Same here. Even though it's just my wife and me now and we have a ton of leftovers I just like that one better.


The 6 pounder freezes well after cooking. I cut it up and save serving size portions, so nothing goes to waste.

When the wife and i doesn't feel like cooking, we'll get their rotisserie ribs for the kids. Those sumbitches are good.

We buy eggs (about $2 for 18 in the carton) and a gallon of milk ($2.25) from there whenever we run out of those items.

Their pizza is the devil. You can call them to order and they'll have the pizza ready by the time you get there. You can't beat an extra large pizza for $9.98 that taste way better than Pizza Hut, Dominos, and Papa John's.

I really like their tequila and margarita mix.
Haven't tried their tequila, but their Margarita mix is the best commercial Margarita mix I've ever tasted. Uses pure cane sugar, lime juice, and no preservatives.

How do you reheat it? Microwave?

I keep hearing it's ''just like GG'' but I doubt it. Texas Costcos can't sell liquor inside so I haven't tried it yet.


You do realize that GG is nothing special right? I mean, fermented from the same place that most American vodkas are?

Absolutely, but I decided not to shite on the thread that asked for recommendations. Save that for another time, dick.

The gigantic blueberry muffins by the bakery are awesome. They also do seasonal flavored like pumpkin streusel and some others that are very good.


The kirklands Colombian coffee in the green can is surprisingly good.

Their milk is super cheap.

Always buy a pack of avocados

The Tuscan pork and pesto salmon are popular meals at our house.

Agree with others on fresh meats. Kirklands silver tequilla is very good and inexpensive. Tried something new this week and picked up a 12 lb pork belly for about $30 for homemade bacon.

Rotisserie chicken
TP/PT
Nuts
Pesto
Milk

Meat
Organic tortilla chips
Salsa
Vitamins
Dishwashing soap
Hand soap

Just about anything Kirkland is good...

ETA: I save a lot of money on OTC medicine there. Can save as much as half...
