If you eat canned tuna, I find the Kirkland albacore tuna to be very good. It's better quality than any canned tuna I've had. I also like the Kirkland natural peanut butter. Those are among my regular purchases that I think are reasonably healthy.

The prime grade steaks (filet or strip) are a good deal compared to Central Market/Whole foods prices. The Kirkland rack of lamb chops is also very good.

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.

Have you looked into the app called Bobby Approved? He also has YouTube's on his day at Costco. Helps me stay away from items that pretend to be healthy.

My Bf found that app…it's terrible. That guy has no background in nutrition, or any type of science that would make him remotely qualified to identify what is healthy or not.

Among other ingredients, his app flags things that contain dairy (which is not unhealthy) and even questions plain Greek yogurt.

He criticizes foods that don't explicitly say "non-GMO" when a GMO version doesn't even exist.

He's the male version of Food Babe, and she's awful, too.

Lmao you're funny!

Just because something has dairy in it, it's healthy? If you see dairy on the label and automatically think it's healthy. I don't know what to tell you young lady. To each their own. Watch his video and he explains his reasoning and what goes into the app.

That's not what she said at all.

"His app flags things that contain dairy". Her quote.
And he doesn't bash Greek yogurt, he points out alternative yogurts that don't contain as much sugar or contain inflammatory oils.

Edit: I don't have a vested interest in that guy. But his app or approach can not be dismissed as gibberish.

Your reading comprehension is terrible.

He flags things as being unhealthy simply because they contain dairy. There is nothing inherently unhealthy about dairy. There is no reason to demonize it.

And I specifically said PLAIN Greek yogurt. Plain as in no added sugars (or oils, although, I've never seen oil as an ingredient in any yogurt I buy). His app flags Greek yogurt and implies it's not "safe" or "healthy".

That app is for the most part fear-mongering pseudo-science. Mostly because there is no such thing as an "unsafe" or "unhealthy" food. Some foods are healthier than others, but most anything at the grocery can be part of a healthy diet, even "junk" food, if consumed in moderation.

*You're

Bobby app is good for sugar and gmo content.

His ads have taught me the unhealthy stuff to be on the lookout for.

Now I can figure it out for my self.

We do enjoy Costco.
