If you enjoyed this video, please give it a THUMBS UP as it helps me in the RUclips algorithm! 😀 What is your Costco must-buy recommendation to everyone? 👇 COMMENT BELOW 👇
I would have to say furniture. And I would have to say paper towels and Kirkland toilet paper.. and I would have to say clothes. I will have to say Costco water the Kirkland brand.
All things keto... almond butter, almond flour, birchwood keto pancake mix, monkfruit sweetner, frozen grassfed beef patties, avocado mayonnaise, avocado oil, sardines, tuna fish... so many keto (and can be used for paleo) diet options that are tremendously cheaper at costco. Their baking supplies... especially now that the holidays are around the corner. Cleaning supplies (esp when on sale), Kirkland brand of laundry detergent.... for me.... I have chronic pain, their ibuprofen and acetaminophen is so much cheaper... dont forget one can get the printer ink cartridge refilled there very cheap.
I know this is kind of random but I started a job at Costco recently, and they treat you so great as an employee...not only is it great to shop there, but if you can get a job there you’re set
That’s important to me as a shopper, too. It makes a difference to whether or how often I’ll shop some place. I’m willing to pay a bit more knowing employees will benefit. The one exception is Amazon - I’ve heard they do NOT treat employees well, but they’re simply too hard to give up. Especially with things as they are now.
Logan Lake Congrats. :) Glad you like it there. I've been working at Costco for 4yrs & a few of my colleagues started after graduating high school & have spent their entire careers (some for 20+ yrs) with the company. It's very hard to get hired there because of low turnover. I wish you all the best there. :)
Cool, congrats. I prefer to shop at places where employees are treated well. Costco and Trader Joe’s are both very good to employees. I notice that they seem happier, and glad to be there, and give great customer service!
I used to work for a chesse factory where we actually made the cheese. Little known secret is Kraft and Kirkland American cheese is exactly the same. All we did was change the wrapper.
Costco had me return a mattress we had used for about 2.5 years and gave us full purchase price for it. I called their customer service to find out where/how to get warranty service on it as it was really sagging and not comfortable. They simply said we want you to be happy, let's set up a date to pick it up from your house and refund your full purchase price. I was stunned and of course delighted!
We just purchased our daughter a new laptop for school and according to our receipt electronics have an additional 1 yr warranty thru Costco on top of the standard 1 yr manufacturers warranty
My favorite store, clean, organized, polite, great prices always. I love Costco so much that sometimes i just go there and take time to check out everything.
We recently rescued a 2 yr old male cat and I have 1 yr old granddaughter who lives out of state. My daughter and I exchange videos and photos daily and laugh about how much they have in common!
Organic Kirkland Signature Ground Beef (comes in a 3-pack), Kerrygold Butter, the fresh croissants, frozen vegetables (they come in convenient individual bags), Tillamook Block Cheese (always shred your own-ends up cheaper in the long run, and it melts better).
Check out their Kirkland pure maple syrup. My husband is allergic to artificial maple flavoring, and Costco was the cheapest place I found the real "McCoy". Also, we have two boys and have purchased Costco half sheet cakes for their birthdays every year now for 17 years, YUM!! 🌈🌞✌️💕
Great video! Olive oil can go rancid depending on how quickly you use it. We love their dozen of butter croissants for only $4.99. They’re huge (the size of my hand) and delicious!
Items that are saving at Costco: Spices, including Lawrey’s garlic salt and jar chicken bouillon; Nuts-pecan, almonds, walnuts (used for baking or making granola mix)
The nuts are nice and fresh. They are a good deal but you have to realize the prices fluctuate due to weather and market conditions. All the more reason to stock up when they're on the downswing and freeze them!
Great video! #12 meat-price /quality. #13 non prescription pharmacy products. #14 Executive membership vs standard especially when buying big ticket items where you will actually make money. #14 third party vendors like flooring, HVAC, cars, mortgages, etc. I have saved money and also had a much better experience when I needed repairs or warranty work as Costco was an advocate for me.
@@debp.2599 they are always cheaper..and a second driver for free also! You can cancel anytime. So U have also started to check prices again closer to trip....if less....score that price and cancel the higher one!!
