Costco is known for huge quantities at great prices. There are lots of not so good choices at Costco (think frozen egg rolls, monster bags of chips, jumbo muffins as big as your head, etc.), but there are lots of good choices there, too! I love Costco for many things, including pet supplies, produce, laundry soap, meats, household items, & water bottles.


If you’re shopping for a small household, I recommend finding a partner for your trips to Costco. I usually go with my mom, that way we can split things. It allows you to take advantage of the great deals without having too much food (especially when it comes to fresh items that will go bad before you can get to them!). 


Here’s what I bought at Costco– all budget & Paleo/healthy lifestyle friendly! 🙂



Veggies

  • Broccoli Florets
    • Raw, steamed, or sautéd. Great source of non-dairy calcium.
  • Cherry Tomatoes
    • I eat them on salads & straight out of the container for a snack.
  • Brussels Sprouts
    • Love them roasted in the oven– Check back for a recipe!
  • Baby Romaine Lettuce
  • Mini Bell Peppers
    • Tasty cooked in sauces & soups, or raw in salads or snack bags.
Protein
  • Seasoned Rotisserie Chicken
    • All natural, tasty, & SO many ways to use it! I can feed myself for a few days on this $4.99 chicken. Check the rest of my blog for recipes!
  • Wild Sockeye Salmon
    • Better than farm-raised, at an excellent price. Click here to see my recipe for Lemon Pepper Salmon two ways!
  • Organic Cage Free Eggs
    • These contain Omega-3s & are a great price. Always good to have eggs on hand.

 Fruits & Random Items

  • Organic Coconut Sugar
    • Great all-natural sweetener that has more nutrients & a lower glycemic index than regular sugar. I plan to bake with this & use it to sweeten my coffee.
  • Bananas
    • I store them sliced & frozen to use in smoothies 🙂
  • Coconut Water
    • These small cartons are perfect for on-the-go, & come at a great price.
  • Medjool Dates
  • Pink Lady Apples
    • My favorite! These are a large size & great for snacking.
  • Avocado Oil
    • I plan on using this for cooking & salad dressings… check back for recipes 🙂
