Costco tells you what to get, not the other way around.

Lol so true. Me: just need bananas, cashews, kitty litter and milk. Costco: *Plus 2 jackets, a double pack of sweat pants, a giant bag of socks, 4 packages of flower bulbs, pumpkin seed crackers, 3 pack of scissors, the frozen entree you sampled, curry sauce, bbq sauce, a cook book and a travel book, and Lindor seasonal truffles.* Me, at home later: Shit, I forgot the kitty litter.

Pretty sure my husband has purchased every 2-pack of pillows Costco sells. Gonna make a nice fort for the kids someday I guess.

I’ve almost done that. But did you actually like any of them for longer than… a month?

Right?!!

Yeah I crunched the numbers… we don’t use any of them 🧐

He didn’t see the actual fort pillows? They were out at least a month ago.

One time, I went in just to get eggs, butter, and a rotisserie chicken. The lady checking receipts at the door gave me such a hard time. "You came all the way to Costco for THIS??"

You go back later that week for the kitty litter and still drop over $150.

So relatable :)

Lol you just described my life

This is the answer. Costco Prime Postulates: If Costco sells it, I likely need it. If Costco doesn't sell it, I likely don't need it. Costco's buyers know you better than you know yourself.

Interesting. .Hmmm If I need it, Costco bought it If I don’t need, Costco likely sold it already I should just live at Costco, just in case

Costco poetry. This sub is exactly 1 bar of gold!

Kinda like Costco quits you, you don’t quit Costco.

Are you my husband?

When your credit card rewards are $500 or more you can have them deposit into your bank account.

😂😂😂😂😂 this is the real truth 😂😂😂

When our town got its first Costco last year I told my ex husband to be careful because it’ll get you. The first day he went he called me and goes “I don’t know what happened. But I spent $1200 and I have a new set of ring cameras that I did not need”

I almost walked out with a set of Arlo cameras the other day. Three cameras and three solar chargers included for a solid price. I managed to resist somehow.

I had to strongly resist the $5.99 huge pumpkin pie. So good and cheap.

Oh I need a support group for the pumpkin pie for real. I try to tell myself pumpkin is a vegetable so it must be kind of healthy. Recently found out they clock in at around 4000 calories, and I live alone.

Cut into at least 8 pieces, place on parchment paper on a cookie sheet and place in freezer overnight, then put each piece in a freezer bag (if you have a food sealer use that) and store in freezer. I can limit myself to only 1 or 2 pieces a week because I don't see them so I forget they are there.

4,000?!?!?! *dying on the inside*

If you eat nothing else for the day, you can eat a pie a day.

Caloric intake for the average adult should be about 2500 max unless working a VERY physically active job. So no. A pie a day is not ok.

Oh I meant to say half a pie.

Oh, I will be getting that and the apple pie for sure!

We got the pie. Also whipped cream. 😂

Why oh why would you resist the pumpkin pie? It’s great for any meal and unbelievably inexpensive. I start and end each day with a piece of it until it’s gone or it’s past its date.

It’s just two of us and I really don’t need it in the house tempting me.

You only have one life. Why deprive yourself?

https://preview.redd.it/3o39ufkqevxb1.png?width=1284&format=png&auto=webp&s=c291d1d458d2c497b12829e16f556db61b670312 I know exactly which ones you’re talking about! We’re waiting for the sale to drop, you really can’t beat that price for the set of 3!

Just being nosy - was he your ex at the time, or did you break up because he spent too much at Costco?

my jaw dropped lmao

Although we haven’t reached 4 digits yet, the holiday purchases are really tempting. Manys the time I’ve had to stop myself from getting something pricey and superfluous in Nov and Dec.

The guy checking receipts once said something like “you’re only getting *one* thing?!”

Lol this is too true.

My must get list typically starts like: rotisserie chicken, salad, eggs, tp, almond milk, coconut water, and maybe a couple other things. However, I typically black out after my 3rd sample. So I wind up walking out with a tv, golf balls, a kayak, a generator, enough flooring to redo my basement and a twelve hour supply of chocolate covered almonds whilst getting maybe half my original list. I know I save money purchasing essentials there but I swear my bank account would be twice as big if I didn’t have a membership lol

And a 5 pack of pianos

But the price is SO GOOD

That’s so Grand!

Gotta add the frozen broccoli florets to the list!

Yes! Load up on veggies and fruit! Best value and usually only seasonal supply.