I love Costco leggings!! I was there the other day and walked by the counter with the leggings and a lady was standing there looking at them and I could tell she was debating on whether to buy them so asked hr if she had a pair. She said she had never bought them and I told her they were absolutely the best wearing leggings I had ever bought and you can’t beat the price. She ended up buying a pair! You’re welcome Costco 😊
The Snacks I big bulk is a life save for my house hold. The fresh fruit depending on off/on season have great prices. Cereal is always great prices. I luv you're videos ! Thank you very informative!
I agree with your wife, I've found joggers also for around $7, and I also know people tend to like purchasing alchohol there, whether it's rums vodkas or even wines, they have a large selection of premium items that are well priced.
Costco clothing is super hit or miss for us. Some are great quality and others are clearly "made for outlet" and just don't hold up. Huge fan of the Costco chickens; it's a must have for quick lunches!
Ok I see this was about a yr ago but I used to always by their chicken.. But man they have no taste anymore.. In fact no place but Boston market that has reasonable tasting chicken
I’m a new employee of Costco and I’m loving it ! Costco has quality merchandise and I appreciate your RUclips videos about Costco. Cheers from Austin Texas
YES! In addition to these must-buys, we head for the berries, kiwi, and mangos, always fresh, high quality, often offered in both organic and regular, and cheaper than even on-sale fruits in our grocery. M&Ms and animal crackers are also a HUGE HUGE bargain, but having that many M&Ms in my house is not good.
I don't how I got lucky enough to get your video in my feed and now I'm hooked! I must've seen about 5 back to back! Love your enthusiasm and candidness! Your hand gestures add to your presentation and charm. Thank you
i agree, the one complaint i have is they need to change up what they offer in prepared foods, it's so easy to get sick of the same prepared foods they always have imho maybe each month have something different?
Me too! First night roast chicken, of course. Then the leftovers get divided for 2 more meals. My current favorites are mini chicken pot pies, chicken enchilada Verde, or chicken salad sandwiches (bounce bounce).
Love their veggie pizza. I always order it for big parties and potluck. Also their customer service is top notch. I know someone who returned a rug after an year. Sometimes customers do take undue advantage of Costco.
As it just so coincidentally would happen, when you mentioned the Costco chickens, I happened to be picking through the remains of a Costco chicken preparing it for lunch. I have heard somewhere that Costco actually loses money on those chickens, but they want to keep them at that price, because they are such a strong draw for bringing customers much more frequently into the stores, where they will purchase other items while there, so it actually turns into a considerable profit for them.
The Kirkland hearing ads are about 1/3 the price of “regular” hearing aid centers. These are manufactured by a national brand. Also, Costco has certified technicians who test hearing, fit the aids and offer follow up service. Also, outstanding warranties for both loss and servicing. No charge for initial exam and follow up visits.
My mother has Costco (Dallas, TX) hearing aids. She said the exam was more thorough than the previous two she had at her regular audiologist. She likes these aids better and I like the price better since I paid for all of them. Paid about half of what her other sets cost.
You nailed it Matt! YES the leggings and other ladies clothes are GREAT buys and durable. I fo go every week for my gas and often chicken. Great video. Thank you
Engine Oil The Kirkland brand is same brand who makes Mobil 1 usually goes for 24.99.Warren distribution. Car supplies sometimes they have McGuires Car Soap for 6 dollars. The windshield wipers high quality wipers for 8 dollars. Micro fibers from Costco are superior quality
Your videos are always good info. Early in the year I joined Costco, and I’m still in shock. The meat is the best you can buy, and cheaper than anywhere
After watching a few of your videos about Costco shopping, one that stood out was their liquor offerings. I live in MD, which does not allow liquor sales, but the DC one does. So by taking a little road trip,, was well worth it. For example, bought a bottle of Buffalo Trace Bourbon there. At my local liquor store, a standard 750ml bottle is $37, at DC Costco, a huge 1.75 l bottle is $37. A 23 year old single malt scotch by Kirkland, highly rated by whiskey reviewers, was $78. On average, a 20+ year single malt from any of the major distilleries is priced in the several hundred dollar range. For future purchasing, will resist the urge to shop for any frozen items from trips to this particular Costco, since the commute is prone to traffic delays, even if going mid-afternoon on a Tuesday.
