Since many of us make Costco runs, what do you get there? I have a standard list of about a dozen things I regularly get:
coffee
nuts (I get the raw walnuts to throw in salads, use for snacks, etc. We used to get almonds but our dentist said they are too hard to munch on)
skinny popcorn
chopped up cooked roto chicken (I rebag and use it for stir-fry, chicken casserole, chicken salad)
fresh produce including berries
jalapeno pimento cheese
frozen potstickers and spanakopita
frozen chicken breasts
oatmeal
butter
peanut butter
cheese: I really like the large containers of grated parmigiano reggiano
vitamins and other supplements
Premier protein (I usually wait until that goes on sale which seems to happen quarterly)
What do you get?

I also have trouble with those hard almonds. I have found that toasting them makes them easier to chew.

I forgot - I also buy Newman's Own K-Cups. Don't use them all that often, but good to have in the house and it isn't bad coffee. Also the Glad Press and Seal, and ziploc bags.
I don't really buy much food there - with two of us the industrial sizes are a bit much.

I forgot we also get trash bags, ziploc bags and the like.
There are usually just the two of us (younger dd is living with us currently) and we still managed to stock up on food. When we moved to New Mexico our closest Costco is now an hour away instead of just 10 minutes. So, we bought a freezer for the garage so we could stock up when we make our once a month trip. There is a Sam's Club closer, but I don't shop there.

There is a Sam's Club closer, but I don't shop there. I haven't been in Sam's Club in ages. Is there really a big difference? We have several Costco's nearby and I also have military commissary privileges, so I don't tend to overstock the larder. |

Not impressed. Mostly I don't want to shop there because they are a subsidiary of Walmart and I don't shop Walmart. I've seen a few online comparisons where Costco comes out overall ahead. Here is an article that might be interesting. |
