What’s on your Costco shopping list?

[NappingThroughTheChaos]

My husband has just signed us up for a Costco card, so we’re heading there this weekend for our first Costco trip as a family (Im very excited!!)

I’m pulling a shopping list of things to look out for and wondered what are your must-buys / favourites so we don’t come home with a kayak and 48 croissants?! 🤣

Current non-negotiables: Skippy peanut butter (husband) and gyozas (my son).

Just crop out identifying details. 😊

Love a visit to Costco but only go every 2-3 months as we can’t seem to spend less than £400!

Levis and other clothes
Toilet roll (Kirkland triple satin)- lasts about 10 times longer than any other toilet roll
Kitchen roll
Washing powder
Clingfilm, tinfoil and baking paper
Chicken breasts
Halloumi
Tins of tuna and chopped tomatoes
Pesto (3 big jars in a pack)
Franks hot sauce
Caster sugar, icing sugar, vanilla extract and chocolate chips
Frozen chicken tenders, prawns, gyoza and mozzarella sticks
Fresh food to go/heat: chicken tacos, enchiladas, rotisserie chicken and wings
Nespresso pods
Cans of Diet Coke (but only if on offer)
Spray oil
Potato scones
Wine (whatever is on offer)
Christmas wrapping paper (huge double sided rolls that last for years)

Mine is still upset many years later that they replaced the red fruit smoothie with mango. Every time he goes (he's an adult now with his own card), he lives in hope. We even visited 2 in the US just in case!

Are you in Scotland? I've never seen potato scones in ours, but we do have sliced sausage!

I wish they’d bring back the large apple pies. They were a staple at our family get-togethers.

Many thanks to the OP!!
Thanks to this thread I joined and went today for the first time-love it!!

Gourmet sauce is amazing

Not that anyone needs this much pistachio spread ($23) or chocolate ($34.99) ... 😋

Their selection of children's books are always good. I have bought women's fleece jackets from there too.
I try to avoid the pastry's and cakes that is fatal!

I also love looking around at their non foods and occasionally bought stuff.
You do need plenty of storage though. We keep tins and cans in the garage. Kitchen rolls and tissues above the cupboards in the utility room. The toilet rolls are stored in a cupboard on the landing. Meat is put in separate freezer bags and frozen.

I bought some Korean skincare for DD today -not a random buy , I saw it online and searched it up and the price .

DD was impressed , with the price in Costco compared to other sites .
Sometimes there is nothing of interest though .

Nando's gift cards, worth £100 (5*£20) you pay £84. I also like Kirkland tissues. DH likes their shelled pistachios. Beware the prices, as the bold large ones don't include VAT, thats in smaller print on the label
