Bottled water, Kirkland brand whole bean French Roast and dog food. That is it. That is all we go there for.

Talk to the butcher, get a 10 lb tube of ground beef for around 10c less per pound then what they put out in the case. We take it home, break it up into 1 lb portions, Ziploc it, flatten it out for easy stacking and quick defrosting then freeze it. Just unthaw 1 or 2 lbs at a time depending on the recipe.

Both sets of grandparents try to put duel each other with dropping off Costco stuff. My dad will drop off a pack of frozen ribeyes one day, the next her mom is dropping off paper towels. Something about retirement and Costco.

Kirkland paper towels
Ziplock freezer bags
Big container of mixed nuts (no peanuts or brazils) no salt

Most of my casual clothes - t-shirts, shorts, underwear, socks

My biggest saving was on hearing aids. I paid about $1,300 for top of the line Phillips, and went thru a good hearing evaluation. They sell for $3,000 and up at other locations.

Gasoline is another big saving item. Probably saves about $3.00 per fill up over the other stations nearby. That adds up over the year.

Not frozen but the Costco we shop has ribeyes cut about 1/4" thick usually 10 to a pack. Bring them home, separate into 2's and freeze. We like making steak salads with them, cook them in the air fryer.

I'll stop yelling at you so quickly, since you're not a Costco simp. Maybe.

I buy the Kirkland white T-shirts (undershirts). Good quality for a good price.

The amount of laziness, yet you'll park in a nearly full parking lot and "shop" like a woman for over an hour in Costco.

1/4" thick

And you either can't measure, or you like to eat Steak Umms.

The Kirkland ProV1 knockoffs were a solid deal.

I don’t have a membership, so I just go to get cheap food from the food court when I’m broke.

I can't find a tri-tip anywhere around Ascension or Baton Rouge but Costco sells them so that's usually the main reason for my trips. I'll usually walk out with other stuff but always grab a whole cooked pizza from the deli for $10. Not quite as good as the Sams deli pizza but good enough.
