JFF- Your Favorite Costco Food.

Aaaaah, My Kingdom For A Cosco!

:(

(Or a Whole Foods, or a Trader Joe's or SOME marginally freakin' decent grocery store, seethe)

Rotisserie chicken, margerita mix, diet green tea (Kirkland brand, tastes better than Lipton!) Ghiradelli brownie mix.

That's it for my favorite foods at Costco. But every time I go there I end up buying something random. Like last week, it was a bathing suit for my daughter and some rubbery shoes that I can use to water the lawn (or walk in mud, or whatever!)

I'm reading this and regretting my Sam's Club membership.

I love the greek Tzatziki dip. Fairly healthy and great with veggies. Also, we always keep the spinach and mozzarella ravioli (frozen in large bag) on hand for quick dinners. I LOVED the tabouli they had, but then they got a new kind which is not good. And, I agree witht the others that their cake is the best. I also love the kitchen trash bags because the box fits perfectly in the cabinet next to my trash cabinet!

LOL I am currently warming up an Amy's Organic bean and cheese burrito from the box of 8 I bought there yesterday!
And I wouldn't call it my *favorite* but the tri tip and filet mignon are so tender and such a great buy! You just have to slice it up and freeze it because it's such a big package.
However my favorite indulgence when I go there is getting a slice of pepperoni pizza and a coke. I hardly ever drink soda and that pizza is so damn greasy, but YUM.
(I'm drooling like Homer Simpson now...costco pizza...aaaaahhh...)

Rotisserie chicken, tortilla strips, broccoli cheddar soup (used to be Panera, now its their own label) and their sheet cake both the choc and vanilla
ETA: they also have a refrigerated (not frozen) tray of microwaveable cheesy hashbrown casserole that is really good
ETA 2: I totally agree on the kitchen trash bags- they're great!

Their pizza... their roasted chicken...their samples... stop me now!

Their spinach artichoke dip is great! I also like the little black/white cookies some Costco stores carry in the bakery.

Their salmon burgers make great quick fixes and mixes it up from regular old ground beef...and I LOVE their hummus!

M.

Right now we are hooked on their Ciabatta (sp??) bread and I am not even sure that's what they call it.
I found it in the bakery section and they come in a brown sack/bag with a clear window. I believe there are 8 sandwich size loaf things in there. They need to be sliced and are the perfect sandwich size. We have been making sandwiches with them (the best have been grilled chicken breast with colby jack cheese, chipotle sauce and pepperocinis and red onion (sp? again...sorry) and ham and cheese. We throw the bread on the grill at the very end to make them slightly crunchy. YUM!!

Their Birthday cakes!!! The great prices on cheese, the hummus, banana's, All the free samples, and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the all beef hot dogs and a soda for $1.50 in the food court!!!

I love costco.
I love their nut clusters, chocolate covered acai and blueberries, chocolate/caramel covered macademia nuts, bagels, trail mix, cake, rice bowls, grilled bbq chicken sandwhiches, cheesecake and a ton more.
Those are just every once in a while things, on a regular basis we buy the majority of our meat there....pork chops, ground beef, chicken, breakfast sausages, chicken sausages and ribs.
They also have the best deal on milk around here (regular and soy).
The last time I was there they had samples of this sort of flat bread pizza stuff. It was super cripsy and super yummy. I wish I could remember the name because at the time I didn't buy it but I wish I had!
This reminds me I need to go to Costco soon. =)

We like the Greek salad.

Sometimes I go there and only buy the Greek salad for dinner, YUM!

I typically don't buy seafood, absolutely no beef/lamb ( Not a dis on Costco, we just have a great butcher with higher quality). I do buy the prepackaged chicken breasts that come ready to freeze.

I love Costco!

I used to love the Kirkland nut clusters (pumpkin seeds, cashews, maybe some almonds -all held together with honey). They are SUPER rich though, so you can really only eat two or three at a time. However, I got crazy, waited-way-too-long, super hungry one evening and came home and downed about 6 of them -YECK. Go easy on them and they're great (just not anymore for me).

If you're having a birthday or occasion for a cake, their chocolate-chocolate cake is FANTASTIC! Moist, really chocolatey tasting -always gets rave reviews.

Their whole prime ribs are gorgeous and a great price. We usually buy one, cut it in half and freeze one half for Christmas. We cook the other in the summer. DELICIOUS!

Not food, but their cinching white kitchen garbage bags are great.

Their coffee is actually very good -the Kirkland one in the blue bag that you can grind there. I think they have several varieties, but that one is tasty.

Rotisserie chicken, raisin bread, frozen strawberries, LaBrea torta rolls, Greek yogurt, various wines, wild-caught salmon burgers, dark chocolate-almond-cherry clusters...I adore Costco!

Spinach ravoli ans the butternut squash ravolis too. Yum!

My 2 'must haves' from Costco are the:

Orange, Peach and Mango Jam

AND

Freeze dried chocolate covered Strawberries!

I like a lot but one of my favs, is their organic tortilla chips & salsa. It's embarrassing how much we go through in a week.

Parmesan cheese bagels
