All the rage

Okay… so I am a cliche mom and got a Costco Membership… but, I am all about a good deal & convenience. As a new mom with a one-income household – these things are a big must!

Costco can be intimidating. It’s massive, consistently busy, and filled with way too many temptation buys. So, I wanted to give you the goods… the staples that we have been loving, the steals that we don’t feel guilty about.

FAVORITES:

(items without a description… it’s just the best price out there in bulk – nuff said)

Baby

• Kirkland Diapers – $10 cheaper than Huggies for the same amount and… literally the same EXACT diaper (same manufacturer)
• Kirkland Wipes – I have tried so many different wipes and these have been by far our favorite. They work great and have never irritated our baby’s sensitive skin. I haven’t had to restock still and it’s been 6 months!

Home

• Kirkland Toilet Paper & Paper Towels – Honestly the best quality for the best price, and it lasts FOREVER… there’s so much that I have to store extra upstairs! Also, the toilet paper is septic-friendly!
• Toothpaste & Mouth Wash – I wish they had natural brands… but a families got to save money where they can and these are a steal. You get bigger products, 3 of them, for the price of one at any other store.
• All Free&Clear Laundry Detergent
• Kirkland Dryer Sheets
• Swiffer Pads
• Emergen-C packs
• Bathroom Rugs
• Runner Rugs
• Kirkland Nature’s Domain Grain-Free Dog Food

Food Items

• Basil Pesto Salmon – SOOOOO GOOOD Y’ALL

• Beef Brisket & Smoked Pulled Pork – In my opinion very good easy bulk meats, they are the least expensive options at Costco
• Aidell Hotdogs
• Organic Ground Beef – better quality than at other grocery stores
• Smoked Turkey and Gravy (seasonal) – a huge hit for Thanksgiving and so freaking easy
• Kerrygold Butter – I used to never splurge on this because of the price, but Costcos price is almost the same as generic lower quality brands
• Kirkland Cage Free Eggs – we get the huge thing of them! Amazing price and lasts a long time
• Kirkland Columbian Ground Coffee – we use this to make iced coffee!
• Kirkland Ginger Kombucha – SO GOOOOD!

THE NOT SO MUCH…

• “Fresh” produce (minus a couple items, see above) – I wanted so badly to love it, but it goes bad INSANELY fast. It’s just not the best quality. I have wasted enough money on this here that I am refusing to continue trying.
• Olay Microsculpting Cream – Another item I really wanted to love, but the smell was intense and it made my face dry and very itchy
• Shea Moisture Coconut Shampoo – I used to LOVE this brand, but unfortunately they have changed a lot of their formulas to meet demand. This shampoo was very disappointing for me as it left build-up and made my hair feel greasy directly following a wash.
