Repeated Purchases of a Costco Connoisseur: An Insight into the 7 Items I Can't Live Without
Hey there! As a long-time Costco member and frequent visitor, I consider myself something of a warehouse whiz. I'm a food writer, so I spend a lot of time on their website and in-store each week. Here are seven Costco items that I always find myself buying on repeat.
Amylu Organic Chicken Burgers with Caramelized Onion and Aged White Cheddar
I'm quite fond of Amylu products, especially since they're convenient, tasty, and perfect for busy folks like me. These pre-cooked chicken burgers are great for grilling, pan-frying, air-frying, or even heating in the microwave. I love chopping them up and adding them to salads for a quick and healthy lunch.
USDA Choice New York Strip Steak
My kids and I are big fans of a good New York Strip steak, but with the cost of beef skyrocketing, it's often too expensive at other stores. At Costco, you can get USDA Choice beef for around $12.99 a pound. I usually cook one or two and freeze the rest for later. The savings are substantial, sometimes around $10 a pound.
Eggs
Whether they're brown or white, we go through a lot of eggs in our household, and Costco has the best prices around. Whether you're a home cook, a restaurant owner, or just someone who eats a lot of eggs, Costco eggs are a great deal.
Rotisserie Chicken
Costco's rotisserie chicken is a store staple, priced at just $5. It's so affordable that they lose money on it. I use the meat for everything from chicken salad to my son's favorite chicken fried rice to making bone broth or chicken soup.
Perfect Bar Refrigerated Organic Protein Bar, Variety, 12-count
Perfect Bars are the only protein bars I eat. They're made with quality ingredients and must be kept refrigerated. The variety pack, with six peanut butter and six chocolate chip bars, is always a must-have in my cart.
Oikos Triple Zero Yogurt
Oikos Triple Zero yogurt is often recommended by health experts, especially for those trying to lose weight. It's low in calories and packed with 15 grams of protein per serving. It makes a great breakfast, snack, or dessert, and the Costco variety pack is a fantastic deal.
Island Way 48oz Variety 12-Pack
I keep TikTok-famous Island Way sorbets in my freezer for dessert or parties. The sorbet comes in unique natural fruit shells, and Costco recently restocked their 48oz Variety 12-Pack with three of each flavor: Heavenly Coconut, Red Berry, Ruby Grapefruit, Passionate Mango, and Zesty Pomegranate.
In my quest for easy and organic meals, I enjoy Amylu Organic Chicken Burgers for their convenience and versatility in various cooking methods, such as grilling, pan-frying, air-frying, or even microwaving. For a nutritious yet quick lunch, I often chop them up and add them to salads.
Recipes play a significant role in my home-and-garden lifestyle, and Perfect Bar Refrigerated Organic Protein Bars are a staple in my diet. The variety pack, featuring six peanut butter and six chocolate chip bars, is a great addition to my food-and-drink selection.
In the realm of desserts, I favor Island Way sorbets for their unique flavors and natural fruit shells. The 48oz Variety 12-Pack, recently restocked at Costco, offers a delightful assortment of Heavenly Coconut, Red Berry, Ruby Grapefruit, Passionate Mango, and Zesty Pomegranate.
