I have been a dedicated Costco shopper for decades.
But there are certain ingredients that I almost always buy at Costco.
Not only are they high quality, but they also have a reasonable price tag.

Here are my favorites.
Oils

High-quality oils can carry a hefty price tag.
That’s why I purchase large bottles of avocado and extra-virginolive oilfrom Costco.

Nuts
We go through a lot of nuts in my house.
You really can’t beat those prices.
Frozen Pot Stickers
My family adores pot stickers and dumplings.

And they’re a great quick meal.
(It was even a top pick in ourmarinara sauce taste test!)
Nor can its price at Costco be beat!

Cheese
We looooooove cheese at our house and go through a lot of it.
And despite what you may have heard,cheeseis super nutritious and boasts some impressive health benefits.
If we’re having pizza night, I’ll grab fresh mozzarella as well.

And if we’re entertaining, I’ll grab some more specialty cheeses.
They have great artisan cheese options, including Humboldt Fog and cheese from Vermont Creamery and Jasper Hill Farm.
They almost always have organic blueberries and raspberries, but sometimes strawberries and blackberries too.

They have a really big selection, which is nice if you like variety.
Andfrozen fruits and vegetables can be healthierthan fresh since they are frozen at peak ripeness.
I also buy frozen mixed vegetables and broccoli.

Almost all of Costco’s frozen produce is organic, too, if that matters to you.
Frozen Fish
I discovered that I eat more fish when I have it in my freezer.
I tend to buy wild-caught salmon and cod the most.

A couple of my favorite recipes to use them in areMiso-Maple SalmonandAlmond-&-Lemon-Crusted Fish with Spinach.
And one of my daughter’s go-to breakfasts is kale, feta and olive tacos.
The brine they’re packed in is a delicious swap for vinegar in your salad dressing, too.

Chia Seeds
Both my husband and daughter adorechia pudding.
And Dan likes to add more milk, granola or muesli and fruit.
Chia seeds have myriad health benefits; namely, they are packed with fiber, protein and omega-3s.

Oats
We go through a lot of oats at our house!
