Just recently started purchasing frozen garlic butter shrimp. Delicious with pasta. Easy peasy to cook up for dinner.

Kirkland frozen salmon (without the skin) and kirkland frozen tilapia loins

phillips crab cakes. The crab cakes must be made per costco's specifications. The same exact brand of crab cakes at sam's does not have nearly as much large lump crab in them.

Soft soap brand hand cleanser has lotion in it. I don't see that anywhere else.

Kirkland pecorino romano cheese. This is the best grating cheese i have ever tasted and i'm 100% italian. So easy to to cut shavings for a caesar salad. Yum!

Kirkland sonoma county chardonnay (750 ml. Don't care for the chardonnay in the larger bottle). The wine is really good and i serve it to guests all the time and get raves about it.

Kirkland olive oil

shrimp cocktail is excellent quality and the shrimp are large! And.......the shrimp don't look like they are machine made.

Large container of sunsweet prunes. Great price for the quantity.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. There is plenty more we purchase at costco. So glad we finally have one in our neighborhood.

tower isles beef patties? Used to go to the plant itself on Atlantic Ave in Brooklyn ny. They sold them half price by the case.

Costco has a good selection of frozen, organic fruit I use for smoothies and baking.
The salmon burgers are also great - I use my air fryer and they go from frozen to ready to eat in 14 minutes.
Costco is also really good for vitamins and CoQ-10 - all Kirkland brand.
I also buy my bagels from Costco.

Heh. True.

I recall when we first moved here: I was at publix buying a few things and had purchased one of their twofers--Pepsi in the large bottles, I think. I remember commenting to the checker that "that pop is pretty good deal".

The checker looked at me and grinned. "You're from the north, aren't you"?

I haven't really heard the generic "coke" for any soft drink around here, except at Cracker Barrel a few times.

Nothing, yet...

What are your favorite items to buy there?
Thanks for any input.

I was hoping to find the Tortilla Crusted Tilapia but they didn’t have it. It might be seasonal. I sure hope it comes back. It’s amazing and not terrible in calories. I hate fish but my sister recommended this to me as something I might like and she was right!

Pumpkin pie when in season
Chicken
Tp
Paper towels
Romaine lettuce . Theirs lasts longer
Wine .. love the Malbec and boxed
Pizza
Chicken soup in case
Trout
Mixed nuts
Batteries
Electronics often have an extra year warranty
Induction range, Lg washer/ dryer are amazing when you catch a sale
Clothing, bedding, area rugs
Many items sell out, but you may be able to get them online. If you have any problems, call customer service. They are patient and usually get things done quickly for you.
If you are on the line about a membership, have a member buy you a $25 Costco gift card. The card gets you into the store, you can shop leisurely, and when you pay, just turn in the card and pay the excess. A few big ticket items may not be available to you, but you will feel like a member for a day.

As soon as I read the original comment, I scrolled back up to see who wrote it ... to see if they had lived in CA. I'm from CA originally.

I actually discussed this with someone just a few days ago again the whole thing out there when the waitress says, "Would you like a coke?" And the reply, "Yeah, sure. I'll have a Pepsi."

Too funny. Don't know why that's a thing, or was when I was a kid. Definitely a regional thing. Didn't know they did that in the South, too.

We've been Costco members for a long time. Went to the new one yesterday to check it out, even though we didn't really have anything on our "standard" shopping list. Two of the treasures we walked away with: A package of 6 rib eye steaks, each about 9 ounces, that were an in-store special for $15 off. Six nice looking steaks for $45. Also grabbed a few bottles of Bordeaux that were a very good buy...a 2022 St. Emilion Grand Cru at $15.99 each. I see a few very nice dinners in our future.

I eat a lot of fish/seafood. For me it's the Kirkland frozen talapia and red tail shrimp. The talapia is sourced from ACS certified farms, which is the highest rating you can get so you know it is good quality. The red tail shrimp is some of the best I have ever eaten.

Kirkland organic salsa (probably the best store-bought salsa anywhere)
Kirkland large peanuts
Kirkland's organic chicken beasts. Yesterday, the organic chicken was $5 off per package.
Graza or Kirkland extra-virgin olive oil
Artesian Romain lettuce
Kirkland toilet paper, Kleenexes, and paper towels.
Dave's white bread done right
Isopure protein powder

I've eaten the frozen salmon patties before, which are pretty good. This time I'm trying the Kirkland frozen sockeye salmon.

I used to buy their two pack of chocolate and blueberry muffins and their blueberry lemon bread, both which are amazing, but I stopped buying them because I am cut that kind of stuff from my diet.

Hearing aids and eye glasses. Both are great deals and quality.

Food wise, meat quality is fabulous. Never disappointed. Buy a lot of frozen stir fry vegetables, coffee, cases of their chopped tomatoes

Couldn't that create confusion if you ordered a coke in a restaurant (although you wanted Pepsi)?

Most restaurants have either a Coke product or a Pepsi product but not both and when you order a Coke in a Pepsi house, they usually ask “is Pepsi alright?”

I am nothing if not a product of So Cal and the South. So, yes, every soft drink is a coke. If they ask if Pepsi is okay, I will usually say, "No" and opt for a Pepsi-product - usually Mountain Dew (Originated with Moon shiners in Knoxville, TN).

As for the meat at Costco, I only know this: I worked with a guy - a very serious and solid guy. His father-in-law was a meat purveyor. He told me that there are true differences in meat, Prime vs. Choice, 5-star vs 1-star, etc. He told me 5-star meat goes to white-linen table cloth dining establishments. 4-star goes to less so. 3-star goes to chains like Chili's and Applebee's and most grocery stores. 2-star goes to discount grocery stores (like Food4Less). 1-star goes to prisons and institutional customers. Then he said to me, "Do you know who else gets 5-star meat?" He then told me it was Costco that also got 5-star meat.

In my experience, it is very high quality. I also have been going to Costco since it was a Price Club (before it was Price-Costco).