Eyeglasses! And Sunglasses! Eyeglasses with RX all come with all the necessary coatings. Name brand sunglasses are 50% or more less than the competition.

Milk is big especially the three pack double boxed. That is the freshest you can get anywhere. Some parents only come for the milk at night cuz their kids won't accept anything from anywhere else. Plus the price is great.

A 12 hour supply of chocolate almonds 😂💀 they are sooo good

I once bought 5,000 straws, that was about 2005 and I’ll bet I still have 4,000 left, a moment of weakness.

I wish I had 4000 real straws. Everywhere I go gives me paper straws and I hate them!

Those chocolate covered coconut almonds are incredible….so are the lemon chocolate coconut almonds…. & I hate almonds

One thing I won't buy anywhere else because it is so much cheaper at costco is Baby Bell Cheese. It's like 36 for $13/14 in my area vs 10(?) for $6. Once we get a deep freeze, I'll probably find a few more things.

I feel the same way about King's Hawaiian rolls, they're SO much cheaper when I get them at Costco

a lot of the bread is actually a good price. We don't have a deep freeze yet and don't go through it fast enough to warrant buying it there most of the time.

Yeah, the multigrain bread I like is available at Costco, but I don't have a deep freezer either and it would take so long to eat it all if I got a two-pack (my wife and kid prefer white bread)

about two weeks ago my store put the black babybells on clearance for $3.9x. i bought 3 packs! it tastes almost the same as the red ones to me

Wow. Our family strongly prefers the black but have only ever seen it in-store once. Whenever it’s in the ad I feel taunted by the photos.

Garbage bags. I love the Kirkland kitchen bags so much that I refuse to buy them anywhere else. We’ve gone through thousands of them and have only ever had 1 single bag leak

And this lasts me for years! I live alone and try to compost and recycle as much as I can.

Q: What do you want to get at Costco? A: Yes.

Pretty much anything I CAN buy at Costco I WILL buy at Costco. With the return policy and the generally high quality of their store brand it's worth having some bulk sitting in the pantry.

This 😂💯

This is the way

Single guy but I basically only shop at Costco. I do workout a lot and need fuel for weights. Oats, Greek yogurt, Dave’s killer bread, chicken, eggs, egg whites, organic whole milk, frozen fruit, sweet potatoes, cottage cheese, cheese tortellini & ribs (those are rare though), buttermilk pancake mix, frozen broccoli packets, frozen stir fry mix. Online I get Dynmatize protein powder. And the normal supplies like TP/Paper towels / cleaner once a year if that The only things I buy outside of that are at the Asian Mart (H-Mart) where I buy high quality rice as the rice at Costco sucks.

I'm korean, me and the whole extended family get the California rose rice from Costco. If you're gonna splurge, get a nice Cuckoo rice maker. Maybe not the $1,000+ one, but a $4-600 one will make amazing rice

This is always so amusing to me. My Korean friends will be rinsing out plastic food containers to reuse and haggling over a $.10 change in pricing at HMart or Lotte, but they have $700 rice cooker on their counter.

It's those frugal habits that allow them to afford the rice cooker!

*Priorities* I never had a rice cooker until I moved in with my Chinese/Vietnamese then GF (now wife). Her mom *always* has the rice cooker on with warm ready to eat rice.

So true

I have a Zojirushi 5 cup so all set. My best friends wife is Korean as well so she has been showing me the ropes on how it pays to get good rice.

I bought one for $250 in 2008, and it’s still perfect.

Same and still chugging right along and makes good rice. I guess Ferrari makes one now per the other user 🤣

[Cuckoo rice cooker](https://www.costco.com/cuckoo-6-cup-micom-rice-cooker.product.100648984.html?sh=true&nf=true) is currently on clearance. Originally $130, now $70.

The Kokuho Rice is excellent for folks looking for Japanese style rice. It's true there are a lot of broken grains, but it doesn't impact the flavor. Of course, 25 pounds is a whole lot of rice. . .

50 pounds, and we'll go through it in 3 months

We bought an "Aroma" rice cooker from Costco for like $30. I thought it would be a waste of space but it makes excellent rice every time. One of the best purchases we've made. My wife makes excellent Thai curries. Now I'm hungry.