@@tony_25or6to4 The French KS Vodka is made in the same distillery that Grey Goose is made. It just can't be labeled as Grey Goose for legal/ contract reasons and such.
Thanks for the list. Glad to hear about the baby wipes as I was using a product before that has been discontinued by Walmart. I will add that their bottled water that is arrowhead brand they have the best price of anyone and that’s based on price and quantity of packaging. Also I agree with other people here, their paper towel prices and toilet paper are the best.
I get my contacts there! Best price. Less than American's Best, and BJ'S. That pays for my membership. I also get my glasses there. I bring my own prescriptions there. I use American's Best Club to get my eye check ups. I pay $100 for 3 years and can get 6 eye evaluations. Costco's is $110 per appointment just for contacts.
Before buying keto from Costco, you might want to check out a RUclipsr named Thomas Delauer. His channel is mostly about keto and he talked about the things you should and should not buy at Costco. Just because a product says "keto" doesn't actually mean it is. His channel is pure gold. I changed my grocery shopping habits around his videos.
Such a fantastic list and amazing video! I love how animated you are about the Costco savings and your hand motions are the very best! As a new Costco member, I don’t have any tips to add here however I am making sure that your 11 tips and the tips on the comments section are quickly available for my use when I go there next! Thank you for sharing this really great video! 🙏🏾🙌🏾
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS Yes, someone told me about it but I didn't think I would like it to the point of switching, but I did. It's 30 rolls, wide sheets and blue label. I believe it's the only kind they have under the Kirkland name. The regular price is cheap enough, so when it's on sale it's a real bargain. I sound just like my mom, lol
My husband and I love to watch your videos…you’re not just offering us price savings, that we wouldn’t already know, but we really enjoy your personality, humor, and honesty. There quite a few items that you named today that we totally agree with: eggs, cheeses, rotisserie chicken ( and already cooked chicken wings, (yum!). I always look at any of clothes items because the deals are just ridiculous..in a great way…name brand items are amazing, one of which you didn’t mention but I can attest to are jeans. The only jeans I ever buy are GV Amanda jeans which Costco typically sells for under $15 ( usually from $9.99 to $12.99). I’m looking for them now and hope they come in soon. Other clothing stores sell them starting at $24.99 and up, (even with their 30% off coupons). BTW, hopefully you’ve seen a recent article that discussed gas quality comparisons between Costco and the other big store. I was surprised to see how Costco gas is a better quality that is much better for your autos. The day is too short for us to continue but I do know that you’ve convinced my husband and myself to continually look at your videos for write-ups on Costco and other stores, not just for ideas and item reviews but also because you aren’t boring, but as a treat you make us laugh! Keep it up, take care and ‘we love you’ too.
Another excellent video! Just wanted to make you aware of the great deals on electronics at the military exchanges. Now, I know not everyone has access to them, but a lot of people do and the deals there can be extraordinary! Last year on black friday I got a brand new LG OLED 65" TV for about $500 below anywhere else. It was the top rated one last year by multiple review sites. Anyway, not sure if you can or would do a video on the exchanges, but for those that have access or can get access through a friend or family member, there are just great deals! Also, no sales tax!
I got 4 new Michelin tires at Costco last year. I shopped around first and saved $200! Will receive free tire rotation for life of tires and excellent warranty. LOVE their gas station early opening hours, so early I can go before my drive to work OR wait until late evening after the actual store closes to avoid all crowds. Toilet paper is as great as Charmin. My contacts are 1/2 the cost of buying from my ophthalmologist and the same high quality brand!
SO do I and I am not a great fan of cilantro. I try to like it and can now tolerate it, but it will never be my favorite, but somehow this recipe has just the right amount.
@@phyllisschapiro7894 I know, my Mom and brother love it. Tons of it. Fortunately both my husband and I have about the same amount of tolerance so I am not depriving him when I skimp on it. But I have gotten better about at least not actively disliking it. :).
Your wife is absolutely correct on the leggings. Especially during the winter when Costco has the fleece lined ones! They are sooo nice! Along the same lines, I will also add feminine beauty & hygiene products. They tend to be the same name brands you get at the drugstores, but at a good discount. And beauty products generally don’t expire and are used everyday.
