There are almost too many items to list, but voilà: A comprehensive list of your all-time Costco favs.
Bacon
Costco’s Kirkland Signature brand is the way to go here. You get so much delicious bacon. For so little money! Good, cheap bacon! Why else are we on this planet??
Bacon Crumbles
Sure, that bacon we just talked about is great, but these it-takes-no-effort-to-put-real-bacon-on-ANYTHING bacon crumbles…
Pre-Cooked Bacon
Basically, if you’re not buying all your bacon-related products at Costco, it might be time to reevaluate your pork-related choices.
Sheet Cake
If you don’t have a friend who secretly served Costco sheet cake at her wedding, you probably need new friends.
93-inch plush bear
Do I really have to explain why a practically 8-foot teddy bear has become an all-time (seasonal) Costco fav?
Coffee
Any place that sells a million delicious coffee bean varieties in gigantic quantities is A-OK, if you ask me.
Rotisserie Chicken
Costco’s rotisserie chickens are famously large, cheap, and delicious. Whether they’re healthy or not is another story, but…probably no one cares.
Rotisserie Chicken Meat
Like the famous rotisserie chicken without the annoying bones and stuff.
Vanilla Extract
Sure, it might seem like a lot of vanilla extract, but considering there’s enough to last you a million years, it’s worth it.
Baked Goods
Do you even know joy until you let yourself get lost in the bakery section of a Costco? I think not.
A Mortgage
Yeah, so on top of everything else, you can re-finance your home at Costco. That’s proven handy for some over the years.
Dark Chocolate Potato Chips
Specifically, Sanders Dark Chocolate Potato Chips With Himalayan Pink Sea Salt.
Pre-Made Skillet Mac
Heaven exists and it is this minimal effort, totally reusable Costco skillet mac and cheese.
Basil Pesto
People rave about this monster vat of imported pesto. Can you blame them?
Pizza
OK, yes, they have a fantastic frozen pizza selection, but anyone who’s not a Costco noob knows the food court pizza is where it’s at.
The $1.50 Hot Dog And Soda Special
If you know, you know.
Makeup Wipes
Not only do they come out to nine cents per wipe, they’re also pretty damn good.
Dried Mango
There are so many options! All of them delicious! All of them wildly cheap in bulk! All of them worth exploring!
Vodka
Costco sells an American Kirkland Signature vodka, as well as a French one. But, again, you knew that, didn’t you? You lil Costco genius, you.
Brownie Brittle
You’ve gotta hunt for it, but it’s there. Oooooh, is it there.
Peanut Butter-Filled Pretzel Nuggets
Any good co-worker knows an office with a giant vat of peanut butter pretzels nugs is just a happier working environment.
Leggings
Once you’ve bought $10 leggings, there is simply no going back.
Bake-At-Home Sourdough
Bread…made easy? We are not worthy.
Frozen Chicken
A wholesale amateur might look at this and think “how on earth will I use that many frozen chicken breasts?” A Costco expert looks at the same bag and only sees opportunity.
Nuts
Pretty much any vat of nuts you pick up at Costco is going to be cost-effective and great, but how’s this for a pretty option!?
Parmigiano Reggiano
Alright, fine, you’re probably not going to buy the whole, gigantic wheel of Costco parm, but the knowledge you could if you wanted to is still comforting, no?
Brie
A more realistic cheese-bulk-buying option, and equally delicious. Brieeeeeee.
Salmon With Pesto Butter
Another one of those “if you know, you know”-type deals.
Dog Food
Only the best ever for pups.
Açai Bowls
Those who aren’t frequent Costco-goers might not know about this fairly new addition to the food court, but it’s there and it’s delightful.
Canned Salmon
It’s just so easy and delicious.
Pumpkin Pie
There’s a reason you come back for it year after year.
