| - I can't believe I haven't reviewed this Costco - I LOVE the Costco! Who doesn't need a 5 gallon tub of cream cheese? I couldn't get through a weekend without that and 50 bagels... it's what keeps my motor running!
Seriously.... their bagels are good. And though you do have to buy 12, they freeze great too. I buy bagels, english muffins and bread here at a big savings from the local grocery store (unless HT is running a sale...), so I buy and freeze.
The bakery department is great - the 3-flavor cookie pack of chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin and white chocolate macadamia nut are always fresh and good. When I bring those back to the office, I am the favorite for the day. The small brownie bites are great, frosted sugar cookies are yum, cakes are HUGE and have a layer of filling in the middle (double sugar buzz!) and the muffins are giant and tasty (they also freeze well).
I get a craving for flank steak every once in a while and they have great meat. I marinate it and then get a block of the gorgonzola cheese that they have in the cheese section and either just melt that right on top of it, or make a gogon-butter. I have also bought a ham from there that turned out great.
Their pre-made meals - specifically the shepherd's pie if you can catch that - are very good as well. Much easier than slaving over the stove when I get home. They carry Babybel cheese (reg and light) at a fraction of what it costs at the grocery store - same deal with the original flavor of Laughing Cow. The pizzas are HUGE - I took a take and bake home (less than $10, I think) and it was too big to fit in my oven (which reminds me of a story about an ex-boyfriend... *cough*).
Anywhoozlebees!
New mats for my kitchen - $7. A gorgeous set of lamps that were $100/apiece at Target are $70 for a pair (great things come in pairs, no?). Metal shelving rack that was $50 at Home Depot, $30 at Costco. I could go on and on and on (and generally do).
Fuel is also usually $.10 cheaper than the surrounding filling stations.
If you need photos printed (I needed a 16 x 20 mounted), they can take care of that either in-store or via the handy dandy website. The 16 x 20 turned out awesome and was available shortly after I ordered it for pick-up.
As with all warehouse stores, sometimes your favorite things disappear, but that's okay, there is more to explore or it will be back! I love March because corned beefs start showing up and I have a dirty love for corned beef and cabbage. YAY COSTCO!!!