Deal Guy! Need your help if you know??? Which is better? The Costco Unitex white Terry towel (52 in package) or the Members Mark white Terry towel (60 in the package). I'm needing to purchase but I have no clue and can't find any reviews on the brand available at Costco. Thank you for your help!!!
I buy many clothing items there. Great quality and prices. I've been a member since 2006. Costco just opened a warehouse in Oklahoma. I wish it were closer to where I live though. Hopefully they will open another on my side of town. We also buy our meat from there. We have never gone wrong with anything we have purchased there. The return policy is fantastic!
I definitely don’t want to walk in Walmart! 😂 I love the paper towels, trash bags and toilet paper at Costco...the Kirkland brand! Thanks for the list!
Baby Wipes review: my daughters are 9 years apart. I found unopen baby wipes from my oldest and the package was still good and not moldy after 9 years of being in the package. 😱😱😱 I am still shocked.
Thanks for sharing! First time watching your channel! I love the decaf coffee from Kirkland and the regular as well. Around $9 for a 3 lb! For those who are coffee lovers of course!
Love love the Parmesan blocks. They add so much to any dish I make and I save over months of use. The rind is a wonderful addition to Tuscan soup, et al.
Getting glasses and contacts there is also a good deal. Their lens selection might be a bit limited, but the prices can't be beat and everyone there is always so nice.
I just bought some long needed glasses…….and paid around $300!! I was super happy! They were a designer brand with everything! The last time i bought glasses…..they cost over $450 (& that was 4-5 yrs ago!). I now still have money in my health savings account! (Bought contacts also)
I will tell you that if you are a regular Costco customer, the Executive membership is well worth it. The rebate pays for my membership fees and I usually pocket an additional $30 - 50. (Your results will vary depending on spend)
When you get your yearly refund check, you can cash it out at the register and put your purchase on your Costco credit card so you get the points. The cashier told me that! Awesome.
@@denniskennedyjr.9128 me too. Being one person I don’t buy enough. But, I still like their products and choices. I still buy in bulk because the price is right.
You are good at what you do and strangely entertaining. Love the way you refer to your "sweethearts.". Where in Canada are you from? Glad you are proud of your heritage!
We love buying their ready-made-entrees that just need to be cooked. Our family travels a lot for sports and sometimes it leaves little time to prepare for dinner, but throwing a Costco meal in the oven helps us out so much on those busy or lazy days! :) Also, we love their Kirkland brand pizza’s...it’s like 4 in a pack for $12 (roughly)
Loving this one thank's for sharing very important information giving blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪
Also...the Kirkland Organic peanut butter is the BEST. To me, it's almost worth the membership just for that. Also, the Artisan Romaine, which is smaller heads of lettuce. So good. Mission Chips, for a HUGE bag are less than the tiniest of bags in the grocery. I just love Costco...
If you're into the rotisserie chicken, they also sell the meat de-boned and packaged (you can find it with the ready made meals in refrigerated area). But, like .99 hamburgers at McDonald's, there is a reason they are so cheap. The price on organic chicken is better than I've seen anywhere, especially if you buy a whole chicken.
Jewelry, diamonds in particular. My son and daughter-in-law purchased a lovely wedding set at Costco. It has since been appraised, by two different sources, as about double the price they paid.
We are seniors and our favorites are frozen Kirkland Panko breaded shrimp (for 2 people makes about 4 dinners with 6 shrimp each - also baked so no frying) and the value pack pork chops.Other stores have value pack chops but they are very thin. Costco chops are thick enough to bar-b-q and with one chop per each of us makes about 6 dinners (I open pack when I get home, divide them by two and wrap in tin foil. They freeze very nicely.)
First of all, I’m Italian. Talking with my hands is a way of life. Anyway, I don’t know how we survived before Costco. Their gas prices are the best, love their trash bags, and as a crafter, I couldn’t survive without their baby wipes. Their bakery department is the best-the cookies, muffins, pies-I have to be careful or I’d weigh a ton!
When I make cards, I use the baby wipes to clean my stamps or clean my work surface. I also put drops of a few different colors of reinkers on the baby wipes and use it as a stamp pad. There are videos on You Tube of this technique.
