I was in Costco a week ago and bought some Granola snack mix. It is made fresh and is over by the bread. So yummy! Also, we got some Chipotle Hummus that is so good yet a little spicy. I bought some pita chips there to go with it.
I love making a big trip to Sam's/Costco! The only this is, I spend so much darn money when I go. ;-) Have fun shopping!!
We dropped our Sam's membership and are addicted to Costco.
We always buy our fish (ahi tuna, mahi, orange roughy, etc.), shrimp, and scallops there. (Kirkland brand in the big bags.) They are individually portioned and wrapped (the fish, not the shrimp and scallops
), so it keeps them all fresh even if you open the bag and use only 2 servings every once in a while. It actually tastes fresher than fish we've found at the market since it's caught and immediately packaged/frozen.
They have fantastic lump crab in 1 lb. containers (near the cheeses and fresh made uncooked pastas). We buy it all the time and use it for dips, stuffed chicken, pizzas, etc.
They have fresh spinach in the fridge room that's in a clear plastic tub for really cheap. We eat it for salads, wraps, etc, and as soon as it starts to wilt, I saute what's left.
We buy their huge blocks of Manchego - it's cheaper than anywhere else and just as good.
They have bags of Mrs. Mays Ultimate Crunch that I ate non-stop while pg.
Frozen veggies - I love that they, too, are in smaller bags inside the big one.

Umm, what don't I buy at Costco??
Pretty much everything that everyone else posted. I love Stacy's pita chips and the chipotle hummus. We also get all of our paper products there.
Also, they have great prices on fruit and produce (most of the time - sometimes you have to comparison shop). Lately they have the huge tubs of strawberries for 4.99. I get those and the bags of spinach and make salads (with vidalia onion dressing - also from Costco).
We get lots of baby stuff there too. Diapers, wipes, snacks. And they always have some great Carters clothes for cheap.
pretty much this!
Oh yeah! We get coffee there, too. DH has always loved Community coffee, but he swears that Costco's is better.
Wipes, diapers, etc.
I don't think there's much we DON'T get at Costco. Paper Towels are less expensive at Wal Mart and Home Depot, and with 3 kiddos, we go through a LOT of paper towels
I LOVE Costco.
They have great prices on wine, so that pays for our membership right there (although we haven't bought any in the past 8 months :P)
We also buy: Olive oil, toilet paper, electronics, ink cartridges, gum, morning star farms sausage patties, frozen pizzas, maple syrup, dishwasher detergent, OTC medications, shaving cream, razor blades, facial moisturizer, laughing cow light cheese, whatever snack foods look good, etc. I also bought my wedding band and our sheets there.
