Costco Favorites

If you have a use for canned tuna, their Kirkland brand white albacore in water is excellent. I've never had such a good quality canned tuna.

I used to love the salmon burgers, but haven't been there in so long I don't know if they still have them. They came frozen, stacked in a bag, and I would take them out and vacuum seal them in onesies and twosies so that they kept well in the freezer. I miss those.

Chicken, thank you! I make salmon salads in the summer; I can easily substitute a good quality tuna!

I don't make burgers, so I doubt I would use those.

They had fresh wild caught sockeye salmon last week. It was awesome. I buy all my meat at Costco, but generally in the fresh section. We get a lot of the vacuum sealed chicken pieces, whole chickens, brisket and pork shoulder primals. The fruit is great, naan bread, I get my unbleached all purpose flour there, vanilla extract, the chocolate covered dried mango is incredible. The coconut cashew clusters are to die for. Ziplock bags, the milk and eggs are a great price as is the heavy cream, butter, sour cream, cream cheese.

Can you tell I mostly shop at Costco? I rarely go to the regular grocery store. I basically go to the regular store for onions, cilantro, potatoes and other things I only want to buy a small amount of or that Costco doesn't carry.

They do still have the salmon burgers but I've never tried them.

Oh and the chocolate, salted caramel macadamia nuts are fabulous!

On 7/24/2014 Chi-town girl said: Our fav "food only" Costco items include: the roasted chicken-a weekly "must", bananas, organic blueberries, bagged almonds, walnuts, and peanuts in shell (we bring our own to baseball games), bagels (slice and freeze), coconut water (purchase when they have sale coupon), coffee beans (we grind fresh at home), wine, and during summer, the wild/line caught fish like salmon and ahi tuna. Like the gourmet cheese selections, but such large sizes, so typically just for parties and holidays.

Feel free to tell me your non-food items as well!

I haven't tried the produce or dairy yet. I was tempted by the peaches a few weeks ago, but they aren't in season.

DH is the big cheese eater. I buy him a 1/2 pound block of his favorite from the market. When I saw it at Costco for very, very cheap (2 pounds), I bought it. He ate it in the same amount of time that he did the 1/2 pound.

The side effects were not nice.