I swore by the baby wipes as well. I just bought the RICO brand (also at Costco) and very impressed. All organic, if you care for that, but very strong, non scented, my baby who is fairly sensitive - it has been great. Best of all when I’m pulling to get them out, I only get one wipe, I don’t have a whole bunch strangling with the one I’m pulling. Oh and it was $2 cheaper than the “Kirkland” Costco brand, I believe that’s the everyday price, lastly it also has the same 900 wipes.
Yes to the baby wipes! I have been using them for years, but don't have a baby. So many uses for this! But for the leggings...I bought a pair of sketchers leggings, and hated it. So I think you need to specify the brand.
I was laughing so hard over the back and forth little comments about kids and pets! 😂 Not only do you serve us good deals, but you do it with spice and comedy! Thank you, sir!

I was hoping you said toilet paper

I have heard somewhere that Costco actually loses money on those chickens, but they want to keep them at that price, because they are such a strong draw for bringing customers much more frequently into the stores, where they will purchase other items while there, so it actually turns into a considerable profit for them.
The Kirkland hearing ads are about 1/3 the price of “regular” hearing aid centers. These are manufactured by a national brand. Also, Costco has certified technicians who test hearing, fit the aids and offer follow up service. Also, outstanding warranties for both loss and servicing. No charge for initial exam and follow up visits.
Too many people I know have not had good luck/experiences w/costco hearing aids. Know several people who returned theirs.
My mother has Costco (Dallas, TX) hearing aids. She said the exam was more thorough than the previous two she had at her regular audiologist. She likes these aids better and I like the price better since I paid for all of them. Paid about half of what her other sets cost.
thats good to know Thanks!
What national brand manufactures the Kirkland hearing aids?
I believe mine are manufactured by Rexton, but they’re 3 + years old.
You nailed it Matt!
YES the leggings and other ladies clothes are GREAT buys and durable. I fo go every week for my gas and often chicken.
Great video. Thank you
You are so correct! Love all those items, chicken, towel paper, wipes, trash bags! & I also started purchasing the dog food!
The pizza and the hotdog! Also family favorites that are extremely affordable for quick meals
Hubs and I love the “honeymoon special” a romantic tube steak dinner for 2.
Hot dogs make me nervous.
Used to love them...until I found out how they’re made 🙀😿
Costco travel is also pretty good! Have used it in cruises and all inclusive hotels
Engine Oil The Kirkland brand is same brand who makes Mobil 1 usually goes for 24.99.Warren distribution.
Car supplies sometimes they have McGuires Car Soap for 6 dollars.
The windshield wipers high quality wipers for 8 dollars.
Micro fibers from Costco are superior quality
I as a car detailer support these microfibre clothes in bundles
Your videos are always good info. Early in the year I joined Costco, and I’m still in shock. The meat is the best you can buy, and cheaper than anywhere
After watching a few of your videos about Costco shopping, one that stood out was their liquor offerings. I live in MD, which does not allow liquor sales, but the DC one does. So by taking a little road trip,, was well worth it. For example, bought a bottle of Buffalo Trace Bourbon there. At my local liquor store, a standard 750ml bottle is $37, at DC Costco, a huge 1.75 l bottle is $37. A 23 year old single malt scotch by Kirkland, highly rated by whiskey reviewers, was $78. On average, a 20+ year single malt from any of the major distilleries is priced in the several hundred dollar range. For future purchasing, will resist the urge to shop for any frozen items from trips to this particular Costco, since the commute is prone to traffic delays, even if going mid-afternoon on a Tuesday.
Thanks for the information. I like the Costco trash bags too.
USB Drives, Pet prescriptions, AA batteries, 5-HTP, Edamame (refrigerated section), Kirkland vodka (it's supposedly Grey Goose), sports bras.
Thank you!
@@tony_25or6to4 The French KS Vodka is made in the same distillery that Grey Goose is made. It just can't be labeled as Grey Goose for legal/ contract reasons and such.
I’m so jealous, our Costco doesn’t carry liquor :(

Thanks for the list. Glad to hear about the baby wipes as I was using a product before that has been discontinued by Walmart. I will add that their bottled water that is arrowhead brand they have the best price of anyone and that’s based on price and quantity of packaging. Also I agree with other people here, their paper towel prices and toilet paper are the best.
