Do NOT try the chocolate covered macadamia caramels- I could eat the entire jar, they are just a wee bit salty and it is so good.

For dark chocolate covered almonds go to Trader Joe's.

Between Costco and Trader Joe's and the local farmers market we are pretty much covered.

Another good thing at Costco - socks, camisoles, yoga pants, sports bras, the Kirkland men's tee-shirts, gold toe socks. We buy a lot of that stuff. I also buy a lot of the speedo swimsuits there for me. They are a super bargain.

My favorite though is the Trident flash frozen sockeye wild salmon and it's gone missing the last few weeks. Apparently, the fisherman in Alaska have had a very bad season.

Sports bras, socks, frozen shrimp, greek yogurt, fresh mozarella cheese, Kirkland coffee. Or local Harris Teeter is great so I get just a few items that are much less expensive at Costco.

forgot about underwear, as it's not on my typical list, but yes, I have bought women's underwear at Costco for 5+ years and have been very pleased with quality & price.

A woman I know was in line next to me at Costco. She turned and offered me one, saying she was addicted to them. That was the only thing she was buying :O

I love their Black bean burgers.

With four kids, costco is a life saver.
We get our paper product, orange juice, some produce, some meat, socks, books, cds, and movies there. We also get a lot of our electronics there. My husband has recently discovered individual creme brulee in little glass containers.
I love the yoga pants, tank tops, and pajamas.
We have recently started getting "Costco Dinners" when guests come on short notice-two rotisserie chickens, a couple salads, bread, cheese, creme brulee for desserts. Depending on who is coming, I might add a heartier side dish as well. Works great to feed two families dinner without having to cook.

If you love dark chocolate almonds and have a Fresh and Easy in your area, they sell ones that are better, in my opinion, than the ones at Trader Joes and the prices there are excellent. The also have chocolate covered everything else but we stick with the almonds. If Fresh and Easy comes to your area, it's definitely worth checking out. Great prices and some good items.

I found another bargain. I hate dirty eyeglasses and clean mine frequently. I learned the hard way that you cannot use windex or similar glass cleaners. For a few dollars you buy a cleaning kit from Costco which includes 2 good sized spray bottles, a mini spray bottle, an eyeglass tool and a microfiber cleaning cloth. That is great but, even better, cleaning fluid refills are free!!

I saw that eyeglass cleaner refill bottle last week when we were buying our first pair of glasses at Costco for my son.

What section do you find the creme brulee???? I want some right NOW!

On the recommendation of a previous poster I bought the lime/cilantro fresh shrimp today and FORGOT TO SERVE IT TO MY GUESTS!!!! Guess I know what's for dinner for the next few nights.

I had only one taker for the Kirkland's Mojito so there's a lot of that left too, but it was a big hit at a 4th of July party. Everyone else tonight drank "Lemonade", 1 part citrus vodka, 2 parts limoncello, 4 parts diet lemonade.

I walked past the chocolate covered pomegranate because I should be hanging out at the diet and exercise thread.

Fruits. We buy all our fruits from Costco. The white peaches are so good now.

This is what I bought today:

strawberries
blueberries
apricots
Willamette Valley Vineyards Pinot Gris (it is the best!!!)
cherry tomatoes
corn
Old Vine Zin
steaks
avocados
organic 1% milk
Folgers instant coffee (yuck, but DH grew up drinking this stuff and hates good coffee)
box of Fancy Feast for our feline kiddos
wild Alaskan salmon

All set for the next week

Their Laughing Cow cheese (comes in a pack of four) is a complete bargain, at least 50% off compared to buying each one individually in a supermarket.

Thanks for the heads up about the lime/cilantro shrimp. I just bought a container of it at Costco and it's heavenly!
