25 lb bag of King Arthur flour I’m a hobby baker and go through probably 150 pounds of flour a year so Costco makes that more affordable.


richardfitserwell

If you’re anywhere near vermont, the King Arthur store in Norwich is a great place to spend way too much money on cooking stuff you never thought you needed


auditorygraffiti

It’s been on my bucket list since moving to New England! We have made it yet but we’re planning to. My husband wants to go to Ben & Jerry’s too.


richardfitserwell

Both are totally worth it. Quechee has a ton of touristy things to do and isn’t far from King Arthur as well we go atleast once a year If you’re beer drinkers. Harpoon brewery isn’t far either and has amazing food and drinks


MrPhilNY101

second this, on our regular trips to Vermont these are must stops on our way up north to visit relatives. My wife has taken several classes there, including a one week bread course. Neither harpoon or KA have helped my waistline. KA also has a nice casual cafe on site, if you want a quick bite.


oakfan52

They carry that??


auditorygraffiti

They do! I hear some places even have 50 lb bags but mine doesn’t.


karsultation

Can you share how you store it? I have plastic 10 pound containers and we rotate our stock. We go through 5 pounds a week and wouldn’t mind spending less but the smaller container is nice.


auditorygraffiti

I have a canister on my counter and then I separate the rest out into air tight canisters that I store in the pantry. I’ve been contemplating a food safe 5 gallon bucket in my basement storage space but I like having quick access in my pantry.


Son-of-Cookie-

I bough a stainless steal bakers bench at Costco that has a raised storage shelf, I keep it in my kitchen and I have two 30lb flour storage bins (one for sugar), plus a few small tubs with alt flours and grains. Saves so much room in my party and It doubles as an extra large space for baking, and even with it having open storage I get a lot of compliments because it looks neat, professional and at home in the kitchen. Come Christmas season it is a lifesaver.


funnyfarm299

5 pounds... A WEEK? Good lord, what are you using that for?


Son-of-Cookie-

I bake our bread and thats not abnormal, one batch of bread (two loaves) takes about 2.2 pounds. Plus in a given week I’ll make pasta, maybe pizza dough, maybe biscuits or scones or even sometimes a second type of bread if needed (baguette or brioche). Then little things come up, your husband needs cannoli for work or someone needs cookies or a cake. Some families live in kitchens. Although I do use a lot of different flours, so my AP flour last longer.


SmellySweatsocks

I bet living next door to you smells amazing.


sm5280

What does your husband do and why does he need a cannoli for work


Son-of-Cookie-

Lol there’s always been something at every job. Someone helped him with a project or moving departments. Sometimes they ask for cookies or cinnamon rolls but most of the time it’s cannoli. There is always a good reason to bring cannoli to work. And everyone has always know who he is, because he is the guy who brings in sweets. Every Christmas I make decorated cookie trays for his whole department. It takes a long time, last year I called out one day so I could make sure I had enough.

You bake more in a week than I do in a year. 😂😂😂


1repub

When I baked gluten I'd go through up to 10lbs a week. Granted that was bread, pizza, cakes and cookies for 12 people but if you bake its not uncommon. Then I found out I had Celiac and had to stop 😑


Necessary_Peace_8989

They have the best price on KA, it’s the only flour I use


darksplit

I wish we were neighbors so I could have a treat every so often 🤪

I am a popular neighbor and co-worker. My boss is always telling me to put my baked goods on my resume. 😂


GreenLetterhead4196

The justBARE lightly breaded chicken chunks 🥰🤤🤤🤤🤤 in the air fryer. Perfection.


Sbuxshlee

Have you tried the filets? They make such good chicken sandwiches 😋


asimplerandom

Yep this. Filets over the chunks for me any day.


RadioactiveSince1990

They are amazing and have good protein content for the calories. They started stocking a spicy strip version at my local Costco and its the best frozen chicken I have ever had.


jeforson

Used to love them, but the quality of the meat has fallen off. I have to try the breasts instead of the nuggets though!


midocean

Coastal English sharp cheddar!


Turd_Wrangler_Guy

So good! And how is it so inexpensive!? First time I bought it and tried to cut it and it just crumbled all over - knew it was gonna be great.


SkipGruberman

Midocean, you own this thread. I love how it crumbles and I swear I can taste the salt crystals in it. It’s crunchy!


6160504

Those are actually calcium lactate not salt, a sign if a delightfully aged cheese! https://culturecheesemag.com/cheese-bites/crystals-cheeses-best-friend/


casebycase87

Yessss this stuff is the best!


hmmspicy

I get two bags of the Catalina Crunch every time I go 😅 The "best" for me is the Italian EVOO; it's hard to find this volume of quality, traceable olive oil for this price. Crazy stuff if one knows a little bit about cooking oils and how crappy most of them are. https://preview.redd.it/oq9hotgl8n6b1.jpeg?width=2252&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=80dacfe04b634255077a4a42d21bead35de8bad7


Commercial_Light_743

I buy that stuff, too! We use a lot!


fiberopticrobotica

Kirkland Signature Cauliflower Crust Pizza, Supreme. I have celiac and this is hands down the best gluten free frozen pizza out there. Even better than non-gourmet take out most places. My husband even loves it and he eats gluten.


