For Whom/What:

Requirements:

good value

Extra Details:

Planning a Costco run for the month. Besides the basics like paper towel and cleaning supplies, what are your Costco must-buys? Are there any new, seasonal items out? We are not a big family, so bulk buying produce or perishable items are out of the option.

I love shopping snacks at Costco - it has great selections on some of the staple snacks I like. And I frequently find new snacks there too, so I pick some up here and there. Stocking up at Costco means you always have a tasty and nutritious snack on hand for yourself or the family. 

I get That's It mini fruit bars from Costco. They offer great value in bulk! The mini size makes them perfect for portion control, and they’re super convenient for quick snacks at home, in lunchboxes, or on the go. Since they’re made with just fruit, they fit into a healthy lifestyle while satisfying sweet cravings without added sugars. 

And the Tidbits gummies were a new one for me. I didn't have huge hopes for them, but they far exceeded my expectations. They're really good, and I will be returning for more.

I discovered Thai Box's Masala Chai Concentrate at Costco, and it’s officially my favorite chai blend! ☕️✨ The rich, spiced flavor is delightful, making it perfect for cozy mornings or an afternoon pick-me-up. If you love a good chai, you have to check this out next time you’re at Costco. Your taste buds will thank you.

The Okami Chinese Chicken Salad from Costco is a must-buy because it's so convenient, fresh, and loaded with flavor. It has a satisfying mix of juicy chicken, crunchy wontons, and sliced almonds that make it super enjoyable to eat. The dressing is a nice balance of tangy and sweet, adding that signature "Chinese chicken salad" flavor without being too heavy. It’s perfect for multiple meals or to share, which makes it a great grab-and-go option that’s a little more exciting than typical salads. 

The kit doesn't include veggies, but I like it this way so I can prepare fresh veggies myself - romaine lettuce is the classic combo, but I usually serve it on a bed of spring mix.

I recommend buying Hello Panda at Costco because you get a great bulk deal on this tasty snack that’s hard to resist. The larger pack is perfect for families, parties, or just stocking up for those sweet cravings. Each Hello Panda cookie has a crunchy biscuit shell filled with creamy chocolate (or sometimes strawberry or vanilla), making it an ideal treat to share or enjoy on the go. If you’re a fan of Hello Panda, Costco's value pack is hard to beat.