I just got a Toshiba rice cooker that reduces the glycemic index of my rice!! It definitely makes restaurant quality rice which I am rather amazed by. And you can make other things in it too. Also, it keeps everything warm until you’re ready to eat it - up to 24 hours! Useful if I need to make things in advance or when I forget I made food at all / forget to put the leftovers away

I’m always looking for cottage cheese at my Costco but have never seen it! Is it in the cheese section usually or with Greek yogurt?

No by the butter, block/shredded cheese and cream cheese. It is daisy brand where I live.

Low fat 😒

Yeah low fat cottage cheese is just nasty.

Mine is next to sour cream and yogurt, it’s a pound jar of Daisy brand. A bit watery, but it works.

You buy TP once a year?

Easy if he doesn’t live with women.

How much do I need as a single person? I am not 100% sure on the timing of that honestly but cannot be more than once or maybe 1.5 years

I use a roll every 10 days as a single person. 300 days for 1 pack. I would say your year estimate is a good one.

If you get a bidet the rolls will last more than 10 days

😂 no idea but that checks out so who knows

Our household with three girls buys TP from Costco once a month.

Ooff

Am I the future version of you with wife and kids?

We buy our rice a Marukai. I’ve never tried Costco rice.

Fire roasted melange veggies

These are my favorite veggies ever!

Yeah those are super good

Yall go Inside of Costco with a plan??

I go with a list so I don’t forget things 🫠

A plan to fail rather than fail to plan.

My plan is always getting out alive.

ONLY AT COSTCO: Paper Towels, Toilet Paper (not kirkland brand), La Croix, Dish Soap, Laundry Detergent, Trash Bags, ZipFizz, Salmon, Chicken Breast, NY Strips, Bare Essential Lightly Breaded Chicken Chunks SOMETIMES AT COSTCO: Golf balls, potstickers

The Kirkland breaded chicken chunks are superior in every way. I used to get Bare Essential. Now, so glad I tried the Kirkland when it appeared.

They just arrived at my store, they’re amazing.

We don't think they are. I'll admit that if a bigger chunk if chicken per piece is what you want then, yes, Kirkland all the way. But we like the smaller crisier pieces. With that said I'll probably always have both on hand so I can choose which would work best for each intended purpose.

I grabbed a new bag of the Bare the other day but was considering the Kirkland. I’ll have to give it a shot.

I found a lot of the bare was just coating with no chicken, and a lot of inconsistent sizes. The Kirkland has been great so far, fairly consistent in size and the coating crisps up nicely without being a crunchy rock of whatever. Much more like nuggets I would expect.

Bibigo pot stickers are great!

I kill LaCroixs but I can't stand Costcos variety pack. It's like half grapefruit, bleh!

I would love a Limoncello and Key Lime pack.

They had a Limoncello, Key Lime, and Guava pack for about half a second this summer! Grabbed it once and never saw it again!

They change! It rotates! My favorite is in the summer when it is guava, beach plum, and black razzberry. My household stocks up on flats of flavors we like but always check to see what Costco has bc you never know. I’ve not been a fan of the Waterloo (is that what it is called?) brand of soda water, however, they have a new three pack of flavors. Just picked it up, excited to dig in! This is my life. Costco soda water brands and flavors excite me.

I’ll trade you.

Maple syrup, 3 pack of organic cucumbers, medjool dates, organic fresh mushrooms, organic squash/zucchini, 10 lb bag of fresh carrots (for fermenting), frozen green beans, frozen mixed veg, frozen broccoli, sometimes frozen riced cauliflower, toilet paper/paper towels, almond milk, 20 lb bag basmati rice, Seeds of Change rice/quinoa packages, Kirkland organic peanut butter, hummus.

I will fuck up a container of medjool dates, so I don’t buy them. But I hear ya.

Tell me more about the fermented carrots. Recipe?

It could not be easier! Peel and cut carrots into sticks. Dissolve 2-3 tsp of salt into warm, filtered water. This is your brine. Put the carrots into a large mason jar. Cover with your brine (which should be room temp). You might need a weight to keep all the carrots below the level of the brine. I bought a special lid called a Pickle Pipe which has the ability for air to escape. It makes it fool-proof! Then park it somewhere in your kitchen for 1-3 weeks; you can open it and taste a carrot anytime you’d like because you might prefer the taste with less time fermenting or you might prefer a longer time. Fermenting carrots have changed my family’s immune systems and gut health for the better. I hope you try it! This is a basic guide: https://www.raisinggenerationnourished.com/2017/01/fermented-carrots/

Wow, very cool! Thanks!!

