Making my list

I've been limiting my Costco excursions to once a month or so in favor of other grocery stores in the area, but the result has been that when I do go to Costco, my list is full of the items that it really only makes sense to buy there, usually for cost reasons.

These things include but are not limited to:

baby wipes
frozen fruit
baby formula
garbage bags
artichoke hearts
kalamata olives
dental floss
minced garlic
printer paper
gum

What have I missed? What else is cheaper and/or best to buy at Costco?

Broccoli, snap peas, spinach, and lettuce.

Also, a lot of their cheeses are priced well.

2 things i absolutely do not buy at costco: bananas and paper towels.

after a long stretch of not buying baanas there, i sometimes think "the bananas will be good this time." nope. they NEVER are.

and why don't they carry the "select-a-size" bounty paper towels. i go to target for those.

my fridge is empty, and I was just curious to see what other people buy! We don't have Costco, but at Sam's we buy Hawaiian Hazelnut coffee beans, frozen salmon, giant croissants (half of which actually make it home) and preportioned school snacks.

This is in response to AmyJune about the frozen tilapia. Check the fresh tilapia, bc at our Costco, it was actually cheaper per ounce to buy the fresh tilapia over the frozen.

Whit is totally right on the fresh tilapia-- I always buy the fresh, portion it out & then freeze it.

Some things I forgot: the latest book for your book club, Adidas track suits for the kids, rolls, and sliced bread.

Cereal is not a good deal at Costco.
