But Pleasant staff and working electric scooter carts have made this my favorite store
Ive really cut back, but Costco is one of three stores I go to frequently for my essentials, many of which last only a few days to a month, so work well for one or two people. I think I save enough for my basic membership at least, but for the pleasant (midweek) experience alone it feels worth it, even if I leave with just a few items and having enjoyed a sample or two.
Here are Some things off the top of my head that I get regularly or when on a fairly frequent sale:
Gas! Cheapest in town
Eggs (18 pkg)
raspberries, blueberries, Grapes
Scalloped potatoes (fridge section, sale)
Salmon/cheese/crackers snack. (Yum!) (fridge)
String cheese
Frozen chicken (strips, thighs, etc)
Chicken pita sandwiches (frozen)
Tortillas (low carb, bag, lasts)
Coffee (watch for sale)
Better than bouillon (great for soups)
Vitamins (sales)
Pain relievers: Ibuprofen, voltaren, etc.
Shampoo
Quinol (sale)
Nuts
Protein bars
Chips
Bulk:
Laundry soap
Paper products (sales)
Pkg of electric toothbrushes (sales)
Toothpaste 3 pkg
Sometimes they have good deals on shoes, clothes, appliances, etc. and easy returns! I also like them for eyeglasses. Also vaccinations, even if not your regular pharmacy. I sometimes do my covid booster there, walk up and not much wait, then do shopping
I swear, I was paid nothing for this promotion, lol! Just a happy customer.
