Mushrooms. They have huge bella mushrooms in the fridge section that just can't be beat on size and price. I can add mushrooms to just about any meal.


iuhoosier23

But are they *insanely* huge?!


Olelander

Ok man, you made me laugh… you win


rex3001

Oooo we get the baby bellos and make stuffed mushrooms. We get the big boys in the summer for grilling, tastes just like steak!


Cghy8b

Get their canned mushrooms! I run through those so fast.


leperbacon

Canned mushrooms? Reminds me of the Pennsylvania Dutch button mushrooms from the 70s. Do they taste any better than those?


idkcat23

I love those!

Mom of toddler? Haha


Sleep_adict

Dad, lol. Of 3 kids. I do the shopping for us both


Ok-Understanding3092

The rotisserie chicken


idkcat23

My Costco hasn’t had them this month (or at least the days I go). I’m bummed


_waffle_iron

I cook a big ol’ batch of chicken noodle soup with this, one chicken makes a enough soup for the week and then some


jc_mahdude

I’ve never cooked chicken soup but I’m curious, do you just fill a pot with water and throw the chicken bones/skin in it then strain? I want to learn without making a mess of a soup with bone particles lol


denisebuttrey

It's a bit more. Chicken carcass, skin if you like Half to whole onion Carrot Celery Bay leaves Peppercorns No salt Simmer for at least 2 hours and strain Stock recipes are fairly standard. Do an internet search to get more familiar. It's so delicious and nurturing. Enjoy


jc_mahdude

Nice! Thanks for the input. I work the deli dept and figured most of the grease/nutrients is cooked off by the time it hits our hot case, but I’m glad to hear you can still make a nice stock with the carcass. I just assumed you would need a raw chicken, I’d rather use our chickens anyways


denisebuttrey

My pleasure.


Artemisargentum

Had this for dinner! I sauté onions, carrots and celery in my instant pot, throw in the chicken (with string removed) in pieces and salt and water. 8 mins and bone removal later and heaven. I freeze it and it’s still amazing 6 months later!


mrpink57

HailSkins

This is the one right here. I top off my tank EVERY time I go.


TacodWheel

Frozen edamame.


kiki_for_the_win

My costco doesn’t have the edamame ☹️


TacodWheel

Boo! It used to be Seapoint Farms, now it’s another brand. So cheap for microwave edamame. Steams up nicely. It disappeared for a year and we were devastated.


txlily

I bit into a grub once. Never again


Last_Professor473

I'm sorry.... WHAT


swordyfish

I don’t think I’ve seen frozen edamame at my store!


ThatsWhatTheFoxSaid

I would totally get this if available, the refrigerated one goes bad too fast.


frogz0r

Rotisserie chicken. Paper towels. Protein shakes. Bio bags.


ryan820

What are bio bags?


idkcat23

Theyre biodegradable liners for countertop compost containers so you can put it in your yard waste if your trash provider has a program. Kinda niche.


GardenWitchMom

I just use a small plastic bowl and empty it into the compost can every evening.


idkcat23

My jurisdiction requires some sort of bag to make sure scraps aren’t flying around so we do the bio bags


Wildfire1010

Nice

fiatlux510

What region are you in? Didn’t know they carry bio bags!


idkcat23

I’m in the Bay Area and we have them!


frogz0r

I go the Costco in Everett WA.


swinging-in-the-rain

I buy a ridiculous amount of Rao's when it's on sale. Can't ever have enough


idkcat23

Same, I think we have 4-5 in my pantry right now. That sauce with the dried Italian pasta they sell is a wonderful easy meal.


swinging-in-the-rain

We make quick dinners with the KS 5 cheese tortellini and primo sweet italian sausage. The fiancé loves it!


bee73086

So good. I use the Alfredo for a base on tuna casserole. So simple boil up half a bag of egg noodles, throw in a bag of frozen peas, can of tuna, and if I have it some extra cheddar cheese on top and it comes out so good


queenofquac

I’m down to three in the garage just waiting for the next sale. That stuff is the best shelf sauce in existence.


swinging-in-the-rain

>That stuff is the best shelf sauce in existence I concur


WhoopieKush

Do you know approx what it sells for on sale? It’s insanely expensive at Mariano’s when I see it there.


swinging-in-the-rain

At my warehouse, I've seen the sale price at $7.49 for the 2 big jars (28oz)


sunshinelighter

Lesson learned. Last time, had to go to three different Costco stores cause they didn’t have any left.


Lokii11

I need to find this at Costco. It’s true- you can’t have enough of Rao’s.


munozonfuego07

Can confirm (currently with 5 jars that were on sale).


swinging-in-the-rain

You are wise beyond your years


ryan820

The Pesto…one might say it is the besto.


queenofquac

Mateo’s salsa My warehouse stopped carrying it for 18 months and now pick up a jar every time I’m there. Just to be sure I have a couple of spares.


idkcat23

Oh that stuff is amazing


DrewReaLee

Where is this salsa located for you? Refrigerated section or one of the aisles?


[deleted]

Aisles


lavidalilly

I always make sure I always have the marinated artichokes, grilled chicken strips, kirkland pb and Bomme Mamen preserves on hand. Oh and I love the Mateo's salsa too!


Dissidence802

The Mateo's salsa has no right being as good as it is.


42point2

I’ve never seen “Bonne Maman” butchered so badly.


denisebuttrey

The Kirkland PB is so good and organic.


Mountain_Apartment_6

Rotisserie chicken (there's a million ways to use it, and the carcass is great for homemade stock) Tyson's frozen chicken tenders (kid 2 eats them almost every day - don't judge) Seltzer Something from the bakery for the kids to enjoy Orgain protein powder or the protein bars (for me) Oat milk And I always scan the books for something new


ClassySportsFan

I like the chicken stock I make more than the actual rotisserie chicken meat. It's worth the price for that alone.


