Milk
Eggs
Bread (Use one freeze the other loaf)
English muffins
Greek yogurt, plain as well as flavored cups
Fruit - organic berries, frozen berries, apples, oranges, lemons, champagne mangoes
Butter - Store brand unsalted for baking, salted Kerrygold for the table
Maple Syrup
Honey
Kodiak Cakes pancake mix
Oats
Quinoa
Flour
Sugar
Canned tomatoes
Cauliflower rice
Veggies - big bag of spinach, avocados, colored peppers, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, broccoli florets, mushrooms, onions year round.
More seasonal: bag of sweet potatoes, bag of Italian eggplant
San Pellegrino
Peanut butter
Almond butter
Pre-packaged snacks for kids
Pharmacy -
contact lens solution
Aveeno
Eucerin & Aquaphor for my kid with eczema
Children's vitamins & allergy tablets
All this plus gas. The things we don't buy at Costco are ones we don't get through much of. Also not spices, rice, lentils - we get those at Indian/ Asian store.
Am I the only one that hates the containers the gallon milk comes in? I won't buy it there because of it.
PP who hates the milk, they modified the spout ever so slightly so it's not hard to pour anymore. My husband used to hate Costco milk for that reason, but is fine with it now.
Try not to buy the milk, better to get elsewhere organic if you can.
Nah, I’m good with Costco. https://www.foodandwine.com/why-costco-milk-stays-fresh-longer-11776391

The parmesan cheese is very good and half the price of what you will find elsewhere. Aged 2+ years. Don't buy the pre-grated stuff; it is not nearly as good.

I hate the gallon jug but like the 3 1/2 gallon option - it fits on the fridge door and frees up space as you drink through the milk.
We have 2 little kids, though; buying 1.5 gallons at a time might be too much for some families.

Why? You can put all the groceries in the coffin for the ride home.
Finally someone with a sense of humor.
I was thinking you could just get little legs for it and use it like a side table. Fill with Costco bulk products as a spare pantry until death do us part.

I love all things Costco but can't use those milk jugs. They're hard to manage.
