[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It really depends on what your family likes/needs.  I always look at the seasonal stuff as you can get great buys on some things you might need (like folding chairs for soccer games, snorkel equipment, grass seed, etc.).

Other than that, again it really depends on what you like, but here are some good buys:
Kirkland pesto (I freeze in smaller quantities)
Marinated frozen wild salmon
Spinach and cheese frozen ravioli
Kerrygold Butter
Fresh berries (freeze some for smoothies if too much to eat quickly)
Maybe the salad packagaes - waaay cheaper than going to Chop't for lunch
Maybe the organic chicken breast nuggets if you kids eat that kind of thing -- they are pretty good.
Chlorox wipes, kleenex, TP, paper towels (it's nice to only buy this stuff 1x a year and forget about it)
Organic fruit bars in snack section -- my kid loves these in lunch
Kirkland brand dried mango
Nuts
Coffee
Black beans
Rao's tomato sauce
Cento canned marzono tomatos
Depending on what kind of pasta shapes you like, their italian imported pasta is quite nice
If you want a splurge, the chocolate covered almonds are delicious
If you're the type of family that eats packaged bread, it's a good price here.  Also the PB.
If you're a jam family, the Kirkland strawberry jam is awesome and they also usually have that Bon Manne mixed berry jam, which is fabulous.
If you're an ice cream family, the kirkland premium vanilla is excellent.  I like it with nuts and banana and a drizzle of chocolate syrup.
They have some very nice cheeses, but I can't really get through them as a small family so I only buy those if we are having people coming over.  I do get their parmesan though as its very high quality and parm stays good for so long.

Tires and good prices there, and the car rental prices are usually the best I can find.  Vacation can be hit or miss but we've sometimes got a ton of costco cashback by rebooking a hotel or cruise through costco.

Obviously, gas.

Prescription glasses and a lot of medicine -- my allergy medicine is a fraction of the price there (I get the kirkland generic).  Their knockoff Voltaren is also very cheap. We get multivitamins there, and also wrinkle cream is hit or miss but can be significantly cheaper.  [/quote]
you a costco youtuber or something? bravo!