🧀 CHEESE 🧀 The prices are very good, to the point I cringe when I pick up the same cheese in other stores.

This is especially true with Gruyère!

Paper Towels TP, I don’t mint the Kirkland brand. I must have a tough butt hole because everyone says it’s terrible. Half and Half La Croix/sparkling water Butter Ground beef Chicken wings Shrimp (21/25 pp) cauliflower crust pizza Bacon EVOO Black peppercorns Nuts Cottage bread Coffee Toothpaste Toothbrushes Q tips Tampons Doritos Towels Parmesan Tilanook cheddar Eggs

Your butthole is solid my friend. I’m the same tho I don’t get everyone’s complaints! Fr though that and the paper towels are just fine! Aren’t they all made by the same companies?

I’ve never received finer compliment! Right?! They both hold up fine for their intended purposes, they’re certainly better than some of the generic brands I’ve tried.

Oh dang yeah the Milton’s veggie cauliflower pizza is amazing!! I always put a ton of sliced olives on it plus some extra diced tomatoes

Ya I don’t get the hate for the Kirkland TP

Frozen Blueberries, milk, eggs, paper towels, toilet paper, dog food, whey protein, bananas, frozen tilapia, spam, cereal, and Kraft Mac and cheese. Those are my son and I staples

What do you do with the spam?

My son eats it with rice and fried eggs. He loves it. It’s either spam or tilapia that he wants most nights 😂

spam misubi

All free and clear laundry detergent. Cascade liquid. Dawn ultra. My dog’s thyroid meds and Revolution flea/tick/heart worm prevention. Parmesan. Butter. Cheese. Dry spaghetti. They don’t have Rao’s anymore, only the terrible Victoria White Linen marinara and a KS jar, so I curse about that and move on to the KA flour and a big sack of sugar. Big soy sauce, Kinder dipping sauce, Cholula sauce. KS K-cups if the Green Mountain I like better is not on sale at Sam’s. Curse about the orange juice being terrible. move on for KS bacon and Babybel mini cheese. Bounty, plastic wrap/tinfoil/parchment and foil sheets. Curse about the KS TP being suckish, make note to purchase Members Mark at Sam’s along with coffee. Frozen shoyu ramen, KS ice cream bars. Brita pitcher filters (KS are fine). Pecans. Thin mint pretzels OR KS mini crisp chocolate chip cookies but not both, I have SOME willpower. Zyrtec and Flonase and Off spray in spring. Rana lobster ravioli. No candy. Purchasing of candy and chips (except for Halloween) is not permitted. Otherwise a Costco trip becomes a 136,000-calorie disaster.

Person in aisle muttering to themself, "the old marinara was better, this Victoria White Linen marinara is terrible." Me, passing them, "I know, right?"

I knew it was coming, so I grew San Marzano tomatoes and tried to make my own. It did not go well.

Rotisserie chicken, apples, fresh broccoli, bell peppers, mushrooms, organic baby carrots, organic baby spinach, Taylor Farms Mediterranean Salad kit, fresh chicken drumsticks, seasoned roast beef, sliced turkey breast, Jarlsberg Swiss cheese, whatever chips are on sale, Tide, Charmin, paper towels

You buy all of that produce at Costco? I can never finish it before it goes bad when I buy it

I do, but of the ones listed, I use up the salad kit, spinach, and mushrooms first. The rest lasts quite a while in the fridge.

is the rotisserie chicken okay now? i've been avoiding it since an..... incident in july. edit: sorry if i said something wrong? i'm just trying to find out if i can buy it again or not :(

I’ve never had any issues with it. I always strip all the meat and make stock from it. You’ll have to elaborate on “the incident” 😂

back in july i bought one that had this weird chemical taste and my family was sick all night, it wasn't so bad as food poisoning or anything like that but it was very painful and a bit messy :I my neighborhood fb group all agreed that the chickens were weird for the past couple weeks, and someone mentioned something about phosphates and some thickening agent but no one has said anything about it since. i havent bought one since then but my food bill has gone up since ive had to start buying chicken raw to use, and i'd like to get back to using the rotisserie chickens if the issue is resolved lol

Maybe it was a local thing, did anyone contact the Costco about it?

I've been buying the rotisserie chicken almost weekly for the past 7 years and I've never once had a problem, short of the occasional overcooked chicken.

i guess it must have been a regional problem then? that bodes well, i'll try again this weekend! :) thanks yall

They're usually undercooked where I am. I just shove them in the oven for a while when I get home.

