My favorite Costco buys (food + drink focused) that typically make it into my cart at least once a month. These are the items that make eating healthy and still enjoying what I put into my body easier. Treats are included, because life isn't as brigh...

Hydration is key
Poppi at the value cost. Honestly, inject it into my veins (jk, 1 maybe 2 in a day is all I can reasonably handle). The cost value on this in comparison to buying it anywhere else is ludicrous. Keep an eye out for the cranberry variety in the winter....
Some people think these are overhyped, and some people are wrong. I have one of these most days, and I actively feel more energized and stronger. Is it placebo? I don't know, and I don't care.
Get in girls, we're getting our daily fiber in. Edamame is my queen. I love her. These packs are the perfect size and only take 2.5 minutes in the microwave. Also, edamame is an active food, great for my ADHD.
Imperial Garden Organic Edamame, 6 lbs
Excellent snack, very easy to heat up. Sauce is good, but honestly still delicious without it if you're watching your sodium intake.
CJ Bibigo Steamed Dumplings, Chicken & Vegetable, 36- ...
Another snack option that I love/occupies my time well. I love snacks that take a tiny bit of effort to consume, so I can't just eat without thinking about it. These are a great option while still feeling healthy.
Volupta Premium Freeze Dried Strawberries, 5 oz
If edamame is my queen then seaweed snacks are my king. Iron for days, and these packs have soooo many sheets. Genuinely great snack power if you like things on the plainer side. Definitely enough salt here without being overly salty.
If you're looking for more bang from your snack, these mini-tacos are the way to go. They're simple and not too salty, and work great as a small snack or all the way up to a meal depending on how many you choose to make. These are amazing when you ma...
Don Miguel Chipotle Chicken Mini Tacos, 35 oz, 2-count
These are the avocado mash cups I use to dip my air-fried chicken tacos! Portion is actually pretty great, and one box of avocado cups has lasted me through two full packs of chicken tacos.

The ease of not really having to cook tonight, Costco, you bless me.
So good. So easy to throw in the oven for an hour and then serve. The ease is everything.
Kirkland Signature Stuffed Bell Peppers with Ground Beef
Stupidly good and cost effective. Pop some rice in the rice maker and cut up some avocado and you've got poke bowls for days.
Costco Kirkland Signature Poke
Also excellent. Love to get good tortilla chips to eat with this.
Shrimp Ceviche Salad Same-Day Delivery | Costco
Okay, this was a new find this season, and it's FANTASTIC. The flavor is spot on (slightly sweet but still salty/umami), and the portion is great for a large meal for 1 person, with a full package being a large meal for 2 or a medium meal for 3. The ...
Is this the biggest section? Yes. Am I ashamed about it? No.
Best dried mango for your buck (plus no additives or preservatives here. Ingredient list: mango.)
Kirkland Signature Organic Dried Mangoes, 2.5 lbs
Costco usually has one of the two macaron packs seen in the photos, and whichever one is available is worth it. I've had both, and while the price/quantity (~$13 for 36 vs ~15 for 21) is better for one, the flavors/quality is better for the other (s/...
Macarons
Dark horse pick here, but wow these are so good. I did not expect to like these, but my cousin had me try one and I was converted almost instantly. Flavor balance is excellent and guilt is nonexistent. Another great dessert.
Skinny Dipped Dark Chocolate Coconut Almond Bites, 30- ...
If you haven't heard about these yet, you're missing out. They're delicious and arguably the best for you nutritiously out of all the peanut-butter-cup contenders. The dark chocolate is the right touch, and the size is more generous than you'd expect...
