just got a membership. Its a little overwhelming. Can yall let me know your best purchses from there? Healthy buys appreciated!

the best one I found so far are the Kirklands brand of the Starbucks Sous Vide egg bites. They are incredible for a breakfast on the go.

I got a great deal on a Beast blender there about a year ago. Not sure if other stores offer a similar deal.

They also have a sous vide grass fed beef sirloin that is very good. The only place I've seen a similar product is Trader Joe's (and their portion is smaller). I'm high-protein, so having that pre-cooked is very handy in a pinch.

The Zwilling hand-held vacuum sealer and the accompanying bags/containers is fantastic for storing fruit. It keeps berries fresh and prevents molding for SO much longer.

I did not get mine at Costco, but I think they have a great starter kit.

One of my kids eats a grain/lactose/starch/soy/emulsifier-free diet for IBD, so I buy several things at Costco on a regular basis.

Canned tuna
Canned salmon
Frozen fruit (mango, strawberry, mixed berry, cherry)
Jones Dairy Farm no sugar chicken sausage (frozen, fully cooked)
Chomps sticks
Archer Farms meat sticks
Honey
Spindrift when they have it
Kirkland guacamole packets
Grillo's pickles (no polysorbate, sugar, flavors or colors)
That's It fruit bars
Fresh fruit - when they have stone fruit, it's the best
Dried figs
Dried mango

Other people in my household eat:
Siete tortilla chips (grain-free)
Kettle potato chips (no soy or corn oil)
2 pack of Canyon Bakehouse gluten free bread
Black Forest gummy bears

in the freezer section - Blackened grilled chicken strips

I've also gotten some great casual business pants recently

Our family destroys the Kirkland protein bars. I gotten the Gold brand of protein. Seems good.

I get those often as well, the one with brownie and chocolate chip is solid. My only issue is they are very inconsistent in flavor. Every box seems to taste different from the previous.

with my sweet tooth these help a ton.

A Costco moved in less than a mile from my house a couple years ago. We have our Costco runs down to a science.
It's easy to get distracted by all they offer, even the "healthy" stuff adds up quickly. I have a house full of boys for kids and learned real quick that stuff is devoured quickly and never felt like it was super worth it.

If I'm on my game in terms of good healthy decisions and value buys at Costco it really boils down to a couple things.

1. Get a vacuum sealer. Buying meat in bulk is key. Getting it separated and stored is a must and easy to do with a vacuum sealer

2. Buy your protein (meat) in bulk. Every time I go I'm buying ground beef, steaks, chicken and turkey of some type. Then if needed, mostly on the beef, I use my sealer and separate out the bulk packaging into smaller units. I know about how many pounds it takes to feed my family so I separate it into that amount. Then I just freeze it until I need it.

2. Fruits. There are 3 or 4 fruits my kids eat well. I buy a lot. We go through most of it. At times we waste it but u still think it's worth it.

3. Eggs. I eat eggs most every morning. I stock up every time I go.


4. Household needs. Paper towels, toilet paper, bottled water etc.


After this, a few of those "healthy" snacks always make it in my cart. Chomps beef sticks, some mediocre protein bar does seem to be the latest trend. I mostly do this to keep the peace. The are gone quickly so like i said, never feel like I get my moneys worth.

Hot Dog after checkout.

Bring your own tote bags

Agree with the tuna. Also coffee.

As said, be careful. We go for a few things and $800 later we are out of there

We buy the fairlife five at a time!

Please don't follow anything that guy says. He's constantly flip flopping on what he says and is wildly inconsistent. It's garbage advice and he has no clue what he's talking about.

Good to know. Someone recently sent me that video and I thought a few of the things he listed looked like good healthy options, but I'm certainly not aware of him or anything he's said in the past.

Recently I grabbed a box of these but won't buy another because they're too delicious. They taste like a chocolate-covered marshmellow. Buyer beware if you see this box at Costco.
