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.

Costco has one of the best prices for the Shin ramen. A box of these convenient ramen bowls lasts my family a couple of months, and we love the convenience and flavor. Add a soup packet, fill water to the fill line, and microwave the bowl for 3 minutes. Easy peasy late-night snack.

Vital Proteins' Collagen Peptides is a must-buy at Costco for anyone looking to support their skin, hair, nails, joints, and overall health at an affordable price. 

Known for its high-quality, grass-fed, pasture-raised collagen, Vital Proteins is a trusted brand in the wellness community. Costco offers this popular supplement at a great price point, making it an excellent value for the efficacy it provides. Seriously, Costco has the best price. 

Collagen is a crucial protein that helps maintain the structure and elasticity of the skin, strengthens hair and nails, and supports joint and bone health. As we age, collagen production naturally decreases, leading to visible signs of aging and weakened joints. Vital Proteins’ Collagen Peptides are easily digestible and can be added to your daily routine without hassle—just mix a scoop into your coffee, smoothie, or any beverage for a simple, tasteless boost.

[Frozen Foods]

1. Edamame 

If you like edamame, Costco has the best edamame at the best value. 

2. Frozen broccoli 

Frozen broccoli last longer than the fresh one and is so easy to use. There are I believe 4 individually-packaged smaller packets in a bag, and you can steam them easily in a microwave. 

[Fresh Food/Ready Made] 

Costco rotisserie chicken can't be beat. The bird's huge and marinated to perfection, and it's only 5 bucks. 

[Pantry] 

Spices - their Kirkland Signature spices are high quality and because they have long expiration date, any family size can go through it no problem. 

[Misc] 

Costco also has a really good assortment of flowers at competitive pricing.

Costco has Truff right now. I was excited to find them as they're quite pricy, and the bundles at Costco have the best value. I got the Truff pasta sauce bundle and the hot sauce and olive oil set, and they're phenomenal. The hot sauce gift set includes the original hot sauce, jalapeno lime hot sauce, the hotter hot sauce, and the black truffle oil. The pasta sauce bundle contains a jar of spicy marinara and regular marinara. The Truff hot sauces and pasta sauces are infused with black truffle, giving the traditional hot sauce and pasta sauce a unique aroma.