Miss seeing you on WKYC. You were the best part of the morning. Glad to have found you on RUclips.
Glasses! I always get mine there
I get my contacts there! Best price. Less than American's Best, and BJ'S. That pays for my membership. I also get my glasses there. I bring my own prescriptions there. I use American's Best Club to get my eye check ups. I pay $100 for 3 years and can get 6 eye evaluations. Costco's is $110 per appointment just for contacts.
One thing Costco has is a good bit of keto food! You can get desert bites, ice cream bars, etc!
Nancy, I’ve seen the ice cream bars but not dessert bites. Will you share what they are specifically? Thanks.
Elizabeth Fuentes yes!!! It’s called keto pint no sugar added ice cream bars, I can’t seem to load a photo but will try after I post
Before buying keto from Costco, you might want to check out a RUclipsr named Thomas Delauer. His channel is mostly about keto and he talked about the things you should and should not buy at Costco. Just because a product says "keto" doesn't actually mean it is. His channel is pure gold. I changed my grocery shopping habits around his videos.
Such a fantastic list and amazing video! I love how animated you are about the Costco savings and your hand motions are the very best! As a new Costco member, I don’t have any tips to add here however I am making sure that your 11 tips and the tips on the comments section are quickly available for my use when I go there next! Thank you for sharing this really great video! 🙏🏾🙌🏾
Their Kirkland toilet paper is the best. It is the best quality of any other brand out there and super inexpensive.
@@megatuanis oh this is awesome! I’ll look for it the next time I’m there
@@FineNaturalHairROCKS Yes, someone told me about it but I didn't think I would like it to the point of switching, but I did. It's 30 rolls, wide sheets and blue label. I believe it's the only kind they have under the Kirkland name. The regular price is cheap enough, so when it's on sale it's a real bargain. I sound just like my mom, lol
You forgot to mention that on the TVs they double the warranty time! Love your videos Matt!
I have no idea why I am watching this, the nearest one is 2 hrs from me! Butttt maybe because I love the hand motions or the enthusiasm 😁😂❤️
Glad to have you here with me Katrina!
They also do their own delivery.
Closest one is 4hrs for me 😂 butttt hubby& I have an executive membership and take that drive once or twice a month and it's totally worth it 👌
If you like hands motion, check Scotty Kilmer, this guy talks with his hands.
@@romanromanowski9038 Yes, I have watched him for YEARS... He is great.. 🤣😂
You rock! Thank you for all the great content and enthusiasm you share w/all of us :)
My husband and I love to watch your videos…you’re not just offering us price savings, that we wouldn’t already know, but we really enjoy your personality, humor, and honesty. There quite a few items that you named today that we totally agree with: eggs, cheeses, rotisserie chicken ( and already cooked chicken wings, (yum!). I always look at any of clothes items because the deals are just ridiculous..in a great way…name brand items are amazing, one of which you didn’t mention but I can attest to are jeans. The only jeans I ever buy are GV Amanda jeans which Costco typically sells for under $15 ( usually from $9.99 to $12.99). I’m looking for them now and hope they come in soon. Other clothing stores sell them starting at $24.99 and up, (even with their 30% off coupons). BTW, hopefully you’ve seen a recent article that discussed gas quality comparisons between Costco and the other big store. I was surprised to see how Costco gas is a better quality that is much better for your autos.
The day is too short for us to continue but I do know that you’ve convinced my husband and myself to continually look at your videos for write-ups on Costco and other stores, not just for ideas and item reviews but also because you aren’t boring, but as a treat you make us laugh!
Keep it up, take care and ‘we love you’ too.
Another excellent video! Just wanted to make you aware of the great deals on electronics at the military exchanges. Now, I know not everyone has access to them, but a lot of people do and the deals there can be extraordinary! Last year on black friday I got a brand new LG OLED 65" TV for about $500 below anywhere else. It was the top rated one last year by multiple review sites. Anyway, not sure if you can or would do a video on the exchanges, but for those that have access or can get access through a friend or family member, there are just great deals! Also, no sales tax!
“I’m weak both emotionally and physically “ funny!!
I was hoping someone commented on this. lol I cracked up hard.