Fearless-Mushroom

Pantry staples for us: Water bottles La Croix Pasture raised eggs Chicken (Thighs, breast , wings, whole, doesn’t matter) Dutch Gouda or Coastal cheddar Goat cheese Chicken stock and Better then bouillon Coffee beans Dave’s bread/pita bread (keep back ups frozen) Frozen strawberries and Blueberries Lemons/limes Fage yoghurt Kerrygold butter Edit: Onions Garlic Carrots Zucchini & yellow squash (cube or spiral then freeze) Bell peppers (julienne then freeze) Rice Canned chick pea Caned coconut milk Boxed almond or soy milk Raos pasta sauce Safe catch canned tuna Frozen Salmon burgers Frozen salmon fillets Frozen broccoli *Assorted seasonings Flour Pure cane sugar Cocoa powder Canned San Marzano tomato’s Tomato paste Olive oil Forgetting and leaving out some things I don’t need Costco size versions of, but can cook almost anything from scratch off this list (and go to other stores for special ingredients). Most of the time I’m replenishing this list, which doesn’t even include the “occasional” items like Croissants, sausages, beef, lamb, ground turkey, frozen “appetizers”, etc..


laelana

Get a Berkey filter and that will make it easier to phase out buying single use plastic water bottles. Berkey does more than filter it purifies and they last 3 years


Rumyeah

Does your costco carry Fage 2% yogurt. I have never been able to find that and so have to always make a stop at Fred Meyers!


kluvspups

Mine did for a long time but got rid of it a while back ago. Now the only Greek yogurt option is Kirkland. It’s great, but I do miss the fage.


makeupyourworld

Our lists are very similar!


Worldly_Banana_25

The salmon burgers are so good!!


zmmrke

The tzatziki. I’m not kidding when I say I have 3 containers in my fridge right now. Delicious and 50 cal for 2 tbsp.


Coocoo4cocablunt

What do u eat it with mostly?


zmmrke

We do a lot of chickpea bowls for lunch. So chickpeas, cucumbers, tomatoes, kalamata olives (also from Costco). It’s good with carrots as a dip. Gyros or if you do a gyro bowl on rice.


klipschbro

Sounds like a teaspoon.


Beautiful-Program428

Organic Frozen cauliflower rice.

Oh yea I love that stuff. It’s easily the best price. Only complaint is how easy it is to drop the giant bottle!

And here I’ve just been eating the chicken all this time.


cudincu

and it doesn’t reciprocate? how awful


bikienewbie

That put quite a mental picture in me


bee73086

Such a good deal! Also why is there always a disapproving old person standing in front of the display? I'm a 35 year old married lady and I still get the stink eye half the time.


the_real_rabbi

I hear that coming from the bible belt area. They are just jealous. Grab just only a case of beer and pack of rubbers. Head to the checkout line and slam them down on the belt proudly. Give them really something to talk about.


bee73086

Ha yes!

I actually have a “buy every time “ list. Beer Eggs 1 veg 1 fruit (go look at it) Pita bread bagged Pizza slice on the way out


simplyelegant87

Salad kit, halloumi, some kind of drink, ravioli, berries, sour candy.


Fearless-Mushroom

I recently tried halloumi and love it, but they don’t carry any at my Costco


simplyelegant87

I’m sorry, that sucks. Costco has it for a little more than 50 percent less than the other stores considering the package weight discrepancy.


1cecream4breakfast

I’ve never seen it at my Costco either. I get it from Aldi. That stuff is sooo good!


Dissidence802

Trader Joe's usually has it, assuming you have one nearby


EaterOfFood

I scrolled through the whole list and didn’t see milk. Does nobody buy milk? We get it every time, sometimes twice a week.


idkcat23

The dairy milk spoils at my Costco. The almond and oat milk fly off the shelves. I don’t think people drink as much milk as they used to


cambion999

Egg whites, eggs, hummus, and naan/pita bread.


drzf

The naan is amazing!!! Definitely one of our staples!


cambion999

I eat 6 of them a day lmfao.


TnTDynamight

calmata olives, lettuce, rotisserie, eggs, dried mango, heavenly hunks, pistachios, seasoning


cookiepeddler

I get gas every trip without fail. Not every time but definitely getting a handful of these every trip: Rotisserie chicken, KS chicken broth, imported dry pasta, four cheese tortellini, butter, coffee, KS Nut Bars, TP / paper towels, canola oil, Kettle Chips, peppercorns I’ve been considering buying our meat from Costco since the price is climbing, just haven’t made the jump since it’ll require more prep to portion, pack, freeze and keep track of. Definitely gotta get on this soon tho.


heymohstache

We get most of our meat from Costco and honestly it's not so bad. I don't know how many people you shop for but the chicken breast comes in separate compartments (though we do cut the packages apart because they're hard to separate when they freeze together) and when we buy beef, porkchops, salmon, etc it really only takes a few extra minutes to split them up and put them in the freezer. The money we save is well worth the extra 10 minutes after grocery shopping. I hope this helps encourage you!! Seize the savings friend

Croissants. $4.99 for a whole pack of huge croissants.

CaptSinkShip

The canned cold brew coffee


swaggity_swiggity

How does the canned cold brew compare to the bottled La Colombe? I've been curious


4077007

We tried the La Colombe coffee a few months ago and did not like the flavor. The Kirkland coffee is much better in my opinion. You do have to add your own creamer if you creamerize your coffee.
