Popcorners. They come in a box of like 24 individual bags in 3 flavors. They're amazing. I've eaten like half the box in the past few days.
These are good! I've had the Kettle & White Cheddar flavors. We have the Kettle ones in a vending machine at work & I've bought 3 small bags at $1.25 each!
I found out their organic ground beef is grass fed! And it is less than $5/pound
Whoa! Seriously!? This makes me happier than you know.
Farmer, thanks for the rec on the chicken burgers. They sound really yummy.
I haven't bought them yet, but I'm on a special diet for the next few weeks and have been eating a lot of eggs. They sell a 24-pack of already shelled hard-boiled eggs for less than $5. I am excited to get them next week to make egg salad with.

We haven't been to Costco since our move, because usually we only stock up on meat an household stuff. But now that I work from home, I think I need a lot more of this stuff, because I forget to plan to eat during the day.
Skinnypop Popcorn. Opening the bag smells like a movie popcorn without butter, which is my standard order. A 4-cup serving, which is huge, is like 150 calories. I usually eat half a serving and it's still a good-sized snack.

My kids LOVE the Kirkland pizzas.
I just picked up a bag of Stacy's Pretzel Bread crisps and am loving them.
They had the Popcorners as a special demo at our Costco and said they were only selling the 24 snack pack box during that weekend. I didn't get one, now I'm thinking I should have!
Does anyone know if you can get a guest pass to check it out? They just recently built a Costco near my house but I haven't been in there yet. Reading all these posts makes me want to check it out.

I sort of think so, because I think we went and checked it out before we joined. But also, I think you can cancel your membership at anytime and get a full refund, so that is basically the same thing.

Yes. Go to the customer service desk and ask if you can look around before deciding to join. I believe I had to give ID or fill out a form or something. Maybe it was the membership form that I could then activate if I wanted to join? I don't remember now. But it was very easy. The guest pass doesn't allow you to make purchases, though; if you want to buy anything you have to go back to the desk and join.
My only sad face about Costco is that they don't have the legendary pencil skirt everyone is raving about. Not that I necessarily planned to buy it, but I at least wanted to see it. I did see the coat someone posted about a few weeks ago though. It's cute, but after my crazy 8-coat buying spree last year, the last thing I need is a winter coat.
Me too! Where did you learn this? I am psyched to try it now.
The majority of people on paleohacks seem to agree it is. The debate is whether or not it is grass finished. But we are in saving mode so this is good enough for me!
Given that I assumed it was organic-grain fed, I'm pretty pleased to hear that it might be grass fed at all. This girl only has so much money to spend on pricey food.
I also love CostCo's winter clothing selection. DH and I both just got new ski gloves and I purchased an under layer for skiing. And I will always rave about their pet beds. Ours have held up so well and they're absurdly cheap. I'm fairly certain the cost savings on those alone have made up a year's worth of membership fees.

Oh. So no verifiable source? Bummer. Oh well, it's probably better to stick to my local source anyway. Not that I buy grass fed 100% of the time, but when I do, I want to be sure I know what I'm getting.
Although Costco seems like the kind of company that would verify this if someone asked. Maybe I'll email them. My current backup source of grass-fed is WF, so it would be nice to find a backup that's less expensive.