He was speaking my language there for real!
Cheerios! Especially when on sale you are getting 2 boxes for less than the price of 1 someplace else.
You are right on about the wipes. They are great if you are caring for a senior as well.
I got 4 new Michelin tires at Costco last year. I shopped around first and saved $200! Will receive free tire rotation for life of tires and excellent warranty. LOVE their gas station early opening hours, so early I can go before my drive to work OR wait until late evening after the actual store closes to avoid all crowds. Toilet paper is as great as Charmin. My contacts are 1/2 the cost of buying from my ophthalmologist and the same high quality brand!
I absolutely love the chicken and cilantro mini wontons in the frozen food section.
SO do I and I am not a great fan of cilantro. I try to like it and can now tolerate it, but it will never be my favorite, but somehow this recipe has just the right amount.
It really is genetic! Some people perceive cilantro as having a soapy taste. It's not their fault!!! 👀
@@phyllisschapiro7894 I know, my Mom and brother love it. Tons of it. Fortunately both my husband and I have about the same amount of tolerance so I am not depriving him when I skimp on it. But I have gotten better about at least not actively disliking it. :).
Your wife is absolutely correct on the leggings. Especially during the winter when Costco has the fleece lined ones! They are sooo nice! Along the same lines, I will also add feminine beauty & hygiene products. They tend to be the same name brands you get at the drugstores, but at a good discount. And beauty products generally don’t expire and are used everyday.
Deal Guy! Need your help if you know??? Which is better? The Costco Unitex white Terry towel (52 in package) or the Members Mark white Terry towel (60 in the package). I'm needing to purchase but I have no clue and can't find any reviews on the brand available at Costco. Thank you for your help!!!
This guy is so great - so enjoyable to watch - so helpful & informative 👍
I buy many clothing items there. Great quality and prices. I've been a member since 2006. Costco just opened a warehouse in Oklahoma. I wish it were closer to where I live though. Hopefully they will open another on my side of town. We also buy our meat from there. We have never gone wrong with anything we have purchased there. The return policy is fantastic!
I definitely don’t want to walk in Walmart! 😂
I love the paper towels, trash bags and toilet paper at Costco...the Kirkland brand! Thanks for the list!
Baby Wipes review: my daughters are 9 years apart. I found unopen baby wipes from my oldest and the package was still good and not moldy after 9 years of being in the package. 😱😱😱 I am still shocked.
Costco quality is second to none!
Thanks for sharing! First time watching your channel! I love the decaf coffee from Kirkland and the regular as well. Around $9 for a 3 lb!
For those who are coffee lovers of course!
Kirkland coffee is Starbucks
So glad I found your channel! Have a told a few friends about it and shared it on FB.
Gas! It's the best price in my area by 30 cents!
Their gas prices really are amazing!
Plus 4% using their credit card
The lines are too long.
Do they have Diesel?
@@teriehr8490 I just looked and they don't in my area. I am in Eastern Iowa.
I buy all my family's birthday cakes there! It's hands down, the BEST!
Love love the Parmesan blocks. They add so much to any dish I make and I save over months of use. The rind is a wonderful addition to Tuscan soup, et al.
The select a size paper towels are excellent. Just as great as more well known brands.
So thankful for all ur humouristic deal findings xoxo
Loved this helpful video!!
you are great! Thank you for all the great content and enthusiasm you share we all of us.
Getting glasses and contacts there is also a good deal. Their lens selection might be a bit limited, but the prices can't be beat and everyone there is always so nice.
Glasses and contact lenses are much cheaper online. Often a third of the price
I just bought some long needed glasses…….and paid around $300!! I was super happy! They were a designer brand with everything! The last time i bought glasses…..they cost over $450 (& that was 4-5 yrs ago!). I now still have money in my health savings account! (Bought contacts also)
I will tell you that if you are a regular Costco customer, the Executive membership is well worth it. The rebate pays for my membership fees and I usually pocket an additional $30 - 50. (Your results will vary depending on spend)
When you get your yearly refund check, you can cash it out at the register and put your purchase on your Costco credit card so you get the points. The cashier told me that! Awesome.
Not always, in my case I don’t quite break even and they did the analysis for me, love them.
