Coffee

As someone who drinks a lot of coffee, I go through coffee beans pretty quickly, so finding good-quality coffee at a reasonable price is important to me. That’s why Costco is always my go-to place for stocking up.

I’ve found that Costco’s coffee prices are hard to beat, especially compared to what I’d pay at my local grocery store. My personal favorite is the Kirkland Colombian Whole Bean Coffee. I love its rich, smooth flavor, and it’s become a staple in my kitchen.

Since I drink coffee every single day, those savings really add up over time. It’s one of those Costco purchases I never have to think twice about because I know I’m getting great coffee at a great price.

Smoked Salmon

Kirkland smoked salmon is always on my Costco shopping list. The price is hard to beat, and the quality is just as good as what you’d find at a gourmet deli.

One of my favorite ways to enjoy it is with Costco’s buttery croissants for breakfast. It’s such a simple combination, but it feels like a special treat.

Whenever I have houseguests, I always make sure to pick up a package of Kirkland smoked salmon. It’s an easy way to elevate an ordinary breakfast and make it feel a little more special without spending a fortune or putting in much extra effort.

Canned Tomatoes

Costco’s organic diced tomatoes are a pantry staple I always keep stocked in my kitchen. I use them in so many recipes, especially when I make homemade chili.

I love having a few cans on hand because you never know when a recipe will call for diced tomatoes. It’s one of those everyday essentials that I always buy at Costco so I don’t have to make a last-minute trip to the grocery store.

Grain and Celery Salad

I almost passed on Costco’s Kirkland Grain and Celery Salad because, honestly, I’m not a big fan of celery. But I’m so glad I decided to give it a try!

Despite the name, the celery flavor is very mild and doesn’t overpower the salad at all. It’s a delicious, hearty grain salad that’s surprisingly light and refreshing.

I ended up loving it so much that I now find myself making extra trips to Costco just to pick up this salad! It’s become one of my favorite ready-made sides, especially on busy days when I want something delicious without having to prepare it myself. It’s definitely one of those Costco finds I keep coming back for.

Toilet Paper

Toilet paper is one of those essentials I always make sure to stock up on at Costco. I’m a big fan of the Kirkland brand because it strikes the perfect balance—thick enough for comfort but not so thick that it clogs the toilet.

This has been a lifesaver, especially in a household with kids who tend to be overzealous with toilet paper!

Organic Almond Milk

Kirkland Organic Unsweetened Almond Milk is one of those pantry staples I always keep stocked. I use it every single day in my morning coffee instead of traditional creamer. I love the subtle vanilla flavor because it adds a little something extra to my coffee without needing to add sugar.

I’ve been trying to cut back on my sugar intake, so I especially appreciate that it’s unsweetened. It gives my coffee a nice flavor without the added sugar.

I also use it as the base for my homemade smoothies. It’s so versatile that I go through it pretty quickly, which is why I always make sure to pick up more whenever I’m at Costco.

Croissants

Costco’s croissants are dangerously good. They’ve become a staple for our family breakfasts, served plain or with smoked salmon.

The only challenge? The pack size is enormous for my family of four, so I always end up sharing some with our neighbor, who never complains about the delicious freebies!

Trash Bags

When it comes to trash bags, I refuse to pay full price if I can help it. Costco regularly puts its Kirkland Signature trash bags on sale, and whenever I see a good deal, I make sure to stock up.

Trash bags are one of those household essentials I know I’ll always need, so it makes sense to buy them in bulk when they’re on sale. One Costco-sized box lasts my family for months, which means fewer trips to the store and one less thing to worry about running out of.

Plus, since trash bags don’t expire, I never have to worry about buying too many!

Five Cheese Tortelloni

Kirkland Five Cheese Tortelloni is a lifesaver on busy weeknights when I don’t feel like spending a lot of time in the kitchen.

I love that it cooks in just two minutes, compared to the usual 8 to 10 minutes for dried pasta. When you’re trying to get dinner on the table for hungry kids, every minute counts!

My favorite way to serve it is with Rao’s marinara sauce, which I also buy at Costco. It’s such an easy dinner that requires almost no effort, and my kids love it.

It’s one of those meals I always keep on hand for nights when I need to get something on the table fast.

Organic Chicken Stock

Kirkland Organic Chicken Stock is one of those pantry staples I always make sure to have on hand. I use it in so many recipes, from soups and stews to everyday dinners, and it’s such a lifesaver when a recipe calls for chicken stock.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been in the middle of cooking and realized I needed chicken stock. Having a case stocked in my pantry saves me from making those last-minute trips to the grocery store.

I also love that it’s organic, tastes great, and is such a good value at Costco. It’s one of those practical purchases that makes cooking at home a little easier, which is why I keep buying it.

Rotisserie Chicken

Costco’s rotisserie chicken is legendary for a reason. At just $4.99, it’s one of the best deals at Costco and such an easy way to get dinner on the table without much effort. Just serve it with some roasted vegetables or a simple salad, and dinner is done!

I buy Costco’s rotisserie chicken all the time because, honestly, after a shopping trip to Costco, the last thing I want to do is come home and cook dinner. By the time I’ve loaded everything into the car, driven home, and put away all the groceries, I’m ready to call it a day!

That’s why I love picking up a rotisserie chicken while I’m there. It takes care of dinner for the night, saves me from ordering takeout, and at $4.99, it’s hard to beat the price.

