Going tomorrow to stock up on a few bits (we are a family of 6, eat a LOT)
What are your best buys?

Bin bags, they’re really good.
We get loads of health food stuff from there like coconut sugar etc
Always get a sis elf salmon and portion it up and freeze. DH reckons it’s some tasty salmon (I don’t eat it).

orchidsonabudget · 21/09/2020 17:14

Bin bags is a good call

Duracel plus 9v batteries and donate them to your local hospice.

Frozen chicken nuggets, expensive but actually contain chicken breast. Also frozen beef burgers in a tall stack, really tasty. Unless of course you don't eat meat!

Every single one of the “ready meals” that they prepare in store which we’ve tried have been delicious. Lovely salads made with pulses and quinoa etc, good for grown up lunchboxes for work.

Also, big bag of onions from the fruit and veg section, last me around 6 weeks usually, if not longer.

Costco loo roll saved me during lockdown.

Apothic red wine is really nice.

Love the big tub of little cinnamon swirls that they do.

Only use their long life milk now, means there’s always milk in the house and it lasts ages.

Nature valley bars.

Big bags of yummy crisps.

I just love Costco.
