| - I friggin' heart costco. My husband and I make a pilgrimage here every few months to stock up on things that are considerably cheaper than at a regular store. We tend to leave somewhat flustered, and about $200-$300 poorer, but we get in, get what we need, and haul out back to civilization*.
Here are things we've scored good deals on/Costco essentials:
1) Produce - it's cheap. It's not local, but it's cheap. Berries and asparagus are always a great deal and easy to consume. If I buy other fruit here I have to make a fruit-eating-plan so that it doesn't go bad.
2) Cereal - they have all kinds, including organic.
3) Recycled toilet paper (not from trees) - hard to find space in our apartment for dozens of rolls of toilet paper, but, considerably cheaper here and worth the challenge!
4) Kirkland faux uggs - they are the BEST! $40 to keep your tootsies cozy and warm, without the guilt of stepping into slush and realizing that you've ruined your $300 ugly boots! Mine lasted about 2 seasons so it's a steal.
5) Socks and underwear - especially men's undershirts.
6) Cheese. It's the cheapest way for me to make my vegetarian lasagna.
7) Cans of diced tomatoes. Pretty much goes into every recipe.
8) Bedding and towels - they have some great selection (I bought two Egyptian cotton beach towels there last time for $15 a pop!)
9) Kitchen stuff - aside from having some really cute things for the house, they have a plethora of high quality stuff for a good price - we replaced all of our bake wear with this fancy high-end technology for $23!
10) Pregnancy tests - 3 for $15! (probably more effective than the dollar store ones)
11) Sonic Care toothbrushes and toothbrush heads - the heads are three for the price of two!
12) ECOS laundry detergent - it's a natural detergent and $18 for over a hundred loads.
13) Frozen Edamame - they come in individual packets, just toss it in the microwave.
14) Frozen vegetarian pizza - much cheaper than buying single packages, this one comes in a pack of 3.
15) Non-organic Libertine Yogurt
There are about a million other things, but now you've had a (slightly awkward) window into our shopping list. Worth going if you have a car and a need for copious amounts of stuff!
*To be fair, I spent most of my life being only a hop, skip, and a jump from a number of Costco's - but now as a city dweller I feel as if I should make as many sarcastic remarks where permitted.
btw - they do NOT take credit cards other than amex~