Chunky Guacamole

I can never seem to finish a full tub of guacamole before it starts turning brown, which is why I love Kirkland Organic Chunky Guacamole Cups. The individual portions are perfect for snacking, and I can open just one cup at a time without worrying about the rest going bad.

Another reason I always buy my guacamole at Costco is the price. Guacamole can be expensive at my local grocery store, and Costco’s price is so much better. Plus, with the individual cups, I waste a lot less because I’m not opening a big container that I can’t finish in time.

It’s one of those Costco purchases that saves me money while also helping me cut down on food waste.

Maple Syrup

Kirkland maple syrup is one of those Costco staples I always keep in my pantry. It has a delicious, rich maple flavor that’s not too strong or overpowering, making it a hit with everyone in my family. My husband, the kids, and I all love it!

And the price is another reason I keep buying it. Pure maple syrup can be expensive at regular grocery stores, but Costco sells a generously sized bottle at a much better value. Since we use maple syrup regularly for pancakes, waffles, and French toast, buying it at Costco just makes sense.

It’s one of those items I never bother buying anywhere else because I know I’m getting great quality at a great price.

Baby Wipes

Even though my kids are long past the baby stage, I still buy Kirkland baby wipes at Costco. They’re one of those household essentials I can’t imagine living without!

I love that they’re thick, durable, and gentle enough to use for so many things beyond diaper changes. I use them for everything from wiping sticky hands to cleaning up little messes around the house and wiping down the car interior.

I always keep a pack in the car and several around the house because you never know when you’ll need one. They’re so convenient, and buying them in bulk at Costco makes them a great value. Just because you don’t have babies anymore doesn’t mean you should stop buying baby wipes!

Shredded Mexican Cheese

Organic Broccoli Florets

Frozen vegetables are a lifesaver on busy weeknights, and Kirkland Organic Broccoli Florets are one of my favorite Costco freezer staples. I love that they come in four smaller bags instead of one giant bag, so I can take out just what I need and keep the rest in the freezer.

My favorite way to prepare them is to roast them in the oven with a little olive oil and salt. They come out delicious, and it’s such an easy way to add a healthy side dish to dinner without much effort.

I always keep these stocked in my freezer because they’re so convenient, especially on nights when I don’t have any fresh vegetables on hand or don’t feel like making another trip to the grocery store.

Plus, buying organic broccoli in bulk at Costco is a great value! Check out 15 Best Costco Breakfast Items for Busy Mornings

Kirkland Shrimp Tempura

Kirkland Shrimp Tempura is one of my favorite Costco freezer finds. They’re so easy to prepare because they go straight from the freezer into the air fryer. No defrosting or prep work needed! They come out perfectly golden and crispy.

I love serving them as an appetizer when we have guests over because they’re always a hit, and nobody would guess how little effort they take to make. They’re also great for a quick weeknight dinner. I just serve them over rice, and dinner is practically done!

The best part is that even my picky kids love them, which is always a win in my house. It’s one of those Costco freezer staples I like to keep on hand because it’s so convenient and makes putting together a meal so much easier.

Kirkland French Brie is one of my favorite cheeses to buy at Costco, and it regularly ends up in my shopping cart. I love its rich, creamy texture and mild, buttery flavor. It’s such an easy snack to enjoy with crackers or a crusty baguette, and it feels a little more indulgent than an everyday snack.

What I love most is the price. Brie can be expensive at specialty cheese shops and even regular grocery stores, but Costco sells it for so much less.

It’s also great to have on hand when guests come over. I can put together a simple cheese platter in minutes, and it looks like I went to much more trouble than I actually did!

Kirkland Organic Milk is one of those Costco staples I always make sure to buy. The quality is excellent, and I’ve found that the price is much better than what I’d pay for organic milk at my local grocery store.

With two growing kids in the house, we go through a lot of milk, so buying it at Costco just makes sense.

I also buy Kirkland Ultra-Filtered Reduced Fat Milk, which has 50% less sugar and 50% more protein than regular milk. I especially love the extra protein because my teenage son plays football and is always looking for ways to increase his protein intake.

Between the organic milk and the ultra-filtered milk, Costco has become my go-to place for stocking up. Milk is something we use every day, so getting good quality at a better price really adds up over time.

Kirkland Jasmine Rice is one of those pantry staples I always keep stocked in my kitchen. We eat rice regularly in our house, so buying it in bulk at Costco just makes sense.

I’ve compared prices at my local grocery stores and even Asian supermarkets, and Costco consistently offers a better deal. Since rice is something we go through pretty quickly, the savings really add up over time.

I also love that jasmine rice is so versatile. I serve it with everything from stir-fries and curries to quick weeknight dinners.

Organic Strawberry Jam

Costco’s Kirkland Organic Strawberry Spread is our go-to jam, and it’s one of those pantry staples I always keep stocked. I love that it’s organic, tastes delicious, and is such a great value compared to what I’d pay at my local grocery store.

One change I’m especially happy about is the packaging. Costco recently switched from one giant jar to two smaller 24 ounce jars, which I think is so much more practical for my family of four.

With the old giant jar, I sometimes struggled to finish it before it went bad.

In fact, there have been times when I had to throw out the remaining jam because mold started growing before we could finish the jar. It was such a waste, especially since I bought it at Costco to save money in the first place!

That’s why I love the new packaging. Now we can open one smaller jar at a time and keep the other sealed until we need it. It’s much more manageable and helps reduce food waste.

Sometimes buying in bulk isn’t the problem. It’s how the product is packaged that makes all the difference! Check out 25 Easy Costco Frozen Food Staples for Quick Dinners
