I think we actually save a ton. Most items are so much cheaper there than giant, Safeway, etc.
We don’t like a lot of Costco’s prepared foods either. I’m vegetarian (Really a pescatarian) so can’t comment on the meats but I do like the yakisoba and ravioli and my husband likes the chicken tikka masala. And we do like their salmon—the fresh, the smoked, and the one that comes w pesto butter. We go about once per month and typically get: Organic Milk Cheese (tillamook) Greek yogurt Kerrygold butter Mini naan Sandwich bread Tortillas Clementines/mandarins Fresh Spinach and/or Bagged salad Bell peppers Baby carrots Broccoli Bananas Seasonal fresh fruit such as peaches, plums, melons, pineapples Fresh Berries Frozen berries for smoothies Walnuts Almonds Peanuts Canned tomatoes Pasta Rice Beans Granola Cheerios and occasionally other cereals Coffee Alcohol Sparkling water Kids snacks: goldfish, pirates booty, graham crackers, applesauce, fig bars |

I LOVE the mini naan! I use them to make homemade pizza.
My other favorite were these bagel chips they had at the start of the pandemic that I haven't found since. I am confused why everyone is listing everything they buy there, including staples, when OP asked for favorites .... |

| We recently tried the miso glazed cod and really liked it. Easy to cook too- just put frozen piece of fish in a foil packet, either in the oven or on the grill. Makes clean up super easy too. |

| The chicken street tacos are awesome. Also love the pesto for easy meals (on pasta, pizza or baguette). |