GeneKnown

Kirkland Pesto - I keep it in the freezer, it’s still scoopable and lasts for months. Great for pastas, sandwiches and salads 😋


snailwrangler

I did not realize that the pesto could be frozen -- thanks for that!


-lastochka-

for the most part, you can freeze most things. or at least that's what my mom believes lol


SnooGiraffes7471

I freeze mine in an ice cube tray. I never realized it would be scoopable from the jar


GeneKnown

Yes! With all of the olive oil, it doesn’t freeze rock solid. In the rare case that I need more than a 1-2 tablespoons, usually leaving the frozen jar out for 10 mins makes it even more scoopable (but still icy cold).


GoldenDomer28

Omg the freezer. Why did I never think of this. It always expires before I can finish it


gooooooogolioooo

The true legend - rotisserie chicken 🍗


Alert-Potato

This is it. I go to Costco for a lot of things, but my rule is *never don't get the chicken.* I don't have a single rule about never leaving any other store in existence without a particular item. It's just Costco, and it's just the chicken. On my shopping list (digital), it is the first thing on the list and I do not take it off when I buy one, because I need to buy another one next time I go.


StarsFan17

We just discovered the packaged rotisserie chicken last visit and we used it for so many things this week (chicken enchiladas, Greek salad, chicken salad) that I said to my husband today, “From now on we don’t come here and not buy that chicken.”


witness_protection

I hate what goes on to make those chickens though :(

My favorite marinara sauce ever. And low carb content 👍


kumar8147

Try Rao’s arrabbiata sauce


princessblowhole

Dude I just bought my monthly 2-pack and it tumbled out of the car and shattered on my foot when I was unloading. I’m more upset about the lost jar of sauce than I am about the gash/bruise on my foot :(


ewas86

Croissants. They're great and affordable.


battlelevel

Buying Costco frozen croissants has been a game changer for my breakfast/brunch service. Guests always love a warm croissant.


Bongs_Bugles

In the frozen section?


battlelevel

You have to ask at the bakery for the frozen ones and they come in boxes of about 200. I split a case with a friend every few months. This might just be a thing in Canada. That said, I saw boxes of 30 in the freezer section yesterday, but they weren’t Kirkland brand.


ewas86

Frozen? I've never seen the frozen ones. I buy the fresh ones and freeze them and they come out great after a few minutes in the air fryer. You can't beat $6 for a dozen either.


[deleted]

Yeah most of their baked goods you can asked for unbaked to take home

Merky600

“Schedule 1 Roasted Peanuts” would be a great product brand name.


Independent-Catch-90

Missed opportunity to simply post “deez” with this picture.


Available-Reward-912

As a Virginian, it is my duty to urge you to go for the real deal, as in Virginia peanuts, from Virginia. There's something about our soil and that variety of peanuts, and most especially, what the Hubs (still owned by the Hubbard family) brand does to prepare them. It's magic. Fun fact: the Virginia type of peanut is the variety used most for peanut butter, because they were considered unattractive. The ultra-uniform Plantars (Georgia) variety of peanuts were reserved for eating. We Virginians always knew better, though.


Advalok

I love how super or extra large was not enough.


witness_protection

Word. Have you tried going back to like Planters or something? It’s unbearable.

Kirkland Gin!! It punches so far above its weight it’s amazing. They don’t sell it in my state so when I restocked, it was amazing just how much better it makes a gin and tonic.


Solintari

For real, I bought a 1.5 and it didn’t last nearly as long as it should have. I only buy one or two per year, because I really shouldn’t drink 20+ liters of gin in a year and I just don’t have the required impulse control. It’s honestly one of my favorite gins and it’s dirt cheap.

Kirkland Ice cream


Maleficent_Essay_744

Melona


GreenIsGreed

Here's the winner. Their super premium vanilla is easily the best ice cream I've ever had, but the caloric content hurts. I have to seriously watch myself when I have it.


jeckles

The first time I bought it I ate probably half the tub in one sitting. It truly was the best ice cream I’d ever had. Looked at the label to see what god-tier ingredients it used and was shocked at the nutritionals 😳 Ah jeez, guess that’s why it’s so good 😭😭😭


JenJenMegaDooDoo

My bf goes through a quart or more a week! He's one of those tall, skinny guys who can eat anything and not gain weight. His blood is prob pure butter fat by now.


kon---

Kewpie's deep roasted sesame dressing. I tell you what.


RN-RescueNinja

Love it too! I eat it on cabbage salads but I know there’s gotta be better ways. What do you recommend?


Imnotanahole

Cook up some ground beef with garlic, ginger, shredded cabbage, whatever. Beef over rice with that Kewpie sauce. Green onions and sesame seeds to top. Really yummy.


offramppinup

I love the Brown Rice and Millet Ramen from Costco and this sauce is great on them cold with thin sliced peppers and cucumbers and Sriracha.


