okay so my original Costco list kind of went viral, and honestly it deserved to, but it was just the tip of the iceberg. so I walked the ENTIRE store, top to bottom, taking notes on every single thing I actually buy, and turned it into this. the upgraded version, like ten times better.
this is the one you save and come back to for years!!! my ULTIMATE guide :)
this is genuinely everythinggg, what I buy, what I’d stock my kitchen with, the meals I build, the tools, the little hacks, all in one place.
I’m a busy mom of two. I don’t have time to meal prep everything from scratch or spend hours in the kitchen, but I also refuse to live on processed food and takeout because my body can FEEL it, and so can yours. Costco is honestly one of the best tools for that exact tension, because you can stock up on high-quality protein, grab snacks that actually have some nutrition in them, and not go broke doing it.
I go to Costco about once a month and stock up on all the proteins for my freezer, then I hit my regular grocery store weekly for fresh produce and whatever else I need. That keeps my costs down, my freezer full, and my stress levels LOW because I always have something I can throw together for dinner without thinking.
Let me give you my single favorite lazy-genius staple right now, so you walk away with something good today even if you never read another word.
The frozen grass-fed burger patty hack. I keep a bag of 100% grass-fed frozen burger patties in the freezer, and any night I need ground beef but forgot to thaw any (every night, let’s be honest), I drop a couple in a little water in a hot pan and they break down into cooked ground beef in minutes. Burger night, taco night, spaghetti, done. You always have ground beef on hand and it’s already portioned. That one trick has saved dinner more times than I can count.
And that’s just one. There are two more staples I’m genuinely obsessed with in the full list below, the canned tuna that’s got a kind of unheard-of protein-to-calorie ratio, and the breakfast sausage that makes a 30g protein morning effortless. Plus every single thing else I buy, and exactly what I turn it all into.
Because here’s the truth: if you’ve ever felt totally overwhelmed at Costco just grabbing stuff and hoping it turns into dinner somehow, this is exactly what helps.
