Personal experience: 8 things I always buy at Costco

Jill Cooper has been a Costco member for over 20 for years and often makes purchases at this wholesale store.

In his material for Money Talks News she decided to share a list of their favorite products and the reasons for which gives them preference.

Next - from the first person.

1. Gift cards

Gift cards can be found in many stores, but the opportunity to purchase them at a discount is extremely rare.

And you can almost always find discounts on gift cards at Costco. Of course, the selection will be a little narrower than in many other places, but at the price of this product, Costco definitely has no competitors. For example, I recently purchased two $25 gift cards to See's Candies for $38,99—a savings of about $11.

Also available were discounts for cinemas and gift cards for local ice cream shops and cupcakes, as well as for California Pizza Kitchen chain restaurants.

2. Grilled chicken

This has become almost a cliche, but if you're not a vegetarian, then you should buy a fresh, hot grilled chicken every time you visit Costco.

Costco's grilled chicken has a fan page on Facebook where subscribers share recipes and tips. And the best part is that a whole baked chicken costs only $ 4,99.

5 people can easily dine on it, and it’s only $1 per serving. Shred the leftover meat and it can be used to make soup or tacos, and the bones can be used to make a great homemade broth.

3. Aromatic Sparkling Water

At home, we have sharply reduced our consumption of sugary carbonated drinks and prefer water. We love mildly flavored sparkling waters, my favorite flavor is coconut, and Costco is a great place to stock up on these.

A 24-pack of La Croix sparkling water costs $6,99—about 30 cents per can. It's cheaper than my local grocery store, Target, or even Walmart.

Also, Costco is the only place I've seen La Croix in 24-packs that combine three different flavors. Costco has other brands of sparkling water, including my husband's new favorite, Spindrift.

4. Sandwich plates

Every December I have a party with sweets for 60 guests. Every Easter, a dozen or more children and their parents come to paint the eggs and hunt for candy.

In the morning before such parties, I send my husband to Costco for their sandwich plates.

These freshly made sandwiches have toppings such as roast chicken, ham and roast beef. They are prepared with the addition of cheese, lettuce, mustard and mayonnaise.

Each plate is enough to feed about 20 people and it costs $ 32,99. They are very popular among our guests, and by the end of the party we hardly have one or two sandwiches.

5. Medicines

We are a pretty healthy family. But this does not mean that we do not have a first-aid kit with a stock of the most necessary medicines.

Advil, Nyquil, Aspirin and cough drops - Costco sells them all. For example, a 360-tablet can of 200 mg Advil costs $16,99.

In Target, a friend of my favorite store, a bank of Advil's 300 tablets on 200 mg costs $ 18,79.

6. Pie

I love cooking my own cakes, but since I discovered cakes at Costco, I always keep a few in the freezer. Some of them are perfect for vegetarians. For example, they have a spinach-artichoke pie, as well as with cheddar and broccoli.

7. Bacon

I love to buy bacon in bulk at Costco. What for? Because we eat it very rarely. This sounds illogical, but listen to me until the end.

Costco sells four 1-pound packs of bacon tied together. Upon returning home, I cut all the pieces of bacon in half, wrap them in parchment paper (so that the pieces do not freeze together) and put them in the freezer.

If we need two pieces of bacon or two dozen pieces, I can get exactly as many pieces from the freezer as I need.

These 4 pound bags are $13,99 at my local store - only $3,50 per pound.

8. Festive Cakes

I'm a fan of homemade holiday cakes, although my cake decorating skills leave a lot to be desired.

But sometimes, for example, when I arrange a birthday party for two dozen 11-year-olds, I need a cake more than my baking skills can withstand.

Costco cakes come with white or chocolate sponge cakes, they are covered with butter cream, vanilla, cheese or chocolate mousse.

You can choose from a variety of decoration themes, from rainbows to surfboards. But my advice as a mom: For school kids, choose a cake that has a rosebud on each piece to prevent fighting over that decoration. $18,99 for a cake that serves 48 people is the best deal I've seen.
