Here’s a helpful shopping list from Katie, based on her years of personal research and experience shopping around to buy the best quality foods for the best prices from a variety of sources. These are the foods that she typically buys in bulk from Costco to keep her kitchen pantry well-stocked.
(Note that there are other wholesale membership stores that are similar to Costco … such as Thrive Market!)
Katie has divided her most important food purchases into these 2 categories:
1. The Essentials (the best deal, or only place to find something.)
2. The Basics (stuff that’s a decent deal)
What does a real foodie buy at Costco? Sourcing organic, natural and healthy groceries on the cheap.
1. The Essentials
This is why I love Costco – lots of well-sourced foods at good prices that I can’t find anywhere else. But be careful – not everything that’s packaged as a health food ends up being so.
