14 Things I Bought At Costco This Month That I'd 100% Buy Again

<

Discover the top picks from my latest Costco shopping trip that have become instant favorites. From everyday essentials to indulgent treats, these items offer exceptional quality and value, making them repeat buys. Join me as I highlight the must-haves that made it into my cart this month.

Premium Olive Oil Two-Pack

This is the kind of olive oil that makes you feel like maybe you know what you're doing in the kitchen. Two big bottles of extra virgin olive oil for less than one bottle costs at those fancy kitchen stores. Use it for cooking, drizzling on bread, or making salad dressing that's actually good. Once you start using decent olive oil, you can't go back to the cheap stuff - it really does make a difference.

Kirkland Signature Bacon

This bacon has a cult following for good reason - it's thick-cut, flavorful, and cooks up perfectly crispy without shrinking down to nothing. The pack is huge, usually around four pounds, but it freezes great so you can portion it out. Weekend breakfast just hits different when you've got quality bacon sizzling in the pan, and this stuff delivers that restaurant-quality taste at home. It's got a good meat-to-fat ratio, which means it crisps up nice without being greasy or falling apart. Lots of folks say it's better than the premium brands at regular stores, and you're getting way more for your money. Whether you're making BLTs, adding it to a burger, or just eating it straight, this bacon doesn't dissapoint.

Kirkland Signature Nuts

Nuts are expensive everywhere, but Costco makes them almost affordable. Whether you're into almonds, cashews, mixed nuts, or those fancy marcona almonds, the Kirkland brand delivers fresh, quality nuts at prices that don't make you wince. They're perfect for snacking, adding to salads, or having around when people come over. The containers are resealable, which keeps them fresh, and the portion sizes mean they actually last. Nuts are one of those healthy snacks that keep you full and give you energy, so having them on hand helps avoid reaching for junk food. The roasted and salted varieties have just the right amount of seasoning without being overwhelming.

Miss Vickie's Jalapeño Kettle Cooked Potato Chips

These thick-cut kettle chips bring the heat with real jalapeño kick, balanced by that classic crunchy texture you crave from a good chip. The massive multi-pack is cooked in avocado oil for a cleaner bite, and the spice level is just right – enough to wake up your taste buds without overwhelming everything. Grab 'em for poker night or pairing with a cold one; they're sturdy enough for dipping but disappear quick on their own.

Kirkland Grass-Fed Butter

Kirkland’s Grass-Fed Butter, sourced from New Zealand and sold in four 8-ounce packs, rivals pricier brands like Kerrygold in taste, according to employees. It’s a cost-effective choice for butter lovers looking to stock up without breaking the bank.

A Case of Kirkland Bottled Water

At $3.99 for 40 bottles, Kirkland’s bottled water is one of Costco’s best deals, according to employees. Whether for emergency preparedness or everyday hydration, its low price and reliability make it a must-have for any pantry.

Kirkland Signature Grass-Fed Ground Beef

Ground beef is incredibly versatile and the grass-fed stuff from Costco is high quality without the premium price tag you'd pay at specialty stores. A 4-ounce cooked portion gives you around 28 grams of protein, and you can use it for burgers, tacos, spaghetti sauce, chili, or whatever else you're making. Grass-fed beef has a slightly different flavor than regular beef - it's a bit leaner and some people say it tastes more "beefy" - but I think it's better. It comes in these big packages at Costco, so I divide it up into portions and freeze what I'm not using right away. Just write the date on the freezer bags so you know how long it's been in there. The main thing with ground beef is making sure you cook it to the right temperature, especially if you're making burgers. Nobody wants to deal with food poisoning. I use a meat thermometer now and cook it to 160 degrees internal temperature. It seems like overkill, but it's worth it for peace of mind.

Kirkland Signature Wild Alaskan Salmon

This salmon is a total steal, packed in a six-can set for about 15 bucks. It’s wild-caught, boneless, and skinless, so you’re getting top-notch fish without the hassle. Toss it in salads, make fish tacos, or mix it with some mayo for a quick sandwich spread. It’s loaded with protein and omega-3s, perfect for keeping you strong for those weekend hikes or gym sessions.

Kirkland Signature Trash Bags

These are tough as nails and don’t rip like the cheap ones. I used to deal with bags tearing during yard cleanups, but these handle everything from grass clippings to heavy garage junk. Plus, you get a ton, so you’re set for months.

Kirkland Signature Ice Cream Bars

These bad boys are a total steal. Kirkland’s vanilla ice cream bars are dipped in a thick chocolate shell with crunchy almonds. They’re rich, creamy, and just the right size for a quick dessert. I grabbed a box for a poker night last summer, and let me tell you, the fellas couldn’t stop raving about ‘em. At about 56 cents a pop, you can stock up and keep the freezer loaded for whenever the craving hits.

Kirkland Signature Organic Maple Syrup

Real maple syrup snobs know that once you go genuine, you can't go back to the fake stuff, and Costco's organic version delivers premium quality without the premium price tag. This isn't some watered-down imitation - it's the real deal from Canada, thick and rich with that authentic maple flavor that makes pancakes and waffles actually worth eating. The big jug lasts ages even if you're pretty generous with your pour, and it's perfect for more than just breakfast. People use it in marinades, glazes, coffee, and baking. The depth of flavor compared to conventional syrup is night and day, and once your family tastes the difference, they'll revolt if you try switching back to save a few bucks.

3. Kirkland Signature Peanut Butter Pretzels

These little nuggets of joy have created a genuine addiction problem for Costco members everywhere. Crunchy pretzel shells stuffed with creamy peanut butter create this perfect salty-sweet combo that's impossible to stop eating once you start. The big container seems like it'll last forever until you find yourself mindlessly munching through it during football games or late-night TV sessions. They're substantial enough to feel like a real snack but not so heavy that you feel guilty about grabbing another handful. Parents love them for kids' lunches, road trips love them for easy snacking, and office workers have been known to stash jars in their desks for that mid-afternoon slump.

8. Kirkland Signature Almond Butter

Almond butter fans are particular about texture and flavor, and Costco's version nails both while coming in at roughly half the price of boutique brands. It's creamy without being too runny, made from just almonds and salt without weird additives, and has that rich, roasted flavor that makes it worth the upgrade from peanut butter. The jar is enormous, which is perfect because this stuff disappears fast when you start putting it on toast, mixing it into smoothies, or just eating it by the spoonful straight from the jar. It's become a staple for the health-conscious crowd and anyone who appreciates quality nut butters without taking out a second mortgage to afford them.

Kirkland Signature Sea Salt

Salt might sound boring, but this finely ground sea salt is a kitchen MVP. It’s cheap, lasts forever, and works in everything from steaks to soups. I use it on my grilled burgers to get that perfect crust. At this price, you’re set for months, and you won’t be running to the store every other week. Stock up and season like a boss.