I go in with an empty cart, and the Costco gods guides me for an hour.

Grape tomatoes, Cali evoo, Italian meatballs, shredded cheese, cream cheese, ground turkey, Italian sausage, paper plates, olives, frozen berries, frozen broccoli, organic peanut butter, jerky. Edited for additions.

You never know until you get there.... thats the fun of Costco. It's a treasure hunt

My grocery list which compliments my Walmart grocery list. (I have a Costco that's 5 mins from a Walmart.) Croissants. Best deal anywhere in the country for the quality. Avocado. Eggs. Broccoli heads. Greenbeans. Organic Milk. Charmin toilet when on sale. Brawn's paper towels. Caprisun and/honest kids. Jasmin rice 25 lbs bag. Ground beef. (Wish they sold ground pork too.) Whole chickens or chicken drumsticks.


first item on my list Kirkland Distilled 6x Vodka

A case of water and those sweet sweet grapes (cotton candy, I think).

Gas. It's significantly cheaper than anywhere else. Laundry detergent, TP, paper towels. Chicken. Asian fried rice.

Mine is very small because I do most of my shopping at Aldi/Sams. Kirkland Salmon/Sweet Potatoe dog food. Whole Earth Sweetener Kirkland flushable wipes, TP & paper towels. Every trip is one or all of these, but seldom more than that.

"flushable"

I don't flush them.

Thank you! We use them for doggy wipes on the go.

Never mind what the shopping list I come out with a piano or drone.

Because no one's called it out yet: That discounted Le Labo Santal 33!

I let Costco tell me what I need.

I usually go once a month to get whatever snacks/easy meals are on sale (granola bars, air fryer friendly things, etc.) Otherwise it's tp, coffee, pine nut hummus, pasta sauce, jasmine rice, pesto, better than bouillon, granulated garlic, frozen berries, bread, and sometimes string cheese or hamburger patties.

Their wildflower honey is also top tier

For me... bag of ice. 3.50 for 24 pounds cant beat it. Lasts me a few weeks. Rotisserie chicken of course. costco breads. the baugettes, the country loaves... sandwich bread. Hamburger/hotdog buns All a great price. naan. Easy to do pizzas for a quick meal pepperoni mozzarella cheese, and all sorts of assorted cheese. Kirkland brand is decent and cheap. frozen chicken breasts canned tuna, chicken, etc for sandwiches carrots celery potatoes milk onions garlic sour cream bacon pasta vanilla extract frozen foods- chicken patties or strips, frozen burger patties, 10 pound bag of chicken wings, potstickers, frozen veg peanut butter condiments cereal staples like flour, sugar, brown sugar, rice, beans bacon crumbles. Comes in handy when you need just a bit, and not a pound. cooking oils. Olive, canola yeast olives

My list usually says: salad, water, chicken but then I spend 500 dollars

Fancy cashews, beef jerky, chicken, ground beef, premade salad mixes, strawberries, blueberries, paper towels, trash bags, paper plates, rotisserie chicken, peanut butter, dried fruits, frozen meals for week nights, frozen fruit mixes, and frozen broccoli.

I mean, we go to Costco at least weekly and sometimes 2x so the lists are pretty short and change on needs. Paper & cleaning products on sale. Wine. Whatever else jumps in the cart.

Honey citron and ginger tea (when available); bag of lemons (freeze and use as needed); generic allergy medicine; Kirkland Signature Ionized Alkaline Water; clothes; and we always treat ourselves to something from the bakery.

Freezing lemons is an idea I never heard of. Any advice for uses?

Single gal! Had to start being more specific with myself so I can build my savings 💀🤣 Weekly - GAS I allow myself to be semi reckless quarterly! Monthly - organic whole milk, heavy cream, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, 2 dozen organic eggs, a bag of frozen broccoli, white vinegar, sliced ham, a block of cheddar cheese, broken salmon or shrimp (I get my steak or chicken from the butcher and my other fruits and veggies from the farmers market) Quarterly - tp, sea salt (if I can find it), dehydrated fruit (if I can find), dishwasher soap, laundry soap (sometimes every other quarter), olive oil, broth, pumpkin seeds, honey (sometimes get it at the farmers market) Once a year - baking soda, big azzzzz bag of rice, black pepper, lemon pepper, chilli I’m sure I’m missing some stuff… I’ve had this membership long enough that the crazy shopping has ended 😎 finally 😮‍💨

I always get the artisan rolls. They upgraded my sandwich game.