@@denniskennedyjr.9128 me too. Being one person I don’t buy enough. But, I still like their products and choices. I still buy in bulk because the price is right.
The threshold is $3000 per year. If you spend more than that, it's worth it, if less, it's not
You are good at what you do and strangely entertaining. Love the way you refer to your "sweethearts.". Where in Canada are you from? Glad you are proud of your heritage!
“Strangely” entertaining haha
That’s actually true!
I was trying to find the exact right word. You nailed it 😺😺
We love buying their ready-made-entrees that just need to be cooked. Our family travels a lot for sports and sometimes it leaves little time to prepare for dinner, but throwing a Costco meal in the oven helps us out so much on those busy or lazy days! :) Also, we love their Kirkland brand pizza’s...it’s like 4 in a pack for $12 (roughly)
Loving this one thank's for sharing very important information giving blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪
Also...the Kirkland Organic peanut butter is the BEST. To me, it's almost worth the membership just for that. Also, the Artisan Romaine, which is smaller heads of lettuce. So good. Mission Chips, for a HUGE bag are less than the tiniest of bags in the grocery. I just love Costco...
If you're into the rotisserie chicken, they also sell the meat de-boned and packaged (you can find it with the ready made meals in refrigerated area). But, like .99 hamburgers at McDonald's, there is a reason they are so cheap. The price on organic chicken is better than I've seen anywhere, especially if you buy a whole chicken.
Jewelry, diamonds in particular. My son and daughter-in-law purchased a lovely wedding set at Costco. It has since been appraised, by two different sources, as about double the price they paid.
We are seniors and our favorites are frozen Kirkland Panko breaded shrimp (for 2 people makes about 4 dinners with 6 shrimp each - also baked so no frying) and the value pack pork chops.Other stores have value pack chops but they are very thin. Costco chops are thick enough to bar-b-q and with one chop per each of us makes about 6 dinners (I open pack when I get home, divide them by two and wrap in tin foil. They freeze very nicely.)
Love Costco, thanks Matt!!
Love Costco and love you for being here Donna!
Pizza!
Day-after rotisserie chicken parts (LARGE pack of white or dark meat, only a few dollars)
Snack foods (nuts, crackers, dried fruit)
You have me chuckling along with your videos!
You are so fun to watch! Thanks for the info!
Great, good information thank you 👍😁
First of all, I’m Italian. Talking with my hands is a way of life. Anyway, I don’t know how we survived before Costco. Their gas prices are the best, love their trash bags, and as a crafter, I couldn’t survive without their baby wipes. Their bakery department is the best-the cookies, muffins, pies-I have to be careful or I’d weigh a ton!
Do tell. What's the correlation with baby wipes and crafting. Add a fellow crafter I fear I may be missing an amazing cleaning opportunity.
A crafter you say? Baby wipes? Is that for cleaning up crafting messes or do you make something with the wipes?
When I make cards, I use the baby wipes to clean my stamps or clean my work surface. I also put drops of a few different colors of reinkers on the baby wipes and use it as a stamp pad. There are videos on You Tube of this technique.
Great video!!
Costco brand (Kirkland) Paper Towels and Toilet Paper, Bread, Water, Tuna, and nuts!
I swore by the baby wipes as well. I just bought the RICO brand (also at Costco) and very impressed. All organic, if you care for that, but very strong, non scented, my baby who is fairly sensitive - it has been great. Best of all when I’m pulling to get them out, I only get one wipe, I don’t have a whole bunch strangling with the one I’m pulling. Oh and it was $2 cheaper than the “Kirkland” Costco brand, I believe that’s the everyday price, lastly it also has the same 900 wipes.
Sirloin steak - typically very well-trimmed and lean. Fish. Kirkland brand “Ensure” and “5 Hour Energy” drinks.
Yes to the baby wipes! I have been using them for years, but don't have a baby. So many uses for this!
But for the leggings...I bought a pair of sketchers leggings, and hated it. So I think you need to specify the brand.
My husband and sons love the Kirkland brand undershirts. The quality is sooo much better than other brands and of course, the price is great too!
I was laughing so hard over the back and forth little comments about kids and pets! 😂 Not only do you serve us good deals, but you do it with spice and comedy! Thank you, sir!
