Years ago I was given a Costco membership and let me tell you, I never went back to Sams Club. My bargain hunter heart knows which things are cheaper at Aldi, SuperTarget or Costco so I don’t let myself get sucked into things just because they look like a good deal. I have seen it and know that it’s easy to just fill the cart with impulse buys. Anyway, I thought I would do this blog post just for fun of things I really LOVE at Costco.
- The 3.5 pound pumpkin pie for $5.99. Seriously, this is good pumpkin pie and you can feed an army with it (or just me with a can of whipped cream).
- The children’s books!! If you still need Christmas gifts for kids they are having amazing deals right now. The Roald Dahl collection for $25. The top 8 Sandra Boynton board books for $16. The Beatrix Potter collection for $25. It’s a splurge, but they have the entire Nancy Drew hardback collection for $200!! (I still have mine which my Grammie spent years buying me). I could go on and on, but you get the idea.
- Kirkland Brand Acetaminophen, Ibuprofen Capsules, allergy meds and children’s pain reliever. You can’t beat the price anywhere.
- Turkey bacon, yogurt and lunch meat.
- Frozen Chicken breasts. (I can’t have MSG and have to make all our chicken meals from scratch)
- They have lots of “good” prepared frozen foods. Good as in made with healthy ingredients and easy to prepare.
- Spices.
- Glasses and contacts.
- At Christmas time – The Torta. Cream Cheese, Pesto and Sun dried tomato. I am so hooked on this that it’s practically my holiday season kickoff when I see it in the store.
And sometimes they just have random useful stuff at amazing prices. Like the mats we have in our kitchen in front of the sink and the island. They are so comfortable to stand on while I am doing the dishes, baking or chopping veggies. Or name brand tennis shoes for more than 50% off.
If you go to Costco, what’s your favorite thing OR best deal you have found?