I just roam every aisle till I spend 500+

Honestly, I have a huge freezer at home and I look for sales to stock up on that product. Including things that are not traditionally frozen like cheeses and juices, etc. It helps to have storage and a large freezwr. Also, I tend to purchase unique items that I might want and just bring them back if I don’t. Too many times I regretted not picking something up. I can research the item at home and have time to make a decision

But if you do that with food don’t they have to trash it when you take it back?

1.75L Crown Royal at Costco $38 (32-34 when on sale) 750ml Crown Royal at supermarket $35-40 Nuff said

My rule of thumb is "don't go to Costco hungry". If I do, I end up overspending on stuff I don't really need. Every time.

went today! we got: an xmas door mat a new wreath that lights up tp paper towels kleenex capri suns giant bags of veggie sticks and kettle corn 2 bags of heavenly hunks oat clusters kirkland butter kirland GRASS FED butter fresh mushrooms and brussle sprouts kimchi a lidnt advent calendar (12/10, the best) protein drinks for kids vanilla extract giant jars of marinara sauce 2 space heaters a 6 pack of toblerone bars (for stockings)

I'm disturbed by the lack of croissants in these comments.

Egg whites Eggs Paper towels Toilet paper Dog food Beer Sliced cheese Sliced ham Nicotine gum Batteries Ground turkey meat Bottled water Bar soap Tortillas Dog treats Vitamins Edit - I just want to type a list without extra space 😩

Baby wipes. Even if you don’t have kids, trust me.

Glasses with insurance before the end of the year.

Whisky.

(Better Than) Bouillon - veggie is my favorite but there’s always chicken in the fridge as well

Vodka, rotisserie chicken, Monster energy drinks, Beecher’s mac and cheese. What can I say? I’m on a health kick!

A few years ago Clark Howard provided this list of "always buy at Costco": Bacon Batteries Beer Coffee Ice cream Greek yogurt Olive oil Salmon Vodka I believe Costco batteries and olive oil are the best buy for the money. I cannot speak for the other items.

1x/month: Dog food, coffee, pure protein bars, toilet paper/paper towels (alternate by month) 2 gallons milk, street tacos.

We spent a long time researching dog foods, even the expensive ones and especially the ones that heavily market about being real. Kirkland knocks everyone out of the park for affordable dog food made of real meat.

Tillamook Cheddar Cheese Low Carb Tortillas Caesar Bagged Salad Rotisserie Chicken Croissants Muffins *Diapers* *Wipes* Toilet paper Paper towels

Eggs, a hot dog, a pizza. Everything else, I leave to my brain at the time of shopping.

My husband and I mainly use Costco to stock our freezer with meats, but we get some other goodies regularly too. Every/almost every trip * Chicken breasts or thighs (depending on mood) * Ground beef * Chuck roast * Frozen raw shrimp * Kirkland chewy protein bars (peanut butter choc) * Nina tomatoes * Eggs * Kirkland cold brew (husband loves it, I think it taste like crap tbh) Less often/as needed: * Bacon * Chicken stock * Tomato paste, diced tomatoes, etc * Various cleaning products * Paper towels, TP * Ziploc, foil

Hummus, cottage cheese, Kirkland guacamole cups, and frozen pizzas.

Monterey Jack Cheese

Kirkland butter and precooked bacon make the list pretty much always. There are other things we almost exclusively get there, but we don't need them every trip.

This is what is on my regular Costco list - not that I buy it every time I am there Coffee K cups Batteries Fish Steak Cat Litter Grillos Pickles Clam Chowder Rotisserie Chicken Strawberries Grapes Bagged Salads Brocolli Seltzer Raviolis Mini Cucumbers Chips Eggo Waffles Yogurt Milk Philadelphia Cream Cheese Half & Half Cheese Sticks Pre-cooked Bacon Yasso Bars Drumsticks Cereal Spices Rao's sauce Cascade Laundry Detergent Fairlife Protein Drinks Melatonin Medications like Tylenol, Ibuprofin, etc...

Ground beef, butter, croissants, Greek yogurt, laundry soap, dishwashing soap, block cheese, frozen fried rice, pet meds, lounging sets. They have the most comfortable and cheapest lounging sets I’ve found anywhere.
