What do you always consider "MUST BUYS" at Costco?
For me, I always buy TP, paper towels, coffee, liquor, cigarettes, produce, DVD's, and, (sometimes) clothing. Plus, I buy dog treats and cleaning products.

I started taking a Coleman cooler on the last trip. There were a lot of good buys I had to "chill" on the way home.

What about you?

11. Salad greens, milk, TP and tissue,
wine, chicken and beef, cheese, veggies. I quit shopping there for years until I heard they were a blue company, now I spend $150 every 2 weeks. I started boycotting Walmart and Sam's club when they built one on a Hawaiian burial site. It's a monster but I visualize it as a kid's recreation center, job training center, arts education center, performing arts hall, homeless shelter.
Grrrr Walmart. Thank God Cotso is blue!

12. The box of organic spring mix
It's so yummy and stays fresh for a really long time. Also, they have a container of medium/small vine tomatoes (Campari is the name I think) that are fantastic. Leave them to ripen on your counter. They are the only thing that gets me through the winter here in Chicago because they taste like summer. YUM

15. 20 lb bags of the jumbo baking potatoes
3 pk of head lettuce for $1.99...tri-tip when it's on sale...porl tenderloins...

We rarely leave without spending $300 or more, so I'm sure there is obviously MORE "must-haves"..:)