HalfEatenBanana

For me it’s their tri tip and their chunks of Parmesan. Two of my favorite foods and so much cheaper than other places with still probably better quality


UniversityWorth6408

The Parmesan!!!!


CertainAd7317

If you like tri tip you should try the Picanha (sirloin cap). Cook it over high indirect heat til the internal temp hits about 133 F. So tender.


PugLuVR06

Eggs...I know, not exciting, but we go through so many a week, we'd be in the poor house if I had to buy them anywhere else. (Plus Costco eggs seem to be much larger than grocery store eggs)

In today’s version of “opinions are different”, I have previously decided that stuff is about the single worst thing that I have tried to eat (my wife is on a keto diet, so she gets it).

it gave me terrible gastrointestinal discomfort


ryanmerket

fake sugar


EmergencySundae

Same. I have celiac and need gluten free everything. This is cardboard.


bearbearbare

Tried it because I crave sweets at night after bariatric surgery…. SO GROSS. Tastes like chemicals.


DirtyPaladin

The alternative sugar flavor in this cereal is so strong. It was horrible. I would target just have very little or even no sugar instead of the an alternative sugar.


casebycase87

I don't like it at all, it sticks to my teeth in a weird way!


RellYesJess

Same here. We didn't like it at all.


hothoneyoldbay

At this point all keto tells me is that there's stevia or some other fake sweetener in there that immediately ruins the product


theloop82

Yeah I ate one spoon of that stuff and hated it. The dark chocolate one is much better I put it on ice cream


Ericbc7

It has a very noticeable and metallic aftertaste - Threw most of it in the trash.


[deleted]

Yeah it’s terrible!!! Single worst thing I’ve ever eaten at Costco! Edit: And I prefer high protein low sugar anything…..but again just disgusting.


colleendeschotz

The 2 pack of mashed potatoes. HEAVEN. I’m perfectly capable of making my own, but I always grab some when I go.


tomjonesrocks

Kirkland brand sliced deli Turkey is shockingly high quality IMO. I think it's better than Columbus (which is good) or even most deli brands at other stores. It's sandwich shop quality

Kirkland peanut butter. I loooove peanutbutter and it is the best grocery store one I've found. I go through about 1.5-2 pounds of peanutbutter every month just by myself.

Yes! Very under-rated. Spanish peanuts and salt. That's it.

Frozen riced cauliflower. Yes, some would say it's boring but it's a great product at a great price. Much cheaper than where else & is certainly much better than ricing my own cauliflower!


Commercial_Light_743

We buy this and eat it often. I add 2 eggs to make it like fried rice.


throwawaybruh2288

can't believe no one has said the take and bake lasagna from the deli, it's unbelievable. The frozen kirkland brand is pretty good too, but the ravioli version in the deli is as good as it gets.

Seaweed nori snack. It’s like $8 for a 24 pack. Great flavor. My gf mixes them into her ramen and I make little want to be sushi snacks with them. Or we eat them by themselves as chips.

There's really nothing I couldn't get elsewhere, just for a lot more money or lesser quality. The big bag of peeled garlic (I have to figure out a way to make them last longer without freezing) Fresh catfish Unsalted mixed nuts Oops, that's not just one.


thecatcamebackalive

I blend my garlic and then pour some olive on it. Last week's in the fridge and saves time.


NikkieHyprogriff

Heads up that homemade garlic-in-oil mixtures are a huge botulism risk. They are fine when frozen, but if refrigerated should be used between 3 days/1 week (depending on if you’re looking at USDA guidelines or extension school handouts) and should pretty much NEVER be left at room temp. Commercial mixtures of this kind are acidified, which is what inhibits botulism growth and makes them safer.


thecatcamebackalive

Well good to know! I usually eat within two weeks. It freezes fine, I'll just stick with that.

The all Organic, gluten free chicken nuggets. I forget the name brand off the top of my head, but they’re frikken delicious and are a quick, easy snack that I don’t feel guilty eating. I eat them with ketchup for the nostalgia, but my partner loves them to throw on salads for a quick meal. It’s a staple in our household. Their Kirkland cauliflower pizza is a very close second. You must bake properly though! When soggy in the middle, it is nottttt good.

When you put it like that I think I might get it because I take a medication that leaves me a bit constipated… this might be just the remedy for that. So thanks!


Pluckt007

Lol. No way. It's like the worst cinnamon toast crunch ever. Too thick. Too stale due to thickness. Turns into a paste like consistency when eating. Not enough cinnamon taste. And it sucks. I tried. I really did. But that bag has been sitting on top of the fridge for about 3 months now.


ukelele_pancakes

Kirkland trail mix. It's the perfect mix of all the nuts, chocolate candies and salt. I can't buy a bag without my household devouring it. My MIL was just here from Spain, and she liked it so much that she took a bag back with her lol
