16 Things You Should Buy at Costco

September 26, 2019 by jlpenner 1 Comment

I am a huge fan of Costco. We buy our electronics and appliances there, we bought a garage door from them, and refinanced our home loan through them. They rock! However, I don’t actually buy a lot of groceries there. Their food prices are on the low side of average, and the portions are just too big for us to use and store in the cupboard. But there are a few exceptions. Here are the groceries and household items that are wonderful bargains there:

  • Milk
  • Butter
  • Eggs
  • Canned diced tomatoes
  • Canned tomato paste
  • Canned chicken broth
  • Olive oil
  • Bottled minced garlic
  • Bottled water
  • Dog & cat food (Kirkland brand)
  • Cat litter
  • Paper towels and toilet paper
  • Aluminum foil and plastic wrap
  • Freezer bags
  • Trash bags
  • Laundry detergent

Of course, you have to buy a large portion of these items as well, but we seem to be able to get through these easily before they go bad, and these are items that are not frequently on sale at the grocery store.

Right now in my area (Southern California), Costco has issued coupons for many of the above items, making them spectacular deals. Grab this opportunity to stock up, or watch for a similar opportunity in your area!

    Another plus of Costco is the competitive prices they have on medications. The best part though is you do not have to be a member to use the pharmacy.
